"Samuel, how are you?"
When Nicole saw Samuel suddenly kneel on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Samuel felt that his chest was burning, as if something was about to burst out yet was unable to break
free due to an obstacle. His entire body convulsed at the feeling of tearing.
"Samuel!"
Because of the pain, Samuel looked awful, and he almost threw Jarrod away.
Amelia hurriedly supported Jarrod, while Nicole held Samuel's arm.
"Are you alright? Is there something wrong?"
Samuel's face was extremely pale, and beads of sweat continuously dripped onto the ground. In the
pain, he felt that the Golden Bug in his body seemed to have some sort of connection with Jarrod.
'Could it be…?'
A doubt flashed in his mind.
Almost subconsciously, Samuel used a dagger to cut his wrist, and drops of red blood dripped into
Jarrod's mouth.
The smell of blood stimulated Jarrod, who subconsciously opened his mouth and drank Samuel's
blood. He looked like someone who had been thirsty for a long time.
This scene was a bit bloody and strange, but no one spoke. Nicole only looked at Samuel with great
concern. As his blood dripped into Jarrod's mouth, Samuel seemed to have an even paler face.
After Jarrod drank for a while, Samuel couldn't hold on any longer. Nicole quickly pressed down on
Jarrod's neck, causing him to faint while his expression was slightly better. Samuel, however, was on
the verge of collapse.
Amelia quickly carried Jarrod from Samuel's embrace, while Nicole supported Samuel.
"How is it? Are you alright?"
"Not bad. Let's go."
Samuel nodded.
He glanced at Jarrod and found that Jarrod's complexion became a little rosy. He then whispered, "If
my guess is correct, there should be a Golden Bug in his body. When two Golden Bugs meet, it is like
two men riding on a horse, which will lead to some reaction. I used my blood to suppress the poisonous
bug inside him and temporarily relieve him a little, but we still need to find Joseph to really relieve it. We
don't know when the people outside will be able to enter, so hurry back."
"Alright."
Nicole nodded.
Amelia glanced at Samuel and then at Jarrod, then she silently helped Jarrod out.
Along the way, the four of them did not say anything. After leaving the secret passage, they returned to
Emory's barracks. Joseph and Zoe had been brought over.
Juliana also followed them over.
"Quick, have a look at Jarrod."
Samuel was a little anxious.
Nicole was worried about Samuel's health, though. She asked the other doctors to prescribe some
hematinic for Samuel.
Joseph quickly rushed over.
Seeing Jarrod's situation, he said with seriousness, "It should be a Golden Bug. I don't know much
about the Golden Bug. He needs my master."
Samuel's face turned gloomy.
He recalled his original plan.
"Morgan is still in the Harper Town? How is the situation over there?"
"Aaron has trapped Morgan in the Harper Town, but he's unable to attack in. The two sides are stuck in
a deadlock and the situation has reached fever pitch."
Emory had come in. He answered Samuel's question.
Samuel frowned.
He knew that he hadn't given Morgan a single soldier. It must have been difficult for Morgan to hold on
through these days.
"Bring our bodyguards along. Call Morgan and ask her to cooperate with us to take down Aaron."
At this juncture, Samuel felt that there was no need to let Aaron off.
Emory hurriedly said, "My men are also in."
He was also determined to capture Aaron.
Samuel nodded. He was going to stand up and act together with them when Nicole stopped him.
"Can you do it in your current situation? Why don't I go?"
"You stay here and take care of them. I'll be fine."
Samuel looked at Nicole tenderly and whispered.
The more he experienced, the more he valued the person in front of him. No matter what, he would
take good care of himself for Nicole.
Seeing that she could not stop Samuel, Nicole asked someone to bring over the hematinic soup.
"Drink it before you leave."
"Alright."
Samuel petted Nicole on her head and gulped down the soup in her hand. Then, he felt a warm kiss
from her.
This was the first time Nicole had kissed Samuel in front of everyone. Samuel was stunned for a
moment. He felt tingled all over his body. He even wanted to carry her into the room and do something
without caring about anything else.
Samuel's blood was burning and boiling. He tightly hugged Nicole with firm arms, wishing to rub her
into his body.
Nicole also began to breathe fast, but she still pushed Samuel away, her face blushing like a ripe
peach.
Around them were all men, whose blood was boiling with excitement.
Emory coughed and said to Samuel, "Alright. You should be good to go. Stop your PDA."
Samuel smiled like a child. His smile was dazzling, making people envious from the bottom of their
hearts.
"Wait at home until I come back."
"Alright, be careful."
Nicole nodded shyly.
Samuel led the others to walk out with happiness all over his body.
