Olivia glanced at him. “It’s possible that since you only got a scratch, the poison takes a longer time to soak in. So, you may not feel it very prominently, but your wound is already festering. This means that the poison is working. Let’s put it this way. Those in Double Dragon Court who were accidentally inflicted with Phantom’s poison during missions would have to get the antidote from her.
If not, it was almost impossible to nullify the poison. Later on, it turned into a method of interrogation, and Jonathan even barred it before. However, Joseph was a cruel man, so within 6 months after Jonathan barred it, Joseph started using it again. The brothers even got into a fight over this.”
When Alex heard that, he gasped. “If it goes untreated, how long do I have to live?”
Olivia’s expression darkened. “Not more than one week, but don’t worry. I’m no longer the Olivia who worked in Double Dragon Court. Even though it’s my first time trying, I’m confident that I can cure you. If you feel something is off, remember to tell me right away. I’ll prescribe you some medicine to detox. We’ll deal with it from both aspects.”
“All right. Thank you, Olivia.” “No need for thanks. Even if I’m doing it for Jewel, I have to save you. Just act normal about it.”
Alex said, “I’m not scared, but I fear that Jewel might rush into things and do something she regrets later on. Please keep an eye on her. Even if I died, you mustn’t let her risk her life for my sake.” Olivia replied, “I know.”
She had just finished speaking when Jewel came out of North’s room. Her expression was stern, and fire seemed to burn in her eyes. When Olivia saw Jewel like that, she knew that they must have found something, so she hastily asked, “How is it? Did you find out anything?”
Jewel nodded. “The boss of the casino is none other than Phantom.” Olivia was surprised as well. “Phantom? Isn’t she in Double Dragon Court? Why would she be here?”
Jewel said, “She was transferred here half a year ago.”
Alex said, “Then she has a motive to kill Damian. She knows that Jewel is still alive, and she feared that Damian would leak her whereabouts and we would go to the casino to exact revenge on her. That’s why she killed Damian.”
When Olivia heard that, she looked at Jewel right away. Jewel didn’t say anything, but she simply let out a quiet snort. Her eyes were cold and void of warmth.
Olivia said worriedly, “Jewel, don’t act rashly. You’ve left Double Dragon Court for so long, and Phantom probably improved while you were gone. You may not be a match for her.” Jewel looked at Olivia and smiled at her comfortingly. “Don’t worry, I know.”
Even though she hadn’t trained in a while, she knew that Phantom was so skilled that she couldn’t be on the latter’s level even if she trained for a decade.
If Phantom was in Double Dragon Court, it was true that Jewel couldn’t exact revenge on her. However, Phantom was right under her nose now, so how could she let the latter off so easily?
Phantom had to pay for almost burning Jewel to death back then, and for hurting Alex this time. There was no chance of pardoning. Since the heavens had blessed Jewel with this opportunity, she would make Phantom pay for both crimes.
Alex was staring at Jewel’s expression all this while. He had a feeling that she wasn’t listening to what Olivia said.
He had a bad feeling in his heart as he tried to appeal to Jewel. “Jewel, when I’ve recovered, I’ll avenge you. You cannot risk your life, you hear that?” Jewel sat down next to him and said, “I hear you. I won’t risk my life.”
When Olivia saw Alex trying to convince Jewel, she was slightly reassured as she said, “I’ll prepare some medicine for you. You should go back to your room and rest now. When the medicine is ready, I’ll deliver it to you.”
Jewel nodded, then supported Alex as they walked to the bedroom. Olivia went to the clinic in front.
The entrance of the clinic was in a mess. George looked expressionlessly at the humble man with a noble aura, saying, “I’ve already said that she doesn’t want to see you. If you keep pestering us, I won’t go easy on you.”
