Chapter 629 First Visit To Doveston
Jason glowered at Jonathan for at least tens of seconds before he finally cooled his head off and put the scalpel away. Jonathan loosened his grip on his shoulders and stood aside. He turned to cast a look at Lauryn, only to find that her face had turned ashen, and there was intense fear in her eyes.
As the heiress from one of the respectable families, Lauryn was used to being sought after by others, be it from the Blackwood family or her sect. She had never suffered from any grievances before.
That time when Jonathan had set her up twice previously was already the worst moments so far in her life. Now that she had met the mad doctor who hated the respectable families to his core, she was scared out of his wits.
Staring at her, Jonathan stated placidly, “His name is Jason Carrick. He’s the only successor of the Carrick family known for their expertise in the medical field in Gerton. About thirteen years ago, respectable families set their sights on the Carrick family’s expertise in the medical field.
One of the families even wiped out more than five hundred people from his family to obtain their medical book. If there’s a chance, you could help him investigate the matter and find out which respectable family was the culprit.”
Lauryn nodded slightly, but she still avoided meeting Jason’s eyes. Even though they were both at the same cultivation level, she was fully aware that she was no match for him the moment they met.
Jonathan had a hunch that if a battle unfolded between Lauryn and Jason, she might not even be able to demonstrate half of her combat prowess due to her psychological stress.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Jason Carrick.” Jason flashed her a smile as he stretched out his right hand.
Lauryn turned around and started to throw up again.
Jonathan rolled his eyes at Jason. “Can’t you wash off the blood from your hands?”
Jason looked at the dried blood stain on his hands and casually rubbed it off.
“Mr. Goldstein, I can’t keep an eye on her all the time as I have a lot of matters to settle every day. Why don’t you seal her spiritual energy right away?”
Lauryn’s eyes widened when she heard that.
However, the next second, she felt a tingling sensation on her neck. On the heels of that, her entire body gave way as though her bones had suddenly vanished. She would have fallen if she had not held onto the wall in the nick of time.
“Jonathan, if you want me to stay with him but seal my spiritual energy, I would rather you finish me off now.”
“Don’t worry. Since I’ve promised not to lay a finger on you, I’ll keep my word.” Jason chuckled and turned to look in Jonathan’s direction. “Mr. Goldstein, you’re heading to Doveston this time to—”
“To kill Karl and avenge those who have lost their lives.”
After sorting out everything in Edenic Heights, Jonathan headed to Doveston alone. While seated on the plane, he fell into a trance as he gazed at the clouds outside the window.
Apart from killing Karl, he intended to look into another matter—they had lost touch with the intelligence network of Asura’s Office in Doveston mysteriously. Because of Yaleview, Asura’s Office could not take the risk of sending their troops there.
Asura’s Office had been getting in touch with Doveston via the Eastern Army openly and the intelligence network in the shadows.
The intelligence networks nationwide were set up by Asura’s Office. They did not belong to any local department or King of War and reported directly to Asura’s Office.
When Doveston used to be in peace before Karl’s betrayal, their intelligence network usually only updated Asura’s Office on trivial matters. However, it had been completely paralyzed after Karl’s betrayal.
