352 A Spineless Man is no Different from a Traitor (1/2)
”Shit! The doctors' been trying to rescue Third Elder many times. It seems that Third Elder might not make it through the night!”
”There are not many who live after being sent to the ICU! We should prepare for the worst! Let's send Third Elder off on the path to heaven with all the glory he deserves!”
”Third Elder's condition has never been stable! His sickness has dragged on for over three years! I don't think any human can cure him anymore… I hope he can ascend in peace…”
”Sigh… Master Tian left us… And now Third Elder is going to leave us too… It appears that our faction is fated for ruin…”
...…
Every elite member was very upset; Third Elder was the man they respected the most in their lives. After Murong Tian left, Third Elder was the reason they stayed loyal to their faction.
Things would definitely be starkly different when every elite member went their separate ways after Third Elder passed away.
...
Inside the ICU room.
Several doctors left the room after they did their best to save Third Elder. Only the leading doctor remained in the room.
”Doctor Wong! How is Third Elder?” Gu Caozhuo promptly asked. On the surface, the man was pretending to care about Third Elder – but the truth was far from it.
He was actually looking forward to the death of Third Elder. With him gone, he could now officially assume leadership over the brotherhood.
”We have tried our best to save him… According to the data from our equipment, he can live for another three hours, at best…” Doctor Wong said as he took off his mask and shook his head.
”How could this be?! How…” Despite his tone of disappointment, Gu Caozhuo was rejoicing.
”Third Elder…”
*Sob*
*Sob*
Murong Xiaoyao's eyes were teary. She ran beside Third Elder's bed, held on to Third Elder's arm and started to cry.
”My girl, don't cry… It's okay… Life, death and sickness are all part of our lives…” Third Elder was in complete serenity; he was even trying to console Murong Xiaoyao.
”Third Elder's state of mind is really admirable… Unfortunately, his sickness is so bad that he's beyond salvation. Not even the gods can save him right now…” Doctor Wong sighed heavily.
”F*ck you!” Chen Xiaobei yelled. He had not say a word throughout the whole rescue; only now did he suddenly shouted angrily. ”Wong Shihao! You crook! Stop bull-shitting through your teeth! You're not far from committing murder due to inaction!”
”How… How come you're here?” Wong Shihao had been too busy to notice, but his rage brimmed the moment he saw Chen Xiaobei. He could still remember the recent slapping incident – his fury against Chen was genuine.
