Joaquin's expression darkened significantly as soon as Katherine's words hit. "Isn't this the venom you mentioned today?"

Katherine nodded slightly. "That's right. The man-faced curse causes fatality because of its venomous properties. Initially, as the curse enters one's body, one will not feel anything. That's because the venom of the curse hasn't developed. The effects of the curse will cause one to feel that something is off, but it is not fatal. The whole time, the man-made curse will slowly generate venom. The venom produced will then slowly disperse within the host's body and muscles. It remains well-concealed so most of the time, the venom will not be detected by routine body check-ups."

She frowned and narrowed her eyes. "Previously, I treated some of the senior officials, but I didn't discover the venom in their bodies. Today, when I referred to the secret parchment scroll given by Grandma, I finally figured out that I'd somehow used the right method by accident."

His eyes landed on the long and complicated formula she had written on a piece of paper, and he paused for a moment as he appeared to ponder the situation.

"Have you come up with an antidote that quickly?" His question wasn't intended to sound doubtful. It was more of an exclamation at her impressive capabilities.

Katherine nodded, but she soon shook her head in response. "I've targeted the symptoms of this venom and came up with a formula to an antidote that can relieve those symptoms, but I'm not too sure if it works. Further research is required. I've extracted the venom from the body of the three of them and would need to conduct more research in the laboratory. I will need to run some repeated tests to come up with a unique antidote that is fully effective."

Early morning the following day, she spoke about this matter to Marcus.

Marcus had been curious and keen to learn about it the previous night. After hearing the situation, he instantly said, "I can sort out the laboratory facilities! Lab 7 has the best laboratory facilities in Kyoland. The equipment available and the technologies in Lab 7 are the latest and most comprehensive. You can rest assured, Miss Cornell. Roughly when would you like to…"

Katherine immediately responded, "As soon as possible, please. The clock is ticking. Right now, I'm unclear of the situation, so producing an antidote quickly is the only way to avoid future disasters."
