She knew better than to knit sweaters in front of these two men in the future.
Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering thumping sound coming from the gates of Green Plum Town.
Everyone in the living room was caught off guard, and their expressions turned to panic.
“What’s happening?” Zayne asked nervously.
“I’ll go take a look.” Baby Robbie was still somewhat calm.
Baby Robbie jogged all the way to the front. When he opened the door, he saw Judy standing by the door in a panic. She was out of breath when she said, “I need to see Brother Jay.”
Afterward, she tried to drill herself through the entrance.
Baby Robbie had quick reflexes. His back was leaning against the door frame as he stretched his long leg toward the opposite edge to block Judy’s path.
“What’s going on?” Baby Robbie was acting unruly at this moment, but he was still smiling warmly.
Judy had no other option but to tell him the truth. She anxiously said, “My father has been poisoned. It’s by no means one of Doomsday’s poison, so I came to ask for Brother Jay’s help. Perhaps he’ll be able to recognize it since he’s quite knowledgeable…”
Baby Robbie knew the seriousness of the matter, so he straightened up his back and said to Judy, “Come on it.”
Judy rushed into the living room and said, “You have to save my father, Brother Jay.”
Seeing Judy, Jay had instinctively stood up and walked toward the back of the room, avoiding her like the plague.
After hearing her words, his long legs froze in place as he turned his head to ask, “What’s wrong with your dad?”
Judy burst into tears. “I don’t know. After I came home from Green Plum Town, I realized that there’s something wrong with my father. He couldn’t speak, so I thought he was sick and gave him some medicine… But my father’s complexion turned darker and I realized he was poisoned.”
Jay thought of the assassin currently hiding in Doomsday and his heart sank.
Baby Robbie immediately cried aloud when he saw Zechariah, “Ack!”
Jay turned his head to look at Baby Robbie, the surprise in his eyes not dissipating.
“Have you seen this poison before?” Jay asked.
Baby Robbie explained, “I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it in person before.”
“Tell me more.”
“They call it the Phiz Poison. The poisoned person’s face will gradually turn from green to black. When their face turns black, even the best doctors on the planet wouldn’t be able to heal them.”
Baby Robbie looked at Zechariah. “The time a victim has from when they first get poisoned to their death is only eight hours. It’s the most effective type of cruel torture performed by many gangsters on their enemy. After being poisoned, the body slowly becomes paralyzed and their consciousness will soon be uncontrollable. Very soon, they’ll lose their communication abilities and that’ll be the best time for torture.”
