Hagan has this smoldering need to protect, even at the cost of his everything. In the grand scheme of things, he is but a small beast famished and clutching at the last straws of its survival. It is that burning drive to live makes him more dangerous than a well-fed King of the jungle.
Predators usually hunt beasts that are smaller or weaker than themselves. Hagan does not have claws, not the stature of an alpha beast, he is not a predator or a beast king. He is a hunter.
Being forced to hunt by the vicious monsters, Hagan found his first prey.
His calm stride towards Dr. Shilong made the doctor feel chills in his spine.
"...you are?"
"The son of the patient that you just now swore to keep alive."
"Hha, so you are that woman"s brat. Brother Jaw-Long did not say anything about you but I think gifting you alongside your mother will be appreciated."
"I will keep your mom alive as long as you stay beside the ICU ward. If I see you missing I will pull the cord myself and blame it on her weak will to live," the sneering words of Dr. Shilong dripped with malice and his cruel eyes would not make anyone doubt his words.
"I hate the look in the eyes of this kid. Brother Jaw-Long has specifically instructed me to keep the woman alive, but let"s see if the brat will stick around with the threat over his mom"s life," smirked Dr. Shilong as he mockingly looking at the young boy.
"Dr. Shilong, I am disgusted to call you a doctor. We, doctors, strive to save lives not take them. You are not even half the man I thought you were," said Dr. Cuifen with disgust naked in her eyes.
"Young man, what is your name? I will look after your mom, I will protect her, I swear this upon my life and with my pride as a doctor," continued Dr. Cuifen.
Hagan looked grateful towards Dr. Cuifen, but before he could reply to her an annoying voice cut him.
"Cuifen, I applaud your sense of righteousness. I applaud it because it is amusing and funny. You"re quite the entertainer!"
"Brother Jaw-Long is the right-hand man of the w.a.n.gs, the w.a.n.gs run this town. Whatever the w.a.n.gs wish, it happens in Hangzhang. The w.a.n.gs wish for this lady"s death, the reason she is still alive is only because of Brother Jaw-Long instructions."
"In this ton, everyone listens to the w.a.n.gs. The police have been instructed to ignore the incident, and the director of our hospital is instructed to let the men of Futou gang do whatever they please."
"I wanted to pursue you, Cuifen, but looking at your stubborn self, you will get yourself killed young in this town. Maybe I should ask for Brother Jaw-Long to not let you die a virgin, that will be a waste," the lecherously Doctor stopped hiding his debased inner self as he thought that everything is under his control. He felt surer of himself because of the support of Brother Jaw-Long.
Amidst his self absorbed power trip, the complacent face of Dr. Shilong"s suddenly contorted in extreme agony and an inhuman wail tore through the corridors of the St. Therese Hospital.
The emergency fire Axe that people usually forgot being in the side of the wall was wedged deep into the shoulder bone of Dr. Shilong, his face went pale as he twisted his neck hard to look at the fiendish person holding onto it.
Dr. Shilong was aghast to look at the calm eyes of Hagan looking back at him. Before the doctor could say anything, Hagan ripped out the Axe and chopped down on Shilong"s other shoulder.
The second soul-wrenching shriek of Dr. Shilong woke up Dr. Cuifen and Mr. Liu from their daze as they were petrified at the grisly sight of Hagan tainted by the blood of Dr. Shilong.
~The King of the jungle may play with its food, but a cornered beast will draw first blood.~
