Chapter 1458: Chapter 1557: A Change in the Balance of Power

Having just healed a patient, You Yang was lying on the sofa, staring blankly out of boredom.

Suddenly, with a “swish!”, the Prophet appeared with Hao Jian and others.

You Yang knew the Prophet had arrived and wanted to ask why he had time to visit her, but in a blink, she saw Hao Jian on the Prophet’s back, his clothes already stained red with blood.

“What’s going on?” You Yang asked anxiously.

The Prophet placed Hao Jian on the sofa and said, “There’s no time, quickly treat Hao Jian.”

Currently, in Huaxia, aside from Hao Jian, You Yang’s medical skills were the best, so the Prophet first thought to bring Hao Jian to You Yang.

After all, it was You Yang who had healed Hao Jian when he was seriously injured last time.

“Alright!”

You Yang immediately took out some medical equipment needed for surgery.

The Prophet and Spice Ginger then carried Hao Jian onto the operating table.

“You all should leave first!”

Saying this, You Yang shut the door of the operating room, leaving the Prophet and Shu Ya outside, as their presence would definitely interfere with her performing the surgery.

Outside the door, Shu Ya waited anxiously.

Just now, Spice Ginger had already informed her of the Prophet’s identity, so she now knew that the Prophet was Hao Jian’s friend.

Spice Ginger asked the Prophet anxiously, “Prophet, is Young Master Hao going to be okay?”

The Prophet also appeared very anxious and said, “I don’t know either. I calculated before and foresaw that this kid would soon face a major disaster threatening his life, which is why I came to find him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue you all.”

The Prophet added, “Although I am the Prophet, there are some things I can predict and some I cannot, and I don’t know about other matters.”

“But seeing the situation, Hao Jian’s injury appears to be severe, much deeper than the last time. Sigh, I didn’t expect Hao Jian to get shot by the Spear God. That guy’s skill is extraordinary; this time it looks bad for Hao Jian, we can only hope You Yang’s skills are good enough to heal Hao Jian!”

Others might not know the Spear God’s strength, but he was the Prophet, having once lived in the dark world, so how could he not know the Spear God’s prowess?

The Spear God, like the God of Death, is one of the five great gods of the dark world.

So now that Hao Jian was hit by a shot the Spear God had prepared for a long time, even the Prophet felt uncertain.

Shu Ya’s face immediately turned pale with fright upon hearing this.

Spice Ginger immediately went to support Shu Ya, saying, “Sister Shu, it’s okay, Young Master Hao is so strong, how could anything happen to him?”

Shu Ya now completely couldn’t listen to what others were saying; to her, she just wanted to know Hao Jian’s safety.

Hao Jian got injured to save her, if not for her, Hao Jian wouldn’t have gotten hurt at all.

Shu Ya was now deeply filled with self-reproach.

Inside the operating room, You Yang first stopped Hao Jian’s bleeding, then administered anesthesia to prepare to extract the bullet from Hao Jian.

Hao Jian’s breathing was already very weak.

You Yang suddenly slapped Hao Jian.

“Bastard! Wake up for me!”

Seeing Hao Jian’s breathing grow weaker, You Yang slapped him a few more times forcefully.

Though the slaps landed on Hao Jian’s face, it was her heart that ached more and more.

Maybe others didn’t know about her feelings for Hao Jian, but how could she not know how deep her feelings were for him!

Even though he rejected her and stayed away for so long, only contacting her when he needed treatment, You Yang was actually very happy; she was happy as long as Hao Jian came to her.

Finally, under You Yang’s slaps, Hao Jian’s consciousness returned.

“Ouch, my face hurts so much, be gentle!” Hao Jian said weakly.

Hearing him say something like this at such a moment, You Yang involuntarily burst into a joyful laugh with tears.

You Yang focused her mind on extracting the bullet from Hao Jian.

The bullet was lodged deep, almost damaging his internal organs; even after extracting the bullet, recovery would take some time.

Finally, You Yang extracted the bullet.

She then placed the bullet in a small basin.

This bullet was very large, much bigger than ordinary bullets; if this bullet had hit an average person, it would have taken their life instantly, but because it hit Hao Jian, it didn’t take his life.

In fact, if not for the Spear God’s injuries yet to heal, if it had been the Spear God at full strength, this shot would have been enough to kill Hao Jian instantly.

After all, this bullet was designed entirely to kill Hao Jian.

After extracting the bullet, You Yang began to stitch Hao Jian’s wound.

The needle slowly stitched up the wound, and soon the palm-sized wound was sewn up.

Hao Jian struggled to sit up but fell back in pain. When he tried to rise again, You Yang pressed him down.

“You need to rest!” You Yang said.

Hao Jian’s condition was all too clear to her. Although the bullet had been successfully removed and emergency aid arrived quickly, there was no immediate threat to his life.

