Chapter 15: The Burning Silver Needle

```

Edwin Blake did not speak, staring into her eyes, which grew more unfathomable, making it hard for anyone to understand.

Ivy River was not easy to deal with either, she met his gaze head-on and smiled sweetly.

Alexander Hodges and Leon Peterson didn't dare to even breathe too loudly.

No one dared to step forward to play the peacemaker.

After a long while, Ivy River lazily spoke, "President Hodges, please step aside, you're delaying me from making the payment. Don't you want to make money off the necklace?"

Alexander Hodges instinctively stepped aside.

Before Ivy River pulled Leon Peterson away, she whispered in his face, "President Blake, the effect of the hundred-billion Lingzhi must be great, your wife will surely love it, I wish you two endless happiness, goodbye."

Edwin Blake stared intently at Ivy River's departing figure, as if trying to pierce a hole in her back.

Even though she wore a mask, he could still tell this wasn't Ivy River, then who was it?

This woman knew him well, even her speaking tone was reminiscent of Ivy before she left.

That figure...

Just as Edwin Blake was about to follow, Isla came out, "Edwin, are you guys not done yet? I want to go home, I'm feeling a little unwell."

Edwin Blake panicked immediately, "Where do you feel unwell? We're going downstairs to get the Lingzhi now, Divine Doctor Ayla will come for a check-up tomorrow, hang in there."

Isla nodded, "Alright! Edwin, having you is my blessing."

Alexander Hodges silently rolled his eyes: what a blessing it is, spending a hundred billion on a Lingzhi plant, what else could it be?

"Fourth one, you pay when we go downstairs, and deliver it to Peace Hospital completely tomorrow."

Alexander Hodges stayed silent.

The people from the Dark Web failed today and might resort to desperate means tonight.

After all, the deadline is tomorrow morning at 8 am.

The transaction location is in Seaton.

Now letting him protect, isn't it like sending him straight into a fire pit?

"It's a hundred billion! Give me the money, I have none."

Edwin Blake ignored Alexander's complaints, directly leaving with Isla Sutton by the elevator.

Once in the parking lot, he couldn't help but look around.

But he didn't see that silhouette...

The next day.

At the back door of Peace Hospital.

Leon Peterson was very nervous, pacing back and forth incessantly.

Ivy River was in disguise, extremely irritable, "If you keep pacing, get lost."

"I'm just nervous, boss."

This made Ivy River even angrier, "Why did you have to disturb my master for such a matter!"

Leon Peterson was very worried and didn't want Ivy River to personally attend to the case at all.

Hence, he had a bad idea, wanting Lucas Woods to take over.

Back and forth, Lucas Woods was also very tense, on edge.

"Wasn't I just worried about something happening to you?"

"What if something happens to my master, he's a sixty-some-year-old man, and you're letting him worry alongside, you idiot."

Leon Peterson was speechless, "What if Edwin Blake, the untrustworthy fellow, secretly comes?"

"It's unlike him if he doesn't come."

Ivy River kicked him in frustration, "If Edwin Blake's people come, you answer throughout, and I won't say a word."

While the two were quarreling, Harry Ross arrived.

"Sorry I'm late, are you two the Divine Doctor Ayla?"

Leon Peterson nodded, "Are you ready?"

Harry Ross: "Everything is prepared as per instructions."

"Good, Edwin Blake didn't come, right?"

Harry Ross: "The president didn't come."

Hearing the satisfying answer, Ivy River immediately carried the medical box and went upstairs.

As if it was a familiar path, she headed to the elevator entrance.

Harry Ross was full of doubts, it's like returning home.

But this is the hospital's backdoor!

Upon reaching the top floor vip consultation room.

Ivy River entered, immediately shutting Leon Peterson and Harry Ross outside the door.

The two looked at each other in confusion.

"Understand, this is just how a Divine Doctor is."

Harry Ross nodded, "Then when should I call Miss Sutton in?"

Leon Peterson was dumbfounded, "I really don't know this."

Harry Ross was speechless but still went to bring Isla Sutton to the top floor.

After a while, Ivy River, wearing a white coat, opened the door, "Is she here?"

"She is."

Isla Sutton stood up, "Divine Doctor Ayla, hello, I have long heard of your great reputation, thank you for coming to treat me."

Ivy River ignored her and walked straight ahead.

"Come in, close the door, no one is allowed to enter, or there will be no subsequent treatment."

Isla Sutton was a bit uneasy without Edwin Blake by her side.

Ivy River impatiently urged, "Hurry up, if you don't want an examination, leave."

Harry Ross spoke urgently, "Miss Sutton, please speed up a little!"

Spending hundreds of billions on Divine Doctor Ayla, buying Lingzhi for another hundred billion.

Even giving shares, ceding land with compensation, and now she is still being pretentious here...

Isla Sutton nervously entered the consultation room.

"Sit down, expose your arm."

Ivy River handled matters with a businesslike attitude.

Seeing she was alone, Isla Sutton stopped pretending, "You are Divine Doctor Ayla? You better examine me properly, otherwise, Edwin won't let you off."

"Why not take off the mask, what is there that can't be shown?"

Ivy River didn't even lift her head, "Shut up."

"What are you pretending here, why didn't Edwin come, are you afraid of not treating me well, and he'll do something to you?"

Isla Sutton ignored her, continuing to speak on her own.

Ivy River's fingers exerted a bit of force, causing Isla Sutton's arm unbearable, screaming loudly.

"You, what are you doing, what are you doing to my arm! Why does it hurt so much!"

"Let go, I told you to let go, do you hear me, are you deaf?"

Ivy River ignored her, at this time began to open the medical box.

Randomly pulled out a Silver Needle.

Lit an alcohol lamp and began to burn the Silver Needle.
