"The remaining potion? Do you still have it?"
Gerald was stunned, worried that he had failed his mission for using up all the medicine.
"I used it all."
Amur frowned. "You used up a whole bottle?"
"I was afraid the mission would fail, so I added some to all the ingredients…" explained Gerald.
Amur let out a cold snort. "You sure are ruthless."
Gerald, desperate to complete his mission, was trembling in fear yet ruthless in his actions.
Abel would probably appreciate someone like him the most.
Gerald forced a smile and replied, "I had no choice. If they didn't die, I would have died with them. I don't want to die, and my family still needs me to take care of them."
Amur did not listen to his excuses. "Give me the bottle."
"Here." Gerald took the bottle out of his pocket. If he had not been worried that the police might be able to trace it back to him, he would have tossed it in the trash immediately.
Fortunately, he thought ahead and kept it, or he would not have had it when Amur asked for it.
Amur glanced at the empty bottle and remarked, "Completely empty. Impressive."
Gerald laughed awkwardly. Showing too much cruelty in front of Amur did not seem right, so he added, "I had no other choice. I was worried they wouldn't eat the salad, so I added a bit to all the ingredients."
Amur did not say anything.
Just an hour ago, this man was concerned about injuring the police. Now, he had added the potion to all the kitchen's ingredients without a second thought.
If he survived after being sent to the Island of Despair, he would undoubtedly become a formidable figure.
Amur drove him back to the base.
The men there were surprised to see them return.
"He’s still alive?"
"Amur, did you go easy on him?"
"He's crueler than any of you," Amur replied indifferently as he gave the men on the first floor a cold gaze.
Gerald looked at the men, their muscles bulging. He shuddered, thinking they could easily beat him so badly he would be bedridden.
Amur checked the time and reminded him, "You have half an hour of free time left. If I were you, I'd get back upstairs and let that guy bandage you up."
"Yes, yes," Gerald immediately replied and headed upstairs.
Phil was also surprised to see Gerald unharmed. "You made it back alive?"
"Mr. Amur found a good way for me," replied Gerald. Even though he did not feel any discomfort, he lay down on the bed and asked Phil, "Could you help me with the bandages?"
Phil noticed that Gerald's bandages were all removed. Annoyed, he clicked his tongue and fetched the medical supplies from the cabinet.
"What are the side effects of that potion?" Gerald asked uncertainly. Would there really be side effects?
He did not feel anything now.
He even thought about using that potion all the time, even when he was lying on the bed. As long as it kept the pain away, he would heal quickly.
"You'll find out soon enough." Phil did not elaborate, nor did he mention that when the effects of the drug wore off, Gerald would be in excruciating pain.
Despite the numbing effect of the drug, the pain Gerald's body had been enduring over the past four hours had been accumulating. When the drug's effects wore off, the suppressed pain would come back twice as intense.
