Novel Full Chapter 154 - He Was Poisoned!
Chapter 154 – He Was Poisoned!
In the other part of the hospital, a man with a very intimidating aura was now heading to the ICU where Grandpa Roland was being treated and monitored.
He was wearing a black hooded jacket and a mask to hide his face. He didn't want to catch the attention of other people. If they could see his gorgeous face, the people would definitely notice his presence and he would become the center of attraction in that hospital.
His clothes got soaked from the pouring rain and river. He already changed it after saving a woman who was drowning in the river of the Golden City.
This man was none other than Raizel, the new leader of the Vampire Clan. He couldn't wait to find out what happened to Grandpa Roland.
He still needed Grandpa Roland. His cooperation was crucial with their plan of reclaiming the throne and fighting the Werewolf Clan.
When he reached the ICU, the two guards blocked his way in an instant, not allowing Raizel to proceed further.
Raizel hated the way the two guards approached him. But he didn't want to create a big scene so, in the end, he dealt with them in a 'peaceful manner' that he knew.
Raising his hands, he hit the two guards at their necks, knocking them out. He moved so fast that the guards didn't see his attack coming. In an instant, the two men fell unconscious and dropped to the floor.
Raizel immediately dragged them up, letting them sit on the bench as if they were just sleeping. When he was done fixing their position, Raizel entered the ICU to check Grandpa Roland's condition.
Grandpa Roland was wearing an oxygen mask. He looked so frail and weak. His face and his lips were pale as if his red blood cells were drained. He could hear the slow beating of his heart and his weak pulse. Grandpa Roland was so sick as his illness worsened.
Raizel moved closer to Grandpa Roland's sickbed. His face was covered with complicated emotions.
"Roland Zhou, you have to survive. You can't die. You still have a job to finish. You have to see the Werewolf clan suffer under me. So get up now, old man!"
A beeping sound of the machine was the only reply he got. He wondered if Grandpa Roland could hear him.
Raizel would not leave this room without finding out Grandpa Roland's true condition. He removed the glove on his right arm. It did not take long when Raizel placed his hand over Grandpa Roland's forehead.
Raizel had this kind of special ability wherein he could tell the root cause of someone's illness and his or her current health condition. He had to use his eyes and palm to scan a person's body.
To do this, Raizel was combining his psychometric ability and his x-ray vision. He began applying his ability to diagnose Grandpa Roland.
After five minutes of scanning Grandpa Roland's body, Raizel's face became gloomy. The old man's life was in great danger.
"I think it's too late. The poison already spread in his entire body. It's slowly killing him. Who the hell did this to him? Who poisoned him?" Raizel mumbled, clenching his fists.
He could only shake his head as he could see this as a hopeless case. The Zhou Patriarch was going to die… soon.
"Where is his granddaughter? I need to meet her. I wonder if she knows about her grandfather's condition." Raizel murmured to himself. But he wasn't sure if Grandpa Roland's granddaughter could be trusted.
He didn't know who poisoned the old man so he should be more cautious when meeting the other members of the Zhou Family. It was no secret to him that Ronan was very close to the werewolves.
'Did his own son poison him?' Raizel's brows were drawn together at that thought.
He knew he had to move now. His goal was to conquer the Golden City where the Main Headquarters of the Triple W was located.
The vampires were done hiding. It was now the time to strike back. But to do this smoothly, he had to do something to solve the problem with the Zhou Family.
The Zhou Family was the only way they could go back to the Kingdom of Phantasia. All the other three gatekeepers have already sworn loyalty to the werewolves. The Zhou Family was their only hope left.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Raizel finally left the hospital, finalizing his next moves. He would ask his right-hand man to deal with this concern.
He would also investigate whether Grandpa Roland's granddaughter, Marceline, was on the vampire's side or on the werewolf's side so that he could proceed to his next plan.

[ Zhou Family Villa… ]
Meanwhile, the policemen were already investigating the crime scene where the three Zhou Family Guards were found dead.
They also gathered the CCTV recordings of the Villa. While they were gathering evidence on the scene, the investigators found a letter in the pocket of the head guard.
They were surprised when they read the content of the letter. It was the suicide note of Marceline Zhou.
"What? The heiress committed suicide? But why is it that this letter was in possession of the head guard?" The team leader was puzzled by this.
The head butler was stupefied when he heard that. "What do you mean, officer? What suicide?"
"Where is Miss Marceline Zhou? Where did you last see her?" The team leader asked the head butler curiously.
"Patriarch Zhou was admitted to the hospital. I think our young miss is there, watching over him," the head butler responded.
"Why are you looking for my niece?" Ronan's voice was heard. He had just arrived at the mansion.
The police officer greeted Ronan politely before giving Marceline's suicide letter to Ronan.
"Take a look at this, Mr. Zhou. This is your niece's suicide note."
Ronan froze in his spot when he read the suicide note. His eyes were filled with doubt and disbelief.
'Marceline took her life? This is unbelievable!? Is this true?'
