Chapter 1438 Antidote
Mr. Carrerra had a sharpness about him that Elisa couldn't ignore. She also noticed his agility, as if he
were a skilled fighter.
If she fought Mr. Carrerra, she might not necessarily win.
Elisa realized that engaging in a head-on battle with Mr. Carrerra might not guarantee her victory. With
this understanding, she held back from launching an attack and said, "Gareth won't die, and your
desires won't be fulfilled. If you insist on being our enemy..."
It was a moment of emotional outpouring from Elisa.
With Gareth's life hanging in the balance, she couldn't afford to waste time tangled up with Mr. Carrerra
and engaging in meaningless banter!
However, Mr. Carrerra remained unfazed by her words. He sneered, "The Ganoderma Caligo is

desired by many, not just me. By inciting betrayal among my subordinates, you have already provoked
me and willingly chosen to be my enemy. Isn't that the case?"
Mr. Carrerra was indifferent, unconcerned about whether they were friends or enemies, which caused
Elisa's brows to knit together.
However, before she could speak, Mr. Carrerra cut her off with a smile. He proposed, "Ms. Benett, I'm
well aware of your detoxification abilities, but the poison I unleashed upon Gareth is not something you
can cure in a short time. How about coming on a three-day trip with me in exchange for an antidote for
him?"
Taking a step closer to Elisa, he towered at a height exceeding six feet, his enigmatic eyes holding a
mysterious glint. Elisa could sense intimidation emanating from him.
It was undeniable that Mr. Carrerra had her firmly in his grasp.

While Elisa could detoxify Gareth, they only had one remaining Ganoderma Caligo.
Despite Gareth's stubborn refusal to consume it for himself, the limited time available wouldn't allow
Elisa to concoct another remedy.
Faced with Mr. Carrerra's proposition, she had no choice but to compromise, stating, "Fine, I'll go with
you. Now give me the antidote."
Mr. Carrerra, aware that Elisa would yield to his offer, surrendered the antidote.
He retrieved a dazzling dark blue glass bottle from his pocket.
Elisa took it and warned, "Once I make sure Gareth is fine, I will fulfill my promise."
Mr. Carrerra smirked and quipped, "Look around you. Do you think I'd hand over the antidote if I really
wanted to play tricks? Keeping one's word is important in our circle, you know."
Besides, Elisa was protected by KKCD Casino, which meant they couldn't do or say anything if she
willingly chose to leave with him. With the antidote in her possession, Elisa wasted no time and made
her exit.

As Mr. Carrerra watched her go, a mischievous and amused smile spread across his face. These next
three days needed some excitement and spice!
Soon, Elisa returned to Gareth's private room with the antidote. Following her instructions, Thomas
pricked Gareth's finger to draw blood, which took about half an hour. While Gareth's condition seemed
less severe, he still appeared weak and pale.
Approaching Gareth, Elisa helped him up and carefully administered the antidote. She then checked
his pulse. Initially erratic and weak, Gareth's pulse gradually stabilized and regained a steady rhythm,
showing signs of returning vitality. Apart from traces of previous medication, his system had nothing
else.
It was clear that Mr. Carrerra's antidote had indeed done its job. Elisa reassured them, "We don't need
to attend the KKCD gathering. Thomas, take him back to the country. Once you're settled at Grandma's
place, let me know immediately, and I'll video call you to explain how to prepare the decoction."
