Meanwhile, Arius had washed up and headed downstairs. He did not call Sophie on his way down, assuming she was still sleeping.

There was also the fact that Tristan was still in her room. If Arius foolishly interrupted their privacy, Tristan would surely have his head.

And so Arius decided it was best to head downstairs alone.

Barney was already up. When he noticed that Arius was alone, he asked anxiously, “Where’s Sophie? Has she flown home?”

It was a valid supposition, given Tristan had the means necessary to fly Sophie home at a whim.

“No, she hasn’t. She’s still sleeping. I’m sure you know we haven’t enjoyed a good night’s sleep in ages!” replied Arius flatly.

Just then, Marcus piped up, “Arius, we’ve captured the men involved. They will apologize for their actions, and we’ll do everything we can to make things up to you.” He was wholly at their mercy and had no choice but to make such a proposal.

Anglandur was in a mess, and eliminating the virus was the best way to defend Marcus’ presidential seat.

Arius was unmoved. He replied, “You know what I’m like, Mr. President. I’m a pretty magnanimous person, but at the end of the day, I’m a citizen of another country, Chanaea, and I will not allow anyone to humiliate my country.”

He was born a Chanaean and would spend the rest of his life protecting his country.

“Of course, I completely understand. Everyone loves their country and wouldn’t stand for anyone to disrespect their beloved country,” said Marcus beseechingly.

After Barney left the International Medical Association, the bunch of loafers left at the organization failed to deal with the virus sweeping through Anglandur. Their incompetence was the reason the Anglandurans president was begging for Arius and Sophie to save his country.

Even Barney added, “Well, Arius, the president has brought the men here. They’re guilty of wrongdoing, but the Anglanduran citizens are innocent.”

Arius remained silent. Sometime later, he said, “I understand that, Dr. Smith. Why don’t we do this? I’ll return with you. As for Sophie, I can’t guarantee she’ll agree. You know her temper as well as I do.”

However, without Sophie around, there was no guarantee they could defeat the virus spreading through Anglandur.

After all, she had figured out how to eliminate the previous virus.
