Chapter 436: Exchanging Intelligence, Holding the Winning Ticket.

That night, Noah Bates and his team brought the battered Hazel Forest to Adriel River's hospital. As soon as they entered, Adriel was already waiting there, his white coat billowing behind him as he walked. "Arrived?"

"Yeah, the situation is urgent." The people behind Noah lifted Hazel onto a hospital bed. "You must save his life."

"OK."

Adriel glanced at Hazel's injuries and clicked his tongue. "Who tortured him? How did he end up like this? Some of these wounds are already infected..."

As they ran, they pushed Hazel toward the operating room. Nearby, Wayne Don was visibly anxious. He had been used to seeing Hazel as a stoic figure who could take on hundreds and remain untouchable. To see him in such a near-death state—when someone so strong reveals vulnerability—it must mean they've suffered immensely.
