Have I heard wrongly?

Don looked at Zeke gratefully.

Instead of punishing him and the villagers, Zeke tried to save their lives.

He never expected Zeke to be so forgiving.

Don was about to thank Zeke when Sole Wolf ordered, “Shut up and drink it quickly!”

Don hurriedly swallowed the antidote.

Zeke and the others fixed their gaze on Don attentively as it was their only way of knowing whether the antidote worked.

After finishing the antidote, Don suddenly clasped his chest and moaned, “Ouch! Ouch...”

Andres heaved a sigh of relief as it was what he was expecting. If Don was in pain, the antidote must be working.

At least they knew that they were in the correct direction although they couldn't prove that the trine worms were killed.

If Don didn't react at all, it meant that the antidote didn't work on the trine worms.


The pain became more excruciating as every second passed.

In the end, Don lost every ounce of strength he had. Crumpling to the ground, he lay convulsing, foaming and wailing. It looked like he might get into shock anytime.

Everyone witnessing Don's reaction to the antidote was nervous.

Will the antidote overpower the trine worms, or will the trine worms win?

Hopefully he can survive.

Seeing that Don was in pain, Zeke used his energy and deployed Ammo Needles to elevate Don's pain.

As time passed, Don's pain subsided. Half an hour later, Don didn't feel pain anymore. Slumping on the ground, he was panting heavily.

His clothes were soaking wet from sweating in pain.

Sole Wolf gave Don a kick. “Are you dead? Get up if you're still alive.”

Despite the agonizing pain, Don heeded Sole Wolf's instructions and stood up. Gasping for breath, he looked at Zeke.

Zeke asked, “How are you feeling now?”

Don responded, “I feel... I feel much better. The suffocating chest tightness that I always have is gone. I can breathe better now.”

Zeke nodded. “Come forward and let me take a look.”

With trembling legs, Don approached Zeke carefully.

Zeke grabbed Don's wrist and took his pulse.

After a moment, a smile formed on Zeke's face. “Not bad. The poison from the trine worms has been removed. The antidote worked.”

Andres and the others were relieved to hear that.

Grateful for Zeke's help, Don knelt before him again.
