BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154: Curing Sasha
[It\'s too dangerous. I suspect the one that created this virus has some countermeasures in place that will alert him the moment we try to dissect it.]
\'Let\'s heal this woman first, then. Contain all the virus, Vesa; we will check on it if we have more time later,\' Alex ordered.
He then produced a vial of glass, putting it toward the wound he made before.
[Sure, King, but I need to confirm it will cost you some amount of life force energy; I don\'t know how much since it depends on how many poisons exist in this woman\'s body. But after we start, I cannot stop the process.]
Alex then checked his status; he needed to make sure he wouldn\'t turn berserk in this place.

Beyond his current life force, Alex also had a few thousand stockpiled at Vesa. He was confident it would be more than enough to heal Sasha.
Green particles started coming out from his finger, condensing into a sphere inside the empty vial.
What Vesa did next was manipulate the wavelength, changing it to a similar pattern to what Sasha had. Since the virus was like a beast locking into her Lifeforce.
As expected, a black liquid came out from the wound, encroaching toward the sphere.
Seeing the black gooey liquid coming from his wife made Blaire smile with excitement. It was a progress.
The green sphere started turning black. When this happened, Vesa moved more Lifeforce toward the sphere. The process continued as more and more black, gooey liquid came out from Sasha.
The vial was starting to get full, but the black goo kept coming out, not showing any sign it would stop anytime soon.
Alex frowned upon seeing this. He flicked his hand, moving some of the vial\'s contents into his storage ring. The process kept going for five minutes before it finally ended. Alex then put the vial away.
In total, he spends 1.157 Lifeforce Energy.
Sasha\'s complexion was still pale; despite having the toxin removed, her body still needed time to recover. But Alex had a solution.
He took out a bottle of potion and gave it to Blaire, "Make her drink this; she will recover sooner then."
Blaire quickly agreed. He didn\'t doubt Alex anymore. He opened the cap and poured the liquid into her throat.
The effects were almost instantaneous. Her pale face started turning back to its healthy color. The sunken cheeks started recovering to their normal state.
Sasha returned to her prime but was still unconscious. Blaire\'s eyes were filled with emotion, something Lily had never seen before, nor had she ever thought it was possible for him to show that kind of face.
"Sir Alex, thank you so much for this. I owe you one," Blaire said while lowering his body in respect.
"You can start by telling me what you know about the current situation," Alex replied as he took a seat.
At the side of the bedroom, there were a few chairs with a wooden table in front of them, along with a few shelves filled with crystal tablets.
William and Lily also followed, taking a seat.
Blaire sighed, "My wife became like this because I tried to reject the king\'s request."
"What is the request?"
Blaire, now sitting on the bed\'s side while holding Sasha\'s hand, said, "He asked me to continue my business. I\'m sure Lily has already briefed you on what I do for a living."
According to Blaire\'s story, after getting married to Sasha, he tried to stop all his criminal activity, but the King quickly disagreed.
Blaire was allowed to operate since he also gave information to the royalty. From the King\'s perspective, the criminal world cannot be completely obliterated, so it\'s better to embrace it.
He helped Blaire become the kingpin of the underworld. Since Blaire also understood his position, he suggested choosing a replacement for him. The King agreed to it at first but gave him one last mission.
This mission would take him a few days to finish, and he needed to go to the outskirts of the kingdom, putting him far away from Sasha.
His place was already like a fortress, but he still felt worried about leaving her alone. So he suggested Sasha ask for help from Lily, but she rejected it.
In her words, "We haven\'t been in contact much after I married you. You know how she is. Lily will just try to convince me again that you are a bad man. I\'m tired of having the same discussion with her."
Blaire sighed. He knew it was hard to change his wife\'s decision, and he also had no time for it. So he left after raising the security a few levels.
But it was all useless; when he returned, he saw his wife already in that condition with a letter from the King.
After this, the King started making his preparations to overthrow the Sentinel. Blaire was ordered to procure many weapons that were not recorded in the official document since this document was checked by the high councilor and the other party.
"What will happen if the high councilor gets this information?"
Blaire\'s face turned serious. "If it was a week ago, then we would have a way to impeach the King. The high councilor also has his own personal army. But now it\'s too late."
"So the high councilor is also under the king\'s thumb?"
"Yes, his family was kidnapped. The same thing also happened with most political leaders. The only entity not under the King\'s control is the Guardian."
