Chapter 91: New "Companion

"I'm sorry, Katerina, I'm just so upset..."

Barry's honest and straightforward face was still smeared with snot.

Barry?

On the hospital bed, Lu Li, whose neck was wrapped in bandages, frowned slightly.

Barry was someone they met at Storm Corner, and like Katerina, Puxiu, and the Big Sister, chose to follow along.

But why is it hard to remember more details?

"It's okay, isn't Mr. Luli awake now?"

Puxiu's words interrupted Lu Li's attempt to recall: "Mr. Luli, are you feeling better?"

...

"Better than expected. The doctor said the bullet grazed the neck, just barely missing breaking the Exorcist's neck. The assassin likely didn't know the bullet had a trajectory..."

In the corridor outside the ward, the assistant spoke with relief to the arriving Mayor Matthias Knox.

"So is he okay?" Mayor Matteus asked anxiously, concerned only about this.

"Just blood loss and unconsciousness, he woke up a few minutes ago."
