Chapter 239  The men who had previously doubted Andrew and feared he would not be able to handle Griffin now looked at him with admiration.  One of them said, “As expected of Mr. Lloyd–he’s truly incredible.”  Dylan, feeling energized, gave orders, “Our chance has come. Mr. Lloyd has removed Griffin, the thorn in our side. Pass the word: while East City is in chaos, have all our men move out immediately. We’ll take over the East City turf and not give Northern District any chance!”  “Yes, Mr. Garner!”  A chorus of approval rang out, their spirits soaring.  That night, the underground forces of North and South City clashed in fierce combat. South City launched a major counterattack, and the Northern District was caught off guard, suffering a terrible defeat.  Many people were losing sleep, and the night was full of unrest.  Among those unable to sleep was Kane, the head of the Weller family.  “Dr. Aicker, how is my condition?” Kane asked carefully in his private study.  Kane had urgently summoned Cedric, who was checking his pulse. Earlier that day, Andrew had told Kane that he only had three days left to live.  At first, Kane had dismissed it, but something in his chest had been pounding relentlessly, making him uneasy. Recently, his health had been deteriorating quickly, and he could not longer ignore the signs.  Cedric paused and stated slowly, “Mr. Weller Senior, your condition is severe.”  Kane’s eyelids twitched. He forced himself to stay calm and urged, “Please, speak plainly. I’ve weathered many storms in my life. I’m not easily scared.”  Cedric sighed. “Since you insist on the truth, sure. You probably only have three days left to live.”  Kane felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He stammered in disbelief, “W–What did you say? Three days?”  This was exactly what Andrew had predicted earlier.  Kane’s body went cold with fear.  Cedric continued, “With your martial arts foundation, even if your body had an incurable disease, you should have lived a few more years. But unfortunately, you’ve recently been poisoned with a large amount of deadly toxin. This has worsened things, like adding fuel to  the fire.‘  “I’ve been… poisoned?” Kane felt his head spin. I’ve had people managing my meals and daily needs. How could I have been poisoned?”  He asked, “Also, if I were poisoned, why haven’t felt anything besides growing weaker?”  Cedric explained, “The poison in your body has been accumulating slowly over time, so you didn’t notice it right away. But once it reaches a certain level, it erupts like a volcano, and you’ll die within moments.”  Kane’s face drained of color. He quickly asked, “Dr. Aicker, if this poison is so dangerous, why haven’t you done anything to save me?”  Cedric shook his head, his face filled with regret. “I wish I could help you, but the poison has already spread throughout your organs. It’s too late to reverse it.”  He added, “I can only try to extend your life a little longer. However, there’s no saying how much longer you can live.”  Cedric left behind a vial of life–saving pills, shaking his head as he went.  Kane sat alone in the quiet room, his face ashen. After a long pause, a dark, twisted expression took over his features.  “Harvey, you bastard! And you, Serena, you bitch! Get in here, both of you!”  Kane’s anguished roar echoed through the entire Weller residence in the dead of night.
