Meanwhile, Arielle discovered a type of snake venom in the man’s blood serum. “The snake venom must have come from Manchernius.”
“Snake venom?” Zachary, who stood beside her, disagreed with her analysis. “It’s impossible! During our blood test earlier, his blood sample didn’t match with all the snake venoms in our database!”
Even the patient’s doctor nodded in agreement. “Dr. Ziegler’s right. His blood sample didn’t match with the snake venoms in our database. Yes, there’s venom in his body, but we’re not sure what it is.”
“It’s snake venom for sure,” Arielle refuted steadily. “Some snakes are bred and farmed specifically, and they’re fed with poison. The farmers would then mate those snakes to produce offsprings that are one of a kind. From what I know, they had successfully bred seven types of snakes, and these snakes are called Seven Deadly Sins. The venom in the patient’s body belongs to Furious Devil—one of the seven snakes.”
The patient’s doctor was taken aback upon hearing that name. He stuttered, “Fu…Furious Devil?”
Arielle nodded. “That’s right.”
The snake must be the manifestation of anger. But why? What are they angry about?
Zachary, on the other hand, snorted. “Seven Deadly Sins? The manifestation of anger? Come on. We’re not shooting a psychological thriller here, so please don’t
crack this kind of joke. Queenie’s coming back soon. I’m sure she’ll know what to do with the patient as long as we keep him stable.”
Arielle shook her head. “We’re running out of time. Of all the snake venoms, Furious Devil is the most powerful one, as it could destroy the platelets in the victim’s blood. It wouldn’t pose a threat to ordinary folks because platelets can regenerate rapidly, but it’s fatal for the patient with hemophilia. He would be dead by the time the doctor arrives.”
The doctor then checked the patient’s latest data and realized he had a low platelet count, as Arielle had predicted
Zachary cast a doubtful glance at her. “You said the venom is deadly. Are you capable of treating the patient?”
