Chapter 41: Poison Master Several doctors immediately stepped backward instinctively while the expressions on the older physicians’ faces turned extremely ugly as they saw the herbs because on closer inspection…Those weren’t ordinary medicinal herbs at all.They were poison herbs.Actual poison herbs.The old doctor closest to the table inhaled sharply before hurriedly grabbing one of the black-colored roots carefully between two fingers.“This…” his voice stiffened slightly. “This is Black Venom Root.”Another doctor beside him quickly recognized another herb too.“And this is Red Blood Vine…”The third doctor’s face became pale.“That powder there is Dead Sleep Dust…”The more they identified the herbs, the heavier the atmosphere became because every single herb there was dangerous on its own.Some affected circulation, some targeted nerves, some overheated organs and some could stop breathing entirely if combined improperly.And worst of all a few of them reacted violently when m

Chapter 42: Poison Against PoisonIn truth…None of the four men were actually sick.At least not naturally.The moment Cassian checked their pulses earlier, he already discovered something strange hidden beneath their circulation rhythms. Their internal systems carried traces of forced poison stimulation, almost like someone deliberately introduced toxins into their bodies shortly before arriving here.And the cleverest part was that the poison itself was unstable.Meaning ordinary doctors would mistake the symptoms for actual illnesses.One patient showed signs of severe stomach imbalance, another appeared to have blood circulation problems the third looked like nerve dysfunction and the fourth looked like organ weakness.At first glance, everything seemed unrelated.But after carefully feeling their pulse rhythms, Cassian immediately understood the trick.Jude Gale had poisoned all four men beforehand, the poisen was not heavily enough to kill immediately but enough to trigger symp

Chapter 43: Observe ProperlyThe clinic became extremely quiet as the competition officially began.Almost everyone had gathered around now.There were doctors, patients and nurses.Even people outside the clinic had begun squeezing themselves through the entrance after hearing a medical challenge was happening involving poison medicine.The atmosphere felt tense and heavy.Meanwhile Jude Gale stood proudly near his side of the table looking completely confident. He no longer looked angry like earlier because in his eyes, the situation was already under control.Victory was simply a matter of time now.Without wasting another second, Jude calmly sat before the first patient he selected, the middle-aged man.His fingers pressed against the man’s wrist while his expression slowly became serious and focused. Compared to his earlier arrogance, his current posture actually carried some professionalism and honestly he truly did possess skill.Several older doctors quietly nodded while obser

Chapter 44: Seven Orifices BleedingThe three doctors stood frozen after checking the patients’ pulses again.Their fingers remained pressed against the wrists while their expressions slowly shifted from concentration to disbelief and then finally to pure awe because the poison was completely gone.No, that description wasn’t accurate enough.The poison hadn’t merely been removed from the body, it had been neutralized, broken apart completely and transformed into harmless residue that the body itself would naturally expel over time.The older doctor checked the pulse again carefully, almost doubting his own senses now. But the more he checked, the more shocked he became because the chaotic poison circulation from earlier had completely stabilized.Even the patients’ breathing had become smoother now.The pale-faced younger woman touched her chest in disbelief because the suffocating pressure she felt earlier had almost disappeared entirely.Meanwhile the middle-aged man flexed his fin

Chapter 45: Poison ReversalThe moment the man collapsed onto the floor bleeding from all seven orifices, the entire clinic instantly exploded into panic.Several people screamed on the spot and stumbled backward in fear while chairs overturned loudly across the floor. One of the nurses near the reception desk even covered her mouth in horror and nearly dropped the medical tray she was holding.Because the scene before them looked terrifying.Blood flowed out from the man’s nose, ears, eyes and mouth at the same time while his body twitched violently on the ground like something inside him was tearing itself apart. The blood itself wasn’t even normal bright red anymore.It carried dark black traces within it like rotten poison forcing its way out.The middle-aged man clawed desperately at his throat while coughing violently.“Ack...!”Blood splattered onto the floor again.The elderly woman beside him screamed and hurried away from him in terror while several patients at the back inst

