CHAPTER 77
Tracy's eyes shot open in shock the next morning when she woke up.The issue of the loan was such a burden that it had not let her get a good wink of sleep.Her body ached sore from tossing and turning all night. If she didn't get any solution soon, she could as well bury her head in shame.Just when she grabbed her phone from the nightstand, clueless on who to call, did she get the shock of her life."Is this a kind of dream?" She wondered out loud, pinching herself. Eight million dollars.The alert stared her straight in the face, leaving her puzzled.Hadn't Jacob particularly been a pain when she tried to ask him for help?She took shaky steps to her bathroom, splashing large hands of water on her face.This has to be some mistake.If this was a joke of Jacob's to get to agree to his outrageous request, he was a joker.Within minutes, she was dressed and ready to find out what in the world was going on.But just before she could step out of her house, ignoring the questioning sta
CHAPTER 76
The tall building of Cross Stone Bank loomed in the distance as Tracy and Lucian pulled up to it.Tracy turned to Lucian with a small, grateful smile."Thank you so much, Lucian," she muttered, alighting from the car with Lucian.Once they got to the reception, Tracy turned to him."Please, let me go in alone to see the CEO," Lucian didn't argue.With a nod, he simply went to take his seat at the reception, watching her as she walked into the office of the CEO, Jacob Houston.Tracy walked in, taking in the luxurious arrangement and furnishing of the office."Well, well. If it isn't the popular and infamous Tracy the healer," a loud, deep voice boomed from behind her.He chuckled. "I'll be damned."She jumped, startled by his sudden appearance as she hadn't seen him there earlier.She also couldn't tell if the edge in his tone was amusement or something worse."Mr. Houston," she breathed out, adjusting her hair.He smiled, settling into his comfortable chair behind the desk."To what
CHAPTER 75
Tracy groaned slightly as her eyes slowly fluttered open."Where am I?" She wondered to herself.She took in her environment.White wall.A drip was attached to her and she could feel that she had been bandaged on her face.There were also scars on her arms and legs, some of which were almost fading away already.She frowned.The last thing she recalled was being beaten by General Ian's soldiers and crying out for her.Who had come to rescue her?She slowly turned around, still feeling weak. Her body also ached when she tried to turn.There by her side, Lucian sat on a chair, his head bowed slightly. He was asleep.Her eyes widened."Lucian saved me?" She wondered out loud.Her words and movements roused Lucian from his sleep.He smiled slightly to see that she was awake."You're awake. How do you feel?" He questioned, standing up to examine her closely again.Tracy frowned. "What are you doing here? Who brought me here?" She asked foolishly.Lucian shrugged, feeling her temperature.
CHAPTER 74
The expression on General Ian's face was one of someone who had just seen a ghost.Almost all his men were down now but he was too distracted by Lucian's grace to pay attention."Y-You," he stuttered; something he never did.That last power move that Lucian did had him speechless.Was this stranger who had just burst into his mansion who he thought he was?He shook his head in disbelief again.He watches the bodies of his men drop to the ground like helpless packs of card after that signature move.Lucian stood in the center of them like a warrior.Ian clasped his mouth.Could it really be?The move was the signature move of the one and only Ashura General, a legend wrapped in whispers and dread.The warrior has ascended military ranks through sheer mastery of combat and forbidden alchemic arts.His confidence crumbled."W-Who are you?" He questioned no one but himself when the aura hit him.It was so strong it sent him reeling backwards in shock.Looking up, his heart leapt to his th
CHAPTER 73
The General's convoy pulled up in front of a great mansion, ten times the size of Tracy's family's own."Take her to the basement," he ordered, his fury still seething beneath his ice cold glare.He had gotten the news of the doctor from his wife. The chances of Rosie being saved was as good as zero."Make sure you tie her up well. I'll tell you what to do with her soon."The moat gruesome and terrible punishments he had ever known raced down his mind as he thought of what to do with Tracy.Her carelessness had killed his niece.He fisted his palms and punched the wall, creating a large dent.He grabbed his phone, thinking of who to call for a miracle.As he scrolled through his phone, the new news headlines caught his attention.'Miracle serums bring floods of peace to the nation.'He scrolled through many more similar headlines and went through an article.As his men carried out his orders and he read through the articles, hope soared in his heart.There was a cure.Maybe, just may
CHAPTER 72
Chaos ensued at the entrance of General Ian."Ahh!!"Tracy's mother let out a loud scream of horror as she recognised the person in front of her."G-General Osborne. What a p-p-privilege to have you here. W-What can we do for you?"She would have been honoured to be in his presence if the circumstances were different. If he didn't have that deadly expression on his face.That look made her want to pee on herself.The media personnel and some of the journalists who were able to squeeze their way in also entered the house, their cameras capturing the whole scene.Blake's lips trembled but no single word was able to form. 'How in the world did the famous Ian Osborne end up in their house?: He wondered.Shaking like a leaf, he clapped his hands together as though trying to please.Just as he was about to speak, General Ian cut him shirt sharply with a loud, booming voice."This will be the last time I'm going to ask this. Who in this house is Tracy?!" Tracy, who was hidden perfectly beh
