"Junior Brother...!"
He called out several times in a row, but his junior brother lay motionless in the center of the hall, not responding with even a single word.
His face was already so pale that it was frightening, but now, filled with rage, the slight hint of color seemed to give an impression of health.
He glared at the girl in front of him and bent down, intending to check his junior brother's breathing.
Halfway through reaching out, his hand trembled and, staring at that poison-green face, he involuntarily retracted his hand.
As a fellow master of poisons, even in his urgency, he was well aware of the precautions of this art.
Knowing full well his junior brother had been struck by a potent poison, how could he touch him with bare hands?
He might not have the skill, but that didn't mean others couldn't.
The group of more than twenty people dressed in straw raincoats parted ways, and a short, lean old man, close to the age of sixty, quickly walked out from the center.
