Chapter 485 A Twist Of Events
“Amputation?” Zane shouted and immediately grabbed Terry’s arm. “I won’t agree with it! Quinton is only nineteen! How could
you amputate his arm? Give me the best solution possible. The Gomez family is rich enough to pay for anything—”

Slap!
Zane wanted to add more comments, but he was sent crashing onto the floor with a slap.
The person who slapped him was none other than the person next to him, Philip.
“Zane, do you even want Quinton to live?”
“But, Dad—”

“Shut up!” Philip roared and turned toward Terry. “Dr. Shaw, proceed with your suggestion. As long as you can save his life, I’m
willing to pay the price.”
With that, Terry brought his subordinates away and entered the infirmary.
After that, Zane got up from the floor and asked, “Dad, do you think we can pull it off?”
“Don’t worry.” Philip looked out the window and added, “Quinton mostly kept to himself. I doubt there are many who have seen
his true appearance. Besides, Arnold had already injured the face of the man in there. Apart from the people who knew Quinton
well, no one else could tell. Before I sent that man in, I had already damaged his arteries. That imposter will live less than ten
minutes on the operation table. I didn’t get Arnold to send Quinton to the place we’ve set up. I don’t even know where they are
heading to. It’s safest if we don’t know his location.”
Upon hearing that, Zane was on the verge of crying. “Dad, we—”
“Wait.” Philip inhaled deeply and said, “I would like to see who would win. Will it be the Osborne family or Jonathan?”
Philip then kept silent while staring at the garden outside the window. A few minutes later, everyone in the infirmary burst into
exclamations.
“Get the epinephrine injections!”
“Bring me the defibrillator!”
“Hemostatic forceps!”
Philip and Zane glanced at the entrance to the infirmary and breathed a sigh of relief. With the death certificate, Quinton is now
finally completely safe.
Meanwhile, all the workers on the highway of Lumonburg were removed because armed soldiers had taken over the highway.
“Get out of the car! Open up your luggage and show your ID card!”
“Didn’t you hear me? Get out of the car!”
“Leave now! You’re blocking the road! Next! Show your ID card. This is an inspection!”
The scene was chaotic, with soldiers screaming and shouting everywhere. All the vehicles exiting the city had to be inspected.

Besides the highway, the roads, airports, and bus stations were all guarded by soldiers.
Even the minor roads leading out of the city were guarded by soldiers with dogs.
After finding out that Finley was the one who attacked Jonathan, Hayes uploaded Finley’s message into their database.
At that moment, all the soldiers and police officers in Lumonburg were after Finley.
Hayes himself was also on the highway, carrying out inspections. After sizing up the driver in front of him, he shouted, “Go!
Next!”
After gaining permission to leave, the driver smiled, took his ID card, and sped off.
“Commander, you should just let us do the hard work! Why don’t you rest in the car?” one of his subordinates suggested.
“Bullsh*t!” Hayes fumed. “If you guys can’t manage to catch Finley tonight, you six division leaders are going to get punished
severely! F*ck you guys with your advanced technology! F*ck your infrared scanners and trackers! You can’t even locate a
person! You guys are f*cking useless!”
Hayes was getting very anxious because Jonathan had only given him till midnight to apprehend Finley. However, it was almost
nine, and they still couldn’t find Finley. Asura had been attacked in my territory by my subordinate and the weapon I issued. If I
don’t get this right, I won’t even mind losing the title of the King of Lumonburg because I would be too ashamed to face Mr.
Goldstein!
Based on the location of the attack, that highway was the fastest way Finley could escape from Lumonburg. That was why
Hayes had decided to guard that highway personally.
While Hayes was still thinking about the consequences of his failure at capturing Finley, an ambulance slowly came to a halt in
front of him.
A soldier standing next to Hayes pointed his gun at the driver and shouted, “Open your car door! This is a compulsory
inspection!”
Upon hearing that, the driver rolled down his window. The driver was an old man wearing a face mask and a paramedic uniform.
After whipping out his ID card, he said, “Commander, I have a patient in the back. He’s heavily injured, so please be gentle.”
“Cut the crap!” Hayes snatched the ID card from the soldier’s hand.

“Norman Cooper? Since the patient is heavily injured, why isn’t he receiving treatment from the hospitals in Lumonburg? What
are you guys doing leaving the city on the highway this late at night?” While talking, Hayes waved his right hand, and his
subordinates ran toward the back of the ambulance to open the door.
Right then, the driver handed a cigarette to Hayes and said, “Commander, how would I know? They paid me to bring the patient,
so I’m just doing what I’m told. However, I was told that the patient’s family is too poor to pay for treatment. That’s why they’re
bringing him back home to die peacefully.”
“If they’re so poor, why did they pay for an ambulance?” Hayes sneered.
“You’re very suspicious!” he exclaimed and went to the back of the ambulance.
When he leaned in to see the inside of the ambulance, he saw two medical practitioners with their face masks off.
Meanwhile, there was a young man with an oxygen mask on the stretcher.
Hayes frowned and glanced at the young man’s right arm. Right away, he knew how serious the injury was.
Hayes ordered one of the medical practitioners, “Take his oxygen mask off! I want to take a look at his face!”
“Commander, the patient had just stabilized moments ago. I can’t take it off—”
“I told you to remove the oxygen mask! Do it now!” Hayes yelled.
Upon hearing that, the soldiers next to Hayes immediately pointed their guns at both the medical practitioners inside.
The medical practitioner was so scared that he stammered, “O-Okay...” He then hurriedly reached out his hand toward the
patient’s oxygen mask.
Right at that moment, a gunshot was heard from the left side of the ambulance.
Everyone at the scene turned toward the sound and saw a figure running and jumping over the barriers at the side of the road.
“That’s Finley!” the wounded soldier shouted.
In an instant, Hayes jumped on top of a car nearby and rushed in the direction where Finley had disappeared.
After that, a series of gunshots were heard at the scene.

Since there were other cars on the highway, all the civilians were watching as the event unfolded before their eyes.
Seeing that Finley had shown himself, a military officer shouted at the civilians, “Leave! There’s nothing to watch here! Leave, or
you’ll be punished by law!” Just like that, the cars were chased away by the soldiers.
The ambulance was one of the vehicles seen leaving the scene.
