?Chapter 1116:


    Melinda, amazed, stared at Aelfric.


    “Aelfric, your injuries…”


    Aelfric’s injuries hadpletely healed.


    He didn’t answer Melinda but turned his attention to rissa.


    “This medication is truly extraordinary.”


    rissa let out a softugh.


    “The quality of what I offer is certainly great. How else could I convince you to join us? Now that you’ve felt its effects, do you still have doubts? Our medication can grant you immense power and miraculous healing. It far surpasses anything developed by ck Mallow and Riss. If you ignore my rmendation to join the organization, you’ll be turning down a crucial chance to transform your life.”


    Despite rissa’s persuasive words, Aelfric remainedposed, not excited as she had expected. He scoffed.


    “Do I really have a choice now?”


    He was fully aware that while the medication had cured his wounds and enhanced his strength, it came with a price.


    “Indeed, you have no other options,” rissa said openly.


    “This medication demands continuous doses. Without them, you will endure unbearable pain and, eventually, internal bleeding.”


    Step into fiction with gα?ησν????s???o??


    Aelfric’s eyes narrowed in anger. With this medication, rissa had turned him into her puppet, leaving him with no escape.


    He had no other option but to be her pawn.


    “Fine,” he said evenly.


    “Go back and tell Kim I agree to work for him. But I must get what I desire in return. Otherwise, I’d rather die than be a servant.”


    “You can be assured,” rissa replied with a pleased smile.


    “The organization will treat you well. I’ll report your agreement to Kim now.”


    With those words, rissa left.


    The living room fell into a haunting silence, and Aelfric sat quietly for a long while.


    He thought about his earlier ambitions to be the next leader of Doomsday Base and to control all the influential families in Blebert. Now, he was simply a tool.


    Manipted through medication, his life had slipped beyond his control, and all his hopes and dreams werepletely shattered.


    When he was the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base, he had represented justice. Now, he was an agent of the shady organization, a menace to society.


    Dennis and Melinda, confused and unsure of what to do, looked at Aelfric with nk expressions, afraid to speak a word.


    After a moment of silence, Aelfric was the one to finally speak.
