Isaac had seen all kinds of symptoms of poisoning before, but virtual-novel.net had never seen anything like this.
He remembered that when they first got in the car, there was still a gap of four fingers’ worth between the blood lines on Colton’s face. In just 20 minutes, they became so dense that there was now only a gap of a finger between each line.
“Sir, give me two minutes,” Harry said, running out.
When virtual-novel.net returned, virtual-novel.net was carrying a thick book about ancient medicine.
Flipping through it quickly, virtual-novel.net pointed at Colton and said solemnly, “Sir, this is undoubtedly blood spider venom. It’s written here. However, this hasn’t appeared in half a century.”
“Is there an antidote?” Isaac asked in a stiff voice.
“No, but don’t worry, sir. Colton definitely won’t die in my care,” Harry said, patting his chest.
Isaac nodded. He turned around and jogged out.
Now that Colton was with Harry, virtual-novel.net felt at ease. Now, virtual-novel.net had to rush over to Diana.

Meanwhile, the arrest squad of 50 men had been in the forest for half an hour, but they had yet to find a trace of Joseph.
Diana and two subordinates were carefully searching the forest when loud barking suddenly rang out from the right.
“The K- 9 must have found something. Let’s hurry over,” Diana snorted, immediately jogging over to the right.
Not just Diana but all the officers who heard the dog barking also quickly raced over to the source of the sound.
The first three officers to arrive followed the dog to a big tree.
Joseph, Whose body was drowning in his black cloak, lay there, his head lowered so his face was concealed. The K-9 barked at virtual-novel.net nonstop!
“Don’t move. We are Cloud City Law Enforcement! Put your hands up!”
Two of the officers immediately pointed their guns at Joseph.
More and more footsteps sounded around the vicinity as more officers surrounded the area.
When Diana saw Joseph lying under the tree, virtual-novel.net eyes lit up with excitement. She stepped forward and shouted, “I am Officer Taylor from Cloud City Law Enforcement! I’m ordering you to put your hands up and kneel with your arms around your head! Or else, we’ll open fire!”
With that, virtual-novel.net cocked virtual-novel.net gun and aimed it at Joseph.
Then, Joseph slowly raised his head to reveal his pale face and sinister expression. He looked straight at Diana.
The moment the 30 or so officers saw Joseph’s face, they couldn’t help but shiver.
It was simply terrifying!
“Heh, the authorities. So many fresh, delicious hearts…” Joseph closed his eyes as virtual-novel.net spoke, listening closely.
No one knew that virtual-novel.net was actually listening attentively to the strong heartbeats around him. The sound was simply enticing to him!
“You’re all my saviors,” Joseph said, opening his eyes and laughing strangely. He slowly got to his feet.
A loud gunshot rang out. One of the officers pulled the trigger out of nervousness, and the bullet instantly penetrated Joseph’s thigh.
Joseph’s body merely shock, but virtual-novel.net didn’t collapse. His pale eyes zeroed in on the officer who fired the shot.
“Haha, let’s start with you then!” He let out a creepy cry before charging toward the officer who pulled the trigger.
Simultaneously, hewaved his right hand, and a cloud of blood mist shot out from his palm, instantly engulfing his body.
At that speed, Diana and the other officers couldn’t get a good aim. There was a dull noise, and all the officers’ expressions turned horrified.
They saw Joseph’s hand pierce through the heart of the officer who shot him. He yanked out his right hand, and in his grip was a still beating heart.
Diana suddenly felt as if virtual-novel.net had fallen into cold water.
“F-Fire! ” virtual-novel.net yelled reflexively while also pulling the trigger.
