Chapter 1489 Oliver, The Jade King
“No,” Abel replied. “He had a scarf wrapped around half of his face. That side felt strange to me, but Ididn’t think much of it.”
“Then, please tell us about that day, Tobias said, his anticipation evident in his expression.
“On that day, I won a bet against Oliver, the Jade King.” Abel explained. “So, I instructed the nearbyjade craftsman, Mr. Hogan Mack, to cut a bracelet out of that piece of jade and engrave two smallcharacters on the inside…”
“What are the two characters?” Hogan asked..
Abel retrieved the delivery record book, tore out a page, and inscribed “Emmeline Louise” beforepassing it to Hogan. He pocketed the stone, collected the thirty thousand gambling capital from Oliver,and followed Hogan to the workshop. It was already midnight by the time they arrived. Finally, theexquisite jade bracelet was finished, with the characters “Emmeline Louise” engraved on the inside.
Hogan mentioned that the remaining stones could be worth millions. Abel was skeptical, so he leftHogan’s workshop with the stone in his pocket.
The cold November wind pierced through the northwest air, causing Abel’s cars to freeze. He pulled upthe collar of his coat and walked along the uneven, bumpy street, under the dim streetlights, back tothe small hotel a mile away.
Meanwhile, it was Luca’s first time driving a pickup truck for a sales trip. He was so exhausted. that hehadn’t left the hotel all day.
As Abel walked, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him. On such a deserted. and coldnight, there were no pedestrians on the street beside him. He could tell someone was tailing him from
behind. So, he tightened his fist, crossed it in front of his chest, holding a fortune worth millions, or sothey said. He took a few quick pulls of his cigarette, wrapped his coat tighter, and continued walking.
Two shadows suddenly pounced on him from behind, and Abel was already stabbed in the back. Hequickly turned around and kicked backward. His kick knocked the assailant’s dagger off course,stabbing into the person’s thigh. The person let out a painful cry and fell to the ground.
The other person was startled and exclaimed, “Mike!”
Abel turned around and asked, “How is he?”
“You don’t need to worry!” The person pushed Abel away.
Upon closer inspection, Abel realized that the person had a distinctive appearance–it was Oliver theJade King!
Just then, another person rushed out from the alley. This person wore a large mask and swung a knifetoward Oliver’s neck. Secing the situation, Abel immediately understood the person intended to killOliver. Abel thought to himself that he couldn’t let anything significant happen; otherwise, he would bein trouble.
Abel quickly threw a punch and helped Oliver fend off the assailant. Following Abel’s punch, he forcedthe assailant back to the wall, then swiftly reached out and grabbed his mask. The assailant turned hishead to the side, avoiding the mask being grabbed, but Abel pulled off a necklace cord around hisneck.
Oliver rushed over and also tried to grab the assailant’s mask. However, the assailant didn’t dare tofight back and quickly ran into an alley.
In the meantime, Mike, who had been stabbed, weakly called out, “Dad!”
Enduring the pain in his back, Abel said to Oliver, “Quick! Take him to the hospital!”
Oliver asked, “What did you grab from that person’s neck just now?”
Abel frowned, not expecting Oliver to be concerned about this at such a time. “I didn’t pay attention andthrew it on the ground!”
Oliver lowered his head to search for it, but Mike groaned, “Dad, I’m afraid… I can’t make it…”
Oliver bent down and lifted his son, saying to Abel, “Find that object you just grabbed, and keep it!”Then, he quickly left with his injured son in his arms.
Enduring the pain, Abel squatted down and searched for the small object he dropped in the dim light ofthe street lamp. Finally, he found it by the roadside ditch. It was a red necklace cord with a small jadefish carved on it. He picked up the pendant and carefully it in hisnovelbin
Put pocket. He knew that this object was the only evidence pointing to the assailant who launched theattack. It was also the witness object of Abel being ambushed by Oliver since it seemed that therewould be a loss of life that night.
The blood from his shoulder soaked through his coat, warm and flowing down to his waist.Remembering that he had seen a hospital in this county town, Abel determined the direction. andhurried toward the hospital.
The hospital was only as big as two houses, and the doctor on duty was busy in the emergency room.The door of the emergency room was open, and Abel was surprised to see the tall and sturdy figure ofOliver. His handsome profile made Abel pause, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. Theteenager who was accidentally stabbed in the thigh was lying on the emergency bed.
Oliver urgently exclaimed, “My son’s major artery is injured… Doctor, please, he needs a bloodtransfusion!”
The doctor shook his head. “We can’t do a blood transfusion here. Go to the county hospital.”
“It’s too late!” Oliver kneeled on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Abel turned and left.
Back at the small hotel, blood had soaked half of his body. Abel woke up Luca, who was frightened,and hurriedly helped him treat the wound. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, and the stabwound was not deep, so there was no major harm.
