Chapter 721: Who is this Xu Cheng she’s calling in her dream? (Part One)
– Switzerland –
– At the Knights of the Round Table meeting –
Twelve R-class experts sat around the table after the news that a plane bound for Huaxia had successfully landed.
None of them looked too good.
“If that’s the case, then the four devils have failed.”
“I can’t think of why. We fought with those two people during the day; the buff one was a bit tricky with his brute force, but the other one was just good at shooting. Once that person boards the plane, he would be useless without a gun. It’s impossible that the four devils didn’t manage to win against that buff guy, and they even had guns with them. Even if they were afraid of the bullets shattering the window glass, they would still shoot if it was necessary. I can’t figure out which part went wrong.”
“The plan was to have the plane self-destruct and destroy the bodies over international waters, but now that they’ve successfully landed in Huaxia, it means that all of our personnel failed and died!”
“In addition to that, I have another question: if they did kill all four devils and made it back to Huaxia, who was flying the plane?”
“Bring up the surveillance footage at the airport.”
Someone immediately projected the footage and there was no problem at all, but they still couldn’t figure out why the four devils hadn’t been able to take out Chekhov and Mario.
“Do you know anything about that young man from Huaxia?” They redirected their attention to Lin Dong.
“This man is just an ordinary person, he was around when I went to catch this woman, and he didn’t have the slightest chance to fight back,” the guy who pretended to be the pizza delivery man said.
One of the leaders of the Knights said, “Several teachers are very angry about this. Mr. Ge Lie went out and has not come back, whether he is alive or dead is not known. Xu Cheng has not been found as well, and suddenly, things that were within our control have become complicated again. Then there is also that undercover Satan who infiltrated our ranks for more than ten years and now disappeared. Several members of the Demons of Solomon died with him! Intelligence has it that his body was taken away, and we know that this man has some information about the Capital Society on him. If that gets into the hands of the Huaxia government, then it’ll be hard for us to infiltrate in the future. Now, I’m going to announce two hit targets. The first one, Xu Cheng; we don’t know if he’s dead or alive yet, but he will definitely be a thorn in the Capital Society’s side. He knows a lot about the Capital Society and knows some of our future plans, so if this man is alive, we must kill him and see his dead body! Second one, Satan; he’s been undercover in the M Nation 5th Division for sixteen years, and he knows about us through the M Nation security bureau. He has some information on the three heads of the Knights of the Round Table, but fortunately, he doesn’t know that the real Knights are responsible for the attack. However, to eliminate the chance that this information gets exposed, he must also die, and we must see his dead body as well!”
The other eleven knights nodded their heads. “Yes.”
There were originally fourteen of them, and two of them had already been killed by Xu Cheng.
One was on his way to deal with Kush and never returned.
The other one was killed in battle by Xu Cheng when he saw him and Satan were meeting up.
Chapter 721: Who is this Xu Cheng she’s calling in her dream? (Part Two)
– Huaxia –
– Inside the Dragon Division’s secret base hospital –
After a week of observation and treatment, Lin Chuxue had already passed the critical period, but she was still in a coma.
Now that the genetic condition in her body was not suitable for her to be treated in normal hospitals, Xu Cheng could only choose to rely on the nation’s Dragon Division.
The entire medical treatment was kept in secret. Only a skilled professor received Satan’s invitation to participate in the treatment; as a dedicated practitioner, he signed a confidentiality agreement so from now on, he would be responsible for the medical consultation for Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue’s bodies.
Xu Cheng thought about it for a long time before he called Satan’s number.
Xu Cheng stood outside the glass window, looking at Lin Chuxue who was receiving treatment inside the hospital ward.
He was wearing the Dragon King’s cape, and his face was wearing a golden clown mask.
The funny thing was, that from now on, he probably wouldn’t be able to take off this mask in front of others anymore, and he didn’t know how long it would stay with him.
Not long after, Bei Shan pushed Satan here on a wheelchair.
As for Xu Cheng’s body condition, there were only two people in the Dragon Division who knew about it; one was Satan, because his genes had been modified after he was saved by Xu Cheng, and the other one was that professor. Xu Cheng was not going to allow any third party to know about it.
“If you had listened to my advice, you wouldn’t be in this situation now.” Satan sighed, expressing sympathy for the fact that Xu Cheng could only wear a mask in the future.
Xu Cheng snorted. “Wouldn’t this be what you wished for? It might be hard for me to cross paths with her in the future.”
Bei Shan came over and patted Xu Cheng’s shoulder. “I’m glad that you can return to the Dragon Division.”
Xu Cheng didn’t speak up as he didn’t know whether he should be happy or not. He felt that his heart had died anyways.
After the professor came out from the ward, he said to Xu Cheng. “There’s a gradual reaction in her subconscious mind, and I’m guessing that in one or two days, she will wake up.”
Xu Cheng: “Then have her transferred to another hospital. This is the Dragon Division’s basecamp, she can’t stay here for too long.”
The professor nodded. “Oh, right. During this week of observation and treatment, she called out ‘Xu Cheng’ a total of 81 times in her sleep. Do you know this person? If you know him, having him come over and talk to the patient more may help her wake up faster.”
A moment of confusion flashed in Xu Cheng’s eyes.
His name had been withdrawn from the Dragon Division because Xu Cheng’s name had now been exposed to the world. Therefore, his name was no longer ‘Xu Cheng’, and only his code name remained: the 2 of Diamonds!
The professor also did not know that his original name was Xu Cheng.
“I don’t know him.” Xu Cheng said indifferently.
“Well this person must be someone very important to her.” The doctor nodded thoughtfully and walked away.
Bei Shan looked inside the hospital room and said to Xu Cheng, “Go in and talk to her so she can wake up earlier.”
Satan disagreed with him, or rather, he wanted Xu Cheng to end his romantic relationship. “Aren’t you afraid that she will see you like this when she wakes up? By then you will deny that you’re Xu Cheng, but your voice would betray you. Do you want her to see you like this?”
He was right, the doctor had also said that Lin Chuxue might wake up at any time, but he was also afraid that she would never wake up.
“Forget it, let’s transfer her to the hospital tomorrow.” Xu Cheng looked at Lin Chuxue in the hospital ward deeply before he left.
– At night –
The ward was equipped with a temperature sensor device, and Satan was in the monitoring room when he saw Xu Cheng enter while invisible. He saw an infrared image of a person from the monitor and he sighed. “I knew that you brat would come and talk to her.”
Within the monitor screen.
Xu Cheng locked the door to the hospital ward, and sat down on the edge of Lin Chuxue’s bed as he reached out his hand and held hers
