Chapter 399 I Can Save Him
Whoa. Never thought there'd be this much history. Hansel was surprised. "Infrasound weapon?
That's…" He tried to describe it, but in the end, he said, "Miss Cornell's grandfather was something.
Can't believe he made something like that, but why did he hide it, then?" That'll be a waste.
Jayden smirked, his scar wriggling on his face.
"He didn't want anyone to find it. He could've used that thing to make a ton of money, but he was a
righteous man, so he didn't. He had no one who could succeed him. Elsie was his only daughter, but
she died young, so he placed all his bets on his only granddaughter. He hoped she could find it when
she became capable enough, and for all those years, his wife became the only keeper."
Hansel was a little confused. "But why didn't her grandmother hand that thing over to her when she
was alive? Why did she have to wait until she was dying?"
Jayden shot him a look that said, 'Are you an idiot?' "You think that's a good thing? There are two sides
to this coin. The more valuable something is, the bigger the effort must be exerted to keep it safe. Do
you have any idea how many people are keeping an eye on them? Have you forgotten that Katherine's
grandmother was hunted all these years? I thought they were after the Scott-Tuttons' manual, but now I
see some were after that file. Both invite trouble, of course. If the old lady did hand everything to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKatherine, they would go after her. Perhaps even kill her just to get what they wanted."
He was one of the hunters, but he was different. He wouldn't kill her. All he would do was lock her down
and keep her by his side forever.
Oh, I see. He nodded and asked, "What about you, sir? Are you going to join in? What if they take the
manual from her?"
Jayden wasn't worried at all. Instead, he smiled. "They think they can take it from her? She's capable
enough to topple them. They can never take anything from her. Emmanuel went as far as to poison his
own son to take her stuff, but he will lose." Not even my mercenaries could succeed. No way anyone
else can.
"But the Grays are powerful. Emmanuel won't stop until he gets what he wants." Hansel was still
worried. "You might want to come up with a backup plan."
"No." Jayden was confident. "Emmanuel can't touch Katherine. Besides, Katherine wouldn't take this
lying down. The fact that Emmanuel poisoned his son just to force her to cough up the file just
warranted revenge from Katherine. She's probably doing something as we speak." He narrowed his
eyes more, and his scar wriggled. "Finish up work here and tell Wale to speed up his experiment. We'll
then go back to Kyoland."
Hansel was a little surprised. "But sir, you are still scarred. It's not the best time to show yourself. You
should rest a little more."
The mention of his scar made Jayden freeze, then he shot Hansel a dark look. "You could have not
mentioned that," he barked, the veins on his hand popping. He was still bothered by that, but
fortunately, he had contacted someone to get rid of his scar. If the scars couldn't be erased, it didn't
matter. He would take Katherine one way or the other. Since she made this, she's going to atone for
the rest of her life by staying by my side. "Emmanuel will fall. It's getting messier, and I'm going to use
this situation to my advantage."
Shocked by his look, Hansel quickly nodded. "I'll do it right away."
…
A whole night went by, but there was no response. Morning came, and Katherine knew what had
happened.
Carmine came in looking hurried and apologetic. "Sorry, miss. I've gone through all the black markets,
but none sell H1."
Katherine placed her bottle of medicine down and wiped her hands, looking solemn. "Thanks for your
help." She didn't blame Carmine. H1 wasn't an easy reagent to find.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoaquin was beside her, crossing his arms. He too looked solemn. "What now? Should we call Marcus
and use the lab?"
Katherine nodded. "This is our only avenue. I'll do it. It's much better than waiting for something to
show up." She turned to Carmine. "I'll be leaving for a few days. Corey's poison is weakened, but it
might relapse. I'll be giving you two prescriptions. Feed it to him. The first prescription is to be taken
once every six hours. The second one is just in case. If the poison does relapse, feed it to him. Make
sure you brew one dose every day, for emergencies. It'll help him last a week."
"Of course."
Carmine was about to take the prescriptions, but David took it. "I'll take care of him. I have nothing to
do anyway." He looked solemn, and he had an unspoken question in his eyes.
Katherine knew what he wanted to ask, and she shot him a reassuring look. "I'll do my best. I can save
him."
That was enough for David. He heaved a sigh of relief. Katherine would never lie, after all. Now that
she was so sure about it, he knew she could save Corey sooner or later. And now that she's leaving,
that means Corey at least can hang on until she comes back. We still have time.
Joaquin whispered, "They can take care of things on this end. I'll go with you."
Katherine shook her head. "No. I have something else I need your help with."
