Chapter 1436 - 1435: Appetizer
"What? All sixteen of them vomited blood, lost consciousness, and their bodies are rotting?" Upon hearing the report from the servant, even Landyn Torres gasped in shock. These were sixteen newcomers, and even the worst among them had reached the Respect Level. Moreover, all sixteen had been under strict protection, making it nearly impossible for anyone to get close to them.
But even so, all sixteen newcomers still fell victim?
"Let’s go take a look." Landyn Torres’ face turned grim as he strode urgently toward Sunset Tower in the southern part of Sunset Square. The tower, a large inn that served meals and provided lodging, had recently been requisitioned for use. All the newcomers were stationed there on standby.
The discussions across the square grew increasingly loud. Many felt that a significant event was unfolding. Who could have the power to target newcomers like this?
Soon, the Eight Great Clan Leaders, along with Landyn Torres and others, rushed into Sunset Tower. As soon as Landyn stepped inside, his eyelid twitched violently. The stench of decay and overpowering smell of blood filled the entire space. Inside the main hall of the tower, fifteen—not sixteen—people lay side by side. Experts were already diagnosing them, but even the doctors’ foreheads were drenched in sweat. This situation was utterly terrifying.
"Hmm? Why is it fifteen? Who’s missing?" Landyn’s eyebrows shot up when he noticed one person was absent.
"It’s Karson. Earlier, Karson had another episode where she slammed her head into the wall, causing her head to bleed. I pressed her sleep acupoint to calm her down and left her in a guest room under supervision," Jake Schwartz, Karson’s father, spoke up.
"How is she?" Landyn asked curiously.
"I just checked on her. Apart from some skin abrasions on her forehead, she appears unharmed. She hasn’t shown any symptoms similar to theirs."
"Oh?" Landyn narrowed his eyes slightly and then turned to the Eight Great Clan Leaders.
At this moment, the clan leaders stepped forward one by one. They had already been investigating the cause of the affliction inside the tower, and now they had results to share.