However, the injury from the bullet had severely affected Hao Jian’s internal organs. If an ordinary person were in this situation, survival would be impossible, not even a miracle could save them.

Although Hao Jian was still alive, it was because he was the God of Death. Having experienced all sorts of injuries, his recovery ability was also very strong.

But even so, his injuries were still severe. Removing the bullet was just the first step in the treatment process. If the subsequent treatment is not done well, it could still pose a life-threatening situation.

That’s why You Yang insisted that Hao Jian stay lying down.

Hao Jian, however, looked at You Yang with concern and asked, “Is Shu Ya okay?”

Seeing Hao Jian’s concern for another woman, You Yang instantly felt a little unhappy.

“That woman who came with you?” You Yang asked, displeased.

“Yes!” Hao Jian nodded.

You Yang, while tidying up, said, “She’s perfectly fine, not a scratch. She’s doing well, but you, with your condition, should worry about yourself more.”

Saying this, You Yang cast a glance at Hao Jian.

Hearing that Shu Ya was fine, Hao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Where is the Prophet?” Hao Jian asked.

You Yang said, “The Prophet is outside! Do you want me to call him in?”

Hao Jian nodded.

You Yang then went outside to call the Prophet in.

As soon as Shu Ya saw You Yang coming out, she immediately asked, “Is Hao Jian okay?”

Though only moments ago You Yang seemed gloomy, now she was calm, and said to Shu Ya, “He’s out of immediate danger, but still in a critical condition.”

Hearing that Hao Jian was out of immediate danger, Shu Ya immediately wanted to go in and see Hao Jian, but was stopped by You Yang.

You Yang said, “He just went through the surgery to remove the bullet, but he lost too much blood and his injuries are severe, so he needs rest now. You shouldn’t go in to disturb him.”

Hearing this, Shu Ya had no choice but to back down.

The Prophet knew well about You Yang’s thoughts but couldn’t say much.

Then You Yang told the Prophet that Hao Jian wanted to see him, so the Prophet went in.

Hao Jian was lying on the bed waiting for the Prophet, and as soon as the Prophet came in, he looked at Hao Jian with a bit of a grudge.

The Prophet said, “If I hadn’t foreseen that you’d encounter a disaster soon and rushed here, you would have been a goner, did you know that!”

Hao Jian smiled helplessly, which prompted a cough.

The Prophet continued, “How do you plan to deal with the Spear God?”

Hao Jian said, “Although the Spear God’s skills are inferior to mine, he’s not much weaker. Besides, he uses a gun at a distance, making it difficult to kill him. If I am to specifically target him, it won’t be easy; even just finding him will be hard. But since he teamed up with Kazan to ambush me and even planned to harm Shu Ya, if he escapes this time, there will surely be a next time, so the Spear God must be killed.”

“However, if I try to look for him now, he’s probably far away by now, so finding him will take some effort. For now, just gather information about him, and don’t alert him. Once I recover from my injuries, I’ll take his life myself.”

“Hmm.” The Prophet nodded.

Then Hao Jian added, “Now that the God of Mercenary, Kazan, is dead, the Mercenary Alliance is leaderless. With Kazan’s usual methods, he surely would have already killed all those in the Mercenary Alliance who could threaten his position, so there are no strong members left in the Mercenary Alliance. We should seize this opportunity to take action against this largest faction and eliminate the Mercenary Alliance to prevent future troubles.”

“Hmph! To dare mess with my woman, there’s only one path – death.”

Listening to this, the Prophet nodded quickly.

Then Hao Jian said, “Regarding this matter, instruct my subordinates on God of Death Island to do it. Once the strong members are eliminated, the rest of those who depend on the Mercenary Alliance will disperse naturally, dissolving the Mercenary Alliance.”

“Do this in my name, under my command, to let them know that even though I, the God of Death, am residing in Huaxia, I am not to be trifled with. If you cross me, the fate of the Mercenary Alliance will be your fate.”

After hearing this, the Prophet had no more words and then left.

After leaving, the Prophet went to carry out the tasks Hao Jian had arranged.

Regarding Spice Ginger, because such incidents have occurred, there might be others who could try to harm Lin Qingxue, the Shu Ya Group, or any person or thing related to Hao Jian. So Spice Ginger needs to go back and handle this issue and ensure their safety, so Spice Ginger followed the Prophet back.

As for Shu Ya, because Hao Jian was here, she refused to leave. The Prophet and the others didn’t want to force her, so Shu Ya was allowed to stay here.

Due to his severe injuries, Hao Jian had been forcing himself to say things to the Prophet earlier, so soon after the Prophet left, Hao Jian fell asleep quickly.

He needed rest badly as it would take a significant amount of time to recover from such serious injuries.