Chapter 46: Pride BrokenJude Gale stood there stiffly while the entire clinic stared at him and his expression looked terrible.No, terrible wasn’t even enough to describe it anymore.The arrogance and confidence he carried when entering the clinic earlier had completely disappeared. Right now, his face looked pale and embarrassed while his eyes occasionally drifted toward the patient he had almost killed.The surrounding crowd also looked at him differently now.Earlier they viewed him as some untouchable poison genius backed by the Warner Family and trained personally under Rowan Crawford but now he looked like a fool whose arrogance nearly turned a competition into murder.Meanwhile Cassian stood nearby calmly drinking tea again like the chaos earlier had absolutely nothing to do with him.That contrast somehow made Jude feel even worse.Because from beginning till now Cassian never once panicked, not once.The more Jude thought about it, the heavier his chest became especially wh

Chapter 47: Call from the office Outside the clinic, Cassian casually look at the phone while walking toward the parking area, at first, he didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he frowned slightly after looking at the unfamiliar number flashing across the screen.He didn’t save it and very few people actually had his number right now, for a brief second, he considered ignoring it completely but eventually, he still answered.“Speak.”His tone remained lazy and calm as usual.Then a hurried female voice immediately came from the other end.“Mr. Cassian?!”Cassian recognized the voice slightly.Zora’s secretary.The woman sounded anxious now.“You need to come quickly!”Cassian’s eyes narrowed faintly.“What happened?”The secretary hurriedly lowered her voice further like she was scared someone nearby would overhear.“It’s Young Master Jackson…”Cassian’s expression immediately became colder by several degrees as the secretary continued quickly,“He came to the office again and has bee

Chapter 48: Borrowed CourageThe office instantly became tense after Cassian spoke and even the secretary outside subconsciously slowed her breathing because honestly the moment Cassian entered, the entire atmosphere changed completely.Meanwhile Jackson Harthwone’s face darkened immediately upon seeing him.Then suddenly, he growled sharply.“You again.”Unlike before though, there wasn’t much fear left in his expression anymore instead, he actually looked strangely confident today and as arrogant as everCassian noticed it immediately.Meanwhile Jackson slowly stood up from the chair while sneering coldly.“You really came running the moment you heard I was here huh?”Cassian calmly walked toward the couch area before sitting down lazily like he owned the office himself.Then he crossed one leg over the other and glanced at Jackson casually.“Wrong.”His tone remained relaxed.“I came because my wife’s secretary sounded stressed because of the situation my wife was in.”Then he look

Chapter 49: Annoying ParasiteZora gave Jackson a tired look before nodding lightly in affirmation with a small smile on her face, honestly, she was mentally exhausted already. She still had no idea how Cassian even found out Jackson was here disturbing her because she definitely hadn’t called him, yet somehow he still appeared exactly when she needed himAnd annoyingly enough, the man was absurdly effective when it came to situations like this because ever since he walked into the office, Jackson had slowly lost control of the conversation completely without even realizing it.Jackson however didn’t seem willing to back down. Instead, he scoffed coldly and straightened his clothes arrogantly before speaking again. “If you were wise, you would divorce this useless man immediately and marry me instead. Do you even understand what it would mean for your family?”He pointed toward the large office windows overlooking the city.“With our families joining together, nobody in this city wo

Chapter 50: SuspicionCassian grinned almost immediately after hearing her question and casually waved it off like he hadn’t just said something strange.“What old man? You’re imagining things.”Zora blinked slowly and stared at him.She knew exactly what she heard.Meanwhile Cassian finally realized he had gotten a little too comfortable just now and inwardly cursed himself. Ever since staying around Zora, he had relaxed more than usual and that slip almost exposed something important.So he immediately tried fixing it.“I didn’t say anything at all,” he said calmly while shaking his head. “You’re hearing ghosts now.”Zora continued staring at him quietly without saying a word.Normally, if someone denied something that confidently, people would begin doubting themselves a little but unfortunately for Cassian Zora knew very well she wasn’t deaf.And more importantly the way he reacted after saying it was suspicious enough already.So instead of arguing with him, she simply sighed, sa
