As time slowly passed and things showed no progress, Jade couldn't help but grow anxious. He had privately sought out Ed several times, hoping to try other methods.
However, Ed had advised Jade to reduce their interactions and avoid drawing attention to themselves.
During this time, Ed would often leave his room quietly in the middle of the night and head to remote areas within the Moon Eclipse Demon Hunter Association. He was trying to provide Reve with the perfect opportunity to make a move.
Unfortunately, Reve never appeared.
Toronto and Jade, who were aware of the plan, could only sigh in frustration, but Ed seemed completely indifferent. He was waiting.
Meanwhile, Melissa not only prepared the poison Ed needed but also visited his room several times at night, significantly accelerating his progress.
However, Ed noticed that Melissa wasn't looking well. Even during the day, her body would occasionally shiver uncontrollably.
