At the Golden Oak Hospital Center.
Yesterday, Ignatius Clark suffered inhuman torture in the Kaur family. His arms and right leg were fractured, and he was immediately taken to Niarak Hospital.
Unfortunately, the medical standards at Niarak were too poor. After a simple fix, he was sent back to Slatin early this morning.
At this moment, a luxurious private ward was filled with members of the Clark family.
Each of them had a solemn expression.
A man with a powerful presence stood near the ward, listening to the doctor’s diagnosis of Ignatius Clark. His face grew darker by the minute.
This man was Paxton Clark, the head of the Clark family and Flynn’s biological father.
He was the one who personally drove Flynn and his mother out of the Clark family and sent Flynn to Demon Island Prison.
Next to him stood a woman with light makeup. She wore a meticulously designed fashionable suit, with precise tailoring and high-quality fabric.
Her makeup was exquisite, her lips rosy, her eyes bright, and she held an exquisite handbag.
From her appearance to her demeanor, she exuded an air of elegance and nobility that surpassed any ordinary aristocratic lady.
This woman was Tessa Watson, the mastermind behind the relentless pursuit of Flynn and his mother.
She intervened in Paxton Clark’s marriage and helped drive out Flynn and his mother.
She was involved in all the disasters that followed.
Relying on her powerful background, she helped the Clark family rise to become one of the top three aristocratic families in Slatin.
In fact, she had been involved with Paxton Clark since Flynn was three years old. And Paxton Clark’s marriage to Adrianna Noble was a complete conspiracy.
Thirty years ago, how could a future heir of an aristocratic family marry a woman with an unknown background?
It was all because Adrianna Noble once showed her exceptional medical skills during university.
Paxton Clark saw potential in Adrianna Noble’s abilities and pursued her relentlessly until he won her heart.
Step by step, she entered into the trap set by the Clark family.
But after their marriage, although Adrianna Noble possessed even more powerful ancient formulas, she refused to reveal them and only provided a few general ones.
Despite their simplicity, those ancient formulas propelled the Clark family to become one of the top three aristocratic families in Slatin overnight.
The Clark family became insatiable and constantly urged Adrianna Noble to provide more ancient formulas, but Adrianna Noble had her concerns.
She feared that once these mighty ancient formulas were revealed, they would attract attention from enemies, so she kept them hidden away.
The Clark family became furious. After Paxton Clark had an affair with Tessa Watson, they conspired together.
Who was Adrianna Noble?
She was extraordinary and had experienced more than twenty years of life, which allowed her to see through people’s hearts.
The Clark family’s conspiracy failed one after another.
Finally, when Flynn turned five years old, the Clark family confronted Adrianna Noble. Ten Grandmasters surrounded her in the living room, demanding that she reveal all of her ancient formulas.
That day, Adrianna Noble lost all hope in the Clark family. After killing all ten Grandmasters, she fled Slatin with Flynn.
Tessa Watson dispatched numerous experts to pursue them, attracting the attention of a dark force.
Both forces were now hunting down Adrianna Noble simultaneously.
They faced numerous dangers along the way. Even though Adrianna Noble was a Greater Sovereign herself, she suffered countless injuries while protecting the young Flynn.
The mother and son hid in deep mountains, entered desolate villages, endured countless hardships, and experienced all kinds of worldly suffering.
Adrianna Noble had moments of despair but persevered when she thought of the young Flynn.
One could say that all this suffering originated from Paxton Clark and Tessa Watson.
For their own selfish desires, they pushed Adrianna Noble to the brink of destruction.
“That bastard is still alive? And he even injured Ignatius Clark?” Paxton Clark’s face turned completely dark after hearing the report.
“It has been ten years! I thought we had dealt with that scum by hiring assassins on Demon Island Prison,” he continued incredulously.
“Whether he is alive or not doesn’t matter. He has spent his whole life hiding in sewers. How dare he harm someone from the Clark family? Is he seeking revenge? This worthless dog doesn’t know his place!”
“Paxton Clark, I told you ten years ago that we couldn’t let the Kaur family survive. We must wipe out their entire clan! You are too sentimental about old school ties,” Tessa Watson muttered under her breath.
The members of the Clark family wore expressions of anger.
They had never regarded Flynn as a threat. Without the Clark family, he was just a discarded heir, a mere pest!
