Chapter 240 Warning
That night, the Imperial Hospital was in chaos.
Not only were the precious treasures in the alchemy room looted, but even Jake and Derek, who guarded the Imperial Hospital, were heavily injured and nearly lost their lives.
Facing such a formidable enemy, everyone in the Imperial Hospital was shocked.
Especially the chief manager, Mark, his face turned gloomy.
He had intended to steal the elixir formula but ended up with nothing. Instead, the Imperial Hospital was robbed, and the precious treasures accumulated over the years were looted.
Mark highly suspected that the thief who came to rob this time was related to Leones.
Unfortunately, no one saw the thief’s appearance clearly, and even the surveillance footage showed nothing.
Mark wanted Jake and Derek to testify, but Derek was seriously injured and unconscious, while Jake remained silent and refused to disclose any information about the person they fought against.
Jake didn’t want to be enemies with such a powerful expert again and didn’t want to get involved in this matter anymore. He was also grateful for that young man sparing his life and chose to remain silent and watch from the sidelines.
As for Mark, even if he wanted to report Leones to the authorities, he had no evidence.
“Mr. Scott, we can still sue Leones even if we don’t have evidence. If we can find something in his house tonight, we will catch him red–handed!”
Someone suggested to Mark and supported the idea of reporting Leones to the authorities.
After all, with such great losses, how could they just swallow their pride?
Since there was a suspect, they should pursue it to the end!
“Okay!”
Mark agreed and prepared to sue Leones.
“What’s going on? Why is it so chaotic?”
George, known as the surgical expert, had returned.
Seeing George returning, Mark immediately thought George had visited the Sherland Government to treat its president’s injuries. Now that their Imperial Hospital needed assistance from the Sherland Government to capture Leones, it was perfect timing.
“Mr. Kallis, you’ve come back just in time!” Mark asked eagerly, “How did it go when you were treating Mr. Jeremy Timon’s injury?”
“Don’t mention it…” George sighed heavily at the mention of it, reminiscing about his defeat. “By the way, Mr. Scott, there’s something I don’t understand and want to ask you.”
“What is it?” Mark was taken aback. He didn’t expect George to have a setback.
He had originally wanted to use George’s success in curing Jeremy’s injury as an advantage and request assistance from the Sherland Government to investigate Leones.
“Is the Imperial Hospital planning to purchase the elixirs that can cure all illnesses at a high price from a person named Leones?” George asked.
“Huh? Mr. Kallis, you’re also aware of this?” Mark forced a bitter smile. “But unfortunately, that

brat has refused! Moreover…”
“This is true?” George sighed deeply upon hearing this.
“Mr. Kallis, what’s wrong with you?” Mark’s words were interrupted by George’s sigh. He wondered what had happened to George over at the Sherland Government.
“I witnessed the effect of that elixir today,” George admitted sincerely, “It truly is a rare medicine that can cure all illnesses. I couldn’t completely heal Mr. Jeremy Timon’s injury, but that elixir easily healed him!”
Mark was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
“Mr. Jeremy Timon’s injury… was actually healed by that brat’s elixir!?” He exclaimed.
Now, Mark’s plan of using George’s involvement to seek assistance from the Sherland Government was completely ruined.
“And I also heard…” George continued, “That you threatened Leones, saying that if he didn’t give his elixirs to our Imperial Hospital, he couldn’t sell them to anyone else!
“Is that true?”
George disdained such behavior.
Mark might not be as talented as Leones, but how could he resort to such despicable means to cause trouble behind the scenes?
“Well…” Mark was at a loss for words once again. He knew George’s character very well. If Mark told the truth, he would definitely be refuted and even looked down upon.
“Mr. Scott, there’s no need to explain,” George said. Seeing Mark’s expression, he had already reached his own conclusion. “Mr. Jeremy Timon and his son have already said that if our Imperial Hospital dares to harm Leones, the Sherland Government won’t sit idly by.
“In other words, the Sherland Government has become Leones‘ background support. You’d better look out for yourself!”
With these words, George turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Mark was dumbfounded again,
Now, not only did Mark not gain any favors from George, but even his plan to sue Leones was completely ruined.
After all, Leones might be shielded if the Sherland Government became his backing, even if the Imperial Hospital reported it to the authorities.
Mark was on the verge of going crazy. He thought, “Damn it!
You’re lucky, Leones! But don’t think that with the support of the Sherland Government, you can do whatever you want!”
Mark began to recall which high–ranking officials had come to the Imperial Hospital for treatment. Maybe he could ask them for help.
“Oh, yes! The royal family members!” Mark suddenly thought of the members of the royal family who often came to get medicine and received it for free.
Now, with so many precious medicinal materials stolen, he could ask them for assistance.
As long as someone from the royal family was willing to step forward, even the Sherland Government would have to give them face and investigate the matter.
Just as he was thinking, someone came to report, “Mr. Back has sent someone to deliver a message
to our Imperial Hospital.”
“Um? Mr. Back!?” Mark was overjoyed upon hearing this. He thought, “Could it be that Mr. Back already knows what happened here and sent someone to comfort us?
Haha, Mr. Back is considerate.
If Mr. Back personally intervenes, the truth will definitely be revealed.”
After all, David held a prominent position, ranking among the nine elders within the royal family. Even officials wouldn’t dare to neglect him.
“Speak quickly,” Mark said, “What message did Mr. Back bring?”
Mark waited for the comfort of David, but after hearing, he felt like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, extinguishing the hope in his heart completely.
“Mr. Back said that he will endorse Leones‘ elixirs and warns our Imperial Hospital not to harm Leones anymore.”
Mark stood still, completely stunned.
He never expected that Leones had already established connections with royal family members! Following that, various ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Finance, and the Department of Inspection also released statements one after another, pledging their full support for Leones‘ elixirs and condemning the Imperial Hospital for impeding the development of fellow practitioners.
Now, Mark was completely scared.
He had thought Leones was just a lone wolf, easy to deal with.
But unexpectedly, within a day, so many big shots and forces appeared to support him and endorse him.
Now, not only did the Imperial Hospital lose hope in obtaining the elixir formula, but they also lost a large sum of money. They had no place to seek justice and could only swallow the loss themselves.
Mark was at a loss for words.
It was self–defeating. He felt indescribable bitterness.
