Chapter 370 The 'King' Wants To See You
Joseph Shaw reacted to the situation and could not help saying, "Thank you, Mr. Samael. However, I don't have any other requests. If it’s permissible, I'd like a full antidote for the Errol Virus."
The Errol Virus was precisely the virus that was injected into his subordinates.
The virus would cause a flare up every three months and would result in extremely terrifying pain. What was the extent of its terror? The first time it happened, the person behind the curtain injected the medication for them. They were unaware of the terror of this virus at the time. As a result, they did not carry out the task as instructed by the person behind the curtain right away.
Thereupon, the medication took effect three months later.
The agony haunted Joseph so much that he did not have the courage to reminisce about it until now.
The torment of pain that lasted three days and three nights haunted the first batch of 100 people that were injected with the medication.
90 people were dead! They died from the pain. Every single one of the states of their death was enough to bring nightmares to an adult man for a very long time.
Nine people were driven to madness from the torment.
Even though they were still alive, their mental state was no longer normal.
One should know that they were still mentally deranged now.
The only person who lived and was not driven to madness was himself.
He lived, yet the others either died or went mad.
How could Joseph accept this?
Moreover, Joseph could not possibly allow his subordinates to experience the agony anymore after experiencing the pain firsthand.
The second and third batch followed. The person behind the curtain possessed the extraordinary power of getting what he wanted. More and more people were injected with the Errol Virus.
From then on, they were incapable of escaping the possibility of being controlled.
When they chose to cooperate, they received a simplified antidote once every three months. The act o f consuming the simplified antidote would render the virus inactive from causing a flare up temporarily.
However, it was not a permanent cure. Before they could get their hands on the full version of the antidote, they could only repeat the ordeal that happened once every three months over and over again. Their lives were still in control of the person behind the curtain.
"Full antidote?" Mr. Samael took a glance at Joseph, then laughed. "Frankly speaking, there’s nothing bad about the simplified version of the antidote either. As long as all of you stay obedient, we will send over the medication regularly. Or are you trying to tell me that you wish to revolt, Joseph?"
Chills ran down Joseph's back. He could not help laughing and said, "I feel bad for troubling you once every three months. It's not convenient for you, Mr. Samael."
"It’s fine, I just need to do the leg work."
"If you don't mind the trouble, I won't have any issues either, Mr. Samael," said Joseph in a haste.
Mr. Samael shot a glance at Joseph with a spurious smile on his face, then said, “Good then. Alright, let's take these corpses with us. Even though it seems like i t can't be mistaken, the eyes can still deceive you. We will still need to further verify this."
Joseph panicked at once. "Mr. Samael, how long does this verification take? The time is..."
Mr. Samael chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll still hand over the simplified version of antidote to you in advance regardless of the verification result."
"Thank you, Mr. Samael." Joseph felt relieved.
Joseph's subordinates began moving the corpses.
Julian said with a cold expression, “Joseph, I did what I've promised now. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise too. Hand over Susan and Serenity. I'm taking them to leave with me."
Joseph glanced at Mr. Samael.
"Let's not rush things.” Mr. Samael looked at Julian with a smile. "When we're done with the verification and confirming the identities of the deceased, we will release you and Susan naturally."
Coldness flashed past Julian's eyes involuntarily." What do you mean? Are you trying to breach the contract?"
"Breach the contract? Don't make it sound so unpleasant." Mr. Samael raised an eyebrow. "We only need to perform the final verification for a short while and it will only take three days at most. You will gain your freedom when the result is out. As for the next few days, I'm going to trouble you with leaving us for the time being."
Julian clenched his teeth in rage and there was a raging fire burning in his gaze. "You've gone too far!"
"However, you can’t resist us either, right?" Mr. Samael laughed.
Julian looked at Susan who was still restrained and then he said coldly, "I can leave with you. However, you have to let us go after three days."
"When the verification result is out and it is confirmed that those people are George and Oliver Wright, sure of course." Mr. Samael cracked into a proud smile.
The helicopter arranged by Joseph was already waiting by the side. Everyone boarded the helicopter and the corpses on the ground were shifted into the cabin as well.
On the helicopter.
"Go." Joseph cast a glance at someone.
The person nodded, procured equipment, and walked toward Julian.
"What are you doing?" said Julian coldly. 1
"Nothing. You're good at playing tricks so I have to take precautions, of course," said Joseph calmly.
The person used the equipment to scan all over Julian's body, then took out some communication devices from his body in succession. In the end, it was discovered that a button on Julian’s top was actually a tracking device.
The inspection was carried out twice to ensure that there was no error, then the person returned to Joseph.
Joseph tossed the button toward the sea calmly, then looked at Julian with a spurious smile. "A tracking device. Do you think that you can hide a measly trick like this from me, cousin?"
Julian's expression appeared rather unpleasant but h e did not speak anymore.
Joseph narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "Fly at full throttle."
Soon, the helicopter landed outside the island. Joseph brought the group of people back to the central town.
"When will Susan and Serenity regain consciousness?" Julian could finally get near Susan. H e caressed her slightly pale face and could not help asking.
"Don't worry, she'll wake up in just a few hours," said Joseph.
Mr. Samael blinked and suddenly said, "The antidote i s in these boxes. Joseph, take this and let your subordinates have the injection first."
"Thank you, Mr. Samael." Joy that could not be concealed flashed past Joseph's eyes, then he went to distribute the antidote personally. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
In Joseph's departure, Mr. Samael looked at Julian in excitement, then said, "Julian, our king wants to see you."
"King?” Julian shot a mocking glance at him. "I couldn’t tell that you're rather childish despite us being quite old."
Mr. Samael disregarded Julian’s mockery but he said nonchalantly, "Joseph has never even met the king after joining us. Julian, this is the greatest honor for you. I will give you three seconds to consider if you wish to meet our king?"
Julian's pupils constricted ever so slightly. Then he said, "Yes, why don't I meet him? I want to find out who is thirsting for revenge so badly with me such that he is making me betray my own family.”
"Eventually, you will learn that our king is afraid that you might take the wrong path and he is helping you actually," said Mr. Samael.
Julian had only let out a scoff coldly.
Mr. Samael did not bother to comment much either. H e raised an eyebrow and turned around to walk to the outside. "Follow me."
Julian turned around and took a glance at the unconscious Susan. Then he gave her forehead a gentle kiss before he followed Mr. Samael.
