Drake's fury left everyone around him visibly shaken.

"Carlos, mobilize every resource the Dunn family has and find this person!" he commanded. "I don't care how powerful they are: I'll stop at nothing to take them down-no matter what it takes!" "Wait!" Robin interjected.

"Mr. Dunn, please stay calm. Acting rashly might alert the person controlling the parasite, pushing them to take drastic measures that could endanger Timothy."

Drake took a deep breath, reigning in his anger, and signaled to Andrew to hold off on any investigations or retaliation.

"Mr. Ramsey," Drake said, "what should we do now?"

Robin glanced at the bowl of medicinal soup. "The person who planted this parasite in Timothy is likely someone close to him. Timothy must trust them deeply, or they'd never have gotten close enough to do this."

"This parasite has been dormant in Timothy's body for five years, and it needs regular feeding from an outside source to stay under control. Without it, the parasite would either die on its own or begin wreaking havoc within Timothy's body, which would ultimately kill him." Drake, hearing Robin's explanation, grew livid.

"Mr. Ramsey, are you saying this person didn't intend to kill Timothy outright, but instead to control him?

Robin nodded. That seems to be the case. If they'd wanted him dead, Timothy wouldn't have survived this long

"From what Shirley has shared, Timothy's condition has been deteriorating lately," he continued. "This indicates that whoever is controlling the parasite has started to put their plan into motion, activating the parasite to awaken it fully shortly. Once it matures and reaches a certain number within his body, they'll be able to use the mother parasite to manipulate Timothy's thoughts and will. They could even control whether he lives or dies at any given moment."

Drake was taken aback. "Why would anyone go to such lengths? Do they want to control the Dunn Group by manipulating Timothy?"

Robin shook his head. "That, I can't say for sure. It's possible that a rival hired a sorcerer from the Menoken tribe to do this, to seize control of the Dunn Group."

Drake looked over at the bowl of medicinal soup on the coffee table, then turned his gaze toward Alex.

Alex, visibly tense, stammered, "Mr. Dunn, please don't believe his nonsense! I do not quarrel with Timothy. Why would I ever harm him? Besides, I've never even heard of these parasites! How could I possibly have done something like this?" Ignoring him, Drake motioned to Andrew, who moved to stand behind Alex, prompting beads of cold sweat to form on Alex's forehead.
