Chapter 1504: Chapter 840 Just a Guess

But these were just Baldy’s conjectures; he received no response whatsoever.

He didn’t want to keep silent anymore, thinking it was better to say something here.

It was better to take the initiative to attack; once he did, maybe there would be a chance to find the antidote and not feel so powerless.

So, under the watchful eyes of all, Baldy fixed his gaze on Crescent, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Crescent, I just want to ask you a few questions now. I hope you can answer me truthfully, stop hiding the truth from me."

"What I hate the most is lies, so tell the truth. Was the thing you gave us really the antidote?"

"Could it be that there is no antidote, so you just gave us something random, then lied to us claiming it was the antidote? I really can’t think of any other reason."

Crescent slightly narrowed her eyes but soon regained her composure.

Baldy was unexpectedly smart to figure it out that quickly; indeed, it was the case.

But she couldn’t tell them the truth; the crucial point now was to keep the additional item hidden.

As long as she deceived them, the medicine in their bodies would soon dissipate.

The audience around subtly squinted their eyes, then unconsciously directed their gazes at Crescent.

They all wanted to hear Crescent’s response, but found that she showed no expression at all.

It was as if she hadn’t heard the question, or perhaps she dismissed it like a gust of wind passing by.

At that moment, Baldy did not intend to let it go at that, his eyes becoming somewhat severe.

"After all, when you answered us, you were vague, as if you knew nothing at all. If it was an antidote that you made,"

"you should have let someone try it first, right? Even though you didn’t show any symptoms, shouldn’t you have had someone test the medicine"

"before giving it to others? Aren’t you afraid of causing a fatality? How can you be so sure? So, there are flaws in what you’ve done and said."

Although Ling Yu didn’t speak, he very much agreed with what Baldy said.

After all, Baldy’s words were logical and hard to refute.

Black Bear and Big Mountain exchanged glances, also in agreement with Baldy’s words.

Qin Yuan just slightly narrowed his eyes but didn’t say anything.

His expression became very calm; he felt that the truth would eventually come out.

But he couldn’t intervene, as Crescent was the one who made the antidote.

So, letting Crescent speak now was the most appropriate.

Baldy waited a good while without an answer, but still undeterred, decided to continue with his unfinished words.

"This is why I’m asking you here; don’t feel like I’m targeting you. My symptoms are getting more severe, I can’t stay calm."

"I hope you can understand my feelings too. It’s a normal reaction, and honestly, I’m afraid of being paralyzed here,"

"unable to get up ever again. Can you comprehend my sense of powerlessness? You probably can’t understand because you’ve never experienced it personally."

As he spoke, Baldy’s face still looked very unpleasant, already feeling quite disheartened.

After all, he felt completely drained of strength.

No different from a invalid, how could he not feel disheartened?

But Baldy did not intend to let Crescent off the hook, planning to wait until she responded.

Yet, he didn’t forget to add a few more words.

"If you felt the same as I do, you’d understand everything I’m saying. Now, in front of everyone, clarify things."

"If you clear things up now, the consequences won’t be too severe. But if you can’t make things clear,"

"the situation will only get worse. We were already on good terms and could have gotten along well. But you’ve made it like this."

After speaking, Baldy let out a heavy sigh, looking quite worried and downcast.

But he also observed Crescent’s every move and noticed

that there was no expression on Crescent’s face.

So Baldy added another sentence.

"Isn’t that making it impossible for us to get along well? This is quite unreasonable, don’t you think?"

Right now, Crescent gave no response whatsoever.

Not only Crescent, but no one around spoke a word; silence had spread among them.

But they all were awaiting Crescent’s reply, feeling that Baldy’s words were more convincing.

And made a lot of sense; they were not barbarians.

They would naturally side with the reasonable party. Though they remained silent, their silence was the best answer.

They couldn’t always side with Baldy to confront Crescent, as even uttering a few words would count as a confrontation.

If a group ganged up against one person, Crescent would surely feel isolated.

It might even backfire, so they were being rational and wouldn’t allow such an incident to occur.

Qin Yuan felt that the situation had become very serious, and he slightly narrowed his eyes,

but again, he said nothing, as silence once more spread among them.

He felt there was no need to speak at the moment.

Baldy was originally waiting for a reply, but seeing Crescent just standing there stunned,

with a fleeting look of surprise on her face, he took a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down.
