Chapter 1163 Heading To Bromwich
When Kate was suddenly faced with that question, her heart raced. Could there be surveillancecameras in the study, and I’ve been caught on camera?
“What book are you talking about? Your study is usually locked. Hence, even if I wanted to come in andlook at your books, I couldn’t! Our daughter’s illness hasn’t been cured yet. Are you searching formedical treatments?” Fearful that she might expose herself, Kate deliberately steered the conversationtoward Emmalyn.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be visiting the Venenum Clan for a while. Take good care of our daughter. If anythingunexpected happens, go find my father,” said Alex as he closed the door to his study.
His top priority was to visit the Venenum Clan. After all, their research on poisonous insects wasextremely thorough. There was a chance someone there could cure the poison in Emmalyn’s body.
The toxins in Emmalyn’s body were still spreading, so Alex couldn’t afford to waste even a second. Heasked Jack to prepare a private jet to head to the Venenum Clan.
After sitting on a plane for several hours and then enduring a long car ride, Alex finally arrived at therather famous Venenum Clan.
What intrigued him was that everyone there wore masks, and very few people went out. After walkingaround for half a day, he only saw five or six people. Just as he was about to approach them and asksome questions, they went straight into their houses and closed the doors.
Just as he was feeling somewhat disheartened, a middle-aged man wearing a mask passed by in frontof him. Fearing that the man might get away, he quickly approached him and grabbed his shoulder.
Alex moved quickly, and the man didn’t even have a chance to run before he was caught. That startledthe middle-aged man quite a bit.
“Excuse me, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you,” Alex said apologetically.
The middle-aged man originally wanted to flee, but seeing Alex being so polite, he decided not to run.Instead, he maintained a certain distance from Alex and took out a small bottle from his pocket,spraying its contents toward Alex.
Wrinkling his nose, Alex caught a whiff of the pungent alcohol scent lingering in the air.
After spraying more than a dozen times, the middle-aged man finally put the small bottle back into hispocket. “You must be from out of town, right? I can’t believe you have the guts to walk around withoutat mask. You’re really risking your life!”novelbin
“What’s going on here? Why is everyone staying indoors and wearing masks?” Alex asked in surprise.
Speaking of that issue, the middle-aged man sighed. “Recently, the flu has been very severe in thisvillage, and quite a few people have died. To avoid getting infected, everyone is staying indoors. Unlessthere’s something particularly important, people generally stay at home.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a mask out of his pocket and handed it to Alex. “For your ownsafety, please put on this mask first! Otherwise, I won’t dare to continue talking to you.”
As Alex was a Grandmaster, his immune system was far stronger than that of ordinary people. Thus,the flu wouldn’t do anything to him.
Since I’ve come to this place, I may as well follow the rules here. Without any hesitation, Alex acceptedthe mask and
put it on.
“I remember there are always some influenza and flu every year, but it’s never been so serious as tocause death,” Alex remarked.
“This year is different! It’s only happening in our village, not in other places. I heard that someoneangered the divine being in our village, so the patron saint is unwilling to protect us anymore. Theyhave sent the disease to punish us,” the middle-aged man explained.
Divine being? Patron saint? These mysterious things are something I absolutely don’t believe in. Theysound like a myth, utterly unrealistic. Alex thought.
At that moment, each household’s tightly closed doors opened simultaneously. Many families promptlyemerged from their homes.
Alex was utterly shocked by the scene before him. Didn’t the middle-aged man say earlier that no onewill go out unless there’s an extremely urgent matter? What’s going on now?
