Chapter 290 Lionheart Empire’s Assassin

When he heard Lu Yu’s question, he spread his hands out.

“I can understand if you don’t trust me. After all, I don’t even trust myself with this surgery.”

He couldn’t guarantee the surgery’s success, as this was an extremely risky surgery.

Lu Yu looked at him and asked, “If you completely dodge all responsibilities, does it mean even if you kill my aunt, you can still leave like nothing happened?”

Xu Yuan nodded. “That’s right, and that’s the case. I don’t want to take any responsibility.”

“As a doctor, why aren’t you willing to take responsibility for the patient? Can you really be considered a doctor?”

At that moment, Doctor Zhao stood up. “Hey bro, you’re going too far. At least give Lu Yu an estimated chance of the surgery’s success. You’re not saying anything, yet you’re trying to push your responsibility. How can he trust you?”

Xu Yuan stood where he was and shrugged. “This is how I do my thing. I’ll always be like this, and never change.”

Hearing his words, everyone was speechless.

Lu Yu let out a long sigh as he had no other choice. His aunt’s condition worsened, and time was running out.

Now, it seemed that he could only choose to trust Xu Yuan.

However, Lu Yu had to bear the consequences of the surgery’s failure.

He looked at Liu Yi, lying on the hospital bed, and gritted his teeth. He finally replied, “Alright, you’re not responsible if it fails, so go ahead and carry out the surgery. Don’t worry; I won’t say anything even if the surgery fails.”

Lu Yu was unhappy and didn’t have a good impression of this strange person.

Xu Yuan seemed to have sensed Lu Yu’s displeasure, but he didn’t say anything.

He never explained himself, as he had many experiences saving lives and helping the injured. That was how he came to this conclusion.

He wouldn’t take responsibility for any surgery, especially if it were risky!

“Alright, then I’ll start. But before anything, we need to discuss the surgery process.”

After saying that, the three walked toward the operating theater’s entrance.

Pushing the door open, the three of them came to the corridor.

“The situation is not optimistic and I need to carry out the surgery as soon as possible. I don’t need too many people, just two to help me with the procedure,” said Xu Yuan.

Doctor Zhao looked at him and asked, “Just two is enough? You do know how complicated it is to remove someone’s bloodline.”

Xu Yuan shook his head. “It is complicated, but if there are too many people, it will affect my undertaking…”

Doctor Zhao shrugged helplessly. “I have nothing to say. You can ask Lu Yu for his opinion.”

Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and stated, “Lu Yu, I want to reduce the number of people inside.”

However, Lu Yu did not respond to him.

“Lu Yu… Give me your opinion, stop looking…”

At that moment, Lu Yu was staring at the end of the corridor.

“Wait, don’t make a sound.”

Lu Yu whispered. The two of them immediately closed their mouths and stopped speaking.

Doctor Zhao poked Lu Yu, wanting to know why he said that.

Lu Yu whispered, “Before entering the operating theater, there were still many people around the corridor. Now, there’s not a single person.”

The two doctors looked down the corridor and realized there was no one there. It was deserted, unlike moments before.

This was a central hospital. How could it be deserted?

“Doctor Zhao, what is going on? Why is there no one here? Did they go to a meeting?”

Doctor Zhao was stunned, and he didn’t know what to say.

“That’s impossible. If it was a meeting, I should have heard about it.”

At that moment, his body stiffened. His eyes stared straight at the end of the corridor.

The lights in front of him flickered, and he could vaguely see a figure.

“I… I seem to have seen something. Something’s wrong!” His breathing quickened.

Lu Yu frowned. “Could it be that someone has broken in? Is it an enemy?”

Doctor Zhao quickly retorted, “Impossible. Our hospital’s security is so strong that it’s impossible for anyone to break in!”

“Be careful. I’ll go to the front to take a look.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he started inching forward.

However, a figure suddenly appeared under the lights in front of them.

That person was only a dozen meters away from Lu Yu and the two doctors!

Lu Yu hurriedly raised his hands and transformed them into Explosive Dragon Claws, getting ready for battle.

That person was wearing black tights with a sturdy body full of muscles. There were two long swords on his back.

His entire face was covered and could not be seen at all.

However, Xu Yuan, standing behind Lu Yu, instantly recognized him.

“You… you actually chased me all the way here.”

Lu Yu turned around to look at him. “You know him? Who exactly is this guy?”

“He is an assassin sent by the Lionheart Empire. His purpose is to kill me!”

Xu Yuan’s tone became agitated. Clearly, this person before him was pressuring him.

“Xu Yuan, you have nowhere to go. Today, you will die here!”

The person began to move toward the three with a tone filled with confidence.

Doctor Zhao looked at him and yelled, “Where are the other doctors? What did you do to them?”

“Quiet. They are all tied up by me, and there’s only us here.”

“If the two of you don’t want to die, then get the hell out of here! Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you!”

He roared as he walked towards the three of them.

Xu Yuan looked at him and said, “I didn’t expect you to chase me here. It seems that you have made a lot of preparations, and I might not be able to escape this if nothing unexpected happens.”

“But before that, I want to say something. I came here to save a person’s life, so can you let me finish the surgery first?”

The assassin raised his head and laughed, “Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“I know what kind of person you are more than anyone else here.”

“Do you think I’ll believe that you really want to save a person before you die? You’re just using this as an excuse to stall for time!”

Xu Yuan went silent for a moment as this guy completely saw through his thoughts. This assassin had been chasing after him for a long time, and if it weren’t for the military’s protection, he would have died at this assassin’s hands long ago.

Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and said, “You don’t want your aunt to die and I’m the only one who can save her, so let’s defeat this guy together. Otherwise, it won’t benefit either of us!”

The assassin shouted, “He’s an extremely selfish and cold guy. Do you think he really cares about the lives of your family members? What a joke. He’s just using you, so fuck off to the side as this is a grudge between him and me!”

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan. He did not know what kind of expression he had underneath that mask, but from their previous interactions, he was definitely selfish and cold.

Moreover, this was an assassin sent by the Lionheart Empire. His strength wouldn’t be weak, and his fragile aunt was still lying in the operating theater.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and finally decided that he had to protect his aunt first. He couldn’t risk her getting hurt!
