Chapter 1250
Callan rushed over, got on his knees, and picked up James' hand to check James’ pulse. After a while,
his lips curved into a deep frown and he asked, “What happened for him to sustain such terrible
injuries? His internal organs have all sustained some form of damage, and his meridians have been
shattered. It’s already a miracle that he’s still breathing right now.”
Bennett sighed. “This kid is too tender-hearted. After defeating Yaakov, he showed him grace and
allowed Yaakov to escape with his life. However, Yaakov put everything he had into an underhanded
sneak attack and severely injured him.”
Callan stood up, looked at Bennett, and said, “Bennett, I know the Candes have unparalleled medical
skills, but there’s nothing you can do to help him in this state… Fortunately, I’ve got a method to save
and keep him alive, but…”
“But what?”
Bennett stared hard at Callan.
He began guessing the identity of the person before him. Who exactly was this ambiguous old man?
Among the best of the best that appeared in Mount Thunder Sect, he had never seen this person
before.novelbin
Callan licked his lips hesitantly before speaking again, “However, there is a side effect of my
treatment.”
“What kind of side effect, and who exactly are you?”
Callan did not reveal his identity but explained, “The treatment is unique, and I’ll have to use special
Gus to repair his body from the inside. As a side effect, Gus will continue to live and coexist within him
after he’s been cured. For as long as he lives, he’ll have to be tormented by the Gu Parasites biting him
internally.”
“W-Who are you?”
Bennett’s expression grew slightly darker, and he took a few steps back.
“You’re from the Gu Sect. Who exactly are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. If you agree, I can save him right now.”
“I refuse. I will never consent to such treatment on any of my family members.” Bennett stared him in
the eye.
Bennett understood how terrifying the Gu venom was.
“I think you’re underestimating my capabilities. I might not be able to completely treat him at this
moment, but with time, I’m confident I can help him toward a full recovery.”
Bennett had confidence.
Right now, he could not immediately cure James, but he believed he had the skills needed to save
James’ life.
“That would be the best, then. I hope it works out”
Callan nodded and did not say anything more.
“Who the hell are you?” demanded Bennett. His expression darkened and powerful energy seeped out
from his body. His hands were clenched into fists behind him, and a murderous aura began to fill the
air.
As a former top martial artist, Callan immediately sensed Bennett's hostility toward him.
He faced Bennett, who was raging with murderous intent, and spoke calmly, “Callan.”
As soon as Callan gave his name, Bennett was taken aback.
Callan represented an entire era and it was not an exaggeration to say that the Sol today was mainly
possible because of his efforts.
He reached the seventh rank at the age of 40 a hundred years ago and even recruited many powerful
martial artists to join him.
Back then, Sol was easily able to drive away foreign enemies because of Callan’s great contributions.
However, he was betrayed by people he thought were his allies.
“Don’t worry. I’m already at my limit. I would have died a long time ago if James hadn't saved me. I’ll
probably die immediately if you made an attempt to kill me.”
Bennett heaved a relieved sigh.
He was really intending to kill Callan.
However, since James had saved Callan, Bennett chose to trust James’ judgment and also spare him.
Bennett looked at Henry and ordered, “Get me a helicopter. I want to take James back to the Capital to
better treat his injuries. Jackson is familiar with what happened here and will tell you what to do next.”
“J-Jackson? Who’s that?” asked Henry. He was flustered at Bennett’s sudden air of authority and the
unfamiliar name had also caught him off guard.
Bennett said, “You don’t need to know, nor do you need to look for him. Just wait here, and he’ll come
to you soon.”
Jackson was looking for Simon and James within the Mount Thunder Sect’s area but would surely turn
back if he was unable to find them.
Henry did not press matters further and quickly arranged for a helicopter to escort Bennett out of the
area.
“I’ll come with you. I’m also slightly proficient in medical skills and might be able to help you in your time
of need.”
“You?”
Bennett glanced at Callan incredulously.
Truth be told, he did not trust Callan.
This person was the boss of the Gu Sect, the leader of the whole faction.
Callan was not simply the feeble pushover he appeared to be at this moment.
After being ambushed by Lucjan, he was forced into an intense battle. Afterward, he even participated
in the struggle to slaughter the Spirit Turtle.
Bennett was forced to acknowledge that he was weaker than this person who had been through so
much.
