BOOM!!
"Woohoo~~!!"
In the X-Region, near the border of the X Region.
The Clown was speeding along the highway in an armored off-road vehicle.
Behind him, a series of armored vehicles were in hot pursuit!
Of course, these were not Starlight Group's people; these were the people sent by Starlight Group's enemies!
Along the way, The Clown had already destroyed countless armored vehicles in explosive confrontations, but the pursuers were not only not decreasing in number, they were actually growing!
The Clown glared fiercely at Yang Can, the trembling chairman of Starlight Group, cowering in the backseat!
If it were someone else or in a different situation, The Clown would have already strapped a bomb to Yang Can and kicked him out, but not now.
Huang Ming had not received Starlight's goods yet!
Thinking of this, The Clown couldn't help but curse at Yang Can: "You old bastard! How many enemies do you have?"
Yang Can stuttered: "Over the years, the group has grown to this scale by trampling over human lives. How can I even keep count?"
"Phew!"
The Clown spat curses, then suddenly jerked the steering wheel, BOOM!!
A rocket trailing smoke exploded on the road surface where The Clown's car was originally going to pass!
While controlling the steering wheel, The Clown called Huang Ming.
"You haven't received the goods yet?"
"No, not a single shadow in this desolate wilderness."
"OK, someone's going to get a taste of bitterness."
The Clown hung up and pulled Yang Can up with one hand, wedging him between the driver and passenger seats!
Squelch!
A short but sharp dagger flashed coldly as it pierced Yang Can's buttock!
"Ahhh!!!"
A shrill scream came from Yang Can's mouth, and The Clown curled his lips into a sinister smile. He politely waited for Yang Can to finish screaming before slowly asking, "Chairman Yang, it seems you didn't follow my instructions to your subordinates!"
Yang Can cried out in pain: "Do you think I've been a boss for so many years for nothing?"
"If I just hand over the goods to you, would I have a chance to live?"
"Hmph, you freak who's neither human nor ghost, listen up. I have a positioning sensor in my body. The goods you want will only follow three kilometers behind my location!"
"It won't go anywhere else! And as soon as my life signals disappear, the delivery convoy will immediately stop!"
"So, heheh, you freak better protect me well—"
Squelch!
Before Chairman Yang could finish speaking, The Clown stabbed a knife into the back of his neck.
"There's already a guy named Lu harassing me all the time, who the hell are you?!"
"Three kilometers, huh? Heheh..."
Saying that, The Clown turned the car around and actually charged towards the pursuing convoy!
"Woohoo~~!!"
The excited Clown let out a wild shout, flooring the accelerator and charging forward!
He even honked the horn twice!
Boom, boom, boom—
In the blink of an eye, the highway was once again engulfed in explosive chaos!
...
On the outskirts of Cloud City, Lu Yuan's Clinic.
In operating room number four, Lu Yuan carefully examined a small stomach-like organ.
It was taken from an exotic beast called the Malai Monkey.
Similar to a human stomach, but with a smaller capacity.
Lu Yuan had just tested this stomach's rejection reaction with Gao Yuan's body, and the result was that there would be a rejection reaction, but not a severe one. It could suffice for now.
Ever since the nuclear winter, the human body's adaptability had also greatly increased. In the old era, human and animal organs could never have been combined.
After confirming that this stomach could be used, Lu Yuan cut a small opening and soaked it in a cell solution containing regenerative cell genes. He then picked up a hammer and began modifying Gao Yuan's physical form.
Lu Yuan worked on this for half a day.
Before long, it was afternoon.
After observing the discolored stomach for a while, Lu Yuan muttered to himself, "There's no way to make it permanent. I'll need to regularly administer this cell solution orally to maintain the stomach's self-repair function..."
"This is the best result. Time for the transplant."
An hour later, the lights in the operating room went out.
Lu Yuan took off his gloves and walked out, instructing Liu Yuan in the next room, "Send the patient back to her room and make sure no wind gets in."
"Understood!"
As Lu Yuan was about to leave, Liu Yuan said, "Boss, there are a few people downstairs who want to see you."
"Got it."
Lu Yuan went downstairs and saw those people.
The leader was a Level 4 ability user, followed by a few others that Lu Yuan could tell at a glance were also experienced surgeons, as well as a frail-looking young woman with an unstable mental state.
The girl was quite beautiful, even more so than Liu Yuan and Lin Youyou.
However, unlike the two nurses, this girl leaned more towards a sensual charm.
Lu Yuan could understand why his life-saving benefactor would spare no expense on someone like her. Any ordinary woman wouldn't be worth such a high cost.
Among the group, the leading Level 4 ability user stepped forward and said, "Madam Luo sent us. Are you Lu Yuan? Do you have the goods?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "I have them here."
"Is the operating room ready? We need to act quickly. Thank you for the trouble."
Lu Yuan glanced at the girl, then at the middle-aged doctors, but didn't say a word.
At this moment, one of the doctors stepped forward and said, "Her physical condition is currently not suitable for surgery. She needs a few days of recuperation."
"Forcing surgery now could put her life in danger."
The ability user's brow furrowed slightly.
"What's the shortest time for surgery?"
"With some adjustment, three to five days should be fine."
The ability user turned to the doctor and said word by word, "Two days at most. No matter what, the surgery must be done on the third day."
The doctors looked at each other helplessly and said, "Two days, it should be doable."
Lu Yuan stood by silently, not saying a word. This had nothing to do with him; he was just providing the venue.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan noticed the girl was also looking at him.
At this point, the Level 4 ability user said to Lu Yuan, "We'll trouble you to arrange accommodation for this girl for the next two days. We can pay."
Lu Yuan replied, "No problem."
Afterwards, Lu Yuan had Liu Yuan arrange a regular patient room for the girl and instructed Liu Yuan to take care of the girl's meals for the next two days.
The Level 4 ability user and the other doctors didn't go far, staying in their own vehicles.
Originally, Lu Yuan offered to open two more patient rooms for them to stay, but they politely declined.
After dinner, Lu Yuan went to check on Gao Yuan's condition.
Now, Gao Yuan looked like a sticky rice dumpling, completely wrapped in bandages. Lu Yuan checked her vital signs and confirmed everything was fine before leaving.
Downstairs, Lu Yuan encountered the Level 4 ability user, who seemed to be waiting for him intentionally.
"Dr. Lu, my name is Xu Chun. I'm Madam Luo's security advisor. This time, Madam Luo asked me to bring you something."
Saying that, this Xu Chun handed Lu Yuan a silver bearer bond.
"A bearer bond from a bank under the Donglai Financial Group, worth three million. You can withdraw cash or transfer funds anytime at the Donglai Bank in Xifu City."
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the bearer bond, then asked, "Why did Sister Ning suddenly think of giving me money?"
Xu Chun smiled and said, "Dr. Lu jests. The beautiful ability users under Madam Luo may look gorgeous and charming, but they're actually vicious and cruel. In recent years, Madam Luo and Director Zhao have had smooth sailing in the Western Capital, and half of that is thanks to Dr. Lu's efforts!"
Lu Yuan said calmly, "There's no effort or not. I open my doors and provide my services. If the ladies think I'm capable and spend money to enjoy my services, we're both getting what we need."
"If the ladies from other groups come to me, I'll treat them all equally and serve them attentively."
"Dr. Lu said that truly, how enviable is Dr. Lu's state of youthful desirelessness and tranquility..." Hearing this, Lu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it.

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!
