Alex replied, “Yes. He was killed by that woman.”
Olivia asked in confusion, “Why would she kill him? Didn’t you already know how Jewel ended up in Double Dragon Court? What other secrets did he have that warranted his death?” Alex was also doubtful as he said, ‘Perhaps she didn’t want us to know who he was dealing with?”
Olivia undid the bandages on Alex’s neck as she said, “It doesn’t matter who it was. They’re insiders of Double Dragon Court anyway, and we have no intention of going against them, so was Damian’s death really necessary? Moreover, how can any normal person cause trouble for Double Dragon Court?”
Alex fell silent as well, and he didn’t say anything for a long while. In reality, he didn’t know why the person would go through all the trouble to kill Damian.
For Alex, except for the identity of Damian’s contact, he had gotten all the information he wanted. For what secret would Damian be killed then?
“Could it be that there’s something we don’t know?” Olivia didn’t ask further. She had already taken. off the bandages wrapped around Alex’s neck.
Jewel hastily leaned in to see. The wound on Alex’s neck wasn’t deep, but it was slightly red. No, it leaned a little to the black side, and it even seemed like it was festering. This didn’t look like an injury from any normal weapon. Instead, it was like…
She seemed to have thought of something as her expression tensed. She looked up at Olivia and said fearfully, “Olivia…”
Olivia had a serious look on her face, and she even seemed a little anxious. As she looked for the ointment in the medicine kit, she knocked down quite a few other bottles along the way. Alex also sensed the tense atmosphere between the two, so he asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”
Olivia frowned, saying with a panicked tone in her voice, “Do you feel any discomfort? Maybe symptoms like lacking energy, feeling dizzy, feverish, irregular heartbeat, sore muscles, things like that?”
Alex replied, “I do feel a little tired, and I feel sore all over my body, but isn’t that normal? I fought with her for so long yesterday, so I was probably exhausted. The extreme loss of blood might also be the reason. I was wounded when. I fought her yesterday, or she might not be able to hurt me at all. Why do you guys look so serious? What’s wrong with me?”
Olivia said, “There was poison on her blade. You’re poisoned.” Jewel closed her eyes. It was exactly as she had suspected. She asked anxiously, “Do you have an antidote, Olivia?”
Olivia glanced at the wound, not daring to: guarantee anything as she said, “I can only try. Master and I worked on the antidote together, and it should be able to nullify common poison. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to analyze the contents of this poison with my master.”
Alex instantly panicked. He always thought that the injury on his waist was more serious, but by the looks of it, the injury on his neck was more lethal.
No wonder Damian died so quickly back then. The weapon was probably soaked in poison ast well. He couldn’t help but panic. “It only grazed my skin a little. It shouldn’t be that serious, right?”
Olivia said expressionlessly, “You should be glad that only your skin was grazed. If not, your would be dead already.”
When Alex heard that, a chill ran down his spine. He suddenly felt scared now. If he hadn’t reacted in time back then, the dart would’ve robbed him of his life.
Jewel was even more worked up. A furious aura surrounded her body, but she remained emotionless as she said, “Olivia, can you see if a dart caused that injury?”
Olivia cleaned the wound as she said, “Looks like it.” Jewel’s pupils constricted. She looked at Alex and said, “Did you see the dart? Can you describe it to me?”
It was only then that Alex noticed Jewel’s expression. She was no longer nervous or embarrassed like she was moments ago. Her eyes were numb and cold. He felt extremely worried, and he even wanted to hug her and comfort her. In reality, he was fine. He felt alright for now. However, Olivia was dressing his wounds, so he couldn’t move.
He could only say, “I did. It’s a small leaf-like dart, and it’s very sharp. Its handle was red, and it had a small ring on it.”
