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.
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.
