Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"…You are…Mr. David Axus?"

Dr. Sander Berg's voice came over the phone.

"Yes, Dr. Berg. I have brought the patient here, and I have also collected the million pounds. Can the treatment you mentioned last time be used now?"

"Sure! As long as the funds are in place, everything will be fine! Ah, do we need to be admitted to the hospital now?"

"Of course! My wife needs emergency treatment, she can't hold on any longer!"

"...But you didn't reserve a bed. As you know, we are a private hospital, so we have to pay an expedited fee..."

"I'll add money!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Axus, please come to the hospital immediately. I'll be waiting for you in the emergency room."

"...No, you come out."

"……what?"

"I told you to get out of the hospital! Come out and save my wife!!"

"No, Mr. Axus, calm down first. This is not in line with our corporate system, and according to your situation..."

"Don't you have a mobile ambulance? Don't you have helicopters and airships? Don't you say you can reach any corner of Loen?!"

"But, Mr. Axus, this VIP service is very expensive. I don't recommend you to subscribe to this service..."

"I'll add money!"

"No, Mr. Axus, you..."

"Come out quickly and heal my wife!!"

David was screaming hysterically on the phone.

"...Okay, Mr. Axus, I'll come to see you now. But I have to state in advance that this is a humanitarian operation based on my personal will and does not comply with company regulations, so I will not charge you for this private visit, and I cannot guarantee that I..."

Dr. Berg sighed helplessly.

"Okay, where are you? Let's take a look at the situation first."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Sander Berg arrived at where David and Olga were. Dr. Berg looked to be in his sixties or seventies, wearing a full set of protective clothing, with only a pair of small round glasses vaguely visible through the goggles. He arrived in a hurry, dragging a huge box.

"Mrs. Asaks, Mrs. Asaks? Goddess, how could she suddenly deteriorate to this state? My goddess..."

Dr. Berg was stunned by Olga's terrible condition. He immediately turned on the equipment and started rescue.

"Listen, Mr. Assacs, I understand that you have your own difficulties, but please forgive me for being blunt. Your wife must be hospitalized. I cannot use more hospital resources right now. Only if you are admitted to the hospital, can the real medical strength of Anmi Xingguang Hospital be used by you and me."

Dr. Berg, who was devoted to his work, gradually stopped paying attention to his wording because of the serious situation.

"You absolutely cannot afford a dedicated medical team to provide you with personal care, even a team capable of treating this rare disease, even if you have a million pounds now. Moreover, it is not only your wife who needs treatment now. I strongly recommend that you receive psychiatric treatment. Your problem is also imminent."

"But the good news is that you really have one million pounds now, so you can go through the procedures for hospitalization immediately. I won't ask why you don't want to go to the hospital, but we can provide you with some special means to create files for you and your wife. We are very familiar with this kind of business, and we will keep it strictly confidential..."

Dr. Berg smiled self-deprecatingly.

"After all, we are a business, and as a business we always focus on money."

As long as you have money, identity and illness are not a problem.

"...Okay, process the formalities for my wife right away!"

"Mr. Assacs, are you sure you don't want any psychiatric medication?"

"I said no! Just call a car to take my wife away and then get lost!"

Dr. Berg sighed, took out the machine, and quickly and skillfully registered the order, then took out the instrument and pointed it at David.

"Look here, pay first."

Click.

Payment Fail.

David was shocked and snatched Dr. Berg's computer, which showed that all of his Loen Bank accounts were frozen.

"Damn! Where are the cards?"

He hurriedly took out a pile of cards and watched Dr. Berg check the cards one by one with a serious look.

Bearer accounts, Gustav Group, Backlund James Bank, signed checks, and even those cash cards that only circulate on the black market...

Dr. Berg did not ask a single question about the cards.

"Some of these are also frozen, some are empty cards, two are fake, and this one is a trap card. How can this one be a game coin..."

"You've been tricked, Mr. Axus. You are extremely lacking in financial knowledge. Apparently, after you got these cards, someone immediately operated on them and is now able to withdraw some of them..."

“How many more are there?”

"Less than two hundred thousand pounds..."

David suddenly jumped up, pulled out his police pistol, pointed it at Dr. Berg, and yelled in his face.

"I don't care! I'll give it all to you! You have to save my Olga!"

"Sir, listen to me..."

Bang! !

The wall next to the cabin collapsed instantly, and two guards wearing sophisticated exoskeletons walked out of the smoke and dust, aiming their guns at the hysterical David.

"Doctor Sander Berg, you have been away from your post for more than an hour without reason and have used medical resources without reporting to the system. If you do not return to your post, your violation will be recorded and the resource loss caused by this violation will be deducted from your salary."

“Please remember that everything you use in your work is company property.”

"Sure enough, here we go again..."

