Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

“Xiao Qi said that the Second Prince’s team encountered a late-stage Level-4 mutated wood with a psychic core. Fortunately, the psychic in the Second Prince’s team is at the early stage of Level-5, so the other members are fine, but that psychic was severely injured,” the Hua De family head explained after asking Hua Deqi for details.

Hua Deyu stood up abruptly, looking worried. “Big brother, could you…”

The family head raised his right hand to interrupt Hua Deyu, calming him down. “The First Prince has already ordered Sage Physician Paul and Xiao Qi to fly over.”

Hearing that Sage Physician Paul was on the way, with Hua Deqi leading the team, Hua Deyu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the family head, “Big brother, please ask Xiao Qi to take good care of her.”

“The Second Prince is unharmed; the First Prince sent Sage Physician Paul specifically for her. As for why he asked Xiao Qi to go, can you guess the reason?” the family head said in a deep voice.

Hua Deyu’s expression changed slightly. “The First Prince, he…”

“The First Prince noticed her when the War Realm was launched. Her original data was shockingly high,” the family head continued. “I also saw that her spiritual value in the original attributes reached as high as 30 points. No wonder she’s already at the early stage of Level-5 at just fifteen years old.”

“Big brother, you discovered it so early,” Hua Deyu said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“When Xiao Qi investigated her, he noticed something unusual about her genetic sequence, and that’s how we found out. But the First Prince wanted her to focus solely on her training, so he decided that no one else should disturb her until she came of age. The First Prince has been keeping people around to protect her and providing her with various resources; otherwise, do you think it would have been so easy for her?” The Hua De family headshot him with a sharp glance. Not being a fool but doing foolish things was even more infuriating.

“It’s my fault. When I heard the child was gone, I didn’t investigate thoroughly,” Hua Deyu said, holding his head in pain. “But Xiao Li… if he finds out…”

The family head felt a headache coming on. That was precisely what he was worried about…

The two cousins were talking, having forgotten about the three elders nearby, who were staring at them intently, along with two other cousins, until they heard a knock on the table.

“What are you talking about?” the Grand Elder asked, squinting his eyes, his imposing presence making the two momentarily breathless.

Oh no, they had let something slip! What now? These old men are not easy to deal with, and when they get stubborn, not even the First Prince can hold them back. It wouldn’t be that he didn’t want to keep his promise then, the family head thought, crying out in his heart.

Meanwhile, after ending his communication with Hua Deqi, the First Prince was about to go find his father to have a serious talk about this matter when, unexpectedly, he received another communication from his younger brother.

“I’ve asked Major Hua De to bring Dr. Saint Paul over. You will be in charge of the treatment arrangements. If you need anything, contact me again,” the First Prince said in response to his younger brother’s request. “Also, have Dr. Saint Paul examine you too.”

“However…” the First Prince’s tone suddenly turned severe as he continued, “This situation should never have become so serious. Reflect on how many mistakes you made in this matter that shouldn’t have happened, and think about how you will write your report to me once you return.”

Upon hearing his brother’s reprimand, Hebrew Adam didn’t respond with the usual defiant attitude. Instead, he quietly acknowledged, “Yes.”

After ending the call with his older brother, Hebrew Adam stood still for a moment. His brother’s words hinted that there was indeed a conspiracy at play and that his brother was investigating it.

He couldn’t deny the immense relief he felt, knowing this had nothing to do with his brother.

With Dr. Saint Paul arriving soon to treat Ruo Manni, Hebrew Adam felt another wave of relief wash over him.

However, upon returning to the medical room, he looked at the pale, fragile girl lying unconscious in the treatment pod. Then, he glanced at the other team members, who were standing around the pod, looking anxious and uneasy. His heart clenched tightly again, and he felt a deep hatred for his own lack of strength.

This time, he had dragged his teammates down with him, lacking the ability to solve the problem on his own. Not only did he have to rely on his teammates to step in, but his mistake also caused one of his comrades to be seriously injured.

“Captain, how is it?” Sheila asked anxiously, noticing how grim Hebrew Adam’s face looked. Could it be that they couldn’t get Dr. Saint Paul to help?

Hebrew Adam nodded. “They’ve already set off and are on their way.”

Hearing this, Sheila felt a huge weight lift from her heart. As long as they could get Dr. Saint Paul, Ruo Manni would be saved, and she wouldn’t have to leave her teammates.

Touched, Sheila said, “Your Highness, the First Prince treats you so well.”

Everyone in the imperial capital’s noble circles knew that two years ago, Dr. Saint Paul had almost been killed, and it was the First Prince who saved him and his family. Since then, Dr. Saint Paul had devoted himself to researching medicine in seclusion and had refused to treat anyone.

For the First Prince to be able to persuade Dr. Saint Paul to help the Second Prince, it must be out of deep care for him.

However, Sheila spoke too quickly and bluntly, forgetting that the Second Prince disliked people mentioning the First Prince in his presence. Realizing her mistake, she felt uneasy and nervously observed Hebrew Adam’s expression. Seeing that he wasn’t angry, she finally felt relieved.

Hebrew Adam did not notice Sheila’s small expression, but her words resonated deeply with him. His elder brother was undoubtedly looking out for him, so he believed that his brother would surely uncover the truth behind this incident.

The capital city was actually quite close to this island. While it took the military cadets over an hour to fly here, it took Hua Deqi just over twenty minutes to arrive.

Seeing that the Second Prince had indeed managed to bring Dr. Saint Paul here, the accompanying military doctor from the Xuan Gu  First Military Academy was invigorated and followed respectfully behind Dr. Saint Paul as his assistant.

“The diagnosis is correct. Without better treatment resources, this conservative approach is the best option and will be very beneficial for subsequent treatment,” Dr. Saint Paul said approvingly after examining the patient, praising his assistant, the school doctor.

The assistant’s eyes lit up as if he had just received high praise, looking nothing like the reputedly sharp-tongued and cold-hearted school doctor the cadets of the Xuan Gu First Military Academy had described.

“Saint Paul, how is this young student’s condition?” Hua Deqi asked, his tone calm, but his heart filled with concern. The injury appeared to be quite severe.

“This child’s mental power source is probably immense; a rare genius, indeed. But she’s still too young and doesn’t know how to protect herself. While saving her teammates is undoubtedly important, she must also learn to protect herself. Why haven’t you teachers taught her such a crucial lesson?” Dr. Saint Paul grumbled discontentedly.

Instructor Dudley was filled with guilt; as the training instructor, he bore the greatest responsibility for this incident.

When Dr. Saint Paul had just boarded the warship, his hair was white, and his expression was stern, bordering on cold. For patients or their loved ones, this was the most intimidating type of doctor.

Who would have thought that such a famous doctor, known for being a tough nut to crack and hard to invite, would actually be an old man who loved to nag? Although this shattered everyone’s expectations, it also made them breathe a sigh of relief.

“If it weren’t for the fact that I developed a new type of medicine over the past two years, such a talented child wouldn’t be able to train for at least a few years. That would have wasted her excellent potential and harmed the child,” Dr. Saint Paul continued to ramble.

“So, does that mean she can recover quickly?” Hebrew Adam asked excitedly, and his teammates also looked at Dr. Saint Paul with eager expressions.
