When he met Jade Benmore again, it was no longer in the previous conference room but in a ward.
After the pants on Jadeâs injury had been torn off, she had not put on something else. At this moment, it
was placed on the bed and displayed in front of Alex.
When Alex saw the leg, he was stunned.
âA pure black manâs leg was not a big deal, right?â
If he had not taken a closer look, the leg would have looked like burnt charcoal.
Jade looked at Alex and said, âIâve hit you just now, but I wonât apologize for it because you deserved to
be beaten!â
Alex touched his nose.
The woman was already in such a state, yet she was still so headstrong. It could be imagined that she
would be even more headstrong when her leg was fine.
âItâs okay. The truth will speak for itself.â Alex said.
Jadeâs eyebrows twitched. âAre you still unwilling to submit? Let me tell you then, Luna Flores is my
niece, and her father has saved my life three times. Now youâre two-timing someone. How is that
reasonable?â
Just then, Nora at the side whispered something in Jadeâs ear.
Jadeâs beautiful eyes immediately widened. âReally?â
Nora said with a smile, âShe has a personality of a little devil. Itâs tough to tell, mainly because sheâs not
interested in that man.â
Alex looked at Nora with gratitude. It seemed that the little bribery earlier had worked wonders.
Half an hour ago, not only did Alex find out Noraâs age and her relationship problem with men, but he
discovered an embarrassing illness as well. He even promised her that he would cure her within a
week.
At this moment, Jade did not talk about Lunaâs matter anymore after hearing Noraâs words. Instead,
she asked, âWhat do you think of my leg? As long as you can cure it, the reward for you wonât be less.â
Alex said, âCommander Benmore, you serve the nation and its people. Youâve filled me with deep
respect. I have to cure you. Thereâs no need to mention the reward!â
âFine, then I wonât give it to you.â
ââ¦â
Alex was taken aback. âD*mn, I was just polite. Youâre a big shot. Youâll still have more fortune than me
even if you were to spare a tiny bit of it casually. Youâre too stingy.â
He regretfully said, âI need to check your pulse!â
Jade had seen Alexâs expression.
âHumph, brat, youâre trying to play this kind of trick on me? Youâre still a bit amateur.â
Jade stretched out her arm and allowed Alex to check her pulse.
To Alexâs surprise, when he used the spiritual power of the Ultimate Book of Medicine to scan Jade, her
body had a force of automated defense that devoured his little spiritual power right away.
Alex was speechless.
âThis is too strong. But, how can I check her?â
âJust check the pulse. That tiny bit of spiritual power of yours wonât be able to rush into my body
because my circumstances are special, and my cultivation base is different from others. Iâll devour as
much spiritual power as you let in,â Jade explained.
Alex said, âAlright! I need to take a look at your injured leg!â
In other words, Jade needed to expose the dark parts fully. This was a norm as well.
If the doctor did not take a look at it, how would he cure her?
As Jade waved her hand, Nora walked out of the room and casually closed the door.
Jade readily took off the entire pants, wearing only the underwear. Comparing both legs, one leg was
as dark as charcoal, whereas the other was as fair as a floodlight. There was a distinct black and white
line of demarcation and even a wave of fluctuating energy near the hip on her injured leg.
Clearly, Jade had controlled the toxin up to this position.
Alex stretched his arm to touch her injured leg and found that it was very hard. It felt as if he was
handling a stone. He then touched her intact leg again. This one was normal with a smooth and elastic
tactile sensation.
âHow does it feel?â
âYouâve taken a look and touched it now. If you canât cure it, I might gouge your eyes.â
Alex grunted with an âah!â in response.
