50 Chapter 50 : Investigation (2/2)
Angelica, lost in thought, forgot about the tea and the person behind her and kept staring at the sun, totally absent-minded.
”You may leave.”
Surprisingly, the cloaked-figure didn't leave but hesitated for a few moments before saying
”Madam, may I be impolite for a second and speak of my opinion?”
Hearing this usually cold and secretive person talk like this, Angelica grew surprised. She nodded her head, indicating that the subordinate can speak her mind.
The cloaked female spent a few seconds to collect her thoughts before speaking:
”I think you should get rid of him.”
Not fully understanding her words, Angelica asked:
”Get rid of him?”
”Yes, he has a mysterious past and a very strange body. Such a person will only bring harm to Miss Jasmine.”
”Strange body? Elaborate.”
”Yes, when Miss Jasmine went to the academy, he accompanied her and showed an unusual reaction to the dense Mana. His body seemed different than normal people, I suspect he purposely approached your family for a reason.”
”Hmmmm”
Angelica pondered for a long time before saying
”It's too early to judge him. Continue your investigation and try to find the relation between him and Dr. Galen. Also, try to acquire his past medical records.”
”Yes, Madam.”
Just like she appeared, the cloaked woman turned into a puff of black smoke, quickly vanishing from sight.

After sleeping for a few hours to relieve her mental and physical fatigue, Ann woke up only to feel a small headache due to overworking last night.
She drank a cup of water then glanced at the still unconscious Bin, who, despite being saved from death's clutch, is still not entirely healed. Since she was so busy last night, she didn't pay much attention to the black spots on his body but now she's going to fully analyze and inspect them.
Last time, when she checked his illness, he didn't remove his clothes so she was unable to see them but it's different now. The first stab hit his lower left part of his abdomen, exactly where his kidney is yet, strangely, not much blood gushed out of that wound.
First, she examined the blood, which was a bit different than normal people.
”It's contaminated… no, it's filled with Mana… is that even possible?”
Mana flows through a person's body but it never merged with blood, each one of them is a separate thing. Seeing this for herself made her not only confused but also shocked.
She stored the blood sample and started inspecting the black spots on his body. Only after several hours did she reach a conclusion, a conclusion that she didn't dare believe.
”The nervous system is dead in those black spots and it seems to be spreading… how can he move his hand if the nervous system doesn't do the work? Is he a zombie or what?”
The more she ran tests on Bin, the more illogical and ludicrous it became. It defied her medical knowledge and showed her things that shouldn't possibly exist.
