“It doesn’t seem like Mike’s been poisoned. However, his wrist pulse is abnormal, so something must be wrong with his body. The organization’s creations are bizarre and anti-human, so I can’t tell.
“Still, his life isn’t in danger for now.” After a pause, Austin looked at Mike. “In other words, you’re not dying anytime soon.”
Although it sounded blunt, Austin was being candid.
“That’s good enough.” Mike withdrew his hand, unbothered. “As long as I don’t die anytime soon, it won’t be an issue.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Being okay now doesn’t mean you’ll be okay later on. Various viruses don’t take effect immediately, okay? No one knows what her virus will do to you!” Austin was upset because he had suffered from Rhea’s creation before.
Seeing Mike taking it so lightly, he could not help but feel angry. Austin thought Mike had not realized how severe the onset of the poison could be. However, Austin was wrong—that was not what Mike meant.
The tired yet resolute Mike waved with a smile. “It’s not that I don’t fear dying. I think it’s good that the poison doesn’t take effect for now. We have many important tasks to do. I don’t care as long as I can rescue Nicky before my condition worsens.
“I mean it,” he murmured calmly.
