Funding the serum and the hunger warning

Charles Deaver, a wealthy magnate scarred by a car accident, backs Nathaniel Leech's risky serum project.

Despite the warning, Deaver doubles down on the gamble, hoping the cure will give him an edge to survive and command power.

Hunger takes hold; Leech feeds on animals
