It was not like Clark did not suspect whether Susan was actually cured, but the rashes on Susan’s body did fade.
He was confident in his creation. Even to cure the simplest rashes was not something that could be done overnight, yet this Dr. Yale had done it within hours. I n addition to the herb that he had never seen before, Clark could not help believing it as well.
It would have been fine that Susan was the only one who had found the antidote but Julian and she seemed to be in a good mood recently as they attended dinners and events, publicizing about Susan being poisoned and cured.
Usually, people were just surprised when they heard the news, but things sounded different when it came t o some other people.
Clark had kept his rein on a few Canadian higher-ups with the Errol Virus throughout the years, making them his puppets because of the virus.
Now that news of Susan being cured was making rounds, how could these higher-ups sit around with a noose on their neck?
Even when Dr. Yale said that the specific herb had run out of supply, the people that were under his manipulation were eager. If Dr. Yale could find the herb once, perhaps he could find it a second or third time!
Clark could completely feel the urgency in them during this period of time.
His gaze dropped to a chilling glint.
It was normal.
Ever since the Errol Virus had been produced, no one had been able to escape the virus’s controlling claws. Now, Susan had. She was an exception, a model, a beacon of hope to those people.
With the people swayed, Clark must resort to some tactics to suppress these people's eager and impatient hearts.
Since the cause of everything was Susan escaping the Errol Virus's threat, the best way to instill intimidation back again was to let Susan die from the exact virus!
This was the only way he could let those people know that the Errol Virus still stood unbeatable.
Clark utilized his influence discreetly. He was going to kill Dr. Yale. As long as he died, the Errol Virus would still be incurable.
However, Julian knew as much. He had arranged his and Wright's men all around Dr. Yale’s place. Clark's people could not even go near. Once they approached the place, they would be exposed.
Clark could only give up on that option.
The herb was depleted for now anyway. Who knew how long it would take for Dr. Yale to find it again?
That route was futile, so Clark planned to hatch his scheme on the Wrights or Straws, but Julian was too alert. People were guarding Susan 24/7, and even Madam Shaw, who was far in Ningcheng City, was guarded heavily. He simply had no opportunity to do anything.
A month went on like that.
Then, there was news that Dr. Yale, with the company of professionals, was going into the Boreal Forest again. Before going there, he expressed that he vaguely remembered the route he had taken back then, and if all was smooth, he could find the herb within two to three days.
Clark sat alone in his room for a long time when he received the news.
