206 Chapter 198 - An Ordinary Village. (1/2)

”Don't worry... I'm al... *cough*...” All of the sudden, Dominic coughed blood and lost his consciousness.

”Uncle Dominic!!!” Maria shouted, and Nathan immediately rushed into the room as he heard the commotions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secret base, lounge, Chris and Ben are still analyzing the samples collected. Chris is getting more troubled as they get more detailed information from the samples. Suddenly, he received a video call from Maria.

”Maria? Is there anything you need from me?” Chris answered the video call.

”Chris-chan, emergency situation! It's Uncle Dominic!” said Maria, rather anxious.

”Uh... I'll just ignore this 'Uncle' thing, what's wrong with Dominic?” Chris asked, rather casual.

”It's...” Maria doesn't know how to explain the situation so he switched the video view to Dominic who is lying on the bed, unconscious and a bit pale.

Chris frowned as he saw that condition of Dominic.

”Tsk... So it's much worse than what I expected.” said Chris, a bit worried.

”What? Chris chan, what do you mean by that?” Maria asked.

”Well...” And so Chris told Maria about what he found out about Dominic the day before.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Chris, Dominic's body is deteriorating after that attack from the dragons hundreds of years ago. He had been using a type of medicine that is recommended by Dan to stabilize and control his body's condition, however, the medicine provided by Dan doesn't actually improve Dominic's health condition, it only gives a fake 'illusion' that Dominic's body is getting better after consuming it, in fact, due to a tiny amount of special ingredient used in the medicine that is harmful to angels, it is slowly destroying Dominic's body from inside.

And now with Dan getting caught and taken away by the Kingdom, without the effect of the medicine, Dominic's health started to show problems again, and the effect of the harmful substance shows up along with that.

”I wasn't aware of that until I found some weird yet familiar scents from a cup he used every day, since it's been used for that medicine for such a long time every single day, that scent will remain on the cup despite of been cleaned.” said Chris.

”You mean his former assistant tried to poison him?” Maria asked, rather shocked.

”I believe so, it's a really slow and unnoticeable poison though.” said Chris.

”What should we do about that? Do you know any cure for that poison?” Maria asked, rather emotional.

”Tea? Give me a second... You mean the one in the crystal jar?” Maria asked after he found a jar of tea leaves.

”Yes. That's what I'm talking about. You know how to use it right?” said Chris

”Aye! I will prepare it now! I shall call you back later! Bye!” said Maria, rather excited before ended the video call which he calls back again in a few seconds.

”Uh... Anything wrong?” Chris asked.

”Yes, Uncle Dominic is unconscious right now, how should I get him to consume it?” Maria asked.

”Ah... You said you know how to use it. Nevermind. The tea leaves can be used in two methods, the first method is of course as tea to drink, the second method is as incense. Put the crushed tea leaves into a small pot of steaming water, the aroma released will have the same effect as drink on directly... Well... Probably milder.” said Chris.

”I see! I shall do it now! See you!” said Maria before ended the call again.
