Nash blinked his eyes, feeling a sense of urgency creeping in. There must be more than just this one Eremochloa, but as of present, he only knew about this particular one. The imminent need to refine the Golden Onyx Pill urged him to secure this Eremochloa.
Taking a deep breath, Nash spoke up, âI can save him, but you have to give the Eremochloa to me.
A smug smile played on Fannyâs lips. Had he not been arrogant the
entire time? Why the change in attitude now? She looked at Nash
arrogantly and said, âToo late.â Then, she glanced at Mireille with a
provoking gaze.
âDo you really think Eremochloa can neutralize the poison from a Seven-Starred Begonia?â Nash spoke up again calmly.
Fanny sneered, âWe canât be certain, but it can at least delay the effects of the poison!â She believed Nash was just making up lies to
deceive her to obtain the Eremochloa. Did he think she was a three-
year-old child?
âWhat if I tell you that combining Eremochloa with Seven-Starred
Begonia poison will only accelerate his death?â Nash added, his eyes
narrowing.
âYouâre just trying to scare us now!â Fanny dismissed his words with a
contemptuous smile.
She opened the box and got ready to boil the Eremochloa into
medicine. Nash reached out and closed the lid, his voice like ice as he
said, âYou know nothing about Seven-Starred Begonias. Youâre just experimenting with his life by using the Eremochloa on him, no?â
Fanny unwillingly retorted, âAtlas personally said he needed the
Eremochloa. If something happens, then itâs on him. You donât need
to interfere in my affairs!â
Saying this, she attempted to push away Nashâs hand when he continued, âThe toxicity of Seven-Starred Begonia in itself is not potent. Rather, its danger lies in its ability to merge with any other toxin, thereby transforming it into a new poison.
âAnd Eremochloa is a poisonous plant before itâs sundried. Its sap can cause skin ulceration and weakness in the nervous system. It
becomes a good medicine after drying, but it still carries trace
amounts of toxins.
âThe toxins canât be completely removed even through high- temperature boiling!
âWhen you combine the two, the medicinal effects of the Eremochloa. will be magnified dozens of times. Youâll witness this young man turn into a pile of bones at a speed naked to the eye!â
Nash pushed down the box lid tightly as he bombarded her with the
information.
Fanny was slightly stunned. Atlas would turn into a pile of bones at a speed naked to the eye? Perhaps this guy had been watching too
much television.
Except for chemicals like sulfuric acid, she had never heard of any poison that could turn a person into bones, especially at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Nash sighed and said, âIâm not trying to scare you. Iâm not here to play.
tricks.â
âYou must be trying to scare me! Well, Iâm not easily frightened!â
Fanny retorted coldly.
Nash felt the impulse to slap her, but he restrained himself. What was
the point of arguing with such a single-minded woman?
He simply let go of her hand and said casually, âYouâve figured it all
out. I was just trying to scare you. Go ahead, give it to him.â
Fanny raised her eyes to stare at this man. She noticed that instead.
of getting angry, he seemed somewhat amused.
âYou think I wonât?â Fanny still believed that Nash was intentionally
trying to scare her. How could things be as exaggerated as he made
them out to be?
âNash, is what you said just now true?â Mireille whispered.
âNo, I was just scaring her,â Nash replied loud enough for Fanny to
hear. However, the more confident Nash was, the more uncertain
Fanny felt.
If what Nash said was true, then she would become a murderer. Once
she committed to this decision, there was no turning back. If she stopped now, she would be admitting defeat in front of Nash, and Mireille was still present. Was she going to be a laughingstock?
âI donât believe itâll be that absurdâ¦â Fanny took the box and walked
into the inner room. She decided to test the effects on a small white
mouse first.
Nash did not want to waste time here and patted Mireilleâs shoulder. â
Com
on, letâs go.â

Mireille nodded obediently and followed Nash.
