Chapter 1224 Trouble Befalls Tricia

• Lance continued, “There's no special connection between the Parasite Emperor and the parasite beasts. They communicate like anyone else—using codes, phone calls, or letters. But you're right about one thing—these parasite beasts can't reproduce. Once they latch onto a human host, the host's reproductive system is destroyed. So, yes, the root of the issue really does lie with the Parasite Emperor.”
• Then Lance went on, “Jonathan, don't get involved with things here for now. Get ready to head back to Eastern River. The parasite beasts still don't know about you, and nothing's been leaked. We've already erased all traces of your involvement. Even Dartley has been taken down by me. Right now, returning to Eastern River is the best way to protect you.”
• Jonathan nodded. “All right, Uncle Lance.”
