Chapter 2505: Helplessness

Chapter 2505 -2506: Helplessness

Although Lin Chen was seriously injured and locked up in the cell, he never considered surrendering. He covered his chest with his hand, bit his lip, and tried to sit up slowly.

Lin Chen wanted to exert all his strength to run his internal power, but found that all vitality had completely disappeared and could not be reassembled. Now, he had become a cripple.

His Dantian was completely destroyed; even if he had the Supreme Body, what could he do? He could only silently endure the incomparable pain.

Footsteps echoed in the narrow and dark corridor. He slowly opened his eyes and looked over, finding the physician slowly approaching.

When Lin Chen saw the physician, his eyes no longer held the feeling they once did. Instead, there was more disgust and disdain.

“Are you feeling very painful now?” the physician asked, showing some guilt in his eyes, not daring to look directly at Lin Chen.

“Indeed, I do feel painful now, but my pain is not because of my body. It’s because I chose to trust the wrong person, you.”

Lin Chen never thought that the one who destroyed his Dantian with his own hands would be the person he trusted the most back then. Because the other person had once saved his life, he had trusted him completely, but who knew he led him down a path of no return.

The old man put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the cell.

“Do you think I wanted to lock you up? I was also helpless.”

The physician’s point of view made him sneer. Why make excuses for his cowardice and incompetence? If it weren’t for him, would he now be a cripple?

“Do you know that you cannot die now because you don’t even have the qualification to die? Your Supreme Body has even more important roles for the world.”

Inside Lin Chen, a deep disgust suddenly arose. He hated such sanctimonious existences the most—those who always talked about the world but, in reality, were narrow-minded, vicious hypocrites.

“You always talk about the world in front of me. I ask you, do you have the qualification to mention it?” Lin Chen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.

“I’m telling you, you should thank me; I saved you. If it weren’t for me, they would have killed you a long time ago. Do you understand?”

Faced with the absurd logic presented by this person in front of him, he was somewhat speechless. The fact that he could speak with such confidence was truly astonishing and impressive.

“To be honest, I really admire you. I didn’t expect you to speak so justifiably. Do you think sacrificing me is what you ought to do?”

The physician still maintained his calm, poised demeanor, not saying much. Standing there, who knew the bitterness and sorrow hidden behind him?

“Young man, do you think I don’t want to help you? I really want to lend you a hand, but I can’t.”

Lin Chen slowly lifted his head and then walked to the cell door, looking at the other person.

“Tell me, what’s stopping you? Is it your so-called reputation that makes you turn me into a cripple?”

After hearing this, he helplessly shook his head.

“You don’t need to be so extreme. You must understand, I’m really doing this for your good. If I could, I wouldn’t want to harm you.”

Lin Chen was no longer willing to continue arguing with this person in front of him.

“I don’t want to hear your nonsense anymore. I just hope you can do me a favor, can you?”

Although Lin Chen was not a pessimist, he clearly knew that his cultivation had been completely destroyed. The so-called judgment assembly a month later was just an excuse for all the righteous people to eliminate him.

Even though Lin Chen was young, he had a deep understanding of issues that surpassed many others. He could see at a glance the truth behind these events.

Zhou Lie seemed to be speaking to the heroes of the world, wanting to bring justice for himself. Yet, anyone could see the real motive hidden behind his actions.

Lin Chen was unsure whether the physician truly didn’t know or was just pretending not to know anything.

“Speak, I am indeed sorry for you. I will agree to any request you have.”

Lin Chen was particularly aware that Xiao Ying attacked him because she was poisoned.

Were it not for this matter, he would never be in this situation. Therefore, he hoped the person in front of him would agree to do him a favor.

“I hope you can do me a favor by removing the poison from Xiao Ying,” Lin Chen pleaded.

Throughout his life, Lin Chen had been decisive, fierce, never pleading with anyone. But now, for that girl, he had no choice but to ask for help.

Without hesitation, the physician agreed to his request.

“Rest assured, I will definitely make that brat get the antidote and restore the girl to normal.”

After saying this, the physician didn’t linger in the dark cell any longer. He turned around and left.

Lin Chen was left alone in the cell, suddenly deeply nostalgic for those past days. Unfortunately, he was now a prisoner of others.

Lin Chen’s greatest worry now was Xiao Ying’s safety. What becomes of him was of little concern to him.

“To be honest, this brat really has something special.”

“That’s true. Being able to defeat the legendary three Supremes is no small feat.”

…

Lin Chen overheard the soldiers guarding the cell commenting on him outside. A bitter smile formed in his heart. These matters had nothing to do with him, but the label had been unknowingly placed on his head.

Maybe in the past, Lin Chen would have thought about trying to explain, but now, he was no longer willing to speak on these matters, thinking it unnecessary.

If others truly wanted to misunderstand him, let them.

But Lin Chen was unaware that a real crisis was approaching, and all the forces hidden behind it were beyond his control.

“What about that guy? Anyway, a month from now, at the judgment assembly, those heroes will kill him.”

“That’s what I said.”

The two of them exchanged a glance and laughed together.
