The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 733

Something let me know we are the first to use his medication. I was too afraid to ask. Afraid to learn that I was a guinea pig used for a drug experiment. Fearful of knowing that the side effects are not fully documented and that anything could happen to us. Afraid to know that we had been reckless. Leo had insinuated it, but I had now confirmed it.

"Well, answer the question already," Vino asked, and his tone indicated he was equally tense and worried. Erik sighed and looked at Vino.

"The drug will affect you like the silver immunity genes affect every Stepanov. The two cannot coexist. The alpha genes would eradicate the silver immune fighting antibodies introduced into your system. That is why the rash is present after a few hours. In your case, your alpha genes would win the battle and regain their full functions, that is why the drug is temporary, but in a Stepanov, it is permanent because as the antibodies form in a fetus, it stops the alpha genes from forming. Leo's case is different because he has mutated Alpha genes, and those alpha genes can coexist with the silver-fighting antibodies. I hope this is clear. It is not permanent, and you have nothing to worry about," Erik told Vino, and Vino tried to relax a little.

"Erik, I want to know the list of weird devices you created that have found their way to Yuri's hands," I told him, and everyone agreed.

"We do not need surprises because clearly, silver isn't the only thing we have to compete against," I said, remembering the feral wolves with collars. Erik nodded, realising the importance of my words.

"You are right, your majesty, but other than the collar, the wolf jamming device that Andrew stole from me, and the poison Ighor used, there is nothing out there," he said. I looked at Andrew, who looked away.

"You stole from your uncle?" I asked him, wondering whose side Andrew was really on.

"I can explain,'" Andrew said. His cheeks were red from embarrassment, and I knew he was guilty.

"He stole it for Clay and me," Alexei said quickly, owning up to the crime, and I raised my eyebrow.

"That was what we used to challenge the alphas and jam their wolves with silver radiation. We did not want to kill anyone; we wanted the defeat to be easy. So we used it to make the work easier," He explained, and Theodore started laughing.

"No wonder Max went crazy about you cheating, Alexei," Theodore said, and we all laughed because it was funny how Max narrated his ordeal. Seeing Leo, I knew he already knew what had happened, and I did not take offence. We did not have to worry about it because Alexei and Clay had the device and were on my side.

"I also gave something like it to Martha Albert. She is a good friend of mine," Erik said quickly, and I nodded. I had heard enough, really.

"Very well, that is good news. So when will you start producing the serum?" I asked, not knowing what to call the AgK32.

I did not want to call it a drug because it would feel like we were doing something illegal. Serum sounded more subtle.

"As soon as this meeting is over, I will check in with Nelson and Claudia to see the progress on my lab. I will also need Leo's sample to make something that would not affect the alpha genes. It is not a promise but an attempt," He said, and I shook my head.

"You have run enough experiments, Erik. We will settle for what you have already. The rash should be bearable," I said, and he shook his head.

"The rash isn't as bearable as it seems. Ask Devin how he felt before we gave him something for the rash. We should also attempt the one that would tolerate alpha genes. Facing three hundred true Stepanovs would be challenging. They are swift and strong. You have seen Alexei, Clay, and Amelia in action. You have also seen me and Andrew. Imagine having to face three hundred of us. You might stand a chance, but there is no way you will be marching to war with four hundred Alphas. You will most likely go there with fifty or fewer alphas; the rest will be betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Kappas.

A Stepanov Delta is equivalent to an Alpha without the command, so the beta, Gamma, and Delta you will be marching with will be outmatched and outclassed. The few alphas with you will need their command to fare well. The current serum impairs that ability. You need something that would make you function almost as well as Leo, hence why I need his blood. I honestly mean well, and I hate seeing any of you die. You may not believe me, but I have become attached. Allow me to help and give my best," He said, and there was sincerity in his eyes that let me know he was serious. It was more of a demand, which was a bid to save our lives. Who was I to say no?
