Chapter 60: Chapter 60 – Maria Joins the Crew

"This is the antidote for the poison I gave you earlier. It will be enough for three months before you have to take another pill."

"Does it mean I have to meet you every three months?"

"No, I will give you 2 more pills, so you will have to see me in 9 months. Take the antidote."

Maria looked at it doubtfully but swallowed it anyway. She was already at the mercy of the kid in front of her, so it was pointless to resist. She didn't want to go through that experience of extreme fear again.

"Now what?"

"Go get me something to drink."

"I will make you tea, Young Master."

Maria left and returned shortly later with a cup of tea. She dropped to her knees and served the cup to Ken who was sitting on the ground.

"Did you poison it?"

"Yes, Young Master."

She immediately opened her eyes in horror when she realized what she had just said.

"I mean, yes, Young Master. I poisoned it."
