Covenantor (XIV)

Yue Xuan was brought back to the isolation chamber, Madam Chang immediately threw herself beside him, held his face, and tensely asked, “Little Xuan, how are you?”

Yue Xuan looked at Madam Chang with a wooden expression, not saying a word.

Tears flowed from Madam Chang’s eyes as she said with a tremor in her voice, “They really operated on you? Little Xuan, please tell mother it’s not true?”

Yue Xuan still didn’t say a word. His eyes were lifelessly still; like a stagnant pool of water, they held no sense of vitality.

Madam Chang’s heart ached endlessly at the sight, and she screamed like a mad woman to those outside, “Lu Xiufan, you’ve selfishly acted without authority; Yue Family and Chang Family will absolutely seek justice from you!”

Lu Xiufan stood outside the chamber coldly looking at her, his face devoid of any expression.

At that moment, his communication device suddenly rang, the caller seemed to be one of the bodyguards he’d hired for Shang Ke.

After Lu Xiufan answered, he only listened to a couple of words before his expression became especially terrifying. He immediately turned, collecting his guards while emitting an immense killing intent.

While under his protection, Shang Ke had actually encountered such danger! Lu Xiufan’s body tensed, like a hungry animal preparing to bite someone. The surrounding guards were so frightened they didn’t even dare to breathe.

Lu Xiufan jumped into a hover car, and upon searching for Shang Ke’s geolocation, discovering that he’d already driven at high speed towards the outskirts of the city; this speed clearly already exceeded a normal driver’s abilities; a normal person at such speeds would not even be able to endure for a couple hours.

Lu Xiufan’s face grew increasingly dark as he quickly flew towards Shang Ke’s location with his guards.

Though he was driving as fast as he could, it would still took him an hour to catch up.

Ahead of him, Shang Ke’s hover car flew over the surface of the lake in a Z-shape; the car steadily remained three to five meters above the lake. The water in the lake was criss crossed with waves from the speeding car, with a man floating in the center. Lu Xiufan quickly pulled close without any doubt that it was Shang Ke.

However, the fact that a man had been able to escape the car indicated that Shang Ke had already thought of a way to rescue himself.

Lu Xiufan delivered the man from the middle of the lake to the guards, then focused all of his attention on Shang Ke and the hover car he was driving.

At this point, Shang Ke was so dizzy from motion-sickness he didn’t notice Lu Xiufan’s arrival; he could only concentrate on setting the flight trajectory over the lake. He looked all over for a patch of empty space, where he wouldn’t have to worry about running into any obstacles.

He’d originally planned to evacuate the car; however, since Yurian had completely passed out in the back seat, if he evacuated, Yurian would die for sure. Blood seeped out from Shang Ke’s orifices and a splitting headache hammered his mind, he simply could not calm down his mind to properly think.
