Soon, the needles were retrieved. The 500 men collapsed to the ground, all of them incapacitated.
Watching this take place before him, Shaun swallowed hard. Lily was just as formidable as Loid. 500 people wouldn't pose a threat to Loid as well if he was in his prime.
However, Lily was a girl—a mere 19-year-old! How could she possibly be this powerful?
While Shaun was still in a daze, Elijah arrived on the scene with his men. He was unfazed when he saw the people lying limp on the ground.
Perfectly composed, he strode up to Lily and asked, "Reese, how should we deal with these people?"
As Lily's right-hand man, Elijah knew that she had incapacitated these people. This was her customary punishment.
Thanks to her legendary medical skills and profound anatomical knowledge, she was capable of ending someone's life without them realizing it.
But Lily rarely killed. Elijah once asked why she spared people's lives, and she said her priority was to save lives since someone had taught her medical skills. Killing was her last resort.
Not many died in Lily's hands over these years as her subordinates handled the killing instead. Thus, having her deal with people personally indicated something even worse than death.
"Force the poison down their throat and find out who they are. Kick them out later!" Lily said coldly before taking her leave.
Elijah couldn't help but shudder. The poison mentioned was a poison she specially concocted, named "Doomspike Elixir".
True to its name, anyone who took the poison would suffer excruciating pain every day until they finally couldn't bear it and resorted to suicide. Otherwise, the agony would accompany them for life.
Not daring to idle on any longer, Elijah ordered his men to acquire the poison swiftly. Then, he carried on with clearing their surroundings.
Lily hopped back into the car, and Daniel was still dumbfounded. He hadn't snapped out of his reverie. Paying no heed to him, she opened the door and stared at Shaun. He was still rooted on the spot.
