Chapter 1519
“Take him down!” Buzz barked.
To everyone’s surprise, Kevin also shouted, “Blood Ghoul! Yes–that’s exactly what it looks like! Quick! Kill him now, before it’s too late!”
Chantelle yelled, horrified, “Mr. Wright, are you insane? He’s one of your own men!”
Kevin roared back, “I couldn’t care less about that now! Even if he is from the Wright family, we can’t take any chances! Kill him now, damn it! Do it!”
Chantelle felt a chill crawl up her spine. She never had any deep ties to the Wright family, but her years under Derek’s guidance in the government had instilled a strict line when it came to taking a human life.
To see Kevin, the head of the Wright family, so quick to sacrifice one of his own, rattled her to the core.
“No… please… don’t kill me…” Tora had dropped to his knees, holding his head, his voice ragged and confused. “I don’t want to die…”
Kevin snarled. “Tora, don’t blame me for this. Blame your bad luck. You know what Blood Ghouls are, and you know how terrifying Blood Ghouls are–we can’t keep you around.”
The Patoajo warriors aimed at Tora’s head, about to shoot.
“Wait!” Andrew’s voice cracked through the air, sharp with frustration.
Buzz’s brow furrowed. “Mr. Lloyd, what is it?”
Andrew stepped forward, standing right in front of Tora without hesitation. “I might still be able to save him.”
Buzz froze, stunned. “Mr. Lloyd, get back! If he turns, he’ll drag you down with him!”
The rest of the group stared in disbelief as Andrew walked up to Tora. Moreover, he actually wanted to heal him.
“Andrew, step away! He’s a Wright family person. If he dies, that’s their problem!”
Magnus snapped, “You’re out of your mind. No one survives necrotic venom–it can only be eliminated by killing. Andrew, you’re courting death–get away while he hasn’t completely turned!”
Ralph scoffed from the back. “Let him–he likes to show off and play hero. Even the Patoajo people can’t do anything, so let’s see what he can do!”
Andrew ignored them, and with two silver needles in his hand, he stabbed them straight into the sides of Tora’s head.
Tora trembled, his face full of pain, grabbing Andrew’s hand. “Mr. Lloyd, please, save my life!”
Andrew looked into his eyes and said, “I’ll do my best, but whether you can survive depends on your willpower and luck.”
Tora was moved to tears. “I know your medical skills are extraordinary, Mr. Lloyd. It’s fine–as long as you try your best, I’ll be eternally grateful!”
Andrew said no more, took out all his silver needles, and inserted them into all the meridians around Tora’s body. Then, using a sharp fingernail like a blade, he slit open Tora’s wrist.
“Necrotic venom attacks through the bloodstream first,” Andrew said as he worked. “Then it moves to the gut, and finally, the brain.”

He slipped a detox pill between Tora’s lips, forcing him to swallow. After that, he had Buzz use hemp rope to tie Torá up and bind him to a large tree.
“Mr. Lloyd, this is really too risky!” Buzz was still worried, his expression very serious.
Andrew said flatly, “I wouldn’t have stepped in if I didn’t have a backup plan.”
“What backup plan?”
Andrew glanced at him. “If he turns and becomes a full Blood Ghoul, I can kill him instantly.”
Buzz fell silent, staring at Andrew with suspicion and uncertainty. He could not help but wonder if Andrew actually had exceptional fighting skills.
“Logan, go get a fire going. Whether it’s wild beasts or Blood Ghouls, they all fear light and heat. Natasha, get out the rations–we’re making camp and having a meal.”
