âMr. Jaber, you⦠Are you sure this pair of mechanical-eyeballs can restore Stuartâs vision?â Roland looked at Haylan, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Haylan shook his head and said. âThis is Mapleturz Groupâs latest research. Previously, clinical trials were successful, but the exact results still vary from person to person. Iâm not too sure.
âSo letâs wait and see.â
When Roland heard this, his heart sank slightly.
If even Haylan wasnât very clear, then wouldnât there be little hope?
In the next second. Roland was overjoyed. His heart was filled with anticipation as Roland stared at Stuart and encouraged, âStuart, you have to hang in there. Everything will be fine.â
Haylan said that the clinical trial was successful, which meant that the hope was especially high.
As long as Stuart held on, it meant that there was hope for him to see the light again.
Stuart gritted his teeth. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he was drenched in sweat. His entire body was trembling violently.
It was obvious that the implantation of the mechanical eyeballs was not a little painful as Xander had said. Instead, it was extremely painful.
âBear with it. This little pain is nothing. As long as you bear with it, you will be able to see,â Xander said calmly. Xander held Stuartâs hand and could feel how much pain Stuart was in.
When a person was in intense pain, they would not be able to control their hands. Their hands would go to get the things that caused them pain.
Without Xanderâs control, Stuart would probably have pulled out the mechanical eyeball.
Just like that, it lasted for five minutes before Stuartâs trembling stopped, and his fists completely relaxed.
âDone.â Xander smiled and immediately let go of Stuart.
Stuart fell to the ground and panted heavily. His entire body was drenched in sweat as if he had been fished out of the sea.
Stuartâs mechanical eyes were tightly shut. He did not open them at all as if he had fallen into a coma and could not wake up at all.
Stuart could even see blue lights flashing under his eyes.
âStuart, are⦠are you alright?â
Roland, John, and the other two veterans quickly rushed over and helped Stuart up. Their eyes were nervous as they sized Stuart up and down.
Roland even looked at Haylan with nervous and worried eyes.
âDonât be nervous. Heâs just unconscious. The mechanical eyeballs have been successfully implanted and are being activated and optimized. Heâll be fine in about five minutes,â Haylan said calmly.
Haylan was not very familiar with the mechanical eyeballs, but he had already used Godâs Eye to check Stuartâs situation.
Currently, all of Stuartâs physical skills were normal. Only the mechanical eyeballs in his eye sockets were moving. His life was not in danger at all.
Five minutes later, Stuart woke up and moved his limbs.
Roland and the others quickly helped Stuart up and asked caringly, âStuart, how are you? Are you alright?â
âTin fine!â
Stuart shook his head and tried to open his eyes to look around.
The mechanical eyes emitted a blue light and looked especially strange as if Stuart was not human Stuart, can you see?â Roland asked.
John, Sam, and Ben also looked at Stuartâs mechanical eyeballs and did not move.
Under their gazes, Stuartâs eyeballs were moving up, down, left, right.
âI saw it! I really saw it!â
Stuart looked around, then lowered his head to look at his hands. Then, he looked at Roland and the others. He wat extremely surprised. He jumped up excitedly and laughed. âRoland, I really saw it!â
In Stuartâs vision, everything was not so clear, but he could clearly see Roland and the others in front of him.
Stuart could see light, hands, the surrounding scenery, red flames, blue sky, white clouds, and green treesâ¦
âI can see again. Now I donât have to die.â
Stuart was so excited that he spun on the spot. Then, he came in front of Haylan and shook his hand enthusiastically. âMr. Jaber, thank you so much. Youâre my benefactor.â
âPlease accept my thank!â
After saying that, Stuart knelt down with a plop, wanting to kneel down and kowtow to Haylan.
âThank you, Mr. Jaber, for saving us!â
Roland, John, and the others immediately came back to their senses. They went to Haylanâs side and knelt down at once.
âNo, no, no. All of you, get up and talk.â
Haylan frowned slightly and immediately helped them up. âYouâve sacrificed so much to protect our country. As a Longhard Kingdom citizen, how can I sit back and do nothing?
âWe complement each other. Iâm only helping you as a token of my appreciation.
âYou donât have to do this.â
The five of them still wanted to kneel. Helpless, Haylan could only activate vital energy to lift them up so that they could not kneel âWellâ¦â
When Roland and the others sensed this force, their expressions changed drastically. They looked at Haylan with shock and disbelief.
They originally thought that Haylan was just an ordinary person. They never expected Haylan to be so strong.
Haylan could even use an invisible force to hold all five of them up. He was not an ordinary general-
class expert!
âAlright, stop being so long-winded. As men, donât kneel so easily. Get up immediately and donât bother Mr. Jaber,â Xander said in a low voice.
âXander, how can you say that? You are so rude!â Haylan glared at Xander.
*Roland, to be honest, weâre all adults. You can just keep this kindness in your hearts and find an opportunity to repay Mr. Jaber in the future. Why are you kneeling in the street now?â
Xander picked his nose and said, âWhy donât you take a look? There are many people watching us.
âBesides, the owner of the breakfast restaurant still has to do business. Itâs very troublesome for us to block the road like this.
âThis is no longer the ancient society of the past. Can you not kneel so easily?â
At that, Haylan, Roland, Glenn, Vince, Dimitry, and Stuart couldnât help but roll their eyes.
However, Xander was right. They were indeed hindering others from doing business here.
Hence, they all stood up and prepared to leave.
âHindering others? Hehe, of course, you will hinder others!â
At this moment, a young man in armor, slicked back hair, and a fair face appeared in front of them.
He stared coldly at Haylan, Roland, and the others.
When Roland and the others saw this person, their expressions changed drastically The young manâs gaze finally landed on Haylan. His eyes were unfriendly as he said coldly, âYoung man, who approved you to help them?â
