Doctor Montambanco was a respected expert in his field. On the Southern Islands, the rich and powerful would compete with each other, only to invite him for a regular check-up. He enjoyed a good reputation, as there was no rival for him. He was the best, and he exploited his standing, asking for enormous sums, and even more benefits, such as treasure or women.
But now, he was feeling like a mouse in front of a predator.
Years ago, he was called into Samars' mansion with countless other healers. They were to check on the madam of the family, who fell into a coma suddenly. Her diagnosis was simple, she was poisoned by the demon's blood and contracted the so-called 'black death' disease. The thing was, there was only one effective cure – the legendary Tear of Noir.
