"You—" That unexpected question sounded like a thunderbolt in Magnum's mind. He shuddered and stuttered, "What do you mean?"
As he spoke, his head was in a buzz, and he was distressed.
'Why did he specifically ask me? Did he know I was the one who poisoned the Mistress with the Hysteria Powder?'
'No, no way. He had just become the Pure Yang Division's head of the Elixir Sector. Plus, we don't know each other. How would he know what happened three years ago?'
'That's impossible.'
'But why did he not ask anyone else but me?'
For a moment, Magnum was nervous and suspicious. The sweat on his body almost drenched his clothes.
Looking at the situation, everyone, including Zacho and the elders, was secretly wondering about that.
'What's up with Magnum today? He looks so sensitive. The head of the Elixir Sector only casually asked him a question, and he's acting so nervous.'
Feeling doubtful, the few elders could not help but ask.
"Elder Walt, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes. Why are you sweating so badly?"
"Are you okay?"
Magnum felt helpless after hearing the elders' questions. He wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a smile. "I am perfectly fine. Perhaps it's the weather today."
As he spoke, he glared at Darryl ferociously.
'D*mn it. That man almost exposed me.'
