Chapter 226
Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen
226 Disturbance
Selma Payneâs POV:
The wilderness immediately became bare, accompanied by black holes, like an old ladyâs needle insertion.
âWhat should we do with these holes? Is there any way to recover?â I didnât know anything about this.
Dorothy did not know either, âGenerally speaking, the soul has its self-repairing ability and can slowly repair its damage. However, looking at Captain Frankâs current state, itâs impossible to count on his soul to heal itself. Iâd better ask Master Kevin and the others if they have any good ideas.â
We exited the spiritual world and opened our eyes to dozens of worried eyes.
The wooden boards that acted as the walls of the ward were gone.
âWhatâs going on?â I looked at Master Mary. âWhereâs the ward?â
âThat, you have to ask yourself.â Master Mary said dryly, âA strong energy suddenly erupted from your body and instantly collapsed the ward earlier. Fortunately, the team members caught the falling wooden board in time. Otherwise, there would be four more patients on the bed.â
âOh, wow.â
I was a little embarrassed as I realized that the explosion of the demonic shard in the river had caused the impact.
Without waiting for me to explain, an impatient member asked, âHowâs the captain?â
âThe curse has been successfully removed, but it still inevitably caused damage to the soul.â I extended my hands and worked with Master Kevin to wipe away the runes drawn with special paint. âSince this is only a soul fragment of Captain Frank, we canât predict what effect this will have on him. The best result is that his soul can use its recovery ability to repair itself, and the worst result is that Captain Frank may suffer from soullessness. The aftereffects are unpredictable, and they can be big or small.â
The team members celebrated excitedly when they heard that Frankâs life was saved. However, the celebration immediately became a commotion when I mentioned that there would be side effects.
Suddenly, someone said, âBut you said you could cure Captain Frank!â
This immediately attracted the support of many people, and as expected, it was Yuri again.
I was too tired to argue with him. As I was about to help Master Kevin set up the ward for follow-up examinations, Yuri pulled me back.
âYou said you could save him!â His eyes were as red as a bull in a Spanish bullring. âBut he was still hurt! You lied to us! You canât even protect Captain Frank! I donât trust you to get close to him!â
The crowd behind him immediately voiced their support, trying in vain to isolate me from the hospital bed, as if this would make Frank sit up and jump up and praise their wisdom.
In the face of chaos, Master Mary angrily stopped them. âEnough! Please donât bug me like a hooligan. Know your place! Such an act is simply a disgrace to the werewolf warriors! Captain Frank needs follow-up treatment and rest now. You can either come up and help rebuild the ward or get out and enjoy the cold wind to wake up!â
But this time, her words didnât have the authority she had in the past. The agitated team members saw her as my ally and decided not to listen to her orders.
Surrounded by the crowd, Yuri was like a king who had just ascended to the throne, with a subtle sense of pride hidden in his grief and anger.
âYou should say this to yourself, Master Mary,â he said contemptuously. âDo you know your place? He was the leader of the werewolf grandmaster team and an external staff member of the advance party. Youâre just a support worker, do your research well. You donât have the right to give orders to battle-hardened soldiers!â
With his silent consent, his supporters protected Captain Frank even more tightly and even pushed Master Kevin away.
Master Mary was speechless and didnât expect him to be such a b*stard.
The people in the third base were divided into two factions. The first faction was Yuriâs party. They were resentful, and their actions were radical. It was as if they saw Dorothy and me as the main culprits of all disasters. They couldnât wait to sacrifice us to this strange snow mountain in exchange for safety.
The other faction didnât stand on our side. They were shocked and confused, not understanding how things had developed into such a state of mutual hostility.
The senior Kerner stood up and said, âEverything can be discussed, Yuri. The most important thing now is to get the werewolf grandmasters to examine Captain Frank. As you have heard, the captainâs soul, which is riddled with holes, is in danger. This is the field of expertise of the werewolf grandmasters. We have to let them do it. â
âCome on, Kerner,â Yuri said. âDonât act like a good senior. Do you think I donât know that these hypocritical nobles and scholars have bought over you? Youâre lucky to meet a âgood teacherâ who can help you train your medical skills in this barren mountain. I donât know if you can use the sorcery of those heretics without any magic power!â
Kerner and the other members, who were still in shock, were also angry.
âDonât be such a jerk!â A few team members stood up and said, âEveryone is concerned about the captainâs safety. Do you think itâll work if you keep the werewolf grandmasters away by pestering them? Either you can heal the captain, or you should quickly make way for someone who can heal the captain!â
