Chapter 607 The Exchange
Seeing John kneel, Bruno and the others felt a complex mix of emotions.
They were cultivators, and though they wouldn’t say it aloud, they didn’t really care about the lives of ordinary
people, much like Gali
While they wouldn’t harm the innocent, it didn’t mean they would always save them.
If they were in John’s position, they would never kneel to beg Gali for mercy.
To them, the dignity of a cultivator was worth more than a commoner’s life.
That was why they suddenly respected John.
This handsome and extraordinary young man was totally different from the people they had met at the Alps
Mountain.
Gali, with a wild look on his face, burst out laughing. “Ha-ha! I didn’t expect, John, that you would really kneel! I see
you in a new light, ha-ha!…”
Suddenly, Gali stopped laughing.
His face twisted, and he snarled, “Is this it? You still owe me three kowtows. You’ve only kneeled. It doesn’t
feel sincere enough, King of Horizon?”
“Enough… Stop pushing too far!!”
The people around them clenched their fists in rage upon hearing Gali’s words.
Holbrook roared, “Majesty King, you can’t kowtow! If you do, it will break my heart. How can I face the US people
after this?
Come on, you want to kill me, right? Do it now! If I even blink, I’m not Holbrook!”
Holbrook shouted loudly and struggled violently, trying to impale himself on Jenifer’s sword, but Gali held
him back.

Gali cursed, kicking Holbrook’s knees from behind while holding his neck, making Holbrook’s feet
momentarily leave the ground.
Holbrook’s face instantly turned red.
At his age, he couldn’t withstand such rough treatment.
John’s expression was cold.
John’s rage burning brightly within him, and it turned into a cold glare that he directed at Gali.
He had never wanted to kill someone so much.
When his sisters were in danger, John was also angry, but not like today.
Today, he felt not just anger but humiliation.
Gall was trampling on John’s dignity.
‘John…”
Queenie’s anxious voice suddenly rang out.
From the moment she received Leo’s call, she had been notifying John via their Mind Circle while driving as fast as
she could to Feazer Medical Clinic.
But she was still too late.
She wasn’t as fast as John.
Pushing through the crowd and seeing John kneeling, Queenie’s beautiful face turned cold.
*John, get up quickly…”
Queenie wanted to help John up, but he said in a low voice, “Queenie, don’t worry about me. I can’t let Doctor Davis
get hurt. My dignity is nothing compared to Doctor Davis’s life.”
“Sigh.”
Queenie didn’t know what to say. She just sighed quietly, and her heart was filled with sorrow.
Holbrook, however, shouted loudly, “Ms. Yeats, quickly help Majesty King up! I’m not worth this sacrifice. Death is
nothing to fear!”
Queenie didn’t move.
Gali cursed again, ready to kick Holbrook.
At that moment, John said coldly, “Stop torturing Doctor Davis, and I’ll kowtow!”
John glanced toward the back of Gali, where the Feazer Medical Clinic was. It was now in ruins. According to Leo,
several innocent people had died inside.
Those innocent bystanders were all entangled because of John.
So…
It would be entirely appropriate for John to bow deeply to them in apology.
Thud!
John’s head hit the ground, and he remained there, not lifting his head for some time.
He was repenting!
Gali burst into laughter and taunted, “Ha-ha! See that? This is your King of Horizon, the man you all worship! What’s
he doing? He’s bowing to me, everyone, Ha-ha!”
Such mocking words stung the nerves of the surrounding people deeply.
They were filled with sadness and anger.
But they were also helpless.
Hugh, the alliance director, stepped forward with a stern face, saying, “Dr. Davis is frail and can’t stand this kind of
treatment. If you want a hostage, I can exchange myself for him.”
“Hehe, you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGali squinted at Hugh and then looked at Holbrook in his hands, seeing him panting heavily. Gali then said, “You
make a good point. I haven’t had enough fun yet, and I’m really worried that I might accidentally kill this old man if I
go too hard.”
“So, you agree to the exchange?” Hugh asked.
“I agree, but not with you. I want that beauty over there.” Gali chuckled oddly and pointed at Queenie.
Through the interaction just now, Gali could tell that this stunning beauty had a special relationship with John. If Gali
held her captive, she would certainly be more useful than Holbrook.
What Gali wanted was not just to make John kneel and bow. He wanted John to destroy his own cultivation
base.
And then…
Killed John!
This would have to be done step by step.
Gali wasn’t sure if John would destroy his own cultivation base for Holbrook, but if he had Queenie, the
hostage would definitely be more valuable.
So Gali decided to use Queenie for the exchange.
“I agree!”
To everyone’s surprise, the first one to agree after Gali made this request was Queenie herself.
Even John trembled slightly.
The anger in his chest deepened.
“Ms. Yeats, you… Sigh.”
Holbrook sighed heavily, but saw Queenie already walking toward him, saying coldly, “I’ll be the exchange, now
hurry up and release Dr. Davis!”
What everyone failed to notice was that within Queenie’s delicate body, a terrifying power was awakening.
Even she had not noticed it.
It was a formidable force, triggered by the sight of John’s bowing and the heart-wrenching pain that followed.
