I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 328 - 327 Alicia’s Plan

"No matter how strong that guy is! He can't possibly win!"

Major Manuel, in charge of this operation, was a young and impulsive officer.

He originally thought the mission could be wrapped up in an hour, or half an hour at most.

But now, almost more than two hours have passed.

The situation in the slum became increasingly complex.

He never expected this mission to become so complicated.

And what he didn't expect even more was that the situation was now very clear.

The target had only one man with her.

The target was a little girl.

His superiors didn't clearly explain why they needed this little girl.

But in Mexico, it's hard to keep secrets.

Just like some high officials' itineraries, always known by cartel members, and then getting taken out.

So, Manuel knew a bit about what was going on.

Simply put, a high-ranking official from above was now also sick.

And the treatment aspect was quite strange.

In reality, everyone knew there was a pandemic.

But Mexico's medical standards basically have to rely on the United States.

However, the United States has done nothing about this pandemic so far, leaving Mexico utterly clueless about what to do.

This country doesn't have the ability to develop special drugs or vaccines.

So what could be done?

Legend has it, this girl seemed to be under the protection of some mysterious God.

Some say this girl's blood can cure diseases.

The latter might have some scientific basis.

That is if she recovered on her own, her blood serum might be useful.

And as for the divine protection...

Manuel thought combining science with theology like this.

The result should be quite remarkable!

His agreement was quite normal.

This country believes in God, and many people also believe in shamans.

Though, if word got out, it might not sound good, but it didn't matter.

Manuel felt confident he could complete this task.

But, currently...

Just as he was feeling frustrated, a piece of good news finally came from the front!

"We broke through! We've broken through!"

Finally, some progress, it was great!

In fact, all the information Manuel currently had was not very certain.

Including the rumors from higher-ups.

Was it really just one person facing them?

He didn't quite believe it.

But regardless, as long as they could break in, the mission was nearly complete!

"Everyone, listen to my command..."

Manuel was just about to give orders.

Unexpectedly, a bomb suddenly went off near him!

...

Inside the slum.

"You're bleeding."

"What's surprising about that?"

"But you weren't bleeding before."

"You little kid... what can you see?"

"Nothing, I just know you're at your limit."

"You little brat, don't cause trouble."

"You'll die."

Alicia's words silenced Owen.

He was bleeding.

Although it was a minor injury, under the current circumstances.

He might really die.

Owen was in quite a dire situation, not completely out of tools, but cornered.

Even though his combat record had been excellent.

Many of the cartel and police had fallen.

Yet, none of this mattered.

Because the mission wasn't complete.

From a military perspective, achieving the objective, completing the mission, is key to an operation's success.

Many generals didn't care much about the casualties.

Owen's task was to take this little girl back to the United States.

Now it seemed, he probably couldn't achieve this goal.

Alicia had definitely realized, and she was quite a clever girl.

"In fact, you just want my blood, so if that's the case, as long as you get the blood, right?"

These words didn't fit her age at all.

Owen was genuinely surprised, as he had no idea what Alicia had been through.

"What do you want to say?"

At this moment, Owen remained very wary.

Alicia, with her innocent big eyes wide open, seriously offered a suggestion.

"As long as we make a deal with them, and you can get my blood, won't that be fine?"

A deal?

Does that mean stop fighting and negotiate?

Owen thought it was nonsense.

But Alicia revealed the key to this so-called deal.

"How much do those traffickers know about medicine? Why did they come to us?"

This use of the word 'us' was very crucial.

Alicia was really good with words, aligning herself with Owen.

And her meaning was very clear.

The traffickers likely came because they heard some shaman legends, those weird witchcraft rumors.

This meant... they were easily deceived!

Therefore, there really was a possibility of negotiation.

Alicia, at least, would be safe, as they wouldn't easily kill their 'hope.'

Whether they called Alicia a witch or something else.

She would be safe.

At most, she would just lose some blood.

Under such circumstances, Owen would likely be safe too.

As long as the terms were agreed upon.

So, would Owen listen to her?

"Kids should do kids' things."

Owen threw down this line, and then he began setting up his trap again.

Alicia just shrugged her shoulders upon hearing this, seemingly unharmed.

But over there, Owen's attention was on...

With a bang!

Somehow, Alicia had a rock in her hand.

And a rock to the head, an average person couldn't stand it.

Moreover, Owen was already injured and had been fighting for so long.

In fact, Alicia's successful ambush was mainly because Owen was slightly swayed by Alicia's words earlier.

Although he denied Alicia's suggestion, Owen had completely let down his guard against the girl.

Couldn't believe it, really couldn't.

But fortunately, after knocking Owen out, Alicia said to him.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die."

Then, the young girl dismantled all the traps and spoke to the traffickers outside.

"I'll go with you, but you must agree to my conditions! Otherwise, you will face the most terrifying curse!"

Curse?

This word had far more impact than Owen expected.

Before long, the traffickers contacted their larger forces and launched an attack on the Mexican police!

Manuel would never have thought that his men were attacked because of a little girl.

...

When Owen opened his eyes again.

He was surprised to find that he might have already returned to the United States.

"What exactly... what happened?"

His judgment was due to his seeing Mai Dangkui and Attorney Oden.

"Someone sent you back, and when we found you, there was a vial of blood beside you."

Attorney Oden's communication skills were strong, and Owen immediately understood.

Alicia's plan had succeeded.

Perhaps the girl was now a witch of some Mexican crime group.

But this made Owen feel defeated, having lost to a little girl.

Yet soon, his spirits lifted again.

Because of that vial of blood.

"So..."

Just when he wanted to say something, Attorney Oden anticipated his question.

"That vial of blood can't be used."

Yes, Dr. Zhou had already given his scientific conclusion.

Probably the blood was contaminated during collection in that kind of environment.

But anyway, Owen was extremely frustrated now!

But soon someone brought him good news.

"Don't despair, we're in luck."

What did that mean?
