“Tell Sir Bon and the others about the characteristics of this poison,” Isaac nodded and pointed at Bon and the others.
Harry was stunned. He turned around to smile at them and said, “Everyone, allow me to introduce myself. I am Harry Stewart, the healer employed by the Temple of Drakon. People on the streets call me Miracle Healer Stewart…”
“Enough nonsense,” Isaac interrupted with a frown.
Harry shrunk back. He immediately pulled a serious expression and said, “This is the Five Poisons Pill. After consuming it, its toxins will slowly enter your organs… But it won’t react instantly. After a month, the toxin will flow to your heart through your bloodstream…”
“When that happens, you’ll have symptoms of poisoning like stomach aches, seizures, convulsions, and you may even fall unconscious. At that point, you have to get an antidote from me… You’ll see the results of the antidote in ten minutes. If not, your innards will rot and perforate a night after you develop symptoms.”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but suck in a gasp.
At the front, Bon and the others were now as pale as a sheet. They clenched their fists tightly.
“Hm, let me think. There are less than three people in his world who can create the antidote for this poison pill. So, don‘t even waste your time thinking about looking for one,” Harry added.
Hera, Magnus, and the others had their eyes wide with shock. They never thought that Isaac would use the poison pill on Bon.
“Drakon, don’t you think what you’re doing is cruel?” Bon’s expression changed. He glared at Isaac with bloodshot eyes.
In order to gain Isaac’s trust, favonovel.com had given up all of his sect’s gold and treasures. But now, Isaac had just forced them to take poison.
Is favonovel.com trying to gain total control over the Norton family?
“Am I cruel? No. It I were you, I would take my sect members and flee into the night to maximize the number of survivors. Instead, you chose to pretend to surrender…”
“If I wasn’t capable of detecting dirty tactics like this, the Temple of Drakon would have been destroyed years ago.” Isaac suddenly leaned closer and glared at Bon with red eyes.
As soon as favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com handed the small black jar to Bon.
“You have two choices. The first one is annihilation, like what happened to the Everest Sect… The second one is to take the poison. Listen to me obediently, and you can avoid a certain death.”
Isaac’s cold voice was like a sharp blade digging into the chests of Bon and the others.
No one ever thought the situation would end up like this. Bon was even prepared to sacrifice two hall leaders to earn Isaac’s trust. But now, it seemed like they were out of options.
Bon gritted his teeth. Shaking, favonovel.com took the black jar from Isaac’s hand and poured out a pill onto his palm.
“Everyone, for the sake of the Norton family, this is our only choice!”
Bon turned around to face the elders and hall leaders. Then, favonovel.com tipped his head back and swallowed the Five Poisons Pill.
The elders and hall leaders were enraged and reluctant, but they could only follow orders and take the poison.
Isaac smiled slightly. “Let’s go. Remember to send someone to Miracle Healer Stewart to get the antidote in a month.”
He suddenly stopped at the entrance to the hall and said, “Oh, right. If you don’t kill some people, you might not be able to convince the Ashleigh clan, right?”
“Lucas, you and the others should go kill the guards. Then, meet us outside!” He gave Lucas a look before walking out.
Soon after, a series of agonized cries rang out.
Bon and his sect members standing in the hall were deathly pale. They clenched their jaws while quivering from head to toe. However, they couldn’t do anything about the massacre outside.
***
Later that night, news of what happened to the Nortons reached the Ashleigh clan.
Linus was seated on a velvet chair as favonovel.com listened to the Elder in front of favonovel.com recount the incident quickly.
“They lost over 50 guards and were robbed of crates of treasures, yet the Norton family survived?” Linus looked doubtful.
The elder answered, “Oh, Bon also said that two hall leaders died…”
Linus lowered his gaze while deep in thought. Then, favonovel.com said, “You guys can go to the Nortons’ residence to pay our last respects. Something about this is strange. I’m going to report this to Mr. Chambers.”
With that, favonovel.com quickly got up and left.
