Germain said. “This way, Lance is completely off the hook. No matter what happens to the criminal, it’s all under the special commissioner’s call.”

“You know who the special commissioner is? It’s Dudley from the Royal Constabulary. Once he’s done investigating and makes a call, there’s no need to loop the Ministry of Justice back in.”

“Even if it later comes out that she was poisoned, it won’t touch Lance.”

Plus, he didn’t want to tangle with the Herburt family, who had a priestess, Tracy, in the royal court.

Most of the Herburt family had backgrounds in the judicial system. If this case were thoroughly investigated, it could easily trace back to him.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’ve waited years for this and can’t afford to mess up now,” Germain said.

“As long as the parasite cover–up holds, Union County’s administration won’t be implicated,” he added.

He suppressed his frustration and slowly added, “The Union County connection, which I’d cultivated for a long time, couldn’t be destroyed.”

Since Taine had been dining with her family, the parasite must’ve been slipped into her medication.

Dudley immediately collared Dr. Aiken, Taine’s physician.

Without any coercion, Dr. Aiken knelt down in fear and spilled the beans.

He claimed a guy had approached him six months back, offering a stack of cash and some powder to slip into Taine’s medicine. The guy claimed it wasn’t poison and even swallowed some to prove it.

family, couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

Dr. Aiken knew it was a lie, but seeing the person take the medicine unharmed and tempted by the money. he agreed.

To show the parasite’s power, Arnold used a chicken.

After feeding it the parasite and fumigating it, the chicken went nuts, pecking at everything in sight.

Another fumigation session calmed the chicken down, and it vomited out the parasite.

“This parasite, called a Mind Parasite, is controlled by humans. When Taine swallowed it, it was just an
