Martiny Mayer patted Alex on the shoulder and said with a smile, âAlex, your medical skills are superb
and amazing. Even Xerxes Lawlor doesnât have the ability to concoct the antidote for the pill of seven
poisons. Iâm afraid youâre an even better alchemist than the Fairy Doctor from Flying Eagles academy.â
Alex smiled and said nothing.
Freya asked, âBro Alex, whatâs going on with these guys? How did they become like this? They look
terrifying, were they really ordinary people before this?â
Alex explained to them about the incident with the Blood Cult, and also talked about the recent
poisoning cases in Long Beach. Finally, he said, âThe Blood Cult obviously comes from an
extraordinary origin. According to my analysis, the Shura tribe is probably pulling the strings behind the
scenes and this hidden threat is really serious. The entire Flying Eaglesâ Left-wing Troop has been
affected by their corrosion. My master, Jade Benmore, has also been poisoned by the Blood Cult and
become useless. I need to hurry andâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Martiny jumped up. âWhat did you just say? Jade Benmore has
become useless?! Which Jade Benmore? The Flying Eaglesâ commander?â
She wasnât aware that Jade was currently Alexâs master.
Alex nodded.
Martiny was stunned. If Jade had become a useless person, then morale of the Flying Eagles without a
leader would plummet for sure. Moreover, the higher-ups must be doing things as they pleased.
Then, she heard that Jade had been forced to abdicate, and the Flying Eaglesâ power had fallen into
the hands of the government. Martinyâs face was red with anger as she said, âItâs all over! Those
government people canât possibly defend the ancient force field, theyâd be swept away in a single
wave! America is in big trouble! No, I have to go to the Dragon Kingâs Grotto to call my husband and
Xerxes back.â
âWho is Xerxes?â Alex asked.
Martiny replied, âYour masterâs husband, Jadeâs husband. Heâs also the founder of Flying Eagles
Academy, and heâs now known as Principal Lawlor. In fact, Flying Eagles Academy was founded for
Jadeâs sake. But itâs just that⦠The two of them have divorced now.â
âHuh?â
Only now did Alex know that Jade was the principalâs wife.
The three of them searched around the village and found the grand residence that Mariah had
mentioned. In fact, it was the most sophisticated residence in the entire village, and many bottles and
cans were found inside.
âThisâ¦â
Alex immediately picked one up to inspect it. âThis is the poisonâs source, itâs a hundred times more
potent than the ones in the poisoned victimsâ bodies.â
He picked up two bottles to bring back for Cheryl and Guilherme for research purposes. He burned the
rest completely with thundering flames.
***
When they returned to Mercy Hospital, Alex handed the poisonâs source to Cheryl and told her to be
extremely careful with it. As for whether an antidote could be worked out, it was hard to say. However,
Alex felt that he needed to head to Japan as soon as possible.
The fact that Carol Rockefeller had gone looking for the Blood Witch definitely did not bode well. In
order to cure the poison in Jadeâs body, he needed to find the Blood Witch. It looked like he also
needed to look for her to cure the poisoned special bloodline holders.
When Cheryl heard that Alex was leaving soon again, she was full of dismay.
They finally had time to meet, but there wasnât even enough time to have a meal together. In her office,
Alex took the initiative to pull her into his arms, then dropped his hands to her most special place and
said, âItâs an emergency situation now, so it has to be like this! Cheryl, the burden on you is not light
either. If my expectation is right, there will just be more and more people with this kind of poisoning, but
they havenât appeared yet. We should attack the problem from two angles at the same time, and try to
save more people⦠When everything is over, you can teach me how to use that thing.â
âWhat thing?â
As Alex whispered the reply in her ear, Cherylâs face flushed immediately. She pressed her body
against his, with a turbulence in her heart. âYou said it, donât leave me hanging again!â
Alex tightened his arms around her. The two were extremely intimate, and they could hear each otherâs
thunderous heartbeats. He kissed her lips, and only backed away after a long while had passed. He
said, âWait for me, and take care!â
