Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1063 Be Careful

The sun was setting, and the surgery for Clement came to an end. Zephyr had injected just enough

anesthetic for Clement to wake up half an hour after the surgery ended.

Raymond had been staying by Clement's side all this time, and he asked anxiously, "So, how do you

feel?"

"Nothing." Clement shook his head. His wound was excruciating before he fainted, and now he felt a lot

better.

"What do you mean, nothing?" Raymond stared at Clement's leg, frowning. "Did you lose feeling in

your whole leg?" He immediately pinched Clement's leg.

Clement inhaled sharply and shot Raymond a glare. "Now I feel something." He gritted his teeth.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I feel I shouldn't have saved you."

Huh.

Zephyr shook his head. "I just administered some painkillers. What do you want him to feel? Agony?"

Raymond shut up. He was worried about Clement largely because he suspected Zephyr, but now

Zephyr proved that he was at least an ethical doctor. He won't mind our attitude. "Thank you," said

Raymond seriously.

Zephyr changed the subject. "I'll hand over the meds he needs to your doctors. All they have to do is

keep an eye on him. Both of you may go now."

"Thank you, Dr. Lorwhal. We'll be going now." Raymond apologized and carried Clement away on his

shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes.

When they were finally gone, Zephyr heaved a sigh of relief and cleaned the place up, but a short while

later, Zephyr heard soft footsteps from behind him. He immediately picked up a used scalpel and flung

it in the direction of the intruder.

The scalpel hit a rack and was buried deep in the door.

Someone clapped. In came a Caucasian man wearing a two-piece suit and a dark green top hat. His

beard was gray, yet his skin was as smooth as a young man's. It was difficult to tell just how old he

was. "I expected no less from Area X's best doctor. You've improved a lot ever since we last met. Soon

you'll be the perfect doctor."

Zephyr narrowed his eyes, a dark light glinting within them. "How did you get in?" He wasn't surprised

to see the intruder. He was Area X's person in charge and his ex-boss-Yosef.

Back when he was in Area X, Yosef promised to lend his services to a group of bloodthirsty b*stards

the moment he showed his talent, and he did so without asking for any permission. Thinking that Yosef

was a sc*m who would do anything for profit, they got into a fight and went their own ways.

Zephyr was one inch from death when he left Area X, but he held on by sheer determination. Once he

was all healed up, he ran around different countries helping those who needed it. Thanks to that, he

gained great fame, and Yosef told everyone he was working for Area X as if their separation had never

happened.

Zephyr never cleared things up. He didn't want to, nor was there a need to.

The overly friendly Yosef sat on the only couch in the room and shrugged. "Smith Co. is nothing once

Alexander is taken out. Nobody even saw me coming in."

"You wish to kill Alexander?" Zephyr saw through Yosef easily.

Yosef's smile disappeared and was replaced by a solemn look. "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. You

either eat or be eaten. I'm doing this for the greater good. If we can take Smith Co. down, then Area X

will have an easier time."

"I'm not interested in your scheme." Zephyr narrowed his eyes, staring at Yosef dangerously. "Matthew

took someone I care about away. Do you know that?"

"Is that so?" Yosef pretended to be surprised. "I had no idea. Is it her? Damn him. How could he do that

to someone so adorable?"

"You know how important she is to me. Matthew had better give her back to me, or I will destroy Area X

and everyone in it. That is a promise." Zephyr spoke calmly, but it was bone-chilling for some reason.

When Yosef met his eyes, he quickly looked away as he felt a bit guilty. Then, he rubbed his chin and

said, "Matthew's just doing this to get back at Alexander. Now that he's sick, all you have to do is take

him down, and I'm sure Matthew will give her back to you safe and sound."

Good. Now he admits that he sanctioned Matthew's actions. Yosef came here today to warn him that

he must kill Alexander soon if he wanted to see that girl alive. Using someone else to do his dirty work

was what Yosef was great at.

"I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to lecture me." Zephyr wasn't bowing down and retorted,

"Don't forget that Smith Co. isn't as weak as you think. The lieutenants and Alexander's brothers aren't

as simple as you think they are. Working with Matthew might be your downfall."

Yosef laughed maniacally. He then got up and patted Zephyr's shoulder. "Oh, I'm sure I'll still stand tall.

After all, I have you helping me."

Zephyr was the one who poisoned Alexander, while Matthew was the one who was threatening them.

Even if they could get to Yosef, all he had to do was make up an excuse, and he would get away easily.

There's nothing to fear.

Zephyr gritted his teeth. "You had better wish she's fine, or else."

Alicia came to Suella's home early the next day. She was going with Suella to take the report, but when

she got there, Suella told her she already had the report, and it proved that Danny was the one who

violated her. Now all they had to do was negotiate.

Alicia went with her. I've come this far.

Ariel and Danny were already waiting for them when they arrived. They took their seats, and Suella

pushed the report over to Danny. "Take a look."

Ariel placed her hand on the report. "No need for that. Thirty million, I take it?"

"Yes. Dollars, of course. Not any other currency," Suella emphasized. She then looked Ariel in the eye.

"I'm sure."

Ariel nodded and flipped through the report, then she looked at Alicia. "Miss Heidelberg, you heard her.

She claims that Danny violated her and demands thirty million from us. Is that your idea?"

Alicia nodded, but then she denied it, "I said she could demand compensation, but I didn't expect it to

be this much. I know it's a lot of money, so there's space to negotiate." Thirty million is indeed a bit too

much.
