Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Using Four Ounces of Force to Move a Thousand Pounds
"Someone is forcing their way into Old Master Leocadia’s hospital room!"
One of them, enduring the intense pain of shattered bones, trembled as he pulled a remote control from his waist and pressed it hard!
In an instant.
Alarms sounded throughout the Leocadia home.
Actually, there was no need for him to raise the alarm; the Leocadia family members were already on their way.
They all knew where the Old Master’s room was, each of them running with a slight jog, panting as they caught up.
Natalia Leocadia was even covered in a nosebleed, too frantic to clean himself up as he hurried along.
The remote had a second function.
The Old Master Leocadia’s bed was fitted with a special mechanism.
Once the button was pressed, a bulletproof glass shield would drop down from above.
Encasing Old Master Leocadia within.
At the same time, oxygen tanks began to operate, ensuring that the enclosed environment had sufficient oxygen for 24 hours.
The only way to deactivate this mechanism was for both Natalia Leocadia and Daphne Leocadia to be present, each with their own key, to unlock it.
Otherwise, no one could get within even a step of the Old Master.
As the alarm sounded, the doctors all stepped back.
Boom!
A massive glass shield descended from above, protecting Old Master Leocadia inside.
Julius Reed and Sophia Leocadia also approached the bedside, looking at Old Master Leocadia through the glass shield, his eyes tightly shut.
The room was extraordinarily spacious, more than three hundred square meters.
Originally, this was the Leocadia family’s medical room, equipped with the world’s top medical equipment.
Now, it had been converted into a hospital room, with all equipment and personnel devoted solely to the Old Master.
Extraordinarily luxurious!
This was the first time Julius Reed had come into close contact with Old Master Leocadia.
The old man’s hair had long since turned pure white, and at this moment, he lay on the bed, dressed in blue checkered hospital attire.
Both hands were crossed on his chest, eyes tightly closed.
His lips pale, his complexion bloodless.
But to the outside observer, he seemed to be displaying the appearance of a severely ill person.
In Julius Reed’s eyes, however, this was poisoning!
A superior poison from Medicine King Valley.
Originally, when seeking medicine from Medicine King Valley, if the Medicine King had wanted revenge and given him poison, Old Master Leocadia might have died instantly.
After all, the poison inside Old Master Leocadia was different from that inside Bamboo Whitaker.
The poison in Bamboo Whitaker could be recognized and countered by Karen.
But the poison in Old Master Leocadia was so rare that it was difficult to discern.
"Julius Reed! The nerve you have!"
After Natalia Leocadia and the Leocadia family members burst in, seeing that the glass shield had already lowered, he finally took a breath of relief.
"Ha ha! Out of options, aren’t you?"
A smug look flashed in his eyes as he took a wet towel passed to him by a bodyguard and gently wiped the blood from his face.
"Uncle, you need to raise the glass shield!"
Sophia Leocadia frowned and said, "Brother Davenport is here to treat Grandfather."
She had thought that after getting past Natalia Leocadia, at the very least Julius Reed could take a look at Grandfather.
But now, with more than a meter’s distance between them, how could he treat him?
Daydreaming.
"Sophia Leocadia, now you need to understand something!"
Natalia Leocadia laughed triumphantly: "I didn’t stop you; it was your own rash actions that activated the mechanism! To be honest, I’ve lost my key and we’ll have to wait 12 hours for the manufacturer that made the glass shield to come and unlock this thing!"
"Uncle, you..."
Sophia Leocadia’s face flushed with anger.
Treating someone through a glass shield?
What was this, some kind of qigong?
"If you don’t believe me, you can search my room." Natalia Leocadia spread his hands, sneering, "You treating the Old Master, I have no objections! But if you can’t cure him, that’s not my responsibility."
"So, Manager Leocadia, you agree to me treating him?"
Julius Reed turned around to face Natalia Leocadia.
"No problem! That’s my father, and of course, I hope he recovers quickly. But you forced your way in, causing the mechanism to activate, and I will hold you responsible!"
