Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 712 - Help me, help her too!

Chapter 712: Help me, help her too! (Part One)

Chekhov couldn’t help but walk in and say to Xu Cheng, “Sister-in-law asked us to tell you before she died that she didn’t regret being with you, and that she didn’t want to be a burden to you, so…”

Xu Cheng embraced Lin Chuxue in his arms without an expression, and he said to Chekhov in an ice cold tone, “So you let her die in front of you, right?”.

“I…” Chekhov didn’t know what to say at once.

“Get out!” Xu Cheng then said softly, “I don’t want to have a fight with my own people before the enemies die. So get out of here!”

Mario came in and pulled Chekhov out.

Xu Cheng sat there on the white bed with Lin Chuxue’s body in his arms the whole time, he just sat there quietly without a word.

“I won’t let you die, Little Xue.” Xu Cheng was rapidly thinking of a plan on how to save Lin Chuxue, and although he couldn’t think of one, he mumbled repet.i.tively, “No! No Little Xue, I won’t let you die.”

He sat there for the rest of the afternoon, and he still had her body in his arms when it was close to the evening.

The staff members were ready to come in and close the funeral home, but Mario gave them a few hundred dollars to send them off.

In the evening, Lin Dong arrived with a bandaged arm and a cast on his leg.

“Where’s Master?”

Mario pointed inside of the funeral home.

Lin Dong gently pushed open the door and saw his master there. He sat there looking like a wood piece without a little bit of life in him, and Lin Dong swallowed back all the words as he was ready to close the door, thinking that it was better to leave him alone.

But when he was about to head out, Xu Cheng suddenly said, “Little Dong, you know the most about the genetics I taught you before, right?”

Lin Dong nodded and sighed, “Master, even you yourself have said that the head and the heart were the most important ones.”

“No.” Xu Cheng’s mind had already thought of a critical, yet adventurous and daring idea. “That is for the average person. Without any life-preserving genes in their body, stabbing the head or heart is indeed equivalent to death and would be difficult to save them. However, I am different, my body’s biggest trump card is the Tardigrade genes. It can protect me in the most dangerous time to let me enter into a false death state, and once I touch the water, they can immediately revive those necrotic cells of mine and bring me back to life quickly.”

Lin Dong’s face changed dramatically. “Master! Are you going to…?”

Xu Cheng looked down at Lin Chuxue’s face and said in spite of everything else, “I have no other choice.”

“No!” Lin Dong rejected his idea. “Master, although I don’t know much, but I know a little bit about genetics, I know how important the Tardigrade gene is to you, and how many researchers have not been able to transfer that gene into the human body for the past decades. You’re a miracle, and it’s that gene that kept all your other genes balanced without any disorder. Do you know what would happen if there are no Tardigrade genes in you?”

“I don’t know.” Xu Cheng said, “But I don’t want to know anymore. I only have two things I want to do in my whole life now, first, save Little Xue! Second, kill all those people including their families! If not, then let the Tardigrade genes stay in Little Xue’s body, so that even if something bad happens to her in the future, these genes will be able to protect her from death and that would be enough.”

Lin Dong: “The key question is whether it can be transferred over smoothly!”

Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, “Even if it can’t, it will have to!”

He looked at Lin Dong with bloodshot eyes. “Help me! I will transfuse my blood and the Tardigrade genes into her body, and I will provide her with all the blood that she lost from her brain, no matter how much she needs. You’re the only one among us who knows how to do this procedure.”

“I disagree!” Lin Dong snapped, “Even Lin Chuxue won’t agree, without the Tardigrade to balance out your genetic distinctions, have you ever thought of what kind of strange monster you’ll turn into?”

“I want her alive even if I turn into a monster!” Xu Cheng roared out, “This is the order of your Master! You cannot refuse!”

“I wouldn’t help you if I were dead!” Lin Dong insisted on his position.

Xu Cheng looked at him, not expecting that Lin Dong could be so insistent on principle, and with tears rolling down his eyes, he sighed, “Did Lin Chuxue treat you well? Don’t lie. “

“Yes!” Lin Dong gritted his teeth.

“Then help her!” Xu Cheng unprecedentedly had a pleading look at his disciple, he was always so strong and he did not expect to also have such a helpless moment.

Lin Dong looked at his master’s pleading eyes and to be honest, it was the first time his master seemed so vulnerable and helpless. He also said with bloodshot eyes, “Master, what if it doesn’t work? Then you’ll be screwed too. If there’s another fight like the one with Kush in the future, you won’t have the Tardigrade genes to protect you, don’t you see? Even if you saved your wife, what will happen to her if something happens to you? Isn’t she going to live in remorse and guilt?”

“This battle had nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end. If I didn’t expose my relationship with her then she wouldn’t have encountered so much harm, so I owe it to her,” Xu Cheng said firmly.

Lin Dong still insisted on his point of view. “Then what about us? What will we, who are considered mutants, do without your leadership? The others are not strong enough yet, and it would be difficult for them to protect themselves against the world if they were exposed. Master, there are so many of us who need you!”

“The country needs me too!” Xu Cheng said angrily, “But what can I do? I couldn’t even protect my own woman, and you want me to protect you? That would be a joke.”

Having said that, he gently put down Lin Chuxue’s body and stood in front of Lin Dong, pulling him from the back of his head with one hand as he said, “If something really bad happens to me, divide all my a.s.sets among the brothers; they will all get a share! If you sell the Mandala Lab’s technology and studio, it will be worth tens of billions of dollars, and each of you will get ten billion dollars, which would be enough for you to live freely. Forget about the Deviant Mercenary Corp, it had just begun anyways.”

Lin Dong was reluctant to do so with his bloodshot eyes.

“I’m begging you, Little Dong. I’ve never begged anyone before.” Xu Cheng sighed.

Lin Dong sobbed as he shook his head vigorously and choked, “Master…”

Xu Cheng gave him a phone number and said, “If something happens to me, go to this old man and he will teach you real kung fu. This is what I owe you for not being able to teach you properly.”

Having said that, Xu Cheng turned around and picked up Lin Chuxue’s corpse in his arms.

“Let’s go, shall we?”

Lin Dong struggled and finally compromised as he followed Xu Cheng out through another door.
