Chapter 71

Five minutes later,

Gordon: "Good, good, this combination of punches is hitting the mark. Diana's steps are already wobbly. If this continues, she will definitely win." ——as excited as if he were watching a world kickboxing match.

Cheshire Cat: ".....Definitely win?" ——lacking confidence.

Gordon: "Of course. At this point, I can't possibly be wrong again. If nothing unexpected happens, the match will be decided soon." ——confident.

Cheshire Cat: ".....Yeah, if nothing unexpected happens." ——feeling guilty.

Gordon: "Why are you so lacking in confidence? Diana said just now that her enhancement spell wouldn't wear off for a few days..."

Cheshire Cat: "I'm not worried about the enhancement spell." ——interrupting Gordon.

Gordon: "Then what are you worried about? Speak up quickly."

Cheshire Cat: "Does Diana have immunity to neurotoxins?"

Gordon: "Did you coat the iron nails with poison?"

Cheshire Cat: "Yes, at the time, to interrupt her spell and save your life, I didn't think much about it. Besides, I thought, as a descendant of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, with a divine nature, she wouldn't be killed by snake venom, right?" ——finding an excuse, comforting himself.

Gordon: "I remember that in ancient Greek mythology, many heroes died from snake bites or poison. Some demigods were also killed by poison, the most famous being Heracles (also known as Hercules). So Diana probably isn't immune to neurotoxins. But looking at her lively state now, maybe ordinary snake venom is ineffective. After all, the poison that killed Heracles in Greek mythology was the venom of the Hydra, a huge monster, not ordinary snake venom..."

Cheshire Cat: "But the neurotoxin I coated on the iron nails was first researched by the Hydra, the supernatural research institution of the Eastern European branch."

Gordon: "No way? What a coincidence?" ——a sense of foreboding arose.

As if prearranged, shortly after Gordon's sense of foreboding, Diana began to show symptoms of neurotoxin poisoning. Her previously light and agile steps became heavy and stiff, her muscles trembled, and she had difficulty breathing.

I (narrator): "Old man, your jinxing skills are really strong. You always predict the bad things, and whatever unexpected or unlucky events happen, you always predict them. Are you possessed by a god of misfortune? If you started a Weibo or blog, you'd definitely attract more attention than Ma's."

Diana: "Hmph, I knew you were lying. You said the new version of the enhancement spell would last for ten days or more, but it's no different from before. It's really laughable."

Diana: (checking her body) ".....No, it's not that my enhancement spell has worn off. I'm poisoned? (turning her head) Gordon!!" ——ready to confront him.

Gordon: "Misunderstanding, I didn't plan this on purpose.....Be careful!!" ——shouting.

Diana, taking advantage of Diana's distraction, quickly closed the distance and leaped up, delivering a powerful knee strike to Diana's abdomen. Diana couldn't avoid it and was hit hard, almost vomiting. This wasn't the end; after landing, Diana followed up with a spinning kick, hitting Diana's chest with such force that she was sent flying over ten meters. If Gordon hadn't timely activated a force field to catch Diana and prevent a second impact, she might have lost the ability to continue fighting.

Cheshire Cat: "How about it, can you stand up?" ——quickly administering an antidote.

Diana tried to stand up on her own, but the impact to her chest and abdomen, combined with the effects of the neurotoxin (the antidote hadn't taken effect yet), made it extremely difficult for her to breathe, and she couldn't stand or walk.

Diana: "....." ——clutching Gordon, gritting her teeth, in great pain, unable to speak.

Gordon: (checking her breathing) "No, her spontaneous breathing is almost gone. We need to put her on a ventilator immediately."

Cheshire Cat: "Ventilator? Do you carry one with you?" ——surprised.

Gordon: "If not, I'll simulate one with my abilities. You go and hold her off (Diana), I'll perform first aid."

Cheshire Cat: "Alright." ——engaging Diana in combat.

Gordon: "Princess, I apologize." ——laying Diana down, removing her chest armor, ensuring her airway was clear and unobstructed, then performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation without hesitation.

I (narrator): "What the old man meant by 'simulating a ventilator with existing abilities' was this. I thought he meant using a force field to compress air, but it turns out he was just a human ventilator. If his resuscitation hadn't been so professional and standard, I would have thought he was taking advantage of Diana."

Under Gordon's first aid (the antidote also began to take effect), Diana finally caught her breath, and her spontaneous breathing began to normalize, but her physical strength and pain had not fully recovered.

Diana: "You actually poisoned me?"

Gordon: "Is that the first thing you say after I saved you? I should have let you die instead of giving you CPR." ——dissatisfied.

Diana: "It's all your fault, and you have the nerve to mention it? As for the CPR? You were just taking advantage of me." ——blushing.

Gordon: "What do you mean by taking advantage? When I gave you CPR, I had no evil intentions. I was fully focused on saving you. How can you accuse me of such a thing... (seeing Cheshire Cat being kicked away by Diana) Ah, another one is flying over!" ——quickly activating a force field to catch Cheshire Cat.

Gordon: (while Diana was being held off by the regular army, Gordon quickly checked Cheshire Cat's injuries) "How about it? Are you seriously injured? Do you need a ventilator?" ——removing the cat mask, checking Cheshire Cat's pupils, breathing, and other vital signs.

Cheshire Cat: "Don't take off my cat mask!! I told you before that my appearance must be kept strictly confidential. You have no memory, do you?"

Diana: "He can't wait to give you CPR and take advantage of you, you old pervert."

Cheshire Cat: "Ah?" ——brushing off the dust from her chest and standing up as if nothing had happened.

Gordon: "Don't listen to her, a lesbian who has never seen a man before. Are you really not injured? Don't be stubborn in front of me; you flew higher and farther than she did." ——unbelievable.

Cheshire Cat: "Do I look like I'm being stubborn?" ——looking lively.

Gordon: "Then why is your resistance so strong? Are you wearing a bra made of Nibhurr steel under your clothes?" ——reaching out to verify his theory.

Cheshire Cat: "What are you, an old pervert, doing? I'm not wearing that kind of thing. Take your dirty hands back!" ——slapping away Gordon's hand.

I (narrator): "The old man is doing this on purpose, absolutely on purpose!! He's a complete old pervert! This is his true nature!"
