Chapter 1510

[ 566 words ]

Yet, he was already far more skilled than most.

Someone like Sloane didn’t even have the qualifications to learn the technique.

“Then you should try… Wait, let me ask Claire first.”

Silas didn’t mean anything insulting; he was just terrified that Elias’s acupuncture might disrupt Claire’s existing suppression of the toxin.

Claire hadn’t expected Silas to choose her over Elias.

After all, he was Dr. Sterling’s own grandson.

The golden boy of the medical world!

Did Silas really trust her more?

Claire let out a soft laugh. “Let him try.”

“His family’s technique works wonders for pain management.”

Otherwise, General Darwin wouldn’t have specifically requested Dr. Sterling Senior’s

care.

And Dr. Sterling Senior wouldn’t have asked her to step in.

Back then, Elias could have done it, but he would have only been thirty percent as effective as his grandfather.

Still, he was young, with plenty of room to grow.

“As long as it eases their pain,” Silas breathed a sigh of relief.

He had personally trained all four of these men. They had been by his side ever since joining the department.

He couldn’t bear to see them suffer like this. Thanks to Claire’s intervention, they were still lucid.

As a result, they were fully conscious of the agony, biting their lips to shreds to keep from screaming.

Silas almost wished he could drug them into a coma to stop them from trying to hurt themselves.

Still, their current pain level was already reduced by thirty percent.

It showed just how incredible their willpower was when they were first poisoned, clinging to sanity through sheer grit.

They were forged from iron. Anyone else would have started attacking people or committed suicide by now.

Elias diligently worked on the four men while Claire slept nearby, gathering her strength.

Dane had insisted on accompanying her on the mission.

She had tried to refuse, but his presence was the only reason Padgett had greenlit the trip.

Left with no choice, she had agreed.

When they landed in Montara, Claire met two new faces.

They were the operatives Pandora had prepared for her.

Claire had initially argued that with Silas’s team around, she’d be perfectly safe.

But the young man and woman quickly proved their worth.

While Claire’s group took a classified military route, the duo had flown commercially to the Montara airport.

On their train ride to rendezvous with Claire’s team, chaos erupted at the station.

A violent riot had broken out, and the two had stepped in, helping the police subdue multiple armed attackers.

The Montara police had just called Claire to inform her of the situation.

“We need to swing by the station and pick them up.”

Claire had initially considered letting them find their own way, but

their whereabouts needed

to remain confidential, she agreed to fetch them.

Hearing this, Silas immediately understood her logic.

“I’ll send someone. You don’t need to go.”

By the time he returned, the look on Silas’s face had completely changed.

He had originally planned to send a subordinate, but remembering he had a friend

on the local force, he had gone himself.

“Those two bodyguards of yours are unbelievable.”

According to his police buddy, the

situation had been extremely

volatile. If those two hadn’t

And incredibly, they were masters of lethal close-quarters combat.

In this day and age, true martial arts experts were exceedingly rare.

Rumor had it the female bodyguard had subdued several noters while eating takeout box, armed with nothing but a pair of chopsticks.

Claire was surprised and turned to study her new protectors.

They both looked quite young.

Upon seeing Claire, they offered a traditional martial salute.
