Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: The Merchant’s Past_1

“Don’t move!”

Seeing Bamboo Whitaker on the ground with a blackened face, Julius Reed hurried over and gently placed his hand on her pulse.

“Julius, I was just talking to her when this young lady suddenly fainted!”

Quella Radcliffe stood by, helplessly saying, “When I touched her, her body was burning up, scalding hot!”

“Go to my drawer and get the blue bottle. Quick!”

Julius Reed closed his eyes, feeling Bamboo Whitaker’s pulse.

The pulse was fast at times, slow at others, and there were even brief disappearances.

“Got it!”

Quella Radcliffe ran up at top speed, then came down with the small blue medicine bottle.

“Julius, will this work?”

She asked anxiously.

She had tried to take her own life last time by taking an oral solution from Julius Reed.

But…

It turned out to be a sleeping potion.

Now it was a matter of life and death.

There was no room for the slightest negligence!

“Or should we go to the hospital… I’ll call 120 now!”

Quella Radcliffe frantically took out her phone, ready to call the emergency number.

“It’s too late.”

Julius Reed took out two transparent little pills from the blue bottle, stuffed them into Bamboo Whitaker’s mouth, and then poured some water.

“Will this work?”

Quella Radcliffe felt it was unreliable, “I should still call 120…”

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Julius Reed, but it would be such a shame if something were to happen to Bamboo Whitaker at such a young age.

“Cough… cough…”

Just as her phone had already dialed three digits, Bamboo Whitaker coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes.

“If I can’t save her, then no one in the world can,” Julius Reed gently touched Bamboo Whitaker’s forehead, his expression somewhat icy.

He couldn’t believe it.

Someone had actually targeted such a young girl!

A deadly poison, indeed!

“Did I… faint?”

Bamboo Whitaker looked around in a daze, feeling a wave of nausea.

“Whew…”

She took a long breath and felt a little better.

“How many times has it been?”

Julius Reed crouched on the ground, asking her.

“Thirteen times.”

Bamboo Whitaker tried to sit up, but had no strength all over.

“It used to be once a year, then every six months, then every three months.”

As she spoke, Bamboo Whitaker’s brows were tightly knitted together, “Last time… was a week ago…”

“Have two more attacks, and you will die on the spot.”

Julius Reed picked her up and carried her to the bed in the guest room.

Quella Radcliffe hastened to follow behind, asking painfully, “Is there no hope? She’s… just a child!”

“Don’t worry. When your husband makes a move, there’s no one he can’t bring back,”

Seeing Quella Radcliffe’s anxious look, Julius Reed soothed her, “Don’t worry, even though the poison is a bit tricky, it’s not without a solution.”

He paced back and forth in the room, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Husband, really?”

Quella Radcliffe’s eyes flashed with surprise.

If Bamboo Whitaker could really be saved, she wouldn’t have to worry like this.

Quella Radcliffe had been terrified when Bamboo Whitaker fainted earlier.

“The poison inside her won’t act for half a month, but in this half a month…”

Julius Reed sighed deeply, lightly tapping on his forehead, “Once I’ve dealt with all this mess from the Roosevelt family, I’ll make time to help you refine the medicine.”

Although he knew pharmacology, he never refined himself.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been that blunder with Quella Radcliffe last time.

The medicines he refined were basically half-finished.

After all, he was immune to hundreds of diseases and invulnerable to poison.

Why refine medicines?

What’s the point, to kill time?

“Then you need to hurry up!”

Quella Radcliffe said anxiously behind him.

Bamboo Whitaker was a good girl.

Quella Radcliffe, with her overflowing maternal love, liked this young girl from the first glance.

So from the bottom of her heart, she couldn’t bear to see her suffer like this.

She was not even twenty years old!

Quella Radcliffe took out a wet towel with distress and gently wiped the sweat from Bamboo Whitaker’s face.

“The Whitaker Family, once the richest in the Southern-river Province just four years ago, how could they have fallen to such a state?”

Julius Reed turned around and looked at Bamboo Whitaker, who seemed somewhat out of it.

Back when he was the Valley Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, he had inquired about the Whitaker Family’s situation.

How had they fallen to such a state in just a few short years?

And from what Bamboo Whitaker had said, this poison had been lurking for at least three years.

“The Whitaker Family has not fallen,” Bamboo Whitaker said with a bitter smile, “it’s just that it has a new master now.”

Through Bamboo Whitaker’s account, Julius Reed finally understood what had happened in these four years.

Eight years ago, a member of the Whitaker Family, Bamboo’s brother Blaze Whitaker, married a girl from the Cook Family of Morwenna.

Ian Cook.

Who knew that the Cook Family harbored wolfish ambitions, and from the moment Ian Cook entered the family, they had started to make their move!

They plotted to seize the Whitaker Family’s enterprise!

By the time the old man realized it, he was already severely ill.

Fortunately, he had pretended to be sick in advance, giving Bamboo the chance to escape the Whitaker Family with the photo.

By that time, the Cook family had already taken control of all the Whitaker’s assets.

Even the bodyguards in the house were people from Ian Cook’s staff!

And a week after Bamboo escaped the Whitaker Family, the old man suddenly died a violent death!

A month later!

Blaze Whitaker died under mysterious circumstances.

And all of the Whitaker Family died in a short time.

Even doctors could not find any evidence!

All that remained of the entire Whitaker Family was Bamboo Whitaker, carrying a deadly poison, wandering in exile.

Even so, the Cook family did not give up the pursuit to kill Bamboo!

“The Cook Family of Morwenna?”

Julius Reed chuckled lightly, “Such audacity!”

According to what Bamboo had said, the Whitakers must have been afflicted with a unique poison!

And the source of this poison could only be from one place!

Medicine King Valley!

“You rest well for now, I will indeed avenge this for you,” Julius Reed said as he turned to leave the room.

Lucian Whitaker was his friend, one who had lived for countless years, a rare friend in the vast river of time.

But now, the Whitaker Family was persecuted.

He could not just stand by and watch.

“Hello, this is…”

“Karen.”

“Who are you!”

Karen’s voice bristled with irritation over the phone.

“I am… Is it convenient for you to talk?”

Julius Reed asked with a smile.

Karen often stayed with the Leocadia Family, and it was sometimes inconvenient for her.

“I’m outside, there’s no one around me.”

Karen’s voice was exceptionally cold.

“Who are you! Stop playing games!”

Not many people knew her private number.

When she saw the incoming call number, Karen even thought it might be a fraudulent or harassing call.

But unexpectedly, the person on the line could call out her name directly!

“Julius Reed.”

“Holy shit…”

Karen’s hand shook, and the phone nearly fell to the ground.

“My god, how did you get my number!”

The trip to Gonzalez City last time had left a deep shadow on her!

Terry Moore, who considered himself invincible, locked himself in the training gym after returning to the capital and punched sandbags for a whole week!

“You don’t need to know,” Julius Reed spoke coldly, “Have you heard of ‘Three Years, Three Months, Three Days Scatter’?”

“What? Are you poisoned?”

Karen was a bit skeptical, “Why are you asking about this?”

“Answer me.”

Julius Reed’s tone was commanding, with an undercurrent of unspoken authority.

“That drug, as of now, aside from the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, only five people know the formula,” Karen said, still curious, “Why are you asking about this?”

“To save someone.”

Julius Reed replied succinctly before ordering again, “Send me the information of these five people. Otherwise, I will come to the capital to kill you!”
