Lavelle also thought of this, so he panicked on the spot and hurriedly shouted, "Divine Healer Harrison, am I really poisoned? Is it because of that snake?"
Guessed right, it really was the snake!
The crowd immediately turned their heads to look at Fabricio. They saw him smiling ambiguously and saying, "Should I say you're bold or ignorant? Daring to casually eat wild animals? Do you know how many diseases are shared between wild animals and humans? Over 100!"
"Do I need to remind you of the more well-known ones?"
Gazing at Lavelle's face, Fabricio said coldly, "Rabies, tuberculosis, anthrax, plague, hepatitis A, avian flu..."
"And these are just the known ones. What about the unknown?"
"Do you think eating wild animals is a status symbol, has nutrition, and can showcase social status? Little do you know, every bite you take is full of countless viruses and bacteria. You... are seeking death!"
"Nonsense!"
Raiden didn't believe it at all, feeling that it was absurd and ridiculous.
"You haven't even done the most basic examinations, why should I believe my son is poisoned? Do you have any evidence?"
"Want evidence? It's simple."
Pointing to the mobile bed beside him, Fabricio smiled faintly. "Let him lie down, and I'll give him a few injections. You'll see if he's really poisoned!"
"Hmph!" Raiden didn't hesitate at all, and he decisively said, "Go, lie down and let him try. If he can't prove it, I'll deal with him!"
But Lavelle didn't think so much. In his opinion, regardless, having a thorough examination was a good thing. After all, better safe than sorry.
He immediately followed suit and lay down on the mobile bed.
In full view of everyone, Fabricio unbuttoned Lavelle's shirt and took out three silver needles from his pocket. He then pierced Lavelle's lower abdomen with them.
But it didn't end there. He followed up with three more needles, and finally, holding one silver needle, he said, "Watch carefully, don't blink."
As soon as he finished speaking, the last needle was inserted. In the next moment...
"Splash!"
The crowd exploded instantly. Everyone looked at Lavelle's lower abdomen, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"What is that?"
"Why... why is it like a spider web? Are those blood vessels?"
"That black color is too scary, isn't it?"
Indeed, at this moment, Lavelle's entire lower abdomen looked like it was covered with a black spider web, appearing exceptionally eerie and terrifying.
It was clearly blood vessels protruding.
However, as everyone knows, if it's normal blood vessels, even if they bulge out, they should be blue. What's the reason for this black color? Is it because of the blood?
Lavelle's mother was frightened. She hurried forward, grabbed Fabricio's arm, and anxiously asked, "Divine Healer Harrison, what... what is going on? Is my son really poisoned?"
"Do you still need to ask such an obvious question?"
Fabricio said indifferently, "If you still don't believe it, take your son for a blood analysis. Within two to three days, the results will be out."
"Two to three days!?"
Lavelle's mother exclaimed, "Does it take that long?"
A nearby doctor explained, "If it's a routine blood test, the results can come out in a few minutes. However, considering his current symptoms are likely due to poisoning, it requires comprehensive testing and careful investigation. Two to three days... is already considered fast."
This is just the initial screening for testing. If he is truly poisoned, the subsequent steps involve comparing the types of viruses. If it is a known virus, it's manageable. But if it's an unknown virus, especially something like early-stage plague or avian flu, how could a few days be enough?
Lavelle's mother was completely panicked. She looked at Fabricio again, her face full of anxiety, and pleaded, "Divine Healer Harrison, we believe you. Since you can tell that my son is poisoned, you must have a way to save him, right? Please, help us, save my son."
"Sure?" Fabricio said, smiling while collecting the needles. "Make your husband fulfill his promise and eat that table, and I'll save him immediately."
Everyone: ...
Silence.
Due to Fabricio's words, the scene instantly fell into complete silence. Everyone instinctively turned to look at Raiden, only to see his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes almost about to shoot out fire.
Biting his teeth, Raiden said word by word, "Kid, do you know what you're talking about? Are you looking for death!?"
Fabricio's face turned cold, and he confronted him directly, saying, "Second Aunt Harrison, from the sound of your words... are you planning to go back on your word?"
"Haha!" Raiden laughed in anger. "It seems like I've given you face. Kid, daring to talk to your Second Master like this, do you believe I'll throw you out of the window right now?"
Lavelle finally reacted. He turned pale and said, "Enough, Second Uncle, please apologize to Divine Healer Harrison immediately. Now, right away!"
"You... you want me to apologize to him?"
Raiden couldn't believe it. He said with an air of disbelief, "Are you crazy, or am I crazy? Lavelle, you..."
"Second Uncle!" Lavelle gritted his teeth and roared, "My father is lying inside now, and Divine Healer Harrison is likely his only hope. If, because of your relationship, Divine Healer Harrison harbors resentment towards our Harrison family, have you considered the consequences?"
"And Lavelle!"
Pointing not far away, where his cousin looked particularly frightened and on the verge of collapse, Lavelle said word by word, "Just for the sake of your pitiful face, you don't even want Lavelle's life, right!?"
"He dares?" Raiden's eyes glinted with coldness. "Just a doctor. It's his honor to treat illnesses for our Harrison family. If he dares not to obey, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang. Everyone was startled, and they hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound. At a glance, they were almost shocked out of their eyeballs.
Fabricio... actually slapped the stainless steel table next to him so hard that it completely deformed...
Damn!
That's solid stainless steel, specifically used to store various medicines and medical supplies!
Yes, you can say it's not very thick, and it's mostly hollow, but try slapping it yourself?
More importantly, he didn't just leave a palm print. He almost turned that table into a V shape!
Damn, can a person really achieve such a thing by sheer physical strength?
And just as everyone was shocked, Fabricio casually waved his hand and said in a tone that couldn't be plainer, "Sorry, I was a bit impulsive just now. By the way, Mr. Harrison, what were you saying earlier?"
"What would I do if I dared not to obey you?"
Everyone was speechless.
