Chapter 240. Who is the Culprit? (Part 1)
"Wake up, Tyler! Wake up!"
The urgent voices of Hawk and GG pierced through Tyler’s slumber, jarring him awake. His eyes shot open to find the two women standing beside him, their faces pale and filled with panic. Both were still naked, but their disheveled state wasn’t from passion—it was clear something was terribly wrong.
"What’s going on?" Tyler groaned, his voice heavy with sleep as he rubbed his eyes.
Hawk, trembling, pointed toward the bed. Tyler turned, and his heart sank. Serena lay motionless, her usually vibrant skin now pallid, with black, web-like veins snaking across her body. Her breathing was shallow, her chest barely rising and falling.
"She’s poisoned, Tyler!" Hawk cried, her voice breaking as tears rolled down her cheeks.
GG knelt beside Serena, desperately pouring a glowing antidote into her mouth. Her hands trembled as she tried to steady the vial, but it was no use. "It’s not working! The poison isn’t reacting!" GG exclaimed, her voice a mix of fear and frustration.
Tyler snapped fully awake, his exhaustion vanishing in an instant. He leapt from the bed and crouched beside Serena, inspecting the ominous black veins. His expression darkened.
"The fuck happened?" he demanded, his voice sharp as he looked at Hawk and GG.
"We don’t know!" Hawk sobbed, clutching her hands to her chest. "She was like this when we woke up. One moment she was fine, and then... this!"
GG’s green face was ashen. "This isn’t an ordinary poison. It has an Abyss aura..."
Tyler’s eyes narrowed. He quickly grabbed an expensive antidote potion and poured it into Serena’s mouth, but there was no reaction. He took a small injection and injected it. But there is still no reaction. Frustrated, he stood. "We’re taking her to the hospital. Now!"
