"Stop scratching!"

"Mr. Baker..."

Lance was on the brink of tears; he truly felt like he was losing his mind from the torment.

Just then, the door swung open, and everyone turned to look. When they saw Flora and Connor walk in, they were genuinely relieved enough to cry. "Boss, Ms. Flora, thank goodness you're here!"

Lance had given in and scratched earlier, breaking the skin on his face, making it look pretty bad.

Flora gasped and quickly pulled several bottles of lotion from her bag.

"Rub this on your temples, under your nose, and behind your ears."

Jason and the others quickly did as Flora instructed.

After applying the lotion, the itchiness didn't disappear completely, but it was much more bearable.

Flora's concoction was just a temporary fix to numb their nerves.

In three hours, the excruciating pain would return.

Worried that Crimson and her team might be in the same boat, Flora rushed to replace her, with Connor silently following.

From a distance, they saw a crowd gathered outside the villa.

Crimson leaned against the door, addressing the crowd, "I've told you before, we are working on a solution. Please give us a bit more time."

"Give you time? Who's going to give us time? Look at what's happened to us! This happened on your turf. If it wasn't you, who would believe that?" People from various factions gritted their teeth, their faces menacing, almost wishing they could flay Crimson alive.

You couldn't blame them, really. Waking up in such a state would drive anyone mad.

Flora watched for a moment, then pulled Connor around to the back door.

Crimson was utterly exhausted from dealing with the crowd.

She was both itchy and in pain, barely able to muster any strength, yet she had to handle so many people.

"Vice President."

A staff member approached her, whispering news of Flora's arrival.

Crimson's eyes lit up. Finally, Flora was here!

"Everyone, we are actively seeking a solution and have already found some measures. Please bear with us a little longer; we will soon have an answer for you."

After saying this, Crimson retreated into the villa, leaving the crowd to their own devices.

The tormented people, nearly at their breaking point, saw her ignore them and were furious enough to want to break down the door.

"Let's go replace the medical organization!"

"They can definitely cure us!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and suddenly, it felt like a glimmer of hope!

Yes, they could go to the medical organization!

The medical organization had the world's best doctors; they would surely be able to cure them!

Crimson returned to the villa, saw Flora, and walked over to her, collapsing into her arms.

"Thank goodness you're here."

As long as Flora was around, she feared nothing.

A flicker of pity passed through Flora's eyes, and she quickly took out a bottle of specially formulated perfume, dabbing it on Crimson's temples, under her nose, and behind her ears.

"Rest for now."

Crimson hummed softly in response.

Connor had already distributed the perfume to the others.

Flora's perfume was limited; after giving some to Jason and his group and then to Crimson and the top executives of Cornett High School Club 257, there was none left. Many others were still suffering.

The perfume Flora provided could only temporarily alleviate their pain. To truly cure them, the cause of their condition needed to be found, and an antidote had to be formulated.
