Christopher's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. His entire body seemed ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

"I don't even have much time left... Does the Boss even deny me this final moment?"

"Christopher, you should actually feel grateful." Clarice shook her head. "If the Boss hadn't saved you back then, you and your mother would have long disappeared in Sentania, unnoticed and unremarked. How could you have enjoyed your successes these past few years? The Boss gave you your life. Now that the Boss wants to reclaim it, you shouldn't harbor any complaints. This drug will stay in your system for 48 hours once injected. Think about it.