Natalia Leocadia said sternly: "If father were to have an episode now, and the doctors can’t treat him, then you, Sophia Leocadia, and this man, would be the sinners of the Leocadia family!"
Hearing these words, Sophia Leocadia bit her lip in anger but found no way to retort.
Clang!
Julius Reed lightly tapped the glass with his fingertip.
It was very thick.
The bulletproof glass, a full thirty centimeters thick, was incredibly tough.
"Save your efforts!"
Natalia Leocadia pointed at the glass shield, his face full of mockery: "This mechanism cost me tens of millions of US dollars to build! The glass on top is of the highest craftsmanship in the world!"
He approached Julius Reed while speaking, "Do you see how thick this is? It’s not just a handgun; even if you planted explosives beside it, it might not blow open!"
The strength of the glass enclosure, he had witnessed tests.
A truck had slammed into it, and yet the glass enclosure didn’t shatter.
Of course, the price was also extremely high.
But the Leocadia Family wasn’t short on cash.
"Indeed, a fine item," Julius Reed nodded and said, "Manager Leocadia really is a filial son."
"Hmph, my filial piety doesn’t need your skepticism," Natalia Leocadia turned away, looking at Old Master Leocadia lying inside the glass enclosure, "You should focus on how you’re going to rescue him instead. You came to the Leocadia Family, fought, and smashed our property, but if you can’t heal my father, we’ll settle our accounts slowly."
This glass enclosure was incredibly tough!
Thinking of opening it was like a fool’s dream.
"Sigh!"
Sophia Leocadia sighed helplessly.
She was also aware of the strength of this glass enclosure, and the situation was now embarrassingly awkward.
Not only couldn’t she rescue her own grandfather, but she would also implicate Julius Reed.
She was somewhat regretful.
"Eli Yarrow!"
Julius Reed shouted loudly.
"Mr. Reed!"
Eli Yarrow strode over.
"Fetch my sword!"
Julius Reed faced the glass enclosure and extended one hand.
"Understood!"
Eli Yarrow turned around and a bodyguard promptly handed over a wooden box.
Upon opening the box, a sword glittering with cold light, the Golden Dragon Sword, appeared within!
Two intertwining golden dragons, their killing intent formidable.
"Don’t waste your efforts," Natalia Leocadia sneered.
Guns couldn’t penetrate it, how could a mere cold weapon hope to open it?
Yet the atmosphere within the room suddenly grew heavy.
To do something known to be impossible, is it sheer foolishness?
Or, perhaps, was there a glimmer of confidence?
No one believed in Julius Reed.
"Without hitting the wall, there’s no turning back. This glass enclosure was custom-made with a huge sum by Brother Davenport and tested countless times outside."
"But they still want to give it a try; otherwise, how embarrassing would it be? After all, they beat Rufus Bay and our bodyguards, probably got a bit inflated."
"Let’s see how Sophia Leocadia wraps this up! She’s caused complete chaos at home, and in the end, it’s all for naught."
Leocadia Family Members whispered to each other, starting to gossip.
No one believed in miracles.
But Julius Reed didn’t care about these rumors.
He grasped the Dai Zhou Lanye Sword with both hands and placed the blade against the glass enclosure.
He softly made a cut.
As he sliced, he circled around the glass enclosure.
At the same time, he closed his eyes, listening intently to the sounds.
"Fiddling with mysteries and magic!"
The Leocadia Family said scornfully.
Natalia Leocadia was even preparing words to humiliate Sophia Leocadia bitterly afterwards.
Hiss!
The sharp blade of the sword dragged across the glass enclosure, making a frictional noise.
When it reached a certain point, the sound underwent a subtle shift.
The weakest point!
Simultaneously, Julius Reed halted in his tracks.
He opened his eyes abruptly!
Clang!
He brought down the sword in a swift stroke!
Silence!
In the ward, it was as silent as death.
But after ten seconds, the glass enclosure showed no change.
"I thought you had some skill; I’m truly disappointed..."
Crack!
Before Natalia Leocadia could finish speaking, the glass enclosure instantly shattered.
The principle of leveraging a big force with a small one!
