Though Pierre remained silent, his wide eyes confirmed Felix's suspicions.

"You're causing harm to others at such a young age instead of doing good deeds. Linda is suffering while you paint comfortably here. Don't you know what you've done?"

At Linda's name, Pierre broke down in tears. "It wasn't intentional! I swear! I... I just wanted to touch the skin of the person I loved. Is that so wrong?"

Then, his voice rose to a shout. "Did I choose what family I was born into? I'd rather be normal than have these disgusting hands!"

Felix helped Pierre's gloves back on and signaled Yasmin to turn around.

She immediately launched into him. "So, you knew what would happen when you touched Linda, yet you did it anyway?"

Pierre wept harder. "No! I didn't know until afterward. I'd never have touched her if I knew. I love Linda enough to die for her. How could I possibly hurt her?"

After checking Pierre's pulse, Felix shook his head. "Early on, one scale would have sufficed. Now we need both hands."

Pierre's eyes widened, not in fear but in excitement. "What? Does that mean you can cure Linda?"

"Yes."

Pierre smiled. "Perfect! Take my hands and my life-whatever it takes to cure her. I've wanted to cut them off myself. I just never had the courage."

Yasmin's anger faded. Pierre truly loved Linda, but their beautiful love story was ruined by his cursed hands.

"I don't know what Fish Men are, but these hands mean more than your heart. Removing them will kill you!"

Instead of fear, Pierre seemed relieved. "That's enough. If you can cure Linda and end my miserable existence, I couldn't ask for more. Please do it."

As Yasmin started to speak, Felix silenced her with a look. "How about this? I can ensure you survive the removal and live as a normal person. But first, tell me about Fish Men. Who's the one in Dragonia who hurt my friend?" Pierre fell silent.

Felix's expression darkened. "Fine. I'll cut off your hands and leave Linda to suffer forever. You know how torturous those changes and itching are for a young woman."

Love's power defied explanation. Pierre immediately begged for mercy. He said, "I'll tell you

everything. Just please cure Linda. My life means nothing."

Finally, Felix learned the truth about Fish Men.

They were a hereditary mutation resulting in scaled hands. The scale color indicated power level. Pierre's silver was the lowest, followed by purple, red, and the terrifying black. Chapter 864
