Chapter 421: The Hand Of God
Chapter 421: The Hand of God
Some nurses and female doctors, fueled by jealousy over Cheyenne's looks, held a negative opinion of her. Whispering behind her back, they remarked, "This is a hospital, not Fashion Week. Why would she wear high heels? She'll be standing for over ten hours during surgeries. She'll regret it!"
The other nurses chimed in, "Exactly! Same white coat as everyone else, but she had to make it special by sewing her name on the chest... Is that necessary?"
Eddie walked behind them and happened to overhear their comments. His dark, intense gaze revealed his anger. His voice, calm but stern, was loud enough for the attentive to hear, "Isn't it common to write your name on the white coat? Hospital uniforms are often collectively cleaned and sterilized, so it's inevitable that they can get mixed up." Many people do it.
They saw Cheyenne through color-tinted glasses, which made them replace fault with even trivial matters like this. Eddie's reprimand left his adoring female fans heartbroken. Eddie, known for his gentle demeanor, never scolded his interns, even if they made mistakes. If they did make an error, Eddie would kindly comfort them and remind them to be more careful next time.
It was the first time everyone saw the usually gentle Eddie angry, all because of the newly appointed hospital director...
They quickly fell silent and returned to their respective positions to continue working.
Meanwhile, in the office, Cheyenne began organizing the files left by her senior colleague. Besides the typical patient records and a few valuable VIP client files, there was nothing unusual on the shelves. She spent a little over an hour reorganizing and reviewing the documents.
As the end of her shift approached, Cheyenne suddenly discovered a hidden compartment in a cabinet tucked away in the corner of the room. Curiously, she opened it and found a blue folder inside. A small white note stuck to the spine read "File Number One."
Intrigued, she took out the folder and opened it. Inside, she found detailed information about an international criminal organization known as "The Hand of God." Despite the continuous development of science and culture in recent years, and relative global peace, there were still occasional outbreaks of wars in certain regions. Within these conflicts, mysterious organizations and influential figures intertwine.
The Hand of God was an organization that emerged in the early 1980s. Their first appearance involved a notorious kidnapping that shook the financial district in Cluicia, targeting several prominent billionaires and demanding a staggering ransom of one trillion dollars. Their emblem was a blood-red handprint, hence the name "The Hand of God."
They later moved their operations to Metshire, becoming a dreaded force of evil.
For reasons unknown, The Hand of God went silent for almost fifteen years, adopting a low-profile approach compared to their previously headline-grabbing tactics. Gradually, people forgot the carnage they had caused.
Approximately five years ago, The Hand of God resurfaced, catching the attention of higher authorities who were determined to eradicate their influence on home soil. However, their adversaries proved to be cunning, consistently evading capture, with only a few lower-level operatives apprehended.
Soar Casino and TWILIGHT were among the businesses owned by The Hand of God.
The Soar Casino served as a front for money laundering and accumulating illicit wealth.
TWILIGHT specialized in human organ trafficking and tailored videos catering to the perverse desires of wealthy individuals. Customers would place orders through the Dark League website, receiving invitations to TWILIGHT for the transactions.
Despite being active for nearly three decades, The Hand of God remained largely hidden, with even Jonathan having only a glimpse of the vast extent of their operations. His task from above was to crack down on the Misty Forest and the Serpent Magic, two key strongholds.
Misty Forest had been deciphered through the joint efforts of Cheyenne and Eddie, with its main component being Datura stramonium, along with some hallucinogenic substances like mandrake leaves. As for the Serpent Magic, it was mentioned briefly in Jonathan's information since it is exceptionally rare and precious, lacking any substantial details. Nevertheless, Cheyenne had gathered some preliminary information, leading her to believe that the recent death of Jase was evidence of the omnipresence of The Hand of God.
Sitting in her office for the entire morning, Cheyenne didn't have any patients coming to see her.
She took advantage of the free time to relax, reclining on the desk and taking a nap.
Upon waking up, she glanced at the clock and then took out her phone to play a couple of rounds of game before killing time until the end of her shift.
Eddie had just walked over from his own office and asked Cheyenne with a concerned tone, "Cheyenne, how was your first day at work?" He discreetly glanced at her, noticing that she seemed relatively content.
"It was fine, just okay. Working can be so boring!" Cheyenne replied, slightly lifting her spirits.
Eddie couldn't help but smile at her response, knowing that she found it boring because she wasn't busy yet.
As a doctor, one could go without sleep for days and nights when things got hectic.
"It'll get better as time goes on. By the way, when it comes to meals, we usually eat at the cafeteria or order takeout. However, if we get busy, we might not have the time, and the food at the cafeteria is pretty good too," Eddie explained. Cheyenne didn't have any special dietary requirements and believed that filling her stomach was sufficient.
They walked into the cafeteria together, drawing attention from others due to their good looks.
Many people whispered and sarcastically mocked Eddie behind their backs. "So soon, he's already trying to please the new director? Is it because she's attractive and divorced, so he wants to make a move?" On the other hand, although Cheyenne was a divorcee, her pretty face couldn't be denied.
These derogatory comments made Eddie angry, and he rarely glared back at them, causing the group to slightly restrain themselves.
Cheyenne, however, didn't really mind. She shrugged her shoulders, reaching out to grab Eddie's arm. "Don't worry about it, Eddie. Let's just go and have our meal," she said.
News of Cheyenne taking up the position as the new director quickly spread throughout Akloit.
As expected, many citizens were skeptical yet incredulous at the same time.
Rex, feeling deep guilt over falsely accusing Cheyenne of killing his brother-in-law, went all out to celebrate her appointment by sending ten baskets of flowers, neatly lined up at the entrance of the hospital. Old Mr. Foley went even further, using a helicopter to shower Cheyenne with confetti in mid-air.
Kelvin, though maintaining a silent demeanor, secretly visited a jewelry store and purchased an exquisite gift box.
The gift, a diamond ring he bought during their marriage, was left behind by Cheyenne on the table when they got divorced and nearly ended up in a trash bin by the cleaning maid.
Kelvin retrieved it when he saw it and bought a new box, intending to give it to Cheyenne again and have her wear the ring once more.
Unfortunately, he arrived at an inopportune moment, witnessing Benson presenting a large bouquet of vibrant red roses to Cheyenne. Even though he wasn't well-versed in matters of love, he knew that red roses symbolized a declaration of love.
