Chapter 85 - C85 Lines In The Sand

The woman frowned at her brother as she rebuked him for his actions, hearing this Lang Zhis face turned sour because he knew his sister was right.

"Mam please excuse our bodyguards and my brother's actions all three of them are muscleheads that have nothing but fighting and martial arts In their skulls"

The woman explained while giving her brother's waist a pinch making him wince In pain as she lowered her head to apologize.

"Our bodyguard was worried that you took a video of the confrontation, you know the internet is like a black hole one wrong move, and youre done for, so If something like this gets uploaded onto the web, it would affect mine and my brother's careers…"

The sister looked at Hope with a sincere smile.

Resisting the soreness on his entire arm the bodyguard that tried to take the phone away from Hope put his fists together and bowed to Hope causing Hope's facial muscles to twitch from the cringe she was feeling.

"Urghhh... whatever here take a look"

Hope groaned In annoyance as she opened her smartphones gallery and shoved It to the bodyguard to prove her Innocence.

"There's nothing there boss"

The bodyguard said as he did Hope pocketed her smartphone only for Lang Zhi to cause Hope to freeze In place.

"Mam by any chance do you have any way of treating late stage cancer?"

Can I treat late stage cancer? Do I look like an alchemist to you?

Hope thought as her face morphed Into a neither crying nor laughing one.

"Brother, for f*cks are you crazy?"

His sister, standing beside him couldn't help face palm as the doctor and nurses also gave off helpless expressions.

Even the bodyguard's faces twitched, Hope guessed that those two guys must have wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to do so.

Yet Lang Zhi gazed at Hope full of expectations, as if he was certain that Hope could do It.

Wait now then I think about It that horny mutt of mine must have brought something back for or any other Incurable in my timeline diseases back on my first trip.

Hope thought as she mentally checked her Inventory and behold there was a vaccine for all kinds of types and stages of cancers In there.

Truthfully this thing was pretty much a relic, because the gene resequencing serums, were more than enough to make humans Immune to almost every kind of disease.

Hmmm, should I save their father or not?

Hope couldn't help but debate because from one perspective It didn't cost her anything she would be doing an act of kindness.

Yet on the other hand the cure would raise a lot of questions and bring unwanted attention to her.

She also had to come up with a believable answer for the cure such as where It came from, who made It, why no one has heard about It yet and etc.

Ah, you know what f*ck It their father seems to be an Influential person after all not everyone can have active soldiers as bodyguards, I guess being owned a favor for saving someone's life, especially someone with power will never hurt.

Hope decided as she slipped her hand Into her leather jackets pocket pretending to take out the cure.

"Fine since you're so Insistent here It's a new experimental drug that my company recently made, It has already been tested on animals the only thing left Is human trials and the seal of approval from the medical world either use It or dont I don't care"

Hope explained coming up with a bullshit story on the spot as she extended her palm with the sci-fi looking syringe In her palm making sure to make a pained and conflicted facial expression as she did the entire corridor fell silent.

As expected It's a bit too much to casually bring out a supposed cure for cancer.

Hope thought because this reaction was expected after all using an unheard of drug on a patient was a big no no In medical practice.

Yet she still remained composed giving off an air full of confidence.

Though I won't lie this feels pretty fun just seeing their expressions Is making me want to laugh.

Hope snickered In her mind feeling like the third rate scammer from movies trying to sell off sewer water as the miracle drug for all diseases.

"That's impossible!"

The doctor, whose collar was held, opened his mouth in disbelief, he looked at Hope with skepticism.

"If someone could cure late stage cancer, that's enough to win a N*bel Prize."

"The N*bel Prize Is pocket change for me old man"

Hope shrugged as she looked at Lang Zhi.

"So do you want It or not and for the record I'm a billionaire myself so I don't need any payment for It or anything else as for why I'm helping you let's just call It you being In the right place at the right time In other words fate."

Hearing this Lang Xin couldn't help but look at Hope skeptically, different from her incompetent brother, she was a top student at the local University, although she didn't study medicine, she still had basic common sense.

"Can this drug really cure my father? Let me be straightforward, my dad is the ruling party's member if you…"

A politician huh? Well well, talk about the g*ddess of luck being on my side.

Hope thought as a mischievous glint flashed In her eyes.

"Look you either take It or don't because I have to talk with my man who has been standing In the doorway for a while now..."

Hope said while raising her tone slightly as she motioned with her head at Dracula leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed and a playful smirk plastered on his face as he enjoyed the drama.

"What the hell where do all of you come from?"

Lang Zhi couldn't help but blurt out subconsciously after turning his head to look at Dracula.

One giant and a giantess could be considered a coincidence but two giants and a giantess In one place well the chances of that happening were the same as finding a needle In a haystack.

While on the other hand, Lang Xi was deep In thought while biting her nails In frustration.

Should we try it?

Hopes and the doctor's words made her hesitant, what if Hope was a liar and killed her father…

Wait, even if she didn't, the late stage cancer was an incurable disease! Rather than waiting for death, why not try to take a gamble? After all she was someone who cared deeply about her parents.

Not only did her father provide a lifestyle of luxury but his status also allowed her to do whatever she wanted In the city.

If her father died then all that would be gone.

"Here just take It already"

Hope said as she stuffed the syringe Into Langs Xis hand causing her to snap out of her thoughts while Hope walked straight to Dracula no longer Interested In this third rate hospital drama.

MC POV

"Let's talk"

I said as I turned the corner and walked to a quieter place my smirk gone from my face Instantly causing Hope to follow from behind.

Oh f*ck I don't like this...

Hope couldn't help but curse upon sensing Dracula's mood change, It reminded her of that time she got almost r*ped.

"So what do you want to d..."

Hope started saying as we stopped only to pause upon seeing the look on my face

"... oh f*ck no! You're gonna kill someone, aren't you? For f*cks sake Drac this isn't you're world, you can't just go around killing people left and right! We got laws and s*it here!"

Hope hissed In a suppressed voice as she grabbed my jackets collar with both of her hands.

"Here's what's gonna happen Hope first I'll kill the c*nts that did a number on you're old man, then I'll kill the f*cker who orchestrated the whole thing and I'll kill anyone else I'll need to"
