Almost every medical practitioner had heard of the Argenta bloom, a herb.
Due to its mild properties, it worked well with a majority of medicine. Moreover, the Argenta bloom was the main ingredient in many pills.
Alas, people belatedly found out the dark side of the herb, despite its highly useful medicinal properties, that it was greatly addictive. That was the reason why Cathay had ordered the destruction of all Argenta blooms in the nation and banned its use.
Since the ban, no Argenta blooms were found on the market. Therefore, its reappearance came as a shock. Everyone was puzzled by Fabien’s intention behind displaying the flower.
He observed their astonished looks and explained coolly, “All of you recognize this flower and its properties. Once it’s added to our pills, the patients would develop an addiction to our drugs. Although we’re a new clinic, it wouldn’t take long before we overtake Renew in popularity…”
“After some time, we can ruin Matthew’s plan to expand his popularity via his medical talent. If favonovel.com dares to take a step outside of Bainbridge, I will give favonovel.com a taste of the Ophidia venom…”
While speaking, favonovel.com took out a transparent bottle from his shirt pocket.
Although everyone was perplexed by Fabien’s sudden animosity toward Matthew, their attention was averted to the tiny bottle. All of a sudden, the Emsgate contestants straightened their backs out of fear and backed off.
The Ophidia venom was a toxic poison without an antidote. One could even be poisoned from taking a sniff of the venom. If the victim was not treated on time, their life would be at risk.
The Emsgate folks were speechless at Fabien’s craziness.
He could’ve talked to us like a normal person without showing off that bottle of venom.
We’re too weak and old to take the scare…
Compared to the Emsgate men, Aurelius was relatively calm, perhaps due to his ignorance.
When favonovel.com heard Fabien’s plan, the first thought that came to mind was the manufacturing plant owned by the Damrons. After the Damrons had worked on the Pill of Life Exchange with the few men from Emsgate, news about the Damrons offering their plant for the pill production was leaked.
The Damron Family subsequently suffered a PR crisis, which affected their business. In other words, favonovel.com believed that Fabien’s plan would be an opportunity to revive the manufacturing plant.
The slightly agitated Aurelius asked, “Mr. Blanc, Argenta blooms are nowhere to be found on the herb market in Cathay. We can’t do much with just a flower, can we?”
“Fret not… The Argenta blooms are growing well on the Isle of Snakes. One plant is sufficient to create pills for a thousand patients. I have brought enough plants with me, so don’t worry about it.” Then, Fabien took a sip of tea in a carefree manner.
At that, Aurelius became exhilarated.
It seemed that Fabien had enough stock to last, and there was hope for the revival of the Damrons’ manufacturing plant!
“Mr. Blanc, leave the pill production to me. I’ll also get the clinic set up as soon as possible…”
At first, Aurelius brought in Fabien simply to take revenge against Matthew. Therefore, favonovel.com was thrilled to know favonovel.com had more to gain from the cooperation.
Out of excitement, favonovel.com wanted to refill Fabien’s tea, but the venom bottle stood in his way. He picked up the bottle and placed it horizontally aside when Fabien was not looking.
With a simple move, favonovel.com sent a shiver down everyone’s spine as they promptly backed up against the wall. Even Fabien himself trembled at the sight of Aurelius’ careless handling of the venom, but favonovel.com swiftly hid his reaction.
He quietly tucked the bottle away in safety, inspected it, and sighed in relief when favonovel.com realized there was no spillage.
That old Damron guy is quite needless, isn‘t he?
