Chapter 91: Surgery

Miya’s words were perfectly logical. Why would a hospital director and so many doctors welcome a visitor who wasn’t even sick?

"Umm..." The director cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Lady, I received word that you and your husband needed a room for a minor operation. I’ve personally prepared one and wanted to show you the way. I just don’t know why all these people followed me," he explained.

The doctors were taken aback when they heard that, then exchanged frowning glances with one another.

The truth was clearly not what the director had just said.

"Stop with the nonsense and take us to the room," Miya said indifferently.

She seemed far too lazy to deal with a director who was trying to curry favor with her.

"Yes, please follow me." The director nodded and immediately led the way, secretly signaling the other doctors to leave.

He took them to an elevator and headed for the highest floor, where numerous operating rooms were located.

However, the operating room they were heading to was certainly not one filled with machines used to support surgical procedures.

It was simply a spacious white room with a single bed and numerous cabinets containing medicines and surgical instruments.

Since it wasn’t located in the middle of the building, they could see outside through its glass facade.

"Please, come in," the director said.

"You can leave now," Miya replied.

She let Enzo enter first before slamming the door shut.

The director was left trembling outside. He wore a helpless expression before finally walking away.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d suffered such humiliation. He was usually someone who retaliated whenever he was insulted, but this time, swallowing his anger was his only option.

"Ohhh..."

This time, it was Miya who was caught off guard when Enzo suddenly pulled her hand, causing her body to fall into his embrace with her back against his chest.

Enzo grinned boldly as the woman looked at him, then kissed her cheek, leaving a wet mark from his saliva.

"You’re quite naughty, considering you’re not even strong enough for me yet," Miya remarked teasingly.

However, right after saying that, she turned around to face him and kissed him hard on the lips.

This was simply inevitable when a newly married couple found themselves alone in a closed room.

However, while they were still kissing passionately, the door suddenly opened. It moved slowly, but its hinges creaked loudly.

"Lady, Lady Harris, over here..." the director’s voice echoed through the room.

Enzo could already see the director standing beside a woman in her thirties with brown hair tied into a bun. She wore a white coat and carried a large suitcase.

Nora Harris, Miya’s old friend who now worked as a scientist for the CIA.

From where the director was standing, he couldn’t see Enzo and Miya embracing and kissing.

The director, however, was looking at Nora.

But Nora had seen them.

Enzo quickly released Miya, who fortunately still looked perfectly composed.

"What are you waiting for, Nora? Have you never seen a man and a woman kissing before?" Miya suddenly asked when Nora remained stunned.

Enzo finally slapped his forehead upon hearing that.

How could she possibly say something like that, making the director realize what had been happening as well?

However, rather than showing an exaggerated reaction, the director urged Nora to enter quickly before closing the door behind her.

Now alone in the room with the two of them, the woman felt as though she’d entered a tiger’s den.

"Umm..." She cleared her throat softly, trying to dispel her own awkwardness.

"Miya, you want your husband to become a Silver Warrior now?" she asked, glancing at Enzo uncertainly.

Although she had no choice but to come, she couldn’t understand the reason. From her perspective, Enzo was still at Level 3.

Of course, he could still become a Silver Warrior, but there were risks.

Cultivators might be able to overcome those risks, but there would still be adverse effects.

"Asking questions isn’t your job. Just do your work. I’ve already paid your boss," Miya replied indifferently.

She took a sofa out of her ring since there was nowhere to sit, then settled down on it.

Nora was speechless at Miya’s response.

She looked at Enzo again. He calmly sat on the bed before asking, "Is the process more complicated than becoming a Copper Warrior?"

"Yes, it’s more complicated. We’ll use a blood collection machine to draw your blood, then combine the Silver Liquid directly with it. The liquid contains substances with relatively large particles, so it can’t flow properly if injected straight into your body. Normally, this requires someone to be temporarily infused with someone else’s blood. However, for Cultivators, it’s not a problem if their bodies run out of blood temporarily, so the operation can be performed more simply."

Enzo: "..."

He had initially been quite relaxed, but now he froze and trembled slightly.

"Are you serious!?" he asked.

"Of course. There’s no other way... If only humans were twice as large, then it would be possible," Nora replied.

"Honey, don’t worry. It won’t hurt..." Miya said with a soft chuckle.

Enzo could only roll his eyes.

Hurt?

Who was afraid of pain? Even if it really hurt, he wouldn’t be afraid.

He was simply horrified by the thought of watching his own blood being drawn out of his body.

"Are you ready, Mr. Muller?" Nora asked.

"Do it..." Enzo answered immediately.

Regardless of anything else, fear couldn’t stop him.

He was more afraid of failing to try everything that could help him grow stronger.

Nora nodded and opened the large suitcase she had brought.

Inside were a bottle containing silver liquid and a box-shaped machine with four tubes, each ending in a large needle.

Nora didn’t take out the machine itself. She only took the tubes.

Enzo closed his eyes, letting the woman do whatever she needed to do.

He felt his hand being held before a sharp needle pierced the vein in his wrist, going in very deep.

It even seemed to have a powerful suction force.

His blood was genuinely being sucked out through it.

Besides both of his wrists, the other two tubes were connected to his ankles.

Enzo then opened his eyes to watch.

At this point, all four tubes were already filled with blood, which was flowing into the blood collection machine.

It was an unsettling sight, but he had to admit that he didn’t feel any particular effects.

His body still felt normal, healthy, and strong.

After about five minutes, the blood finally stopped flowing out of his body.

This meant his body had run out of blood.

Of course, as a Cultivator, his body could produce new blood in a short time, but he held back from doing so.

Nora suddenly pulled one of the tubes out of his body and connected it to the bottle containing the silver liquid, which immediately began flowing into the blood collection machine.

There was no noticeable effect. The silver liquid turned red and mixed with the blood, since its volume was much smaller than that of the blood itself.

"It takes about twenty minutes for the mixture to combine perfectly," Nora said in a tone that sounded as though she were making an announcement.

Enzo and Miya glanced at her simultaneously, but neither responded.

Since they still had to wait twenty minutes, Enzo decided to take out his phone.

There was nothing else he could do.

He might as well play a game for a while and make the time pass faster.

If no one else were present, of course, he would much rather touch Miya.

"Miya, I heard you can grant someone power," he suddenly heard Nora say.

Bringing up this subject was certainly surprising.

Enzo shifted his gaze away from his phone.

Miya naturally looked at Nora after hearing that.

"This isn’t something you can pursue, so why ask?" she replied.

Nora pressed her lips together and eventually didn’t dare to pursue the subject any further.

Unlike Enzo, who was playing on his phone, Miya was examining her fingernails.

Time passed, and twenty minutes finally elapsed.

After a short while, the blood inside the collection machine turned silver before turning red again.

Nora pressed a button on the machine, causing the blood inside to flow back into Enzo’s body through the tubes.

It flowed back much faster than it had been drawn out.

Enzo could gradually feel the blood returning to his body, now containing something unfamiliar to him.

It didn’t just circulate through his blood vessels. It also began to merge with his flesh.

It wasn’t an extraordinary sensation, just like when he had become a Copper Warrior.

The only difference was the distinction between silver and copper.

Of course, this didn’t eliminate the power of the copper. It wasn’t a replacement, but rather an additional source of power.

With just a single thought, his skin turned silver, making him look like a genuine alien.

Nora watched with curiosity, while Miya gave him a strange look instead.

"That doesn’t look too bad," she remarked.
