Chapter 559 - THE COST OF SALVATION (2/2)

”There is a certain genius doctor who might be able to save Akira,” Taiki said, even though he was unwilling to give his nephew a glimmer of hope.

Kaito felt rejuvenated. ”Who? Tell me!”

Taiki sighed. ”She was a young girl when I last saw her. But she could perform medical miracles even before she was ten years old. She never worked as a doctor for long, but I think her medical knowledge is vast and mysterious.”

”I don't want to know her life story. I just want to know who she is and her location.” Kaito looked at Taiki with crazy eyes.

Taiki pushed Kaito to a bench outside of the ICU. For the moment, Kaito could not enter the hospital room, but he had been staring through the glass for hours. He was exhausted, hungry and possibly dehydrated.

Taiki offered him a bottle of water and urged him to drink before continuing.

”Did you hear about a man called Demon King on Martial Island?” Taiki asked, even though he knew that Kaito knew him.

Kaito nodded as he drank the water. People did not dare offend the so-called Demon King, but they were not shy about talking about him. He was spoken about in horror, and most stories about him were wild and exaggerated.

But most importantly, he knew that the Demon King was Yuan Haoran. He was the person responsible for getting him off Martial Island when he was trapped the last time.

”What about him?” Kaito asked while taking a deep breath.

”The powerful doctor is his lover. Or at least, they are extremely close. He took her away from Martial Island about five years ago. He shows up on occasion on the island, but no one has seen that young lady since then.” Taiki explained.

Kaito did not think twice. ”I have to get in contact with him. I have to find that doctor.”

Taiki sighed. ”No one knows where he is because no one can control what Yuan Haoran does. Usually, Martial Island keeps people loyal and in contact while they are in the outside world by holding their families as collateral.”

”But you should know what happened to the Yuan clan. Yuan Haoran killed them all, and he refused to comply with the rules of Martial Island, including conforming to the order of names. The only person he cares about is that doctor.”

Kaito understood what he was saying. The hope was almost non-existent.

”Since your friends could compel Yuan Haoran to rescue you from Martial Island, they should know how to get in touch with him.” Taiki finished explaining his bad idea because he could not bear to see his nephew suffering or stand to lose Akira and the baby.

”Kaito, Kaito, Kaito!” Akira called out repeatedly, bringing Kaito back to the present.

”Yes, dear.” He smiled a little stiffly.

”What do you mean by she did not ask anything from us?” Akira asked.

”Hu Lei made a deal with the devil again,” Kaito said with an overwhelmed weariness.
