Chapter 912

Everyone was looking at Zoey. She was Cyrus' wife, and she should theoretically know how to reach the young lord if Cyrus truly was in league with him. But she merely shook her head and said, "Cyrus has never mentioned any way to contact the young lord." "Perhaps the young lord doesn't want to reveal himself since the enemy who destroyed the Hippocrates Sect probably hasn't shown themselves yet," Margot said. Jace was also confused. The young lord was too enigmatic. "The young lord wouldn't be a coward and just stand by while people die, would he?" The Hippocrates Sect was renowned, but they were considered unattainable by ordinary people. The young lord had also never descended from the mountain, so no one really knew what kind of person he was. At this moment, Hank, who was guarding the entrance, called. "Mrs. Johnson, people from the Draig family have arrived." "The Draig family? The Draig family of Southgress?" Zoey immediately grew nervous. "Yes, and it's Steven Draig, one of the four key figures of the second generation, along with several subordinates." "How dare they do this in broad daylight! What do they want?" "They claim to be here under the orders of Mr. Draig Senior to protect Innerzen Medical Center, and they don't seem to have any ill intent." After hanging up the phone, Zoey and a few other women went downstairs together. Jace quickly contacted the hidden guards among the patients, instructing them to open fire if anything seemed amiss to protect Zoey and the others. Protecting Innerzen Medical Center was a task Cyrus had assigned her before he left. Now that he was no longer around, she was determined to keep that promise, at least to ensure his wife and daughter would not be harmed. The praying crowd in front of the entrance of Innerzen Medical Center left after gazing at the 80-year-old Steven and his five children in awe. "Dad, Cyrus' reputation in Jorsproburgh is indeed remarkable," his eldest son said. "Indeed, he's quite impressive. That's why your grandfather said the Lord himself ordered that no harm should come to Cyrus' wife and daughter." "Then, this mission can be considered a royal order. That way, we don't have to fear retaliation from the other four families." Steven frowned and said, "That may be true, but do you think anyone really listens to what the Lord says?" Originally, the order from his father, Moses, was to take Zoey and her daughter to Southgress immediately. That was the Draig family's territory, where even the other four families wouldn't dare to seek revenge lightly. But now, the new order was to protect Zoey in place. While they should prevent anyone from harming them, they also wouldn't allow them to leave the medical center. Clearly, they intended to use Zoey and her daughter as bait to lure the young lord out. Leaning against his long sword, Hank stood guard at the door to prevent the group from entering the medical center. Though he knew his skills probably weren't enough to even handle Steven's sons, he had promised Cyrus to protect Mira and the ladies. He was prepared to die trying. As Zoey came downstairs with the other women, they immediately caught the attention of Steven and his children. "Damn, Dad! Zoey looks just like Grandma!" "She's even prettier than Grandma. Only Aunt Kaia could compare with her. She really deserves her title as the most beautiful woman in Jorsproburgh." Steven nodded and said, "It seems Dad wasn't wrong. She really is Yvonne's niece." Seeing that Zoey had come down, Hank stepped aside while staying alert. Zoey looked at Steven and said, "Mr. Draig, with all due respect, are you here to protect us or to keep us under surveillance?" "Of course, we're here to protect you." "In that case, you won't restrict our movements, right?" Zoey asked. They had plans to escape that night, but their effort would be futile if the Draig family were watching them. As a second-generation family head, Steven was likely at the terrifying level of the Majestic Doctor Realm. But now, he was rendered speechless, not expecting Zoey to be so direct.
