The Rockefeller Manor garden was very lively, and many people had come.
Lust Cosmetics had been closed for the holidays earlier on, and Brittany and the group of women were
all at home. When afternoon came, Michelle Yowell also came over. Then, Xyla Stoermer also came
over, as well as Hailey Lawson, among others. They were all there at Rockefeller Manor to celebrate
the New Year.
Bright lights were hung in front of Rockefeller Manor, and a large group of women were chatting and
laughing together.
However, Alexâs mood was low.
Nora Stewart and Martiny Mayer had taken the group of people to Japan, and a week had already
passed since then. Yet, there was still no news. Even last night, the communication that they had
maintained daily had broken.
He couldnât reach Snow Whitney either.
âSomething must have happened!â
âBut, with their lineup, theyâre more than enough if they want to overturn Japan. The most important
point here is that itâs impossible that their entire team has been annihilated, right?â
Alex went to look for Jade Benmore after that and told her about it.
Jade had jumped up. âSomething must have happened! I need to head to Japan.â
Alex had grabbed her and said, âMaster, whatâs the use for you to go to Japan now? Your current body
is no different than an ordinary person right now, and going there will be for nothing!â
Jade then just remembered that she had become a useless person now. The toxins in her body were
raging, and she was using all her strength to suppress them to lessen the consumption of her life force.
With all that, all her skills were equivalent to useless.
Bang!
Jade slammed her palm on the stool. As a result, her palm was red, but the stool remained unbroken.
She seemed stunned by this and finally closed her eyes weakly.
At this moment, Cheryl gave Alex a call and said, âAlex, weâve found a patient zero here, and weâve
extracted some toxins from his body. Itâs not the same as before, and this patient is also different from
the others. Would you like to take a look? We may find antibodies in his body.â
âOh? Thereâs a patient zero?â
Alex froze for a moment. âThe source of the poison is from the Blood Cult. Even if patient zero is found,
it shouldnât matter too much, right? Why donât you switch to video call and show me?â
âAlright!â
The call was hung up, and Cheryl soon called again, sending a video call invitation.
When Alex tapped the screen to accept it, he saw Cherylâs face, and Alexâs face was also the first thing
Cheryl saw.
Both of them were taken aback and asked in unison, âWhat happened to you?!â
Alex had lent his life force to Jade, so he had aged a lot. Even though he had continuously been
recovering during this period and had absorbed quite a lot of Chaos Chi energy, it still couldnât keep up
with the continuous consumption of his life force. The changes were still pronounced.
As for Cheryl, she hadnât slept well since Alex had left. She took a nap at most every day for half an
hour before she was immediately back to engage in the high intensity work. She had lost weight, and
her facial expression appeared extremely haggard, and the dark circles under her eyes were also very
obvious.
After a few more words were exchanged, Cheryl aimed the camera at patient zero.
It was an underage boy, and he looked to be at most about ten years old. He was in a coma at the
moment, and he lay motionless in the bed.
âHeâs patient zero?â Alex asked.
âYes!â Cheryl replied. âThis patient is strange. We suspect he has been tortured, as there are many
wounds on his body. Some of them are very shocking, and itâs very pitiful.â
The camera panned closer to the boyâs injuries, both large and small, and all the scars looked new.
However, for a child to be hurt this way was extremely pitiful.
At this moment, Jade had leaned in to take a closer look. In the next second, her face changed, and
she looked like she had seen a ghost as she exclaimed, âBlaze?!â
