Esteban Zaragosa grabbed the small vial and watched as the shadows slipped outside, knowing full well that Orlondo Marta had spread a web of heaven and earth waiting for him.
“Is this the antidote or not!”
Orlondo Marta laughed and said, “It’s just a vitamin pill in there, I figured you’d be worried and also disorganized because of that Dulcina Calvo girl, I just didn’t think your defenses would get so bad.”
Esteban Zaragosa gritted his teeth and said angrily, “What on earth have you poisoned Dulcina with! And where is the antidote?”
“I have the antidote, but only one.”
Esteban Zaragosa reached for his pistol and faced Orlondo Marta: “You know I’m not a bad shot.”
Orlondo Marta smiled calmly and lightly, “If you kill me now, not only will you not get the antidote, but you won’t be able to escape either, there are secret guards out there.”
“I could have tied you up and threatened you, or I could have threatened you.”
Orlondo Marta growled contemptuously, “Threats? Esteban, after all these years with me, you still don’t know my temperament. And I don’t let them threaten me either, always, only I threaten people.”
Esteban Zaragosa snapped Orlondo Marta’s neck and put the muzzle of the gun against her temple. “But now I do threaten you, hand me the antidote and I can give you a full body shot!”.
“Esteban, not even your father would dare speak to me like that.”
“My father is my father and I am me! Then why the hell did you kill my father!”
“Just like you, he tried to stop my puppet killer, but no one has been able to stop what I want to do.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes were red with rage as he looked at Orlondo Marta, “You are incorrigible!”.
Esteban Zaragosa was about to press Orlondo Marta to leave the pharmacy when, in the gloom, he caught a glimpse of a distinctive mole behind the right ear of the immobilized Orlondo Marta, and Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes sank.
He spent a lot of time with Orlondo Marta and remembers very well that Orlondo Marta had no mole behind the right ear.
“You’re not Orlondo Marta! Who are you?”
Outside the drug store, a familiar voice suddenly came.
“Esteban, you disappoint me so much that I have been waiting for you to recognize that the person you are holding hostage is not me at all.”
Esteban Zaragosa pushed the fake Orlondo Marta with a clamp and slammed the door of the pharmacy chamber shut.
The medicine store is large and Esteban Zaragosa is hidden behind the deepest medicine cabinet.
Even if those outside fell, it was better to fight them in the light and Esteban Zaragosa in the dark.
Esteban Zaragosa wielded his pistol, examining the movement outside and waiting for an opportunity to move.
Outside Orlondo Marta’s voice rang out, “Esteban, stop struggling and hiding, don’t you want the antidote? Come out and I will give it to you”.
No sooner had Orlondo Marta’s words left his lips than the sound of gunshots suddenly came from outside.
Esteban Zaragosa’s brow furrowed, could it be Claudio Belles and the others who had returned?
Meanwhile, Esteban Zaragosa heard the roar of fighter planes in the sky outside.
Esteban Zaragosa quickly emerged from the medicine warehouse and confronted Claudio Belles and his group from behind.
“What brings you back?”
Claudio Belles was furious and wanted to curse, “Do you think we are going to watch you die, Esteban Zaragosa?”
Esteban Zaragosa said, “Finding the antidote to save Dulcina is up to me, I can’t drag you guys!”.
“All this dragging and not dragging!”
Soon after, Ice Blade and Old K also turned around.
And not only did Ice Blade and Old K turn back, but the rescue of Ice Blade’s dark organization arrived in large numbers, surrounding the dark guards at once.
Esteban Zaragosa caught a glimpse of a retreating Orlondo Marta and rushed to take advantage of the situation.
He must get the antidote from Orlondo Marta! Dulcina can wait no longer!
