The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 588

Jermaine nodded. “Since Mr. Yonce has said so, hold on then.”

Upon receiving the permission, the girl immediately moved aside for Boris to take a better look at Josiah's right hand. The mage then lifted the young man's arm directly.

Aside from the putrid stench spreading across the entire room, what came within sight was how the five fingers on Josiah's right hand had turned dark in color, with blood streaming out of his wounds continuously.

“Mr. Cadden, how did your son get hurt?” Boris inquired.

“I heard from his classmate that he was bitten on his fingers by something. Because of that, he became unconscious and fell onto the floor, knocking his head hard on the ground. He turned into this state since then. I've consulted many professionals and done all sorts of tests. The consensus is that Josiah isn't poisoned, nor does he have a brain injury. Yet, no one could tell why he hasn’t regained consciousness, and worst still, he's relying on the ventilator for life support,” Jermaine revealed.

“Bitten?” A crease began to form between Boris' brows as he stared at Josiah's dark fingers. “So, the wounds on his fingers never healed?”

“Yes, it has been in that state. He needs our constant attention to help him change into a clean wound dressing soaked in antiseptic. Otherwise, it’ll rot and start to smell after some time. We've even seen maggots crawling and feeding on his exposed flesh before.” Jermaine could not help but direct a distressed gaze to Josiah as he spoke.

“I see. If I'm not wrong, your son must've gotten bit by a venomous parasite from Mapleton. And the cause for his vegetative state is no other than that,” Boris announced.

“A venomous parasite from Mapleton?” Jermaine frowned. “If that's the case, why aren't there any signs of poisoning in the tests the experts have done for him?”

Boris displayed a faint smile. “Mr. Cadden, if lab tests can reveal the reason for poisoning, then I don't think there’s a need for you to invite me over, isn't it? In this world, there are many things that machines can't trace!”

Hearing those words, Jermaine could only flash him an awkward smile. He's right. If those experts and professionals could save Josiah, there's no need for me to invite him here.

“Well, Mr. Yonce, since we've found the reason, do you have a cure for Josiah?” he asked eagerly.

“I can only try my best. Though I've heard that Mapleton is a level above the rest in terms of utilizing poisons, I've never encountered it. However, Jadeborough is very far from Mapleton. How did their parasite appear here?”
