Chapter 207: Bad News.

Kaito stood back, staring at the man who had just given him the worst news of his life. Angela’s blood could make anyone immortal? The thought alone made his head spin. It sounded insane, yet something inside him told him it wasn’t a lie. Could Mr. Slade really be making this up? No, not now, not in a moment like this. No one in their right mind would lie about something so heavy.

"You must be thinking about what I said," Mr. Slade murmured. "It sounds like a fantasy, but it’s not, Kaito. There is much more you need to know."

"How come I never saw that in the prophecy?" Kaito asked, his brows pressed tight. Every pack was given the scroll, and he had heard it read over and over. Not once did it ever speak of Angela’s blood or her power to make anyone immortal.

"I don’t know," Mr. Slade rasped, his voice trembling. "But you should be worried. Someone tampered with the prophecy. They erased her part." He coughed hard, his face pale, his eyes dimming with every passing second.

Kaito felt a knot form in his chest. He had to help him, but that meant involving Taros. The thought alone made his jaw tighten. Taros would never keep it quiet from Angela if she pressed him, and Renn wasn’t any better. Hiro had too many burdens already. No, this was something he had to do alone.

He found a piece of cloth and tied it around Slade’s bleeding toe to stop the flow. "Don’t think I’m doing this to make you feel better," Kaito muttered once he was done. He turned to the table, filled a cup with water, and brought it back. Slade’s eyes followed it desperately, his throat dry, his lips trembling for even a drop.

"I want you to survive," Kaito said firmly, pushing the cup toward him. "You are the key to helping me find Dr. Dylan."

"What?" Mr. Slade’s voice cracked as fear clouded his eyes. "No. I can’t help with that. He is dangerous, and I want you to stay away from him."

Kaito’s frown deepened. "Do I look scared to you? I want to know who else is working with your brother. And tell me what happened to Evan."

At the mention of the boy, Slade’s eyes flickered upward before sinking back to the floor. His shoulders shook as tears gathered, the weight of guilt breaking through. "I feel so bad for what happened to him," he whispered, his chest heavy with regret.
