The imperial lion sprinted rapidly out of the building clutching Lee in between its teeth. Lee's body was now hanging loose downwards as if he was not even breathing. James too quickly followed them, running as rapidly as he could, out of the building. Now their only hope was the old monk, who might have some herb to cure the venom. Though the herb did not work during the time of Miso's poisoning, but they were hopeful that it might work this time on Xio Lee.
In the meanwhile, Kareem had now started jerking his body rapidly and suddenly opened his eyes straight away looking at the snake. He then smiled a bit and quickly started to drink the venom faster. "I did not know, I would need you this early Serpy!" he drank the venom and lifted his body a bit, looking around him drinking more and more venom.
"I know, what you are looking at bro. Everyone is fine bro, except master Lee. He got scratched by the snake's fang and his entire body has now turned blue. Lizie aunty has taken him to the old monk. Hopefully everything will be alright." Raol sighed looking at Kareem telling him everything that happened and how imperial lions killed the other lions and how he summoned Serpry after being told by Whitey.
As soon as Kareem heard the boy's words, his anger spiked up again. He was now drinking the venom quickly and was already emitting the fumes from his body rapidly. His red eyes turned to look at Rose and Lillian who were together desperately trying to stop Augus's power, by constantly throwing heaps of dust at him.
Kareem quickly sat upright and with one quick jump stood on his feet in anger. The mere thought of Xio Lee getting infected had made him extremely angry. This was the angriest he has ever been in his life and he looked at Augus in anger. He signalled Rose and Lillian to stop throwing dust at him and they both stopped getting a signal from the boy who now looked absolutely healthy and strong.
The female imperial lion was now constantly starring at everybody making sure nobody gets hurt from its family. Suddenly from the door, white cub of the imperial lion came running waging its tail, while happily clutching something in its mouth. It came running towards Lillian and placed down the object in its mouth and waged its tail once again proudly.
Lillian smiled patting the cub's head but was stunned to see long hair strands on the ground. " Huh? These are hairs?! They look like mine." She then turned to look at Rose and noticed her hair had been chopped off.
"These are my hair mom. Had to chop them off as they got infected. I think tiny got confused and picked up my hair instead as it has same properties." Rose shrugged and then suddenly she noticed something shining underneath the hair strands and she quickly jerked away her hair and saw the shining metallic sword on the ground. "Oh tiny! You found it." The cub waged its tail and Rose and Lillian patted its head smiling. "You solved our problem sweetie."
Rose spoke happily and she then quickly got hold of the sword and ran towards Rhehan throwing the sword in his direction. Rhehan's face lit up looking at his sword and he quickly caught hold of it jumping in the air.
Horus quickly took a chance and kicked away Stefen and pulled out his own sword form his throne standing up on his feet, with his shaking legs. Rhehan signalled Stefen to move aside as he knew that the sword fight was now going to be extremely dangerous for anybody to intervene. It was only Rhehan who could kill Horus and it was only Kareem who could match the power of Augus!
"Thank you Serpy, please go back to the woods. It is risky for you to stay here now."Kareem spoke softly and then soon turned to look at Augus, who was now blinking his eyes trying to see clearly. Kareem's skin was now turning dark and he looked at his father, who looked very different to him for the first time. Steve's skin was darker and his eyes were red. His long fang and teeth were hanging from his mouth and Kareem for a second wondered if Raol was right and he himself too looked this scary in anger?
"My son, how are you?" Augus smiled warmly looking at Kareem. All this while Augus had always begged Horus to save Rose's life only because he knew how much Kareem had loved her.
"Do not call me your son." Kareem spoke in disgust looking at Steve.
Steve's face had now grown lighter and he now looked almost normal as soon as Kareem stood in front of him. "You know I love you right. Just because I did not love your mother does not mean I do not love you. We have had such good moments together my son and I know; you also love me a lot." Steve smiled warmly walking a bit close to Kareem.
"Cut this crap dad. All of this does not matter now. You and I are in enemy teams and all I know is that have to defeat you." Kareem spoke in an angry tone looking at the old man.
"And who told you this? Your mother? That Xio Lee? Did you ever have a word with me about it? Besides did they ever believe you? All this while they were so scared of you. They did not even consider telling you any of the family secrets." Augus spoke in an angry tone walking closer to Kareem and patting his shoulders. "We are not different teams. We have a common lineage and we will always be in the same team my son. No matter who ever says anything we will always be together." He hugged the boy happily, patting his back.
A tear dropped down from Kareem's eye and he hugged back his father tightly. More and more tears dropped down from his eyes and he took deep breaths, trying to control his emotions.
