The boy clung tightly to the man, his eyes brimming with desperation as he looked at her. "Ms. Flora, please save my brother! He’s on the brink!"
Flora’s lips twisted into a sly smile. “Relax, it’s just a minor issue. He’s not going to die.”
Mr. Atticus was taken aback. “Minor issue?!”
I thought he was knocking on death’s door?
Flora pulled out a small knife and skillfully made a shallow cut on the man’s chest. Almost immediately, the man, whose face had been an alarming shade of purple, began to breathe easier, and his complexion started to return to normal.
Putting the knife away, Flora chuckled. “The poison’s neutralized. Their condition was due to blood clots blocking their lungs. A simple fix.”
“What?!”
Mr. Atticus’s face contorted in shock. He rushed to check the man on the ground. His face went from green to white and back again, glaring daggers at Flora. “Are you messing with me?!”
Rage boiled in his eyes. Who would’ve thought he’d get played by a woman!
The poison was already neutralized!
They were just suffering from blood clots near their hearts!
With his skills, he should have noticed, but he’d been too panicked and insecure. Seeing someone in danger, he’d instinctively assumed his detoxification method had failed.
Seeing his reaction, Flora turned to him with a smile that said it all: “Yup, I played you. What’re you gonna do about it?”
“You!”
Mr. Atticus was so furious he felt faint and collapsed to the ground.
The onlookers from various factions exchanged uneasy glances. Clearly, underestimating a woman had been a grave mistake.