Even if the two assassins failed to kill Flynn, the ruthless criminals in Demon Island Prison would surely torment him to death.
Yet, here he was, ten years later, and he was still alive!
And he had even severely injured Ignatius Clark!
Paxton Clark remained silent, but his eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
Not killing Matteo Kaur out of old school ties?
Ha! How could that be possible? As the head of a prestigious family in Slatin, how could he afford to be indecisive and keep others in line?
He dared to strike Flynn and tear him apart, and he had tacitly allowed Tessa Watson to hunt down Adrianna Noble. Why would he care about the life or death of Matteo Kaur?
The only reason he didn’t eliminate Matteo Kaur was that he feared Adrianna Noble left him some medical books!
He understood Adrianna Noble-she was the type to repay any debt of gratitude and would have surely left something behind for Matteo Kaur.
That was why he sent Ignatius Clark to the Kaur family.
Unfortunately, Matteo Kaur was stubborn and refused to talk, even when he was forced to parade around without his clothes.
Paxton Clark wasn’t one to give up easily. He ordered his men to keep a close watch, and sure enough, a month later, Matteo Kaur slipped up.
But it was too late-the medical book had been snatched away by a martial arts expert from Wakasa, and Matteo Kaur was soon protected by an old man wielding a sword.
Paxton Clark was unsure how long the old man would protect him, so he abandoned the idea of killing Matteo Kaur.
However, from Ignatius Clark’s report, that old man should have already left.
Otherwise, Ignatius Clark would have been killed before Flynn arrived.
“Paxton Clark, what do you plan to do? Are you going to continue letting him live?” Tessa Watson spoke slowly and calmly, giving no hint of anger, but a murderous intent simmered deep in her eyes.
Even if Flynn posed no threat anymore, she still didn’t want him alive. That boy had slapped her ten years ago-a bastard left behind by Adrianna Noble herself. He must die!
“He has a medical book! It belongs to Adrianna Noble,” Paxton Clark said bitterly with a wry smile on her face.
Although it seemed like an unrelated answer, her meaning was clear between the lines.
Ignatius Clark had gathered information about Flynn and his recent activities in Niarak. Coincidentally, Lilia Hussain released news about how Flynn used a medical book to defeat Layla Woods and make connections with many aristocratic families.
The Clark family knew how formidable Layla Woods was. The fact that Flynn won against her proved how extraordinary that medical book in his possession must be.
If they tried to directly seize it from him, based on their knowledge of Flynn’s character, that brat would rather destroy it than give it to the Clark family willingly.
This matter required cunning strategies!
Everyone in the ward understood Paxton Clark’s intentions and fell silent accordingly.
Tessa Watson also paused for a moment. Compared to Ignatius Clark’s situation, that medical book seemed far more important now.
Just a few ancient formulas from Adrianna Noble allowed the Clark family to rise from tenth place to becoming one of Slatin’s top three aristocratic families overnight!
If they could obtain that mighty medical book from Flynn… wouldn’t they be able to compete with aristocratic families in Eahta?
Who wouldn’t be envious?
Faced with such extraordinary medical knowledge, all aristocratic families in Eahta would covet it greatly!
If they fully controlled it themselves-not only would it help elevate the Clark family but it would also benefit the Watson family!
“Paxton Clark, are you suggesting we pretend to let Flynn return to the Clark family and deceive him into handing over the medical book?” an older member of the clan furrowed his brows with concern. “Flynn would be overjoyed if we let that scum return to our family.”
“But will Ignatius Clark’s father agree?”
For decades, it wasn’t just because of several ancient formulas that allowed the Clark family to stand strong in Slatin. Ignatius Clark’s father played a significant role as well.
He was the deputy commander of the Golden State military region-a subordinate under Keyon Hedley-one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the nation!
And who was Keyon Hedley? He was a Greater Sovereign who took charge of Dragonguard-the formidable stronghold at the Northern Territory!
Under his command were two hundred thousand elite soldiers controlling both Golden State and Morport’s military regions. He was known as “the King of Northeast”!
It was rumored that not only was he good friends with Yves Yancey, but they also shared the same master as well!
If Ignatius’ father found out about his son’s severe injuries-how could he tolerate it?
Paxton might be head of the Clark family, but if Ignatius’ father refused to give him face and insisted on killing Flynn-he would be helpless!
