Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Dragon King Wesley arrived later than the rest. However, as soon as he arrived and saw Jonathan, he was scared.

Jonathan had been sitting silently on one side. He then tried to call Amber and Polly. He was asking them for a favor to look for suitable bone marrow for Winnie since they had a wide range of contacts.

Wesley’s bone marrow was not suitable after checking his blood.

In fact, they had checked all the other relatives’ blood too. However, none of them matched Winnie’s.

There was no matching bone marrow found even when the hospitals tried to search online.

Inside Winnie’s ward, all her relatives looked sad.

Jennifer went completely silent as if she had gone mad. She would cry and zone out from time to time.

Jonathan and Jennifer’s relatives didn’t know each other. Therefore, he could only watch from a distance. No one dared to talk to him. With that, no one asked about his relationship with Jennifer too.

In the evening, Amber, Polly, Jessica, and Yasmin went to visit Jennifer together. Although their relationship with Jennifer was not close, they were friends after all. Besides, they had a close relationship with Jonathan. Hence, they had to pay a visit no matter what.

They went to greet Jonathan first. However, the latter was so gloomy that he didn’t talk much.

After putting down the fruit basket, Amber and the rest had no choice but to leave. Jennifer didn’t wish to talk to anyone, and no one could persuade her.

Outside the ward, Amber said to Jonathan, “I’ve asked my friend to look for suitable bone marrow as what you’ve requested, but it’s difficult to find it. Moreover, time is too tight. So be prepared.”

In fact, Jonathan was prepared. He had no choice but sigh. “All right. Try your best, and we’ll see how it goes.”

The night passed by quickly.

Jonathan stayed in the hospital all night, and Jennifer didn’t eat or sleep. She just sat by Winnie’s bed.

However, the little girl had not shown any signs of waking up yet.

Jennifer’s parents were drenched in tears too.

As for the other relatives, some left, and some came again after taking a rest.

After all, Jennifer was a successful woman now. Hence, all her relatives wanted to curry favor with her.

Just like that, the day passed by quickly.

Winnie’s condition deteriorated, and she was sent to the emergency room again in the evening.

Three hours later, Dr. Langdon came out and said, “If we can’t find a bone marrow match and perform a transplant by tomorrow, we might lose Winnie.”

Jennifer fainted as soon as he finished speaking.

On the other hand, even Jonathan was helpless in a situation like that.

Suddenly, he received a call in the early morning. It was a call from a stranger.

However, Jonathan was not surprised by that. He didn’t think much and answered the call.

“We have the bone marrow match that you’re looking for. Come to King’s Club if you’re interested,” the stranger said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up.

Jonathan was stunned. He felt that the call was uncanny.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t think of any conspiracy behind the call. He had never thought Winnie’s condition could be a scheme from someone. Perhaps people find out and want to benefit from it?

Anyway, Jonathan was still full of hope. He quickly left the hospital.

As soon as he got in the car, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew it was a crucial time for him at the moment. Although Strikezone Martial Arts respected Arthur, it didn’t mean they would let them off. What if they have other bad intentions? I can’t rule out if Winnie’s condition has nothing to do with them.

As soon as Jonathan thought of that, he had to be extra careful. Therefore, he made a call to Amber.

The latter felt something was peculiar too when she heard that. She then asked Jonathan to wait for her.

However, as soon as Jonathan hung up, he couldn’t help but feel amused. It was as if Amber was his armor due to her special identity.

I’m lucky to have known her. Otherwise, I would be dead by now.

Ten minutes later, Amber arrived in a car. Immediately, Jonathan got into her car, and they drove to King’s Club.

Amber was wearing her blue police uniform, and she looked valiant. In fact, she looked more mature than before.

During the journey, they didn’t talk much. However, the atmosphere was not awkward at all.

They had experienced countless life and death situations together, and they didn’t need to talk much when they were together.

While driving, Amber asked, “Do you think Strikezone Martial Arts has something to do with this matter?”

Jonathan shook his head. “I don’t think so. I don’t think Winnie’s condition is related to Strikezone Martial Arts. Perhaps, they just want to benefit from it. But still, we need to be careful.”

Amber nodded. “Strikezone Martial Arts is horrible if they were the one behind this.”

“There’s nothing they won’t do.” Jonathan couldn’t help but smile in disdain.

Twenty minutes later, they stopped in front of King’s Club. After parking the vehicle, they got out of the car together.

The door to King’s Club was closed. Nonetheless, the light in front of the door was still on.

A man in a black suit stood in front of the door.

Jonathan took a glance at the man. Immediately, he knew he was only an ordinary cultivator with External Force. Promptly, he introduced himself, “I’m Jonathan Larson.”

