Chapter 138 Female Elite
As Stephanie was chatting with Lana and Ruby, Caspian sneakily went to settle any outstanding payments for Lana and Elias.
He wanted the injured folks to relax and continue to recuperate in peace.
He understood that Lana’s family had bled themselves dry in order to pay for her stay at the hospital, so he took out 50 thousand dollars in cash as a gift for them.
He then returned to Lana’s ward and gave half of the money to Ruby.
Ruby had naturally refused the money but eventually accepted it after multiple attempts of convincing.
His gift of money was actually very much needed for Ruby and her family.
She and her daughter were immensely grateful for his generosity.
Caspian wanted to give them the entire sum but was worried they might feel uncomfortable about receiving such a huge amount.
After he left the room, he decided to give the rest of the money to Stephanie.
It was not Stephanie’s first rodeo with Caspian, and she really needed the money as well, so she gratefully accepted his aid.
They both then returned to Elias‘ ward to keep him company.
At 4:00 pm, Caspian finally received a call from Sylvia.
He excused himself from the room before picking up the call.
“Caspian, all 30 elites and a military doctor have arrived at Southlake City,” reported Sylvia.
“Who’s the good doctor?” asked Caspian.
“It is none other than Avon Long.”
He nodded his head with satisfaction as Avon was second to none when it came to medical
expertise.
His skills were considered divine, and his efforts in the war in South Aridlands were legendary. All sorts of grievous injuries seen on the battlefield were mere child’s play in front of Avon. Lana’s injuries would be a piece of cake for him.
“Caspian, your orders?” asked Sylvia.
The investigative team was still gathering information about all the evil–doers active within Southlake City.

‘Bring Avon to the Southlake Hospital. And as for the elites, prepare some lodging in an appropriate hotel. I’ll send them for a mission later,” instructed Caspian.
“Yes, sir. Caspian, I’ve something I’d like to personally report about.”
“Just speak your mind.”
‘Among the 30 elites dispatched, one of them is a woman. I’ve absolutely no idea what Julian was thinking when sending her in.”
Generally speaking, a dispatched elite troop usually consisted of only male combatants as it was the more convenient option in all aspects, such as accommodation and food.
A single female combatant alone would hinder the team with specialized requests and separate accommodation.
“Who is it?” asked Caspian.
“It’s Macy Osborne,” answered Sylvia.
Caspian was taken aback when he heard that because he had long disliked Macy.
Macy Osborne was a junior to Sylvia by service time, and both her appearance and abilities were highly regarded by everyone.
Caspian figured that she might even be stronger than Sylvia.
Previously, in a tournament, Macy had defeated all of her challengers, including the fellow men who were deployed alongside her to Southlake City right now.
He valued her strength, but her arrogance would prove troublesome as she once challenged Caspian to a duel.
Caspian had felt disrespected to be challenged by a woman for his title as the Diatoranian God
of War.
Macy then had to settle for a fight with Sylvia instead, and it had taken Sylvia all her strength to come to a draw with Macy.
With how much time had passed since then, he figured that she must have gotten even
stronger.
Although Macy’s strength was undeniably powerful, she wasn’t considered the sharpest tool in the shed. She wasn’t a good commander, and she had often disregarded orders from her superiors and had remained merely an elite combatant for a long time.
She had even ignored Caspian’s orders back then, but she had never made any major mistakes or wrongdoings. He couldn’t punish her for simply ignoring his orders.
“Why is she here?”

Caspian was in disbelief.
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well, Caspian. I’ve been trying to get in contact with Julian ever since.”
Even Sylvia sounded like she was utterly done with life as they talked about the troublesome soldier.
She recalled her battle with Macy back then and still felt anxious about it as she had almost lost the duel.
Caspian replied, “f**k it. Whatever. I’m sure she ignored Julian’s commands and tagged along on her own accord. Just make sure she never calls me Lord Caspian out in public.”
“I understand. I’ll bring Avon to the hospital soon.”
Ten minutes later, Sylvia arrived with Avon at Southlake Hospital.
The two of them joined Caspian to meet up with the director of the hospital and made their intentions known.
Avon had also brought along his identification and certificates as a medical expert.
The director willingly provided full cooperation for the opportunity to work with such a skillful military doctor.
After that, Avon went to Lana’s ward to visit her.
“What do you think, Avon?” asked Caspian.
No Prob
whatsoever. I’ll have her fixed up in two weeks. I guarantee it, Caspian,”
answered Avon with confidence.
He had saved countless soldiers from the brink of death throughout the decade he was of service to the troops. Lana’s injuries were nothing compared to all he had achieved.
There was no patient that Avon couldn’t cure.
Caspian nodded in satisfaction as he fully believed in Avon’s abilities.
Lana couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Are you serious? I’ll be fully recovered in two weeks?”
“Every doctor had said that she would never stand up again for the rest of her life. Are you really sure you can give her a complete recovery in two weeks?” asked Ruby in disbelief.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Thomas. I believe in Avon’s abilities. He has saved countless of my comrades from the brink of death. I’m sure he can also save your daughter,” answered Caspian.
Ruby started to cry tears of joy. “Thank you! Oh, thank you! I’m eternally grateful if you can

She was grateful enough for the help coming from Caspian and Avon in these dire times.
Caspian then brought Avon over to visit Elias. Avon quickly concluded that treating a broken leg would be an even easier job for him.
As Avon was examining Elias for his injuries, a woman with an exquisite figure dressed in military camo arrived outside the room.
