Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 777

Type 1 molecular virus? It was an ancient virus, at least a century old. It was mostly used by tribal chiefs to control their subordinates, as those poisoned would suffer immensely in the later stages if left untreated. Such a cruel concoction had long since disappeared. Why was Juniper looking it up?

“Ebony Fox…” After a few seconds of thought, Shanley’s fingers tightened, his deep eyes narrowing.

“Yes,” Juniper confirmed, composing herself as her fingers flew across the keyboard. She then accessed a dark website, a marketplace for all sorts of rare items.

One of the ingredients for the Type 1 molecular virus was a component named “A-N0.” Legend had it that it was a plant discovered centuries ago in the Great Rift Valley on the Fernweh Continent. Due to its special growing conditions, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Despite its high medicinal value, it quickly went extinct.

To this day, “A-N0” had vanished without a trace. Many medical professionals and pharmacologists had never even heard of it.

Juniper searched the website thoroughly but found no sign of “A-N0.”

Nothing? How could there be nothing? Juniper clenched her fists, the veins on the back of her hands standing out. The mouse in her palm creaked under the pressure, on the verge of shattering.

“Juniper.” At that critical moment, a large, warm hand gently covered hers, its heat quickly seeping into her cold heart.

Juniper turned to meet the worried look in the man’s eyes, and the strength she had been forcing herself to maintain completely shattered.

“We’ll find the antidote, right?” she asked, staring at his face, her voice hoarse.

By the time Juniper found the herb and rushed back, she was greeted only by Lemuel's memorial service. She had always regretted it, wishing she had returned sooner… even just one day earlier, she might have saved him. It was a pain Juniper would never forget.

That's why she was so afraid that Ebony Fox would suffer the same agonizing death as Lemuel.

“Subterra Vanguard and Sigma Network will search together. Even if we have to turn the entire planet upside down, I will find that antidote for you,” Shanley said, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from her forehead. “Don’t be afraid, Juniper. Even if the sky falls, I’ll be here to hold it up for you.”

“I’m touched,” Juniper said, staring quietly at Shanley. After a few seconds, her brow relaxed. “But don’t think for a second this means I’ve forgotten that you went against my orders.”

Shanley froze for a moment, then a fond smile spread across his handsome face.
