Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2603: Quella Radcliffe in Critical Condition

On Demarco Mount, flowers bloom, and grass is lush, full of life.However, inside the luxurious palace, the atmosphere is oppressive.

On the jade bed lies a woman.

The woman is ashen-faced, as if she’s dead.

Standing around her are many people.

"Mr. Shadow, is there any way?"

Hiddy stands at the window, her brows furrowed with worry.

By the time she received the message, Quella Radcliffe was already unconscious.

Her vital signs were rapidly disappearing.

In such an emergency, she could only use one of Demarco Mount’s treasures, the jade bed, to prolong Quella’s life.

"It’s very strange, you could say she’s dead, but she’s not. Quella is a normal person; she’s not like us martial artists and has no spiritual power within her. Look, she’s in a coma now, but she still has a heartbeat, though it’s very slow," Shadow Kims said thoughtfully, propping his chin with his hand. "What’s stranger is that her heart only beats once a minute, and very weakly at that!"

"For a normal person, this is impossible. When the heartbeat drops to this level, it means the person is dead. I’ve never seen a normal person’s heartbeat that’s once a minute and has lasted for several hours without dying!"

With that, Shadow Kims sighed and paced around the room incessantly.

Demarco Mount is a martial arts center with top-notch doctors, martial arts experts, and even scientists like Shadow Kims.

Yet, all these elites were helpless in the face of Quella’s condition.

"Julius Reed is returning soon, but before he arrives, we must ensure Quella survives," Hiddy said very seriously. "Mr. Shadow, we’re counting on you."

"It’s my responsibility, but it’s indeed tricky." Shadow Kims grimaced, sitting down again by the jade bed, carefully observing Quella’s physical condition.

Quella lay on the jade bed with a layer of millennium-old ice beneath.

The icy aura slowly emanating from the bed helped maintain Quella’s vital signs.

Her face was very pale, but her expression was rather peaceful.

She did not appear to be in pain.

However, her skin was also starting to turn pale.

For a normal person, a heartbeat that slow means blood circulation is extremely sluggish.

Quella is not a martial artist, and her cells are not as strong as those of a martial artist. Prolonged lack of blood circulation could cause issues.

Shadow Kims was now thinking about how to revive Quella, not just maintain the status quo.

If it resulted in irreversible consequences, he would feel guilty, feeling he let Julius Reed down.

Shadow Kims had long lost any lofty ambitions; staying at Demarco Mount with advanced equipment and top resources, doing research every day made him very happy.

All this was thanks to Julius Reed.

Shadow Kims is very grateful in his heart.

"If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to use extreme measures!" he said, his face dark and conflicted.

"What do you mean?" Hiddy sensed something ominous.

Having known Shadow Kims for so long, this was the first time she saw him so serious.

It seemed the situation was truly not good.

"While she’s still not entirely gone, extract her soul; then I can create a new body and inject the soul into it," Shadow Kims revealed his bold idea.

"As a last resort, we have no other way," Hiddy nodded, "But I have a question. This method poses no problem for martial artists, but can it work for her? After all, she’s just an ordinary woman."

Julius Reed’s memory was extracted and restored in this manner.

Similarly, Hiddy’s memory was extracted by her father and later regained by Julius Reed.

Although the technique requires high skills and greater abilities from martial artists, it generally posed no issues.

But now the situation was entirely different.

Quella is not a martial artist!

She’s just an ordinary person.

A martial artist’s telekinesis and physical vitality are strong.

This method had never been experimented on a regular person.

"There’s no choice. I know it’s a thorny problem, but I have no other option now. Can I just watch Quella die? No, neither can Julius Reed. If it fails, I, Shadow Kims, won’t regret it; if Julius Reed wants to kill me, let him."

Shadow Kims was full of struggle.

"I hope she can endure. Without telekinesis for support, I’m really worried that she might...

The words were left unsaid, but everyone understood the implication.

If the memory is fully preserved, then perhaps it would still be a reborn Quella.

But if everything vanished,

would Quella still be Quella?

Shadow Kims did not want to ponder over this question.

"Alright, I’ll leave this to you," Hiddy stood up, nodded, and said, "I entrust it to you."

"It’s my responsibility." Shadow Kims exhaled deeply, his eyes fixed on Quella.

He observed constantly; if anything went wrong, he could only resort to that method.

After all...

He couldn’t just watch Quella die.

Hiddy left the room with her people.

Anyone could feel the murderous aura she carried.

"Bring everyone who had contact with Quella here. Everyone, from the kitchen to the cleaners, anyone who had a chance to get near her!"

She spoke coldly.

"Everyone has been captured; they’re waiting in the main hall for you," a woman beside her replied.

"Good."

Hiddy strode towards the main hall.

At this moment, inside Demarco Mount’s main hall,

the guards were full of killing intent.

As the most crucial palace of Demarco Mount, all the guards here had been thoroughly vetted.

Some were directly drawn from the Wolf Cavalry, absolutely loyal.

Others were Hiddy’s people, loyal to her.

The rest were Demarco Mount’s own people.

These elites stood within the hall, surrounding dozens of people.

The dozens of individuals were trembling.

They knew what they might face.

"I say, who did this! Can’t you stand up and admit it? You’ve got the guts to harm others, do you want to drag everyone down?"

"Coward! Scum! How could such traitors appear in Demarco Mount! Everyone here has deeply benefited from Demarco Mount; how could you do such ungrateful things?"

"Everyone should face their actions; whoever did this, admit it quickly!"

The dozens looked at each other.

They were familiar, all people of Demarco Mount.

Responsible for the daily living care within the palace.

Each had been vetted; there should be no suspects.

But the incident had indeed happened.

The only ones who could approach Quella were these people.

"Silence!"

At this moment, there came a shout from outside.

Soon after, Hiddy walked into the main hall.

Filled with a murderous aura!

"One minute, and I’ll give him a clean death."

Hiddy raised one finger, passing by those people, stepping up to the main hall, and sitting on the dragon chair.

"If a minute passes and I have to catch him, then he’ll be torn to pieces!"

She finished speaking, and the hall was silent.

No one spoke.

"You’re all not speaking, are you?"

Hiddy nodded, "Alright, then I’ll kill you all!"

"Wait a moment." Just then, Julius Reed walked into the main hall.
