It was an antidote. It'd neutralize most toxins once she had ingested it.
Moreover, Bonnie was impervious to any poison. So, it didn't matter what sort of poison or hallucinogenic drugs Billy might put in the food. None of them would work on her.
'I have to be able to identify the kind of drug he might put in my food. Given my extensive medical knowledge, it's child's play for me to identify any drug.
'Aside from that, I have to pretend to be under the effects of the drug at the right time. Otherwise, I might rouse his suspicion.'
At the thought, Bonnie checked everything she was bringing with her again. Once she was sure everything checked out, she extended her and opened the door.
Looking at Francesco, who was waiting outside, she said dryly, "Let's move."
"You got it." He conscientiously walked in front of her and led her down the hallway, introducing the dinner menu.
"Mr. Billy has gone all out for tonight's dinner. You're eating birds and seafood! I've served him for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen him prepare such a grand dinner for someone!
"It's clear that he values you a lot. You have to make sure you don't disappoint him."
Billy had taught Francesco what to say to feel Bonnie out. He monitored her expression as he spoke, eager to discover what she made of his words.
'Will Barrett swear his loyalty to Billy, or will he leave after he's earned his money? I have to feel him out. It's an important step. After all, tonight's dinner isn't just a gathering. Instead, it's a decisive moment of Barrett's fate in our organization. Will he be able to stay here? Or will he have to leave?'
Bonnie turned her head sideways and glanced at Francesco. Her lips curled before she pretended to speak gratefully,
"I'm grateful that Billy gave me his stamp of approval. I wish to stay by Billy's Side and work for him if khave such a chance in the future so I may repay him for his kindness." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"You know how to be grateful. I didn't know that. Mr. Billy will be delighted to hear what you just said." There was a faint, red glow in Francesco's pocket as he spoke.
It was a small listener that Billy asked Francesco to wear when he sent him to feel Bonnie out. That way, he'd be able to hear everything she said.
His chest swelled with joy when he heard that. Then, he laughed heartily in the room. "Hahaha! I knew it.
Barrett is someone worth grooming! iss
It looks like I bet on the right horse! I can count on putting him in an
important position.
"This is great... Nay, fantastic! I'm one step closer to realizing my dream with such a genius by my side. I'm going to rule over the international organizations someday."
Another henchman stood beside him, heard his leader's words, and laughed.
"What a wonderful news, Mr. Billy. With Barrett's help, I think I can just see the moment of your dream coming to fruition."
"Hahaha!" Billy laughed again. "Not bad. Barrett is truly a fine addition to our ranks."
With that, he stood up and walked toward the door.
"I'm guessing he's about to reach the private room. I'm going to wait for him outside. Once he passes my test tonight, I will promote him and put him in an important position!"
'I have every faith in Barrett that he will pass my test! I've even considered utilizing his talents to maximize his value.'
Bonnie wasn't aware of Billy's
thoughts. She followed Francesco and stopped at the door to the private room. She started having bad feelings when she saw the gloves a couple of bodyguards were wearing.
Then, she frowned, looked at Francesco, and asked, "What's the matter? I'm just here for the dinner. Is it necessary to frisk me?"
