Chapter 1172 - 1172

Hearing this request.

Noelle Meyer's face turned bright red.

She asked quietly, "Do... do I have to take it all off?"

Dirk Carter said, "The first part of the treatment is fine, but for the second part, you have to take it all off."

Noelle Meyer hesitated for a long time.

She glanced at Faye Ullman lying over there.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Okay, as long as it can cure me, it's not only about taking off clothes. Whatever you ask, I'll do it."

Since she had already agreed.

Dirk Carter didn't hesitate either.

Before starting, he still had some preparations to do.

Which was to sterilize his portable needle kit...

At the same time.

Elbert Rivers had already arrived at Mountridge County Bus Terminal.

He planned to buy a city-bound ticket here, to avoid the inspections.

But just as he reached the terminal entrance.

He saw four or five policemen were already guarding the entrance, checking IDs for each person entering, and matching each face to a photo.

Just as Dirk Carter said.

The entire Mountridge County was already under control.

Out of options, Elbert Rivers had to find another way, with only twelve hours remaining, he couldn't afford to waste a single minute...

Meanwhile.

At the estate at the foot of Five Peaks Mountain.

Still in the lake-centered villa.

Adonis Forrest was calmly fishing, while Colter Hall seemed possessed, pacing with his hands behind his back.

"Mayor Hall, can't you sit down and rest for a while? You're scaring away my fish,"

Adonis Forrest said discontentedly.

Colter Hall, upon hearing this, came up next to Adonis Forrest, complaining, "My dear Mr. Forrest, are you not worried at all? Dirk Carter is with Noelle Meyer. How can you act so carelessly? I've seen his tactics, they're deadly. Aren't you digging your own grave?"

"Hahaha, Mayor Hall, it seems Dirk Carter has truly frightened you. A dignified mayor fearing a discipline inspector—it'd be a laughingstock if word got out."

Adonis Forrest mocked.

Colter Hall quickly said, "I'm not afraid of him, but his methods are indeed unusual. Even if you want to get rid of Noelle Meyer, choose the right time and place, I truly admire you."

"Relax, Mayor Hall, the entire Mountridge County is in our control. Dirk Carter can't escape, and both Noelle Meyer and her female bodyguard have been poisoned. They surely can't survive."

"You're that confident?"

Colter Hall asked, somewhat distrustful.

In contrast, Adonis Forrest remained calm, tapping his head, "I swear on my life, even if a deity descends, those two can't be saved. My poison was obtained with great effort from a renowned physician. Aside from him, no one can counteract it."

These words.

Finally let Colter Hall breathe a sigh of relief.

He said, "Even if this succeeds, there will still be many troubles ahead. After all, Dirk Carter saw everything firsthand. If he finds out you're the mastermind, he won't let you get away, just don't implicate me then."

Adonis Forrest tossed aside his fishing rod.

Turned to look at Colter Hall.

And sneered, "You fear him, I do not. Once I get past this, even ten Dirk Carters won't make a difference. The connections I've greased over these years, each could drown him with a single spit..."

Shifting focus back to Dirk Carter.

He had finished his preparations.

Apart from the acupuncture needles, he had gathered a multitude of towels and bath towels, laying them flat on the bed before placing Faye Ullman on top.

First, he undid the buttons on Faye Ullman's shirt.

Then loosened her belt.

Exposing her abdominal area.

Due to prolonged poisoning, Faye Ullman's abdomen had turned a dark purplish color.

Dirk Carter extracted an acupuncture needle.

And began probing her abdomen with his fingers.

This process was extremely critical. If he pierced the wrong spot, Faye Ullman might never wake up again.

After approximately a few minutes.

Dirk Carter confirmed the location.

Aimed for the acupuncture point and inserted the needle.

After removing the needle.

Streams of dark purplish blood oozed from the needle hole, trickling down to the bath towel below.

This process.

Lasted for a full ten minutes or so.

As streams of dark blood were expelled, the abdomen gradually restored its flesh-like color from the previous dark purple.

Having dealt with the abdominal issue.

Dirk Carter then pried Faye Ullman's mouth open.

After all, the person was unconscious.

The tongue could not stick out.

Under the lamp's glare, Dirk Carter spent over ten minutes finding the crucial spot, inserting the acupuncture needle, and inducing the flow of dark blood.

But still unconscious.

The expelled blood couldn't be spat out, posing a risk of blocking the airway.

Without any equipment.

The only means was mouth-to-mouth, to suck out the poisoned blood and spit it out.

This process took around half an hour.

Seeing the tongue begin to regain its normal color, Dirk Carter felt slightly relieved.

"Your turn now."

He turned back.

Only to find Noelle Meyer already on the verge of slipping into unconsciousness.

Her eyelids drooped.

Her mouth moved but could no longer form words.

Dirk Carter had no time to hesitate.

First, he expelled the toxic blood from her abdomen.

"Can you stick your tongue out?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Noelle Meyer tried a few times with difficulty, clearly, she had no strength left.

Dirk Carter let out a long sigh.

He pried her mouth open a bit, used the same method to pierce her tongue, and saw the dark blood seeping out.

He said, "Ms. Meyer, it's not that I'm taking advantage, but there's no other option, I can only use this method now."

Finishing his words.

His lips pressed against Noelle Meyer's.

At the moment their lips touched.

Noelle Meyer's eyes suddenly widened.

Her whole body shivered as if electrocuted.

Of course, she knew Dirk Carter was saving her.

But after all, this was her first kiss.

Again and again, their lips met countless times.

The toxic blood on the tongue was finally completely expelled.

The poison in Noelle Meyer's body wasn't as severe, and as most of the toxic blood left her body, she felt much relieved, regaining her spirits.

With Dirk Carter's help.

She struggled to sit up.

She asked, "Is it all done?"

Dirk Carter shook his head.

He said, "Expelling toxic blood is temporary relief. The crucial issue is addressing the root, this is cold poison, so the toxins must be completely expelled to succeed. The real work starts now."

After saying this.

Dirk Carter glanced at Faye Ullman.

He said, "She should take a while to wake up, you first."

After that, he walked into the bathroom.

Soon after.

The sound of water filling the bathtub came from the bathroom.

"What should we do next?"

Noelle Meyer asked.

Dirk Carter motioned with his hand towards the bathroom.

He said, "Take a bath..."
