When Leonard said that the serum was poison, the people who were enjoying the scent immediately snapped back to their senses.
Since he was working at Myth Group, everyone believed him. "What? This is poison?"
"H-How could it be? This feels weird!"
"My waist isn't hurting anymore, so it can't really be poisonous, right?"
People started doubting him. They thought that the serum was clearly something good.
However, Leonard gritted his teeth and said, "It's clearly poison. I'm not too sure what negative effects it has on our bodies yet, but I'm sure it can cause hallucinations! If you have experienced it earlier, that would be the poison.
"I've heard that some people would use drugs just to make their own Spirit of Life Serum. I can't believe that I would actually see it for myself today. Nolan, how dare you still deny it! You've used drugs and poison to make this!"
Nolan was at a loss for words. He started applauding Leonard as he said with a smile, 'How exciting! I've learned something new about humanity again. People would ignore the obvious truth just to defend themselves, and they would make up lies for that as well. How exciting!
"So, it's poison, huh? Everyone here had already caught a whiff of it, and the changes in their body can't possibly be fake. Is that a hallucination as well? How ridiculous!"
Leonard looked infuriated, and he yelled at Nolan, "Stop lying, Nolan! You never had the real serum. No matter how real it looks, it'll still be a fake at the end of the day.
Kara looked at him in fear. She said through gritted teeth, "Nolan, I know I've treated you a bit harsh, but did you really have to poison me? If Leonard hadn't exposed your evil plans today, wouldn't I have died by your hands? You really are crazy!
"Audrey has been so nice to you, and I've never really done anything to you as well. How could you do this? You're really inhumane!"
Megan chuckled coldly. "He's just a monster who would beat up his own in-laws. So, how could he possibly be a nice person?"
Right after the two women spoke, the people present felt as if they had just escaped death. They started pointing their fingers at Nolan as if he had done something unforgivable."
