Fifteen minutes later, Serena and her group arrived at the location, but when they pushed open the worn-out door, it was empty inside.
Hope was dashed once again. Lucas Laine punched the wall, his face livid with rage.
They had been tricked by Nyx!
Nyx was even more cunning than they had imagined!
Serena’s expression wasn’t any better, her red lips tightly pressed together.
"Nyx is not only highly intelligent, but his manipulation tactics are top-notch; he’s not someone that can be caught easily."
Winston Winslow’s face also looked grim, but he still spoke to comfort them.
"We have to find another way to deal with him."
"I understand, Master..."
Before Serena could finish her sentence, that familiar sense of powerlessness and excruciating pain attacked her again.
Damian Quinn was the first to notice something was wrong with her. Seeing the girl’s suddenly pale face, he supported her with immense concern.
"Serena, what’s wrong?"
Seeing this, Winston Winslow’s expression changed instantly, "Oh no... this is a precursor to the side effects of the X Potion!"
The searing pain that surged throughout her body rendered Serena speechless, her delicate porcelain-white face devoid of blood, full of agony.
The catalyst effect of the drug was terrifying; each occurrence of the X Potion’s side effects was more painful than the last...
The deep-seated pain in Lucas Laine was about to overflow. If only he could get the antidote to the X Potion from Nyx... Then Serena wouldn’t have to suffer this pain anymore!
Seeing her struggling to stand, Lucas immediately reached out, but before he could touch the girl, another pair of hands moved faster, gently embracing Serena.
Feeling his familiar presence, Serena clung tightly to him, the pain in her eyes diminishing slightly, as if she had found salvation...
Seeing Serena rely on Damian Quinn so much, Lucas was deeply pained by this scene. He silently withdrew his hand, a self-deprecating smile tugging at his lips, but his heart was in turmoil.
Now, he didn’t even have the right to stay by her side...
Lucas’s eyes grew darker, and he finally made a decision in his heart.
"Quick... take Serena back immediately!"
Winston’s urgent voice rang out.
Damian Quinn wasted no time, anxiously and worriedly carrying the girl and striding out, thus missing the anomaly with Lucas.
When Serena woke up, the sky outside had completely darkened.
She moved her body uncomfortably, feeling the weakness in her body, and frowned unhappily before getting out of bed.
As Serena reached the door, she heard the conversation outside.
"Nyx’s scheming is deep, especially now; we’re in the open, and he’s in the shadows. Catching him is as difficult as climbing to the sky... and Serena can’t wait..." Winston’s expression was grave, "The catalyst in Serena’s body will make the side effects of the X Potion more intense with each occurrence.

"For ordinary patients, the side effects of the X Potion will lead to organ failure and death within half a year... and Serena has at most three months. If she can’t take the antidote in three months..."
Winston couldn’t bear to continue, but they all understood what kind of outcome it would be.
The man’s mesmerizing eyes turned crimson, filled with malice, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Within three months, I will get the antidote for the X Potion!"
No matter what it takes, no matter the price, he couldn’t let anything happen to the girl...
