Dr. Juan Manuel couldn't believe what he was hearing. With his hand holding his cheek, he kept shifting his gaze from the chief director to Jamie. He chuckled nervously, still unwilling to accept this truth. “Y….You must be joking, right? How could this guy be the owner of this mega-hospital? Sure, he looks a little bit rich, but…..”Chief Director Louis Rowling cut him off with a harsh tone. “But nothing, you arrogant fool! How dare you talk to the young chairman like that?!”He pointed at Dr. Juan Manuel, wiggling the index finger at him in anger. “It seems you're tired of working at this hospital! Do you really think you're beyond firing from this place?!”Dr. Juan Manuel turned to the chief director in shock. “What?! You're threatening to fire me?! You can't do that, right?!”He was met with silence, which was far louder than any worded reply he could have gotten from anyone in that room. Hence, his heart began racing as he felt fear wash through his..He turned to his direct su

Hearing these words, Dr. Juan Manuel walked forward boldly with a finger pointed at Jamie. “ You're gonna fire me?! I would love to see you try!”Everyone stared at the man with varying degrees of expression. Jamie couldn't help but think of General Stella. If the youthful woman was here, she would have slapped the hell out of this man's face just to shut him up.As for Director Julia Dawn, she was shocked at Dr. Manuel's boldness to act so rashly in front of the young chairman. “Dr. Manuel, have you lost your goddamn mind?! Do you not realize who you're talking to?!”Dr. Juan Manuel retorted swiftly. “I do! But it seems like it's this young chairman who doesn't realize who he's talking to! I'm the top neurosurgeon of this mega-hospital! I've been one of the faces for eight years in a row! I'm a freaking great rep for this mega-hospital!”He chuckled with a dark tone.“If you get rid of me, you'll be ridding yourself of a great staff member from this great hospital! With my presence

Dr. Juan Manuel did not wait to take a good look within this office before he turned around and flew out through the window.If he had stayed a bit longer, he would have found out that not everyone was affected by his poisonous gas, specifically the young chairman and his personal assistant, who had affected the status quo of the neurology department.Both Jamie and Tom had gas masks on their faces, which shielded them from the effect of the dark creature's poisonous gas, as they watched the Basilisk flee with Dr. Juan Manuel's body.With the mask still on his face, Jamie spoke to his personal assistant. “Should we wait for things to clear out? I recall reading that it would require about half an hour for the Basilisk's poisonous gas to be purged from a room naturally. Do we have any means of making that faster, or…..”Tom pulled out the light crystal. “Young Master Jamie, as long as we're dealing with creatures from the dark realm, these Holy light crystals will be or not be effecti

Billy Carson, Jamie's best friend, could now walk properly once again. However, the doctor and Stacy both looked worn out, done with the entire chaotic ordeal this guy had put them through before they could even get his cast off completely.Stacy shook her head, glaring at the young man. “I'm never following you to a doctor's appointment ever again. Let someone else deal with your….tantrums next time.”Billy had a smug expression as he swaggered as they walked towards the elevator. “Huh? What are you talking about, Stace? I totally handed it like a fucking champ! I think it was that doctor who was overreacting.”Stacy rolled her eyes before a teasing smirk spread across her face as she whipped out her phone. “Oh, yeah? Then do you dare watch the footage I was able to obtain? This way, we can let the facts speak for themselves. Let's see if you were truly calm or….”Billy didn't even take time to think about it before an expression of fear and embarrassment filled his face. “Wait, wha

The soldiers of The Bridge Crow weren't surprised by this scene unfolding before their eyes. They've come across dark entities like this in the past, or seen many clips of the Basilisk and the host they are feeding off of. In the end, this scene was how it ended.Juan Manuel was starting to foam at the mouth as the Basilisk within him was causing him a lot of immense pain, making the blood vessels in his brain to actually burst one by one.[Traitor! We've only met a tiny hurdle! We can escape it as long as we use our heads! But you?! You chose to betray me! If I'm gonna be captured and killed by these troublemakers, then I'm definitely taking you down with me. And if there's hell for entities like myself, I will continue to haunt and torture your traitorous ass for eternity!] Juan Manuel was desperate at this point. He wasn't just hearing the taunting and scarily threatening words of the Basilisk in his head, he could feel the physical agony manifested from the images of torture tha
