Chapter 712: "No Cure"
Chapter 712: “No Cure”
This was actually the first time Ainsley saw someone using a dangerous virus as a weapon to destroy other forces.
This kind of trick should have been illegal both in the mafia society and in the country.
Even if the mafia family was generally a bad guy who did tons of illegal things, they also knew that spreading a virus to win a war was something dangerous.
It could kill many innocent people who weren’t involved with the mafia society.
At the same time, since each mafia usually had non-mafia citizens under their leadership, they also didn’t want an epidemic to spread in their territory.
A mafia family in this world was similar to nobles or aristocrats in your usual fantasy-setting world.
Because they took over a territory from the government, they had to govern over that territory, and the one acting as the king would be the mafia council.
The mafia council ensured that if the mafia family took over territory with innocent people living there, they had to ensure their livelihood.
Of course, they could turn a blind eye if the mafia family wanted to use their citizens as free labourers or something, as long as it’s not too overboard.
But something like spreading an epidemic In others’ territories was taboo even among the mafia families.
Thus, Ainsley didn’t understand why Paul was so crazy to do this. If she told the mafia council about the case, the Naran Family would be inflicted too!
Or maybe he thought that when they lost the tournament’s second round, their family was going to decline, so they might as well drag the Sloan Family with them?
Well, Ainsley wasn’t entirely wrong.
Those who participated in the tournament had a do or die mentality because they knew that if they lost, the other mafia families would devour them.
Or maybe other forces outside of the mafia family.
If they passed the second round, they were still counted as a participant…
And the mafia council wouldn’t let other families or forces mess with a participant, even when the participant was temporarily weakened.
Thus, the Naran Family had this do or die mentality, and when Paul knew he couldn’t win, he wanted to drag the Sloan Family with him and his family.
Maybe, his family could survive a bit longer once they took the Sloan Family’s resources and everything– if the Sloan Family fell because of the epidemic.
Anyway, there’s still a chance that the Naran Family could survive without the mafia council’s protection after they lost tons of their military troops.
And even if the mafia council investigated them for the virus case, they could pretend that they were also victims and it was actually other mysterious forces who were the real culprit.
Paul had prepared everything meticulously that he was brave enough to do such a taboo, but Ainsley couldn’t accept it.
How could she watch her family fall from grace just because of an epidemic?!
She stared daggers at Paul and signalled Marietta to convey what she wanted to ask Paul.
Marietta listened to Ainsley’s words through the Airpods,, and since they’re also close, she could hear her clearly.
Once the woman listened to everything, she immediately asked Paul, who was still under her hypnosis.
“Have you spread the virus yet? Who is the carrier? How did you spread the virus?”
Paul faithfully answered everything, and when Ainsley heard that they had just spread the virus ten minutes ago, she felt a tiny bit relieved.
“Find these fifty people in black robes! They carry a syringe with them. Be careful of the syringe!” Ainsley commanded all her people outside of the mansion through the Airpods.
By now, she knew that the Naran Family wouldn’t have tried to push through with their commander detained inside the mansion.
Thus, she could focus on restraining these people.
“Also, gather all the people on our side who have been unconscious since an hour ago. Place them on the separate building D!”
That building was an emergency building used for the medic. The building was small, but it could fit many people. There were also tons of medical equipment, perfect for an unforeseen situation like this one.
Thank God Ainsley transmigrated when her previous world was in the middle of a severe pandemic.
That’s why she was extra cautious about epidemics and pandemics, which led her to prepare a temporary hospital for her family.
“For the forces who will touch or come into contact with the unconscious members, please wear a glove and a mask! Avoid direct contact, blood, or saliva and such.”
Ainsley kept issuing commands to her people and even when her people didn’t understand her command, they faithfully carried out her order.
In the end, Ainsley didn’t know who carried the virus and how many had been infected, but from what she learned through Paul, the first infected people should be the unconscious ones.
“I told the fifty people to find unconscious victims and inject the virus.”
Paul paused when he blurted out the information, but he soon continued.
“We choose unconscious victims so that they won’t know what happens to them and can spread the virus without arousing suspicions.”
That’s what Paul said to Marietta a few minutes ago, and Ainsley made a decision based on his words.
She was really glad that she didn’t kill Paul just yet. If she did, how could she know all this information?
When she realised something had gone wrong, it would be too late already.
While Ainsley’s people were moving to stop the virus from spreading, Ainsley continued to ask Paul about the virus.
Of course, Marietta was the one asking Paul.
“Is there a cure to fight this virus?”
“There isn’t.”
Ainsley and the others felt like fainting.
There’s no cure?!
