    Chapter 864


    "rk, I beg you, pretending you didn''t hear anything!” Jack pleaded, his hands sped together in


    prayer, "Whatever you want to know, ask our bosster when the time is right. Just don''t say it came


    from me now! Or I''m done for!"


    rk didn''t want to put him in a tough spot, so he simply said, "Whatever you tell me, I swear it stays


    with me. I won''t breathe a word to Be."


    “rk, some things even Romeo doesnt know. Spare me, y dumb, I beg you!"


    If the boss found out he bbed again, he''d surely be transferred to the triangr zone, and then he


    wouldn''t be able to protect the boss all the time!


    With all these weaklings around, he had to be the one to protect the boss personally at critical times.


    Just then, Arabe appeared, "What are you guys talking about?"


    Seeing Jack sping his hands and begging for something, Arabe was puzzled, "What are you


    begging rk for?"


    "The boss is here.” Jack felt doomed and quickly made up an excuse, "Well, rk wanted to set me up


    with someone, this beautifuldy."


    He shed a picture he had taken earlier, "I was just begging rk for her contact info."


    Arabe was a bit speechless. In a time like this, he was still thinking about such things. She coldly


    said, "Get lost."


    "Yes, yes." Jack breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the boss didn''t suspect anything.


    "Theparison results are in. The blood traces in the living room, and the yard match that of Mr. and


    Mrs. Earwood."


    The moment Arabe stopped talking, rk''s attention shifted, "You mean Carol''s parents got hurt?"


    "Yes." Arabe exined, "A viger mentioned that a few months ago, around two or three in the


    morning, a group of people went to Carol''s house. Despite the rain, they were walking around in the


    yard. They were probably looking for Carol, identally startled her parents, and they got injured in the


    ensuing argument."


    Arabe paused, then continued her analysis, "The viger said that for four or five days after the


    group appeared, the Earwoods'' door never opened. Judging by the blood traces, the incident


    happened in the living room and then moved to the yard. So, I guess, during those days, the injured Mr.


    and Mrs. Earwood might have been taken away by that group. We don''t know where they went and


    what they did"


    Based on the viger''s statement, Mr. and Mrs. Earwood returned only after four or five days, and soon


    after, they went out to look for Carol.


    So, their disappearance that night is the key to solving this mystery.


    "Did the powder get tested?” rk asked, his mood heavy.


    Arabe just mentioned that one of the ingredients in the powder was Aetherbloom, which was


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    extremely toxic.


    "Besides Aetherbloom, there are 16 other herbs. Each one is toxic."


    "What about when they''rebined?"


    "The toxicity increases.” Arabe said casually, "One of theb rats just died. It took the poison and


    died instantly."


    There wasn''t even time to save it.


    rk''s heart clenched, "You''re saying Carol might have taken this poison.


    She''s been missing for a year. Was she forced to take this lethal poison and then dumped?


    So, all these powers couldn''t find her.


    Because she''s no longer in this world.


    Thinking about this, rk felt a pain in his chest that nearly suffocated him.


    "Not necessarily.” Arabe analyzed, "What if she used this poison on someone else?"


    "What do you mean?" rk didn''t understand.


    "Considering how many people are looking for her, this poison might be her self-defense mechanism.


    To keep it hidden, she put it in a vitamin C bottle. That bottle looks old, and she must have used it for a


    long time."


    "Boss, ording to your theory, Mrs. rk would have to poison a ton of people with this."


    Arabe gave him a look, and Jack immediately shut up.


    "Carol is physically weak, it''s possible that this poison might really be for her self-defense.’
