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."
