The Great Medical Saint

The moment Dominic and Lester were within striking distance, Dominic made the first move and thrust his curved knife toward Lester's heart.

Lester kept charging forward, heading straight into the trajectory of the curved knife. Right before the curved knife could strike his chest, he parried it with a reverse grip.

After a clang, Dominic's curved knife clashed with Lester's blade, sending sparks flying and lighting up the scene with a dazzling glow.

Lester crashed into Dominic with a dull thud. The two were knocked apart.

Wielding the blade in his hand, Dominic narrowed his gaze as he locked his eyes on Lester. "You actually dodged it, huh? Not bad."

Lester held his blade in a backhand grip. Fresh blood dripped steadily from it. Illuminated by the cars' headlights, the crimson blood gleamed with an eerie glow.

Dominic was shocked at the sight of blood and slowly looked down. When he saw the wound on his abdomen, he gaped at it in disbelief, as if he couldn't accept that he was injured.

"How can this be? I've defeated you before! How could you even land a blow on me?"

Lester flicked the blood off his blade and coldly remarked, "Like I said, this isn't a child's game. It's a fight to the death. I'm not going easy on you."

The idea that Lester had held back hit Dominic like a slap across the face.

Dominic's face went pale. The searing pain from his wounds felt like something was gnawing at it from the inside, making it unbearable. But the humiliation hurt

even more.

His second place crowned in the military was just a joke.

Dominic desperately wished the ground would crack open and swallow him whole before sealing up again. He couldn't wait to disappear from everyone's sight. Unfortunately, all of it was merely his wishful thinking.

His abdomen had a gaping wound with his blood gushing out. The blood hit the ground and splattered everywhere.noveldrama

Lester's hand trembled a little as he held his blade. "Do you know why you lost, Dominic? It's because you can't imagine the amount of effort and dedication someone puts in to stay in the army and earn a promotion.

"You have no idea what it feels like when you can't lift your arms after throwing a thousand punches in one day. You'll never know the feeling of your legs shaking after doing squats with a 50-pound weight.

"Surely, you can't fathom the bitterness of losing when the higher-ups decided it, even though I trained hard to win and make a name for myself. Your second place is nothing but a joke."

Dominic's mind was buzzing when the truth hit him. It turned out that he had only gotten this far because of his father's and grandfather's influence.

Everything he believed to be his skills was nothing but a bubble, and it had burst at this moment.

Neither Leo nor Lucien had anticipated that Dominic, who was far more powerful than them, would lose. Worse yet, it happened so fast.

They were stunned for a moment before they rushed over to help Dominic. Leo swiftly took off his shirt to stop the bleeding.

Lester walked toward the trio with his blade. "I'm tasked to take out Matthew today. If you stand in my way, I won't hesitate to take your lives."

He didn't have a chance to fight without holding back before. But on that day, the opportunity finally presented itself.

Lester's fighting spirit burned like a raging fire inside. He felt his blood pumping, surging like a torrent.

At that moment, he feared no

privileged brats from the influential

military families. Whether his

opponents were the son of a

Brigadier or an heir, they were only

fodders in front of his blade.

Lester slowly walked over with heavy footsteps. They echoed loud and clear on

the quiet road.
