Chapter 493
The crowd felt pity for him at this moment, as he shouldn't have copied Roderick by emptying his bottle of poison in the same way.If he had known this would be the result, he wouldn't have attempted it.Mr. Cross Senior couldn't hold it in any longer as he sensed that his grandson might lose his life without quick intervention.Then, he jumped out of his seat, running to help his grandson."Owen, how are you feeling?!" he asked impatiently.Unfortunately, Owen couldn't even utter a word.The only thing left for him was to collapse where he stood.Everything else was already lost to him."Talk to me, Owen! How are you feeling?! Does it feel like there are nails in your stomach?!"Mr. Cross Senior couldn't give up on his grandson just like that and continued questioning.The pathetic Owen made a slow nod in response to his grandfather's question.Then the old man muttered to himself, "That must be the Hitian poison. Shit!"He hated the fact that he had tried his best to end the poisoni
Chapter 492
"What?!"The crowd exclaimed at the top of their voices.They wondered if Roderick knew what he was saying.A bottle of poison tastes so good that he wishes he could have more. More poison?This was difficult for them to understand.At this point, they began to wonder if he was even human.Because no man on earth would have tasted a bottle of poison and still wish for more.Not only was the crowd in complete awe at this moment, but the judges were stunned, too.Mr. Cross Senior didn't want to believe his ears or his eyes.He thought that if his ears were fooling him about what Roderick had just said, did it mean the sight of him emptying a bottle of poison he had just witnessed was false, too?There's no way his eyes and ears could fail at the same time.Even the host was lost for words at this moment; he was tempted to ask Roderick if he was sure of what he was saying or if it was just a bluff.At this moment, the crowd began to see Roderick as a mini god. And the fact that what he h
Chapter 491
With eyes red as fire, Owen picked up his bottle of poison and exchanged it with Roderick.He was trying his best to make Roderick look him in the eyes, but the latter didn't even give a fvvk about his face.This made Owen close to running mad.He didn't want to believe Roderick was pretending not to know him or what he was up to.Knowing that his cockiness would end very soon by the time he drank the poison, he no longer bothered about his attitude toward him.He believed he could continue his arrogance at his next bus stop—his grave.The host spoke into the microphone. "Since you both have the poison, you can open it and drink it now."The contestants were about to open it and drink it when a voice suddenly stopped them."Wait!!"All eyes turned to the direction from which the voice came, and it was none other than Mr. Cross Senior."What's the matter, Mr. Cross?" Jeremy questioned the old man with a frowny face."Why did you stop them abruptly when they were close to completing the
Chapter 490
The crowd had their eyes glued to the contestants as they continued to make their poison.The judges had their eyes fixated on them, too—especially Mr. Cross Senior.He couldn't take his eyes off Roderick. He was paying attention to every ingredient he picked to make his poison.However, given the distance between them, he couldn't catch sight of all the ingredients.The only thing he could tell was that there was full confidence on Roderick's face as he made the poison. That told him he knew what he was doing.Given the fact that his work had been ahead of everyone else's since the contest began, he had been using the best ingredients in all his work.This made Mr. Cross Senior afraid that Roderick would be using the best ingredients for the poison, too.Didn't that mean his grandson would be in danger?Mr. Cross Senior was completely restless.Shifting his gaze from Roderick with a worried mind, he turned to look at his grandson, who only seemed sure of himself on the surface.Meanw
Chapter 489
Nobody saw such a task coming.Jeremy was equally stunned to hear of the task, yet he seemed very calm about it.Mr. Cross Senior had already become restless at this moment.He was trying to understand why the judge had chosen to announce that particular task out of all the possible ones.The old man couldn't hold it in any longer and had to speak up."Ehm... How about we replace the task with something else?"The third judge turned to look at Mr. Cross Senior and made it clear to him."There is no such option, Mr. Cross. There will be no replacement for this task."Ah!The old man didn’t want to believe his ears until Jeremy added,"Mr. Cross, don’t forget that no one opposed the task you issued earlier. So, I never thought you would oppose this task as well."With a frown, Mr. Cross Senior replied, "I never said I intended to oppose anyone’s task. But this is outrageous. What if something goes wrong for one of the contestants?"The third judge answered plainly, "You don’t have to ju
Chapter 488
Owen's face frowned slightly as Roderick finished ahead of him. Then, he sneered and muttered to himself, "So what? What if you finish ahead of me? I will definitely take the lead this time and get you kicked out."A minute later, Jeremy's candidate also finished refining his antibiotic pill.Owen wasn't done refining his pill until the 25th minute.Now that each of them had completed their tasks, the crowd waited for the judge's evaluation.Mr. Cross Senior was the first to speak. The first two candidates who completed their tasks earlier were the first to be evaluated.In no time, Mr. Cross Senior ruled them disqualified, as their pills didn’t deserve a passing mark.The first candidate's pill turned out to be something else that couldn’t be considered an antibiotic. As for the second candidate, he had made an antifungal instead of an antibiotic.Mr. Cross Senior moved on to examine Jeremy's candidate’s pill, which was ruled a weak antibiotic.The task they were given was to make an
