Chapter 184 The Surgery
The medical room was rudimentary.
Just as the Vice-Captain, Joey, had said, it was hardly adequate for performing surgery.
Gabriel sighed, placing Sherry on the bed.
Then, without even looking up, he rummaged around for surgical instruments and instructed Jared, "Give us the room. Guard the door, and don't let anyone in."
"But..." Jared was worried and wasn't entirely at ease leaving Sherry in Gabriel's care.
Before he could finish his words, Gabriel coldly looked up.
"Get out!"
His words carried an overwhelming force.
With his head down, Jared was filled with sorrow. Suddenly, he knelt before Gabriel and pleaded, "Please, help us save the Divine Maiden. She is the faith of me and countless others."
If he could, he would rather trade his life for the Divine Maiden's.
"I know. Now go!"
Jared's actions caused Gabriel to soften his tone.
As a physician, he despised pointless concern the most.
Such care was futile and would only waste time.
After Jared stood up, he left the medical room and closed the door.
He leaned weakly against the door frame, tears streaming down his weathered face.
"Pardon me."
Gabriel moved everything that could be used to the bedside and let out a deep breath.
Soon, he calmed down.
For a physician, maintaining composure was of utmost importance when treating a patient.
He slowly removed Sherry's clothing. Her perfect body was marred by several slits.
Gabriel wrinkled his brows and began the surgery.
Given Sherry's injuries and the crude conditions, few people in this world could complete the surgery.
But he could.
Stopping the bleeding, cleaning, suturing... All the steps had to be meticulous, allowing no room for error.
"Is it you?"
Amid the surgery, Sherry regained a little consciousness in her dazed state.
Although she couldn't see clearly, there was an image of a man in her mind.
So, she asked softly.
"It's me," Gabriel replied without hesitation.
At that point, he had to encourage the patient.
Thus, he continued in their language, "Didn't you say I'm the demon in your heart? You haven't killed me, so you can't die yet."
Given his understanding of Sherry's personality, he stimulated her with these words.
"So, it is you. Sure enough, you're both the demon and god in my heart."
A faint smile of relief appeared on her face, and a scalding tear streamed down her cheek, glistening brightly.
During the search for the Ogre Slayer, she encountered numerous dangers, but it was worth it.
As the Divine Maiden, she detested getting involved in worldly matters the most.
However, in the face of life and death, she understood everything, including the meaning of karma.
Half an hour later, the surgery was done.
It was a success.
Gabriel removed the needle wrapped around his arm and performed acupuncture.
Thus, Sherry's life would no longer be in danger.
After dressing her, Gabriel carried her out of the medical room.
As soon as Jared saw Sherry, he tensed up once again and hurriedly asked, "How is the Divine Maiden now?"
"She is fine, but she must not fall into the water or get injured again. After you escape, you should take her to the hospital," Gabriel said, handing Sherry over to him.
Narrowing his eyes, Gabriel then headed straight for the open-air playground on the 15th floor.
It was time to settle the score with these pirates once and for all.
On the way, he took out a small wine gourd from his pocket.
It was given to him by Blind John, and it contained wine brewed by that man.
"This time, I'll rely on your power."
He removed the cork and finished the wine in one gulp.
At the playground on the 15th floor, Bernard's attempt to rescue Alonzo had just failed. He was shot and captured. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Rafael made his decision, ordering his men to take Alonzo away from the cruise ship and head for their offshore base.
After learning about Alonzo's identity, he understood that Alonzo alone was worth more than all the wealth they had looted from the cruise ship.
"Mr. Castillo, a group of passengers have escaped in a lifeboat. Shouldn't we stop them?"
Looking at the lifeboat floating on the sea, Alvin asked with a puzzled expression.
Just now, someone on the first floor had activated the lifeboat.
He intended to take people to deal with it, but Rafael stopped him.
While cracking melon seeds, Rafael chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let them escape for now. Later, we'll run them over with the cruise ship and shoot them one by one. It'll be fun."
He didn't mean to let anyone go. He just thought that the more these lambs struggled, the more enjoyable the hunt would be.
Their task was to loot from the ship and find the Blood Scripture.
"Mr. Castillo, ha-ha, guess who I caught?"
Just then, a pirate named Norman pushed Cynthia and her companion, Emanuel, forward.
Cynthia looked disheveled, while Emanuel was wounded by a gunshot.
"Ha-ha, Miss Morgan, delighted to see you, my friend from the God Temple."
Rafael was overjoyed to see her.
According to a reliable source, Cynthia was the person in charge of shipping the Blood Scripture.
Finding her meant finding the Blood Scripture.
So, besides taking revenge on the God Temple, they had completed their most important task.
"Mr. Castillo, your subordinates are quite rough. If you let me go, I'm willing to do anything for you, including spending the night with you."
Cynthia quickly disguised her anxiety and smiled coquettishly.
Rafael sized her up, smiling. "Miss Morgan, you have a perfect figure, but I'm more interested in the Blood Scripture. Hand it over!"
"Blood Scripture?" Cynthia exclaimed in surprise. "Don't tell me you hijacked the cruise ship just for the Blood Scripture."
This was a secret of the God Temple. How did Rafael know?
And it seemed that he was here just for it.
Rafael spat out the shell and put away the melon seeds. His face instantly fell. "The Blood Scripture is just one of my goals. Seeking revenge against the God Temple is also the reason that I hijacked the cruise ship. Cut the crap and hand over the Blood Scripture. I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer like hell. You see, my men have been on the sea all year round and rarely see any women. They have been abstinent for too long."
His words gave rise to a burst of lewd laughter.
Cynthia feigned composure and played dumb. "You were also present at last night's auction. The Blood Scripture was the sixth mysterious item, and Captain Dean took it away. If you want the Blood Scripture, you should ask him instead of me."
Upon hearing that, Rafael walked slowly toward her.
Suddenly, he grabbed Cynthia's chin with his right hand and glared at her. "Are you taking me for a fool? That Blood Scripture is fake. Where is the real one?"
"I don't know!" Cynthia stubbornly held her ground. If she revealed the whereabouts of the Blood Scripture, she would soon be dead.
If she didn't say anything, she might still have a chance to survive.
Therefore, under no circumstances could she reveal it.
"Alright, let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut."
Laughing coldly, Rafael suddenly kicked her in the stomach.
The pain caused Cynthia to fall to her knees and vomit acid.
"Alvin, as a reward for your hard work, I will give this woman to you. Take your time to chill out. After you're done, it will be the others' turn," Rafael casually said, taking out the melon seeds again and cracking them open.
All the pirates were instantly stirred up.
"Thank you, Mr. Castillo!"
Alvin grinned happily as he loosened his belt and headed toward Cynthia.
Grabbing her hair, he got her up.
"Don't worry! I'll be rough!"
He forcefully tore open Cynthia's clothes, revealing her fair skin.