Amelia had been taking care of Jarrod. When she saw the interaction between Samuel and Nicole, her
eyes couldn't help but turn red.
When Jarrod was on a mission, she also waited for Jarrod's return like Nicole. But would Jarrod come
back to her this time?
Not knowing the result, she was worried.
Jarrod had been asleep, but his complexion was much better than before, and his breath had
stabilized.
Amelia guarded Jarrod without any rest, and she did everything for him by herself.
Nicole was really afraid that Amelia would be tired out. She persuaded Amelia many times, but Amelia
wouldn't leave Jarrod. So Nicole had no choice but to stay by Amelia and watch.
Samuel took his bodyguards and Emory's men to the Harper Town. They joined forces with Morgan,
attacked from both sides and finally defeated Aaron's team. In the process of capturing Aaron, Samuel
was injured in the arm, but in the end, he still pulled Aaron to the ground.
"Don't move!"
Samuel's expression was sullen and frighteningly cold.
It was this man who brought disasters to the Harper Town, annihilated the entire town, confused Zama,
and even treated Jarrod with such ruthlessness.
Samuel wished to kill Aaron now, but he couldn't.
Aaron never imagined that he would lose to Samuel. Struggling unwillingly, he stared at Samuel with
bloody eyes and said coldly, "Little bastard, I should have killed you at the beginning. I should have
strangled you once you were born."
"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance."
Samuel hacked Aaron unconscious with his hand, then he saw Morgan coming out from inside.
Apparently, she was also here with someone.
Samuel was slightly stunned when he saw Sally. Then he immediately understood everything.
"You actually worked together. That's rare."
"She promised me that she'll take me to William."
Sally was a little tired.
Samuel immediately understood it and looked at Morgan with a complex expression.
"You know where William is? Why didn't you tell me?"
Morgan didn't know how to answer Samuel, so she could only remain silent.
Seeing her reaction, Samuel did not make things difficult for her anymore. Instead, he said indifferently,
"Come with me to save someone who's controlled by a Golden Bug."
Upon hearing this, Morgan was stunned.
"Golden Bug? Aren't Golden Bugs only available to the head? There were only three in the Harper
Town, but there's only one left for me to give to the head, while the other two...."
"It's my elder brother Jarrod."
With that, Samuel turned around and left.
The others lifted Aaron up and threw him into the ancestral hall of the Harper Town.
The majority couldn't enter Emory's barracks. If too many people knew about the place, the ore deposit
would be exposed.
Samuel had someone bring Jarrod and the others out.
Zoe and Juliana were left at Emory's, while Joseph, Jarrod, Amelia and Nicole returned to the Harper
Town.
Morgan was slightly stunned when she saw Joseph, then she went to Jarrod's room.
"How is it? Is there a way?"
Samuel was very worried.
Although Amelia did not say anything, she also stared nervously at Morgan.
Morgan checked Jarrod and said in a low voice, "Yes, he's fine. The Golden Bug is the king of bugs. It
can eliminate all the poisonous bugs in his body, while it is not harmful to him. The reason why he is
unconscious is that his body can't withstand it and hasn't completely accepted the Golden Bug yet. As
long as the Golden Bug is fully accepted, he will wake up."
Hearing Morgan's words, Samuel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you're saying that the Golden Bug in my body is fine?"
Samuel had always thought that his Golden Bug would bring him great harm. After all, this feeling was
not good. So when he heard Morgan say that the Golden Bug was beneficial instead of harmful, he
couldn't help but ask her.
Morgan was going to say something, but she didn't. Still, she nodded.
Seeing that Jarrod was steady, Nicole persuaded Amelia to take a rest. Amelia refused to leave, so
Nicole could only ask someone to put another bed in the room and arranged for Amelia to rest.
After everything was settled, Nicole pulled Samuel back to her room.
"Are you alright? I smell blood. Were you hurt?"
Nicole looked at Samuel worriedly, towards which Samuel was both happy and speechless.
"It's just a minor flesh wound. It's fine."
"Let me have a look."
Nicole reached out and untied Samuel's coat, but Samuel held her small hand.
"Darling, I'm not used to you being so unrestrained in broad daylight."
"Stop it. Hurry up and show me."
Nicole patted off Samuel's hand and untied his clothes. Although the scratch wasn't very serious,
Nicole's eyes still turned red because she was concerned.
"Did you catch Aaron?"
"Yes."
"That's good. We can finally relax a bit."
As Nicole spoke, she applied medicine to Samuel, her eyes still red.
Knowing that Nicole had been frightened along the way, Samuel hurriedly hugged her and whispered,
"Let's go and meet William tomorrow."
Nicole instantly froze at his words.
