"If Mr. Justin hadn't rescued you back then, you and your mother would've been killed in Solana City a long time ago without anyone realizing.

Your glory days over the past ten-plus years wouldn't have happened.

"Mr. Justin gave you life.

"Once this drug is injected, it will remain in your body for 48 hours.
