Chapter 386
Only Cece, that fool, would believe such lies…
“Jackson, he’s probably not doing well, right?” Jonas narrowed his eyes, a gleam of cunning in them.
Oneida raised an eyebrow at his words, her expression remaining unchanged. At this moment, she looked unusually calm, neither happy nor sad.
“Not doing well,” she said softly, her eyes sharp as blades. Jonas curved his lips into a smile, but his expression remained stern. “So what? Are you here to beg me?”
Oneida clenched her fingers, cold light flashing in her eyes.
“What did you give Jackson?” she demanded.
“You don’t know?” Jonas retorted.
“Don’t you know the great doctor?” His eyes curved into a smile, his normally sharp features showing an unexpected
softness. “I didn’t think you’d come to me…”
Oneida shot him a glance. Jonas’s current demeanor screamed of a villain triumphant in his moment of glory. So punchable! Let him gloat for a while…
“Even the great doctor is unsure,” Oneida replied, her voice low.
Jonas burst into laughter at her words, his arrogance radiating.
“Stop laughing.” Oneida raised her eyes, her features tight as she glared at him.
Jonas met her gaze with a relaxed and lazy look.
“Oneida, Jackson’s life is in my hands. You better not overestimate yourself.” he suddenly warned, his eyes filled with a dark threat.
However, Oneida showed no fear at all. She tilted her head, her expression equally smug. “Is that so? If Jackson dies, I swear I’ll take you with him!” Her voice was full of a powerful menace.
For a moment, Jonas was genuinely taken aback by Oneida’s aura. He hesitated, “You dare?”
Oneida gave him a meaningful smile, “Dare? If Jackson meets any harm, I won’t care about my life. I’ll make sure I take yours!”
Jonas’s heart finally trembled slightly. He realized Oneida was insane. But her expression was deadly serious like she was telling Jonas she meant every word.
After a moment of silence, Jonas’s lips moved slightly, his expression cold as he said, “I gave Cece a powder. It’s a poison, called Water Death.”
Water Death? Upon hearing this, Oneida’s eyes narrowed sharply. Her expression instantly turned cold, and she fell into a long silence. That stuff?
Water Death was even more dangerous and rarer than Red Death
Even Oneida had never seen Water Death herself.
It was rumored that there was only one batch of Water Death in the world, and it was in the possession of the Paragon Group. So how did Jonas get it?

Oneida narrowed her eyes, her gaze deep as she stared at him, “Where did you get Water Death?
“Took it from the Paragon Group,” Jonas answered truthfully, not bothering to lie.
“Paragon Group?” Oneida asked, her eyes hardening.
But it’s almost impossible. Paragon Group was a colossal entity with tremendous power and strict security. How did Jonas break through and get his hands on the one and only Water Death? Not even the Aphotic Group could do that.
Jonas squinted, but said nothing more, just smiling.
He wouldn’t tell Oneida that time, he had kidnapped her to coerce Jackson into lowering the defenses of his territory, and his men had seized a bottle of Frostbite Potion in the process.
Who would have thought Jackson would ultimately use the Water Death on himself?
What an ironic and laughable twist of fate…
“Anyway, it ended up in my hands, that’s all you need to know,” Jonas said with a shadow over his eyes, staring at her with a not–so–genuine smile.
“Do you know what happens when someone comes into contact with Water Death?” Jonas sneered, then asked again.
Oneida met his gaze but remained silent for a moment.
Water Death? Despite its name, it wasn’t a liquid but a powder. This powder could be mixed into water and ingested, entering the body through the digestive system. It could also be sprinkled directly onto the skin, entering the body through pores. Once inside, it was fatal.
Back then, Cece had hidden the powder under her nails and wrapped her fingers carefully to avoid the same grim fate as Jackson.
When Water Death enters the body, the victim first loses consciousness, becoming an unfeeling, icy statue.
Then, after the unconscious period, the person wakes up, experiencing a brief moment of clarity, appearing no different from a healthy individual.
Finally, they remain fully aware as their body slowly loses all sensation and heat, turning into cold, corpses.
That was the terrifying thing about Water Death. Even worse, it was incurable. Red Death could be countered, but Potion had no remedy.
Oneida clenched her fists, her body stiffening slightly.
“Scared?” Jonas asked, his eyes fixed on her, voice dripping with disdain.
Oneida pressed her lips together and didn’t respond.

Jonas stared hard at Oneida. An inexplicable anger flared within him. “He’s as good as dead, I suggest you stay out of this.” Oneida shot him a cold glance. “I won’t stand by.”
Do you like hint that much?” Jonas’s eyes flashed with a chilling light, his authority palpable.
His sudden anger took even himself by surprise. Seeing Oneida so worried and running around for Jackson’s ‘sake… It made him feel a bit unpleasant.
Oneida lowered her eyes slightly, seemingly unwilling to answer that question.

“Get out.” Jonas then ordered, his tone indifferent, yet carrying a coldness.
Oneida was somewhat surprised. Jonas was letting her go, just like that?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t leave just yet.
“I won’t leave until I achieve my goal.” Oneida’s eyes burned as she stared at him, exuding an aura of determination.
“Water Death is incurable, you know that,” Jonas said, laying out the harsh truth.
“It’s true that no cure.” Oneida murmured, then added, “But I know a way to transfer Water Death’s effects to another person.”
“Who do you plan to transfer it to?”
Jonas had not expected Oneida to know so much. Even such hidden secrets.
Oneida pursed her lips and answered nonchalantly, “I don’t know.”
