Chapter 713 - "A Tattoo"

"The virus really has no cure?" Marietta held her breath, trying to see whether Paul was lying or not, but Paul obediently shook his head. 

"There's no cure. But there's a vaccine...our troops are already vaccinated. Of course, the vaccine won't work for those who are already infected." 

When Ainsley heard this, she almost wanted to kill Paul right away. 

No cure, and the vaccines only worked for those who weren't infected yet. That's not really helpful, isn't it? Not to mention she didn't know how to get the vaccines! 

Say, in the worst-case scenario...all fifty virus carriers managed to inject the virus into fifty members of the Sloan Family. 

Then, even if they managed to isolate the victims based on unconscious ones an hour ago, there would still be more than fifty people, and those fifty could infect the rest of the suspects…

The casualties rate would be high. But it couldn't be helped. 

Ainsley couldn't just let the fifty infected people roam freely. They would inflict more damage than ever! 

It was better to confine all people who were unconscious an hour ago. That way, there would be no fish escaping the net. 

But she had to consider other people coming into contact with the primary fifty infected people...especially fifteen minutes ago. 

When the victims first got infected, there must be healers or other people around them, right? 

The virus spreads airborne through saliva, blood, and other body mucus, plus skin contact. 

Ainsley's response was fast, but there was a slight interval between the virus carriers with her command. 

If the virus carriers had finished injecting the target and innocent people came into contact with the target right after the target was infected…

Paul said that the virus would only show symptoms after a day, but it could already spread when it invaded the body. 

...there might be a lot more victims than what Ainsley predicted. 

Ainsley rubbed her temple and asked her people to isolate those who came into contact with the unconscious members. 

At the same time, she got several reports saying that some suspicious people were in black robes around the members. 

Ainsley's people already caught one or two, but they immediately committed suicide! There was nothing Ainsley's people could do to interrogate those people. 

Ainsley only had Paul as their guiding line. 

"Got it. To be safe, burn the corpses. Also, continue to find the suspicious black-robed people and isolate our members to the emergency building." 

Ainsley didn't tell those outside the mansion about the virus yet. 

After all, the Naran Family still put a fake struggle to mess with the Sloan Family members...she couldn't drop a bomb on her people and make them despair. 

The Naran Family was still fighting...they wanted to hide the fifty virus carriers using this chaos, right? 

Things would be even more complicated than before. 

Even after knowing that their commander was held captive, they didn't stop the attack and even said that they wanted to rescue the commander, which was Paul. 

"Save the commander! Attack!" 

"The Sloan Family must go to hell!" 

When Ainsley received a report of how the Naran Family still stirred problems for her people, she suddenly thought whether those people also carried a virus and intended to infect her people…

Marietta immediately asked what Ainsley doubted, and Paul shook his head. 

"The virus is hard to make. I only bought fifty tubes." 

Ainsley's eyes squinted at the word 'buy'. 

So...someone else sold the virus to the Naran Family? Who? Shouldn't it be forbidden to research on virus-making? 

"Who sold the virus to you?" 

At Marietta's question on behalf of Ainsley, Paul bit his lips and lowered his head as if to show his ignorance and helplessness. 

"I also don't really know the seller's identity. I only know that it's a mysterious research-based organisation...they seemed to be good in other things aside from research, though." 

Paul described what he knew about the seller in detail. 

He first met the seller at the black market and after the seller convinced him that the virus was real, Paul started to create this hideous plan to drag the Sloan Family to hell. 

The virus was expensive, but Paul could still afford fifty tubes plus the vaccines. Surprisingly, the vaccines were way cheaper than the virus itself! 

"The seller...I meet the seller three times, and the person always changes. The first time, it was an old man, the second time, a little girl, the third time...a young man." 

Paul tried hard to recall what he saw a few months ago at the black market before spilling more beans. 

"I think those appearances are also fakes because I can't see their faces clearly. Their faces are always blurry. Their voices...I think they use voice changers too." 

It was actually normal for those visiting the black market to hide their identity. Even Paul did the same when he saw the black market. 

No one would be stupid enough to wear their organisation's symbol or something. That would be dumb! 

"Ah, but I think I saw a glimpse of a tattoo on the back of the little girl's hand. It was really just a glimpse, so I don't really remember…" 

Paul paused before confessing what he remembered that day. 

"I think the tattoo looked like a lab tube or something...it was similar to the alchemist's building design." 

! 

Ainsley almost leapt off her throne. Even the Godfather, who was silent all this time, suddenly unleashed his murderous aura. 

[That symbol– ] 

[Yes, Godfather. I think it's that group of hunters...but the symbol is a bit different.] 

Alas, all of the symbols were laboratorium tubes in all types. 

It was the same organisation all along!
