Chapter 867 Robbing Others and Acting So Bold?
St. Joshua Hospital was a major medical facility under the Delgado Enterprise, ranked among the top three in Plemouth. Ferell opened the door to the intensive care unit.
The bright white lights cast a stark glow over the room, revealing an empty, lifeless hospital bed.
On that bed, a middle-aged many, his body trembling slightly.
It seemed as though some unseen force stirred within him, causing his tightly shut eyelids to flicker open.
"Spike, it''s me, Jack. Master Ramsey and I are here to take you home!"
Jack rushed to the bed and gently grasped Spike''s trembling hand, lifting it with care.
Once a hand thatmanded authority and respect, having struck fear into many and secured countless victories that brought peace, it was now frail, powerless, and cold. Jack''s eyes glistened as he held back tears.
Twenty years ago, he had left without a word.
Back then, Spike had been a major general-a strong, determined warrior, as solid as rock.
Now, he was weak, aged, and fragile, like old, rotting wood.
"Jack...
Spike''s pale lips barely moved as he tried to speak.
This man, one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul, known for his unmatched resilience, could not form a full sentence.
Tears of helplessness welled in Jack''s eyes.
"Spike, Master Ramsey came to see you. You''re going to be alright."
Robin took a white handkerchief from Ferell and gently wiped the tears from Spike''s face.
""Let me see!"
Spike''s eyes flickered, a glimmer of recognition shining in them as he locked onto Robin''s face.
Suddenly, his frail body shook violently. "M-Master Ramsey ..."
Robin nodded reassuringly. "Don''t speak, and don''t get too excited. You''ll be fine. I''ll make sure of it!"
After a brief pause, Spike''s eyes calmed, though the sorrow in them remained, almost enough to bring Robin to tears.
Robin seemed to understand, gently patting Spike''s hand. "I''ve sent someone to find your daughter, Rylee. She''s still alive."
Just as Robin was about to take out the silver needles to treat Spike, a loud crash broke the silence of the
The sound of a ss bottle shattering echoed through the room.
Robin turned to see a woman in her forties standing in the doorway, visibly shaken.
Her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at Jack and Robin.
Although her hair had grayed and her face was etched with sorrow, she still carried an air of grace and nobility. "Y-you''re....
"Mrs. Delgado!" Jack immediately stood and walked toward the woman.
The neer was none other than Spike''s wife, Lucinda.
"General Grayson... wh-what''s going on?" Lucinda''s voice trembled, her eyes filling with tears.
Jack nodded. "Mrs. Delgado, please don''t be upset. We know everything.
"This is Master Ramsey. He''s here to see General Delgado!"
Lucinda was momentarily stunned, her gaze sweeping over Robin in disbelief. Then, tears poured down her face, and she bowed. "I-it''s an honor, Master Ramsey ...
"Mrs. Delgado, please, get up," Robin said, gently straightening her. "I''ve heard about your situation.
"The Delgados'' affairs are the Dragon Pce''s concern! I''ll make sure Dixon and Cravens give you an exnation!
"Please rest for now. I''ll check on General Delgado. He will be fine."
Jack added, "Mrs. Delgado, Master Ramsey''s medical skills are second to none. Spike will be alright."
Lucinda could no longer hold back her grief and began to quietly sob.
Robin observed the Delgados'' suffering with a heavy heart, feeling as if a dagger had pierced his heart.
"Hey, hey, hey... I was just waiting outside the pharmacy for you. How did you end up here so fast, woman!"
A man in his thirties stormed into the ICU, followed by four burly bodyguards. "You think you can avoid me and get away with it?
"Lucinda, I''m telling you, the paperwork will be done today, whether you like it or not!
"Ms. Lily has already decided years ago that she wants the Delgados'' beachside vi.
"Now that the Delgados are finished, you still want to keep it? Are you looking for trouble?"
He mmed a set of documents onto the table. "Here are the title transfer documents and the free transfer agreement. You''ve signed these. Tomorrow, you''lle with us to finalize everything
Lucinda wiped her tears and stood up, her anger ring "You''re shameless!
"This vi was meant for iny daughter, Rylee. I won''t give it to you. No matter how much money you offer, I won''t agree!"
The man sneered and pointed a finger at her.
"Old woman, do you think you''re still
the proud Ms. Powers from back in the day? Wake up! Delgado Enterprise is finished. Even if you refuse the transfer, the Cravens can still use their influence in Plemouth to get the vi"
He flopped down on the couch and scoffed, "What can you do? This is the way the world works.
"Only power, status, and authority matter.
"Delgado Enterprise is finished! Now, anyone can walk all over you. Hahaha...
"You''re going too far!" Lucinda trembled with rage.
"We''re going to bully you old, weak, and sick people, and there''s nothing you can do about it! Hahaha ...
"Listen, the Cravens aren''t just taking the vi; we won''t pay a dime for it!"
"Oh? Does the Cravens think they can get away with this?" Robin stepped forward, positioning himself between Lucinda and the man. His eyes were cold as he red at him. "Master Ramsey ... "Lucinda bowed in apology. "I''m sorry to trouble you.
"Mrs. Delgado, please sit down. L''et Master Ramsey handle this." Jack gently guided Lucinda to a chair beside the bed.
Only then did the man notice the two strangers in the room. "Kid, let me tell you, I''m Rafael Anderson, the legal representative for the Cravens!
"Ms. Lily wants that beachside vi, and it belongs to us!
"And Ms. Craven ns to move in tomorrow!"
"Is that so? Plemouth is home to such shameless people? Robbing others and still acting so bold?" Robin wiped his hands with a wet tissue, his expression grim.
Each time he had to hurt or kill someone, he felt an obsessive need to cleanse himself.
Killing such people disgusted him.
Rafael froze, thenughed. "In
Plemouth, the Cravens do whatever they want! Kid, do you know? Jove stepping on people! Especially when they''re like wounded tigers, ...
hahaha
Ignoring Robin, Rafael waved to the two men behind him. "Go on, get Spike''s and this old woman''s fingerprints. Finish this quickly, and let''s get some rest!
Thud. Thud.
Heavy footsteps approached.
Ferell entered the ICU. "Master Ramsey, Captain Karter of Plemouth''s defense force requests to see you!"
"Let him in!" Robin''s voice was calm, but firm.
Ferell turned and left.
Momentster, four tall bodyguards in clothes quickly positioned themselves on either side of the door.
A middle-aged man in a ck suit walked solemnly toward Robin''s side.
He was none other than Karter Lynch, the highest-ranking officer in Plemouth''s defense force.
"I''m Captain Karter Lynch of Plemouth''s defense force. It''s an honor to meet you, Master Ramsey!"
