Immortal King

Chapter 84

At that moment, Jack had just reached the outskirts of Wyndcrest.

"Sir, do you really have to be in such a hurry?" Maxwell yawned. "I can personally treat her, and I promise she'll wake up. Why not take me to get something to eat first? My stomach is—"

"Shut up!" Jack growled, his eyes cold. He had been feeling inexplicably nervous for a while, and had a bad feeling. Earlier, on Shine Mountain, his phone had no signal. Now, he immediately called Drake.

"How's it going over there, Drake?" Jack asked directly.

"Miss Foster is taking care of Miss Carter. With the protection of the Carter family, there should be no problem," Drake replied. "I found some clues about the person behind the scenes last time, so I took Simon to investigate."

"How could you be so foolish today?" Jack shouted angrily, "I told you to protect Emily. Who gave you permission to leave your post? Also, shouldn't Simon be guarding Dragon Crest Villa? Who will keep Cindy and Tina safe if he's gone?"

"Sir..." Drake was so scared that his face turned pale. He had thought that Wyndcrest would be safe for the time being after the Steele family and the Shaw family were seriously injured. However, the moment he realized Jack was in danger, he couldn't wait to find out who was behind this. After all, the glory of General Steele couldn't be blasphemed!

But in this situation, Emily and Cindy had no one to protect them.

"Go find Cindy and Tina with Simon. Make sure they are safe. I'll go find Emily directly," Jack ordered.

"Yes!" Drake replied hurriedly.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so powerful," Maxwell teased Jack when he saw him on the phone. However, Jack didn't have time to talk to him. He drove the car in the direction of the private hospital as fast as he could.

At this moment, Chloe was still punishing Emily. "You hypocritical b***h, I'll beat you to death!" She tugged on Emily's long hair and kept slapping her. Emily's face was red and swollen, and blood was still flowing from her forehead. She was already dizzy.

"Enough!" Arthur shouted coldly, "I still need her to take care of Lily. I can't let her get hurt."

Hearing this, Chloe could only stop and say, "b***h, if you dare hurt my sister again, I'll cut off your hand!"

"I... I didn't..." Emily leaned against the door and denied it stubbornly.

"How dare you talk back!" Chloe snorted, raised the broom, and swung it at her head.

However, the broom did not hit Emily on the head. Instead, it was held tightly by a hand. Chloe looked up and met the murderous eyes of Jack.

She screamed and hurriedly ran behind Arthur to hide, trembling as she said, "Grandpa, save me!"

"Jack?" Emily raised her head and looked at the man with a difficult smile on his face.

Jack took a deep breath and held the woman in his arms. He glanced at everyone present with cold eyes and questioned, "What the hell is going on!"

"J... Jack, you can't blame me," Chloe hid behind her grandfather and lied. "Emily pretended to take care of my sister but secretly took revenge on her! I'll definitely help my sister if she's bullied!"

Hearing this, Jack frowned. He didn't believe Emily was that kind of woman. Something wasn't right.

"Well, these scars are very fresh. They must have been caused less than ten minutes ago, right?" A lazy voice suddenly spoke up.

Only then did the crowd notice a young man standing by the bed, examining the injury on Lily's arm.

"Who are you? Get lost! Don't touch my sister!" Chloe shouted.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you feeling guilty?"

Maxwell said confidently, "It's quite simple, actually. This young lady has some broken skin on her body, so the person who injured her should have skin fragments in the gaps between their fingers."

"I'm sure I don't!" Emily immediately stretched out her hands and said.

"Humph, of course you don't!" Chloe pointed at Emily and scolded. "You just washed your hands. Even if there were fragments, they would have been washed away. Do you think we're fools?"

"Let's see if you have any." Maxwell grabbed Chloe by the wrist.

"You... let me go!" Chloe panicked and struggled, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

"Well, look at these." With an innocent smile, Maxwell inserted a silver needle into the gap between Chloe's fingers and picked out some skin tissue still stained with blood. "Isn't she your sister? Why are you so cruel to frame others?"

"I... I didn't! I didn't do it! You're slandering me!" Chloe shouted, her eyes full of fear.

But when Arthur saw his granddaughter's expression, he knew she was guilty. A surge of anger rose in his heart. He slapped Chloe across the face and ordered loudly, "Take her back and lock her up. Don't let her out for three months!"

"Yes!" Two juniors from the Carter family immediately grabbed Chloe and prepared to leave.

However, Jack stopped them. After beating Emily, simply locking her up wasn't enough to resolve this matter. But at that moment, Emily suddenly grabbed his hand and gently shook her head.

Jack frowned and sighed. In the end, he let her go.

"How come you're back so soon, Jack. Where's the guy you've been looking for?" Arthur asked coldly. "This boy?"

"What's wrong? Do you look down on young people?" Before Jack could speak, Maxwell retorted with an unhappy face. "Your granddaughter's condition can be cured by any member of our the Icarus family!"

Maxwell proudly took out a bag of silver needles from his pocket. After disinfection, he began treating Lily. Just a second later, several important acupuncture points on her head were filled with silver needles of different lengths, and these silver needles were still vibrating gently.

Emily was curious and couldn't help asking, "Why are these needles moving?"

Just as Jack was about to explain, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw that it was a call from Drake, he immediately picked it up and asked, "How about Cindy and Ms. Trump?"

"Sir, they are in trouble. We've saved them, but we're now surrounded at Triumph Hotel!" Drake said anxiously.
