The Rise of the Black Plain

After saying those words to Regina and Angela, their group arrived at the room where Mirya was being treated at the General Hospital in a few minutes.

They hadn't talked much on the way, as that part of their agreement was heavily dependent on Regina examining Mirya's body. But, on the other hand, she and her bodyguard were a bit unsure of saying anything more to Minos after what had happened.

They didn't exactly know the capabilities of Minos or the local forces. Still, this young man had done enough to scare them temporarily. And given the opportunity to think a little more about everything that had happened, these two women realized that they had been carried away by greed very quickly.

After all, if this young man even had Siver-grade techniques for poison masters, then he would undoubtedly have other techniques. So, his forces must be much stronger than they appeared on the surface!

But upon entering Mirya's room and finding Dillian and other doctors there, the two women let that matter aside for the moment.

Upon seeing Mirya's situation, they were both somewhat impressed. Especially Angela, who wasn't an expert as her boss and had found it all more unbelievable than Regina.

She usually saw people who came and went from Regina's house in Allamanda. Yet, often these people were the wives of great regional leaders or the leaders of large organizations themselves. In other words, these people were generally not seriously injured, as was the case of Mirya.

But this level 52 Spiritual King, who had already been receiving intensive treatment from grade-2 doctors for about six weeks, was still weak, unconscious.

That was a completely different case for Angela, something she had never seen before!

"What caused all this?" Regina asked dubiously, right after she greeted the people in that room.

Eduard hadn't gone into details about what had happened to Mirya, as this could be considered harmful for their future relationship. After all, this woman already had her own enemies, who constantly threatened her life.

So, it would not be interesting to join a power that even attracts the sacrifice of level 54 cultivators...

Hearing her question, Dillian answered it calmly. "A level 54 Spiritual King sacrificed himself, and the sacrificial flames, unfortunately, injured Mirya."

Gulp!

'So, that was it!' Angela thought to herself as she felt a shiver go down her back. She couldn't help but fear such a thing!

And as Regina approached Mirya's body, she muttered under her breath. "An opponent of such a level sacrificed himself?"

'Then they must have strength higher than level 55 in this place to be able to force someone of that level to sacrifice themselves!' So she thought to herself, as she understood Mirya's body and the reality of the Dry City better.

...

After a few minutes of analyzing Mirya's condition, the silence in that room was finally broken when Regina spoke.  "Well, I already have an idea of '‹'‹this woman's condition."

Minos then uncrossed his arms and gazed steadily into Regina's purple eyes. "How long will it take her to recover fully? What about waking up from the coma?"

Regina then looked at Mirya's still extremely burned body and sighed. Then she turned her attention to the other people in the room and began to explain. "If I do the daily treatment with her, along with what these doctors have been doing, I believe that in less than a month, she will wake up. After that, we will need to repeat the dose for three months."

"At the end of this period, she will be able to cultivate again and live normally... But regarding her appearance, she will only fully recover after reaching level 60, or I become a low-level grade-3 poison master." She said with a smile on her face. "Whatever happens first."

"Excellent!" Dillian exclaimed in satisfaction at the same time as he placed one of his hands on Minos' right shoulder and waved at him.

"Hmm, this isn't bad!"

After that, all the doctors there appreciated the arrival of this woman to help them, while at the same time, they were happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Mirya's situation wasn't so bad that there was no long-term resolution, but they couldn't guess how long it would take for this to be fully resolved. And as people concerned about the well-being of their patients and those people's families, these doctors couldn't help but rejoice in such a change!

Minos then looked at Dillian and then at Regina and said in a moderate tone. "Well, I'm going to ask Abby to accompany you two during the poison treatment sessions..."

They then talked about some important facts for that woman to know how things would work from now on.

Abby had been helping with Mirya's treatment since this woman's arrival when Minos had returned from his trip to Yellow City. After all, with her skills, she could help a lot in treating injured people.

She could relieve Mirya's discomfort with her nervous control and even follow the instructions of local doctors to increase or decrease some reactions in that woman's body.  So, she had naturally not been forgotten in this situation.

As for Ruth, as much as her regenerative ability could affect people other than herself, it was too weak to help Mirya. Thus, Minos had only named Abby to help this poison master and Dillian.

"Alright, it's arranged that way." Minos clapped both of his hands as he smiled smugly. "I'll return to my office and have Abby come here as soon as possible. Therefore, you can start preparing for this treatment."

"OK."

And when he was leaving that place, Minos suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Miss Angela, why don't you join me? I have some matters to discuss with you."

"Me?" The white-eyed woman asked in surprise, looking at Minos and then at her boss.

"Why don't we have a friendly match? Coincidentally, I need someone else of your level..."

Regina then nodded subtly, giving her a meaningful look. "Go with him, Angela."

Seeing and hearing this, Angela wasted no time in walking towards the exit of that room, with a thoughtful expression on her beautiful face. 'Does she want me to investigate this location further?'

'That's great! He said he was stronger than us, so let's see if it's really like that.' She smiled, looking steadily at the young Stuart, who was walking quickly in front of her.

...

After some time, Abby had already been sent to the Dry City General Hospital, where Mirya's poison treatment finally began!

Viola had also been informed that the specialist she'd been waiting for had arrived in town, and it didn't take her long to get there too.

This young woman still had daily concerns about her mother's situation, despite constant support from the doctors who said that everything was under control. So, when she finally found out that Regina had arrived, she had run towards that spot to follow the first session, feeling quite anxious and hopeful!

On the other hand, when things were starting to get better for Mirya, Minos had arrived at his residence, accompanied by Angela.

He wanted to show this woman some of his strength so that Regina wouldn't try disturbing things in the future.

He had plenty of ways to deal with Regina if he had to, but it would be better if she just feared the strength of him and the Black Plain Army for now. After all, he needed her services, and she would only act by his rules if she feared or respected him.

But things like respect would only come with time, and in early moments of relationships like this, it would be better for him to control Regina's behavior through these more immediate feelings.

On the other hand, he wanted her to be a genuinely faithful member of his forces and not just an outside helper who would try to escape sooner or later.

To do this, he would first make her fear him so that they would have enough time to get to know each other, and she could learn that in the army, she would be better off than anywhere else.

And with that, sooner or later, she would lose her dangerous thoughts since the difference in power between them would only increase with time!

"This way, Miss Angela...."
