When Charlie saw that Aivan seemed to be on the verge of death, he shook his head helplessly and said, "You were not convinced when I told you that you would encounter a bloody calamity. Now, you've ended up getting into this situation, and you’re still asking me to help you resolve this issue. Don't you feel ashamed at all?”
Aivan was dying, and he pleaded, "Mr.
Wade, I... I know that I'm wrong... I only want to be able to keep my godd*mned life now... so that the Yaleman family will not end here...”
Charlie said lightly, “Don't worry. I will not let you die. Not for now, at least. After all, it’s Uncle Janus's housewarming ceremony today, and it would be too unlucky if you were to die here."
Having said that, Charlie stepped forward, took out the packet of medicinal powder from Aivan's pocket, and asked, "Is this the antidote?"
"Yes..." Aivan nodded repeatedly.
Charlie pinched Aivan's mouth open and poured the whole packet of medicinal powder into Aivan's mouth.
Aivan said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Wade... I will never forget your graciousness..."
Charlie sneered and said, "Don't thank me so soon. These mosquitoes have grown many times in size just now, and the toxins in their bodies must have also increased many times. In my opinion, I don't think your antidote will be enough."
Aivan’s expression was sluggish for a moment. Charlie was indeed right. These twenty or so giant blood mosquitoes just now had been carrying at least ten times the original toxin capacity.
His antidote would really not be enough
The situation was exactly as Charlie had predicted.
There was too much toxin in Aivan’s body, which had long exceeded the limit of the antidote’s capability. So, there were no significant improvements to Aivan’s situation, and a large area of ulceration appeared and festered in the places where the blood mosquitoes had bitten him, almost as if the wound had been rotting for days.
Aivan was extremely frightened, and he cried out, "Mr. Wade, save me... Mr. Wade...'
