After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 867

Chapter 867

"EMPEROR? Did he really think he was an emperor?" Sylvia sneered, a sharp glint in her cold eyes.

Franklin met her beautiful gaze and his heart skipped a beat at the sight of her delicate face. "Is EMPEROR dealing illegal weapons in the red-light district?"

Casey nodded vigorously. "Yes, many of the arms deals in the red-light district are run by him. Since it's already an illegal area, what he does there is technically legal. But if he takes his business outside of that area, it becomes illegal. We've only heard rumors about him taking people to H Rovirsa so if you want to investigate further, that's where you should start."

"He leads a group called EMPEROR's Green Army and they're disgusting and despicable," Casey continued with a shudder. "They only rose to power within the past six months or so; before that there was no sign of EMPEROR in the red-light district at all. It seems like his influence has been slowly growing since last year and now he's taken over many docks."

She couldn't help but shiver as she spoke about EMPEROR. "I'm afraid things won't be peaceful in the red-light district anytime soon. The injured men who stayed with me recently were fighting against EMPEROR's men and got hurt badly because of it. They hate him so much they told us everything they know about him."

After listening carefully to Casey's words, Sylvia nodded thoughtfully before speaking up again: "Thank you for providing this information; we hadn't considered investigating the red-light district before but now it seems necessary."

Previously they had been focused on investigating the Wilson Family but now it seemed like this matter was more complex than originally thought - the Wilson Family might not be responsible for everything after all.

Especially since Clark had gone missing without any trace.

Franklin let out a long sigh before grasping Sylvia's hand tightly. "I'll send Vaughn to investigate this matter."

His voice was low and melodious like a cello which made his words even more convincing.

Sylvia couldn't help but nod along. "Good idea."

"Secretly Greatly" was also helping them investigate the Hipps family while members from their own organization were looking into this matter as well.

Framing an ancient family wasn't something small - there were interests involved as well as various forces at play behind-the-scenes which made things complicated indeed!

After finishing the story about the Hipps family, Casey felt a bit shy and nervously tugged at her clothes. She glanced over at Sylvia before gathering up her courage to speak. "Miss Andrews, do you have any hidden illnesses? Why did you buy detox pills? If there's anything bothering you, I... I can take a look for you."

The Gentry family was known for their expertise in treating difficult and complex medical conditions.

Sylvia was taken aback for a moment. She hadn't even taken the detox pill yet, but considering the attitude of the Gentry family now, she hesitated before extending her wrist. "Please check my pulse."

Casey sat down excitedly but then quickly jumped up again to wash his hands in the bathroom with a clatter of noise. After all, it was nerve-wracking to take someone's pulse as an act of gratitude.

He placed his fingers on Sylvia's wrist and after several minutes passed by, his nervous expression gradually turned serious.

After some time had passed by he finally let go of her hand and said to Carmelo, "Uncle Carmelo, please come take a look."

Carmelo glanced at his face before asking, "Master Casey, what happened? Is Miss Andrews' pulse abnormal?"

As he spoke he took over from where Casey had been sitting earlier and continued taking Sylvia's pulse.

"This pulse seems... at first glance, it appears normal - calm and steady with strength behind it - but later on, it becomes slightly tense with occasional surges which is..."

Carmelo withdrew his fingers from Sylvia's wrist while observing her face unusually closely. "Her complexion is healthy-looking, so she doesn't seem ill but this strange pulsation doesn't seem like an illness either..."

He looked back towards Casey again, saying, "Master, why don't we try bloodletting?"

Casey hurriedly asked Sylvia, "My benefactor, may we draw some blood for examination?"

Sylvia chuckled softly, saying, "Just a little bit will do."

She then had Jasper retrieve a needle from their hotel room storage box which she used to prick herself causing fresh blood droplets to well up on her finger tip.

"This blood looks bright red so it doesn't look like you're poisoned?"

"Wait... why does this blood also contain traces of gold?"

Both Casey and Carmelo were shocked by what they saw as they stared at Sylvia's bleeding finger tip.

"You..."

Sylvia wiped away the droplets from her finger using cotton swabs then pressed down firmly until no more bleeding occurred before discarding them into trash bin nearby saying; "Have you ever heard of something called Love Parasite?"

As soon as those words left her mouth both men's faces changed color simultaneously; "Love Parasite? They really exist in this world?"

"It disappeared from this world a long time ago, didn't it? How could it still exist?" Carmelo and Casey looked at each other in confusion.

Casey couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that you were poisoned by Love Parasite?"

Sylvia smiled as she looked at him. "Yes."

Casey widened her eyes in shock. "You were poisoned by Love Parasite and yet you can sit here perfectly fine? I heard that if someone is poisoned and doesn't have someone to temporarily quench their thirst, they will explode and die."

Carmelo's heart was pounding wildly. "I am lucky enough to meet a patient carrying the Love Parasite in my lifetime! It's truly an honor!"

"This Love Parasite was something I was poisoned with several years ago," Sylvia sighed softly. "Luckily, I met Franklin or else I would have died long ago. But unfortunately, once this toxin enters your body, it is very difficult to remove."
