Chapter 38 – Lily’s Resignation
Saving people was far more difficult than killing them.
Once upon a time, there was a Supreme Master from Britain who refused to submit to the King of Horizon. He led a group of disciples to the U.S. border to challenge the authority of the Oracle Hall. But he was ultimately defeated by John—with a single sword strike.
From beginning to end, John's expression remained calm and relaxed.
But today, faced with a little girl suffering from a cold-induced illness, John wore an expression more serious than ever before.
The girl's body was far too fragile to handle the strong force of vital energy.
John had to control his energy with extreme precision.
It was like being a top-tier master whose casual punch could shatter mountains—but instead, he had to exert only the strength required to crush an ant. Even the slightest excess could be fatal.
This made the treatment incredibly delicate.
The procedure lasted for an hour.
At last, the little girl burst into tears. The icy chill that had plagued her was completely driven out, and a warm flush returned to her pale cheeks.
Outside the curtain, her mother had been waiting in agony. She finally let out a breath of relief upon hearing her daughter cry.
