Chapter 388


    At the military hospital of the Southern ins…


    Henry was immediately wheeled into the operation room.


    James personally conducted aprehensive examination on him.


    His bones throughout his body were shattered. In addition to that, the tendons on his arms and legs


    were barely hanging on. He also suffered a heavy blow to his head and had a severe case of cerebral


    concussion as well as serious cranial nerve damage. To make things worse, there was also a gunshot


    wound.


    He was only alive because of James’ silver needle. Otherwise, he’d have been long dead.


    His current prognosis was extremely grim. Even if James was a genius doctor, patching up his wounds


    would be no simple task.


    At least that was all he had to deal with now…


    Now that James was in a safe environment, he would be fully able to concentrate on treating Henry.


    As long as he was still breathing, it was still possible to save his life.


    “Prep for surgery!”


    James began the operation by addressing Henry’s shattered bones.


    As Henry’s injuries were grave, the operation took a long time.


    The operationsted more than twenty hours. It began in the morning and was onlypleted by


    nighttime the next day.


    Although the operation wasplete, Henry was not out of the woods just yet. James would have to


    stay by Henry’s side to provide acupuncture treatment, inspect his body condition, and prescribe


    medicine for him for the next ten days.


    He walked out of the operation room.


    Since the incident at Mt. Thunder Pass up to this point, he had been awake for two days so far.


    Having to be constantly on high alert and inbat mode on Mt. Thunder, James was running on

    fumes.


    Afterpleting the operation, he was exhausted.


    Many generals of the Southern ins gathered outside the operation room.


    “General…”


    Upon seeing James, they saluted him.


    James lightly waved and said weakly, “These are extraordinary times. Save the formalities forter.”


    Levi said, “We’ve taken the enemy generals prisoner and brought them back here. Their respective


    nations are now applying pressure to Sol, demanding that we release them.”


    “Release them?”


    James narrowed his eyebrows and scowled.


    “Not a chance in hell! In ordance with past agreements, demand them to pay the ransom. By the


    way, increase the ransom tenfold.”


    “News of the battle of Mt. Thunder Pass has spread throughout the world, and the international


    ransom?”


    “Just do as I say.”


    James sat on a chair in the corridor outside the operation room. He reflexively reached for his


    cigarettes but found nothing.


    Levi promptly handed James a cigarette and lit it.


    He asked, “By the way, how’s the ck Shadow General?”


    James leaned on the chair and took a deep breath, “He won’t die as long as I’m here. By the way, with


    all thatmotion at Mt. Thunder Pass, did you not receive any word from the higher-ups?”


    Levi shook his head, “Nope.”


    “Huh…”


    James nodded and said, “That’s good then. Just do as I say and demand ten times the usual amount of


    ransom. Hand the original sum over to the National Treasury and transfer the rest to my bank ount.


    I’m tired now. I’m going to rest for a bit. Watch Henry’s condition closely. Wake me up if anything


    happens.”


    Levi nodded, “Understood.”


    James stood up and headed toward the military hospital’s lounge.


    He stopped after walking a few steps and looked back, “Buy me a new phone too and get me a new


    SIM card while you’re at it.”


    He turned to leave after he said that.


    He was dead tired. All he wanted now was rest.


    As Henry was still in an unstable condition, the next ten days would be critical. James would have to


    perform acupuncture treatment on Henry regrly to keep him alive. Then, he’d have to prescribe


    medicine and use them to elerate the repair of his shattered bones and restore the normal functions


    of his organs.


    News of the battle of Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern ins had spread throughout the world.


    The inte was full of posts about the battle.


    “The ck Dragon fought the twenty-eight fighters of the twenty-eight nation Alliance at Mt. Thunder


    Pass in the Southern ins!”


    “The twenty-eight fighters met their doom at Mt. Thunder Pass!”


    “The twenty-eight nation Alliance mobilized a hundred-thousand-strong army and pursued the ck


    Dragon at Mt. Thunder Pass!”


    “They fought for a whole night. Breaking through the encirclement of the hundred-thousand-strong


    army, the ck Dragon made his way into the enemy’s centralmand and took all the enemy’s


    generals prisoner!”


    “The ck Dragon of the Southern ins is the sole guardian of Sol!”


    “Though the ck Dragon’s no longer a general, he’ll always be the God of War of Sol and the hero in


    my heart!”


    Posts covering the battle emerged in an endless stream.


    Meanwhile, at the Cahans…


    Thea remained home for the past two days.


    She was very concerned about all things regarding the ck Dragon.


    She had been to military forums but found nothing but rumors. No one had real-life footage of the


    battle. As such, she began to doubt that the battle had taken ce.


    “Why would he return to the Southern ins?”


    “David?”


    Thea turned to look at David.
