Kerry quickly left to complete the task.
What Felicia liked about Kerry was his obedience and efficiency. Despite being young, he was sharp, didn't ask unnecessary questions, and followed orders without hesitation.
Once Kerry brought the items, Felicia dismissed him.
Now, only Felicia and Scarlet were left in the room.
Felicia opened the medical kit, laid out her acupuncture needles, and disinfected the knife. After preparing everything, she rolled up her sleeves and made her first incision.
Blood dripped down.
Scarlet sat on a nearby chair, observing with surprise but refraining from interrupting.
It wasn't until Felicia made three cuts that Scarlet finally asked, "Boss, what exactly are you doing?"
Felicia didn't lift her head. "Looking for a venomous creature."
"Venomous creature?" Scarlet's eyes widened in shock. It was rare to see her startled. "Are you saying that you lost control and attacked me because you were being manipulated by one?"
"Probably. I'm still trying to confirm." Felicia made another cut on her arm, but there was still no sign of anything unusual.
When she had previously extracted the twin venomous creatures from Lewis, the same bloodletting method had forced the creatures to surface. However, there was no reaction even after four cuts.
This left two possibilities. Either there was no venomous creature, or it had been planted in her so long ago that it had become undetectable.
She hoped it wasn't the latter.
If she didn't resolve this soon, she would eventually die.
Felicia's grip tightened around the knife, but her trembling hand failed to hold it steady. Soon, the blade fell to the ground.
