'The Red-ringed Centipede is venomous! And it's toxic!' Instantly, Yolanda panicked and her eyes turned red. She wanted to pull Sergio up but she did not dare to.
'I'm not sure if the venom is contagious,' she thought.
Sergio covered his face with one hand and pointed the other at Darryl as he endured the pain. "You… Was it you? How did you know that it's venomous?"
As he spoke, his eyes were blood-red and he wished he could kill Darryl in the most inhuman way possible. 'This guy talked about the origins of the Red-ringed Centipedes. That means he has something to do with the venomous Red-ringed Centipede. I'm sure he is. He used it to hurt me.'
Yolanda stomped her feet as she heard Sergio. "Sergio, why are you still against Dart? He already reminded you but you refused to listen."
She was almost in tears and she thought Sergio was being too petty.
At the same time, Darryl sighed and shook his head at Sergio. "I thought I'd attempt to save you, but I never thought you'd still be against me. It's fine. It's just a matter of life and death. Go ahead and endure the torment of the venom."
Sergio laughed miserably and shouted at Yolanda self-righteously, "Yolanda, you heard him. He knows how to cure the venom and what does that mean? It means he was the one who brought the venomous Red-ringed Centipede. This man has ulterior motives and he's not a good person. Quickly get the antidote from him and kill him."
'This man is really hopeless.' Darryl shook his head in silence and kept a straight face. He was not worried that Yolanda would attack him. After all, she was kind and could judge for herself.
Sure enough, Yolanda trembled out of anger and stomped her feet. "If you continue being like this, I won't care about you either. You're on your own then!"
Then, she turned around, wanting to leave.
Sergio panicked and shouted, "Yolanda, don't go!"
After that, he apologized to Darryl and said, "Dart, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that and I promise I won't do it again."
