He knew his expertise in poison was mere child's play in the eyes of his pursuer. Remaining was a certain death sentence. However, what chance did a Battle General of his level have against escaping from Billy's grasp? But before he could cover more than a few paces, three silver needles shot into him from his waist, causing him to collapse instantly, the lower half of his body numb.
