Chapter 1444: What’s the worst that could happen?
Atlas stared at the three, his gaze cold and indifferent—almost as if he were looking at mere slabs of meat ready for butchering. If not for the mental name tags he had assigned them, he might have mistaken them for just that... flesh.
"However, it is, indeed, concerning," Atlas finally broke the momentary silence. "What should we do? I don’t think we’ll be able to sleep with such discomfort."
His brow arched as his gaze landed on the blanket-wrapped figure of Slater. "Aren’t you hot?"
"He’s hiding something he doesn’t want anyone to see," Penny waved dismissively before continuing, "First Brother, you should try an ice bath to cool down your body. Since you don’t feel anything except your usual urge for mass destruction, I think that should be enough."
"I prefer hot showers," Atlas replied flatly. "Don’t you have an antidote?"
Penny deadpanned. "Is an elephant heavy? First Brother, I’m more surprised that you think I carry sedatives around like breath mints. I’m not Second Brother."
Atlas frowned, while Penny clicked her tongue.
"It’s either a cold bath or... sex," she stated bluntly. "And since the latter is impossible right now, you don’t really have a choice."
Turning to Slater, Penny continued, "As for you, I’ll take you to the hospital."
"No way!" Slater immediately scurried backward, wrapping himself tighter in the blanket. "Penny, do you even know who I am?"
"Uh..." Penny blinked. "You’re my brother?"
"I’m Slater Bennet!" he shrieked. "If I go to the hospital for something like this, my name will be on every tabloid! I’d rather die than have people talking about... this!"
