Chapter 1365 Why Can’t We Be Friends?
The poison was called Heart Piercer Poison because it caused piercing pain in the victim's heart.
The man asked bewilderedly, "How did you know?"
He and the other four men had secretly consulted a doctor. The doctor said Heart Piercer Poison was
an unusual poison with no cure. One would have to consume the antidote regularly to remain alive.
Moreover, the ingredients needed to create the antidote were valuable and hard to find.
Thus, the five of them had suffered from this poison for many years.
Elisa smiled upon hearing him and knew she had guessed correctly.
She answered nonchalantly, "I accidentally touched your pulse just now."
"Are you medically trained?" The man was shocked and confused.
Elisa arched her eyebrows slightly and grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the dagger. Then, she
responded calmly, "Yes, not only was I medically trained, I can even cure your poisoning."
The man instantly fell silent.

Meanwhile, the few men subdued were worried that their remaining comrade would fall for Elisa's
words. Thus, one of them yelled, "Terry, don't listen to her nonsense. We have seen the doctor a few
times. He confirmed that the poison could be cured, but the antidote required rare and valuable
ingredients. How can this woman have them?"
Another man reminded, "Have you forgotten how this woman tricked us?"
Terry was stunned briefly and recalled what had happened before.
Elisa and Gareth had tricked them into going to the police station before deceiving them into returning
to the casino.
We can't trust this woman!
Elisa stood beside Terry and said calmly, "We spent ten trillion on Ganoderma Caligo at the auction. Of
course, we can't give it to you. However, your poisoning is only a minor issue to me. What makes you
think I can't cure it?"
Elisa had been researching poison since she started studying medicine.

Therefore, she had come across all kinds of poison.
Moreover, she had found the antidote to Heart Piercer Poison when she was eighteen.
Terry frowned and snorted indifferently, "But you won't be so kind as to help us."
Elisa did not deny his words but smiled. "You're right. We are strangers, so I have no reason to help
you. Unfortunately, I'm now your hostage. I will die if I don't help you."
Seeing the man's growing hesitation, Elisa smiled mysteriously and continued, "Do you wish to remain
under your master's control or let me remove your poison and set you free?"
The five men fell silent, but none of them could deny feeling tempted by Elisa's offer.
The poison had tortured them for three years. How could they not dream about finding the cure one
day and living freely?
"I'll give you three minutes to consider. If I wasn't sincere about this offer, I could have struck you down
in one hit while you hesitated."
Elisa persuaded them and chuckled when she saw their expressions gradually change.

"If you think a little, you will realize you are all doomed. Why not take a chance and comply with us,
giving yourself a chance of survival?"
Thomas looked at Elisa with a conflicted gaze. He could not help but be surprised by Elisa whenever
he looked at her.
Even after knowing her few secret identities, Elisa still surprised him with something he never knew.
Perhaps this is why Gareth…
Thomas instinctively glanced at Gareth with that thought in mind.
Gareth's expression remained cold, but he pursed his lips and watched Elisa quietly, worrying about
her safety.
After a while, Terry still did not respond. Thus, Elisa asked calmly, "Sir, have you decided? I might run
out of patience if you don't decide now."
Panic flickered in Terry's eyes. He looked at his subdued comrades and had a sudden idea. "If… If
you're sincere about your offer, you should let my four friends go."