The man breathed a sigh of relief and replied, “Dragon King has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in.” Then, he turned to open the door. Upon hearing that, both Jonathan and Amber were stunned. They had heard about Dragon King before.

He was the underground leader of Horington.

Jonathan’s heart sank. If that’s the case, Dragon King is not after money.

Nonetheless, as soon as the door opened, the lights in the room shone to them brightly.

Amber wanted to follow Jonathan in. However, the man in black frowned as soon as he saw her. “Dragon King is meeting Mr.

Lawson only. You can’t go in.”

“What? Dragon King is so arrogant. Do you know who I am? Tell him I’m Amber Johnson. Ask him again if I can come in,” Amber couldn’t help but sneer.

Upon hearing that, the man frowned and stared at her. She’s blunt and aggressive! Moreover, Amber was in her police uniform, which made him a little scared. He didn’t dare to make any rash decisions. “Please wait for a moment,” he replied. After that, he took out his walkie-talkie and mumbled into the device.

After a while, the man came back to them and said, “Please, come in with me.”

Hearing that, Amber couldn’t help but snort. “That’s more like it!”

The man didn’t dare to refute back. Jonathan wanted to laugh. It was a pleasure to see Amber’s attitude. Everyone was scared of her whenever she went. In fact, even the underground circle feared her.

Inside King’s Club, the man led Jonathan and Amber through the corridor before arriving at a cafe.

The floor of the cafe was carpeted with gold carpet, and it looked splendorous. Nonetheless, the lighting was soft.

As soon as Jonathan and Amber arrived, they saw Dragon King sitting on the couch.

Dragon King was a man over sixty years old. His hair was gray, and he was wearing a suit. Although he was in his sixties, he was full of vigor, and his face was bright.

Two bodyguards stood beside Dragon King. They were dressed in black shirts and had short hair. They stood like sculptures, giving a sense of deterrence. Jonathan couldn’t help but take a glance. He found that the two bodyguards were cultivators with Neutralizing Forces.

Not only that, a man in his fifties named Thomas Houghton sat beside Dragon King. Thomas was dressed in white. He was Dragon King’s most trusted man and advisor.

In fact, he was a Nascent Soul fighter. However, he was more like a friend to Dragon King now.

On the coffee table that was in front of Dragon King, a beautiful lady in a gown was brewing coffee. She looked pretty and elegant.

As soon as Jonathan and Amber entered, Dragon King and Thomas stood up at once. Dragon King welcomed them with a smile.

“I didn’t expect to see Ms. Johnson at such a late hour. Otherwise, I would have sent someone to pick you up.”

“Dragon King, you sound like you’re not welcoming me!” Amber responded with a smirk.

“Of course not! It’s my honor to have you here,” replied Dragon King with a smile again.

“Thank you! Then it’s my honor to be here too!” Amber replied.

Seeing that, Jonathan came forward too. He greeted Dragon King at once, “Greetings, Dragon King.”

The latter stared at Jonathan and flashed him a warm smile. He patted Jonathan on the shoulder and replied, “Mr. Lawson is so young and talented. I have heard about your name for a long time.”

Hearing that, Jonathan quickly answered, “Pardon me for my lack of manners. I should have come to visit you earlier.”

Nonetheless, Dragon King just laughed when he heard that. He invited them in and said, “Mr. Lawson and Ms. Johnson, please have a seat.”

With that, Jonathan and Amber took their seats opposite him.

The pretty lady in a gown proceeded to serve coffee to everyone.

Jonathan was concerned about Winnie, and he asked directly, “Dragon King, you told me you have the bone marrow match for Winnie. May I know...”

However, as soon as Dragon King heard him, his smile faded away, and it seemed that his body was quivering.

Both Jonathan and Amber looked at Dragon King nervously.

However, Dragon King didn’t speak. Instead, he turned to Thomas and said, “Thomas, why don’t you tell them?”

Thomas nodded. “Sure. Indeed, we have the bone marrow match for Winnie, and she could take it for transplant at any time.”

Hearing that, Jonathan and Amber were overjoyed.

“Dragon King, please help us. Winnie is just a kid. Saving one life is like saving the entire world. We will remember your kindness if you help us!” Amber said.

Nonetheless, Dragon King lowered his head to take a sip of coffee silently.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was strange.

Jonathan and Amber looked at each other and felt as if something terrible was about to happen.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Johnson, we would like to offer help to Winnie too. But you must sign this first,” Thomas replied. Then he turned to the bodyguards behind him and instructed, “Bring it over!”

Immediately, the bodyguard took out a document from behind.

After that, Thomas handed the document to Jonathan.

Jonathan and Amber were dumbfounded. However, the former still reached out his hand to receive the document.