Dr. Berg was obviously an old hand. He sighed, ignored David's pistol threat, and picked up Olga, who was bleeding from the ground.

"Look carefully, this is a patient of our hospital, and he has paid the fee."

Then he turned back to David.

"Two hundred thousand can only complete part of the treatment plan. The remaining long-term care is the bulk of the cost."

"I will take your wife away first. I will try to cure her as much as possible. You should find a way to get the money back as soon as possible."

"I won't ask you how you got the money, but next time, you must pay attention to transferring the money in time - this is a compulsory course for all desperadoes..."

A novice in asset transfer, a sudden huge sum of money, a police pistol pressed against his forehead, and a wife whose condition suddenly worsened...

The experienced Dr. Berg had guessed about 70% of the answer, but in the end he just sighed again.

There is nothing new about Backlund, he is just another pitiful man.

"Let's agree on a location. Before the money runs out, I'll make sure your wife is a registered patient at the Peaceful Starlight Hospital. After the money runs out, about a week later..."

"I'll take your wife to the agreed location."

"There's only so much I can do."

Believe him, my dear husband...

Olga's gentle whispers rang in David's ears.

Can we have a better solution?

……there is none left.

So, let me go.

I believe you will get more money.

…money…money…

The police pistol fell to the ground, and David slumped in the dilapidated house, watching Dr. Berg disappear from his sight holding his beloved wife.

When night fell, the distraught David finally stood up shakily.

My Olga... She has never left me. She accompanies me in wandering under the neon lights of the metropolis. She guides me to save him. She guides me to get more money...

David's eyes were dull as he muttered to himself as he walked to the foot of the towering luxury hotel, staring blankly at the advertising screen in the glass building.

"Brilliant Holiday Hotel, your first choice for travel and vacation, provides you with luxurious and comfortable hotel services from the Ishdar Group."

“The First Iris Mall provides you with the most high-end shopping experience, with treasures from all over the world, from the Ishdar Group.”

……

"Griffith School provides elite education for your children from an early age. It comes from the Ishdar Group."

...a school for the rich and powerful...Griffith School...

"Honey, I have a great plan."

Olga's sweet whispers rang out again.

"Why not blackmail the rich people?"

David suddenly woke up from his wooden bed.

The dazzling sunlight leaked out from the hole in the dilapidated house, becoming the only light in this abandoned room.

I dreamed of that day again...

David, awakened from a nightmare, rubbed his face and sat up from the bed. He was wearing dry clothes that he had stolen from the street during the chaos yesterday. His hands and feet felt indescribably comfortable. All the injuries he suffered from the collapse of the house a week ago had disappeared. Even David himself could not tell that he was a high-risk patient in the intensive care unit yesterday.

Today is the second day after the Harvest Church explosion.

In the chaos of yesterday's explosion, David suddenly woke up from his hospital bed and was surprised to find that he had recovered as before. He followed Olga's instructions and escaped.

Yes, I can always escape, I can always survive.

As a survivor of a kidnapping criminal gang, he felt no emotion towards the death of his companions, because those two were mercenaries captured on the black market, and only God knew how many lives they had taken.

Even though he had escaped the police's sight, he couldn't stop here. He needed to seize every moment.

Now, he has enough money.

"Good morning, my dear David."

Olga, whose skin was almost all ulcerated, lay quietly on the ground with an emerald green bracelet on her hand.

The first thing David did after escaping the hospital was to go to the place agreed with Dr. Berg. As expected, Olga had been thrown into an empty room by the people of the Quiet Starlight Hospital.

Olga's condition improved a lot after treatment. The special cloth covered most of Olga's skin, which should be the last gift from Dr. Berg. But it was far from enough.

As for the emerald green bracelet, it was something David accidentally brought out from the Earth Church Hospital. It seemed that he had been wearing the bracelet on his wrist during his coma.

Now David finally had time to take a closer look at the bracelet, and he discovered that this emerald green bracelet was actually a long candy.

After thinking for a while, David took off the candy bracelet on Olga's hand, broke it apart bit by bit, and stuffed it into her mouth. He didn't know how long Olga had been waiting for him here, nor how long they would have to travel later, but it would be good to replenish her energy now.

After treatment at the church hospital, David is now very healthy. Even his mental state and thinking are much better than when he kidnapped the rich young master.

No...it's not just the church hospital. David, who had temporarily regained his senses, sorted out the situation at that time. He felt that just lying in the ICU for five days would not be able to completely heal his serious injuries, unless this church hospital really had magic.

David touched his arm and pulled an empty injection from his pocket.

Someone gave him a shot before the explosion.

Then he woke up in the explosion.

Where does the other party come from? What does the other party want me to do?

Could it be... that he came for my money?

"Good morning, my dear Olga."

We have great things to do to heal you and for our money.
