Chapter 44

"He didn't have any wounds, but his body was so weak. Maybe it was because of the drugs they gave him," I started to explain. "A different and dangerous drug," I added as I clenched my fist while looking directly at Mr. Lim, who was now lying down in bed. He was still struggling to breathe.

"We found out that the Hernandez Organization was conducting human experiments on the innocent people they were kidnapping to test their drug. And that drug was really dangerous, especially when inhaled or injected in high doses," Owen reported. It means, it was really the Hernandez Organization who did this to Mr. Lim.

"They haven't perfect the formula yet, which is why one of the effects is difficulty in breathing," Milo elaborated, his voice filled with worry as he glanced at Mr. Lim's struggling form on the bed.

"Give him an antidote," Hiroki ordered as he entered the room. He went to the lab to test some blood of Mr. Lim.

"Wait, what?" I blocked his path. The antidote was ready to inject to Mr. Lim. "Why sudden? The antidote is also dangerous and has side effects. If it reacts badly with the high dose of drugs in his system and his body can't handle it, he might die."

"The antidote is the only option to save him," Hiroki said firmly and his eyes fixed on Mr. Lim's critical condition. "We have to act quickly before it's too late."

He looked at me, waiting for my decision. I know it was the only option, but the possible side effects were severe. If his body reacted badly to the antidote, it could also lead to his death, especially since we didn't fully know what the drugs were made of. But we don't have time to study the drugs and create a specific antidote for it because Mr. Lim's life is at stake.

"Give him the antidote now," I ordered as my heart heavy with worry. But we can't afford to waste any more time.

I left the room first and left them there, as one of our men reported that we have visitors outside. It was Mr. Islwynn and Mr. Evander. I couldn't believe that those two would come here. What did they still want from us? Or were they here to discuss again the alliance with us?

Those two were already inside and sitting on the couch when I went to see them in the living area. They immediately stood up when they saw me coming. But maybe it's a good timing that they're here because I also have something to ask to them.

"Are you here to talk again about forming an alliance with us?" I asked calmly as I sat in front of them. I even gestured to them to take a seat as well.

"Let's officially form an alliance and take down the Hernandez Organization," Mr. Islwynn stated as he crossed his legs. Hindi na nagpaligoy-ligoy pa. But based on what I know, Familia Fierro, Los Royales, Cassano Organization, and Hernandez Organization had a good relationship before. But what's happens now?

My eyes narrowed as I looked at them firmly, trying to read their minds and determine if they were truly serious about forming an alliance with us, or if the Hernandez Organization just sent them here to spy on us.

"Before we proceed with that, is the son of the leader of the Hernandez Organization still alive?" I asked. I already knew that Don Timothy and his son were not on good terms.

"Are you referring to Theron Hernandez, the right-hand man of Nikolaus Hiero Cassano, the leader of the Cassano Organization?" Mr. Evander clarified.

"Is he still alive?" I asked again. If the right-hand man of the Cassano Organization is still alive, then it means that he has the right to take charge of the organization.

"If he is alive, are you still interested in buying their organizations?" Mr. Islwynn asked straightforwardly.

A smirk formed on my lips, now understanding everything. They had truly hidden them, preparing for a moment like this with a big plan ready to be executed.
