Chapter 703

With the power the Kennedy family held in Jonford, eliminating Nash would be simpler than crushing an

ant.

The burly man slammed his hand on the table, roaring, “Don’t you

understand what the sir is saying? Hurry up and hand over the

Eremochloa!”

The silver-haired old man trembled, looking toward the cabinet containing the Eremochloa. Nash

crossed his arms and calmly said, As I said, first come, first served.”

Atlas, drenched in cold sweat, breathed rapidly and said

intermittently, “Only Eremochloa… can s-save me. If you… give me the Eremochloa, I can fulfill any of

your wishes!”

Nash sneered, “Did that fool tell you Eremochloa is the antidote for Seven-Starred Begonia’s poison?”

Atlas weakly lifted his head drowsily and asked, “You… You know I’m poisoned by Seven-Starred

Begonia?” Then, he fainted.

“Sir!”

The burly men’s faces turned pale as the silver-haired old man and his granddaughter quickly came out

from behind the counter.

Fanny addressed the patients waiting in line, “My apologies, but we

have a crisis in the store. If your condition is severe, you can stay to get treatment. Everyone else,

please leave for now!”

With Atlas’ life hanging in the balance, both she and her grandfather

had no time to attend to the store. Letting these people wait in line would be a waste of their time.

The patients in line had no choice but to leave. They did not dare

voice their complaints as the pharmacy was the only one within ten

miles.

The silver-haired old man checked Atlas’ pulse and then pinched a trigger point between his brows.

Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. If Atlas were to die in his store, the Kennedy family

would certainly not let him off.

Fanny whispered, “Grandpa, what’s Seven-Starred Begonia?”

The silver-haired old man frowned and said, “It’s an ancient poisonous substance, passed down

through the ages. It’s as deadly as Crane’s Crown and the Five Poison Powder. It’s renowned for its

fatality to martial artists.”

Fanny was puzzled. “Why does it only have fatal effects on martial

artists?”

The silver-haired old man explained, “The first instinct of a martial artist when poisoned is to think about

how to expel the poison, and they’ll use their inner energy to do so.

“However, when one is poisoned by Seven-Starred Begonia, the more they use their inner energy, the

more active the poison becomes.”

Staring at the lifeless Atlas before them, Fanny asked anxiously, “Can he be saved? Can Eremochloa

really counteract Seven-Starred

Begonia?

The silver haired old man shook his head. “Seven Starred Begonia has

been known as the world’s most extraordinary poison since ancie times. It has been lost to time for

hundreds of years.

“Nowadays, very few people know about it except for a few families who practice holistic medicine.”

“Old man, what’s the use of talking so much?”

One of Atlas’ men grabbed the silver-haired old man’s collar and roared. “Hurry up and hand over that

Eremochlo-”

The silver-haired old man said in a deep voice, “Eremochloa might not necessarily save him!”

The burly man slapped the old man across the face. He pulled out a dagger and pressed it against the

old man’s neck, saying coldly, “If our young sir dies, your whole family will be buried with him!”

The silver-haired old man and Fanny trembled in fear. “Grandpa, quickly detoxify him!” Fanny said in a

trembling voice.

She dared not question the Kennedy family’s words. If something happened to Atlas, their entire family

would be doomed. She had not even gotten married or enjoyed the pleasures of life yet!

The silver-haired old man surreptitiously glanced at Nash, Brian Tanner’s grandmaster. With his

extraordinary medical skills, he could

surely save Atlas.

Fanny noticed her grandfather’s gaze, and her eyes brightened. She

stood up and looked at Nash, saying, “Aren’t you Brian Tanner’s

grandmaster? Quickly save Atlas!”

Nash glanced at Atlas, who was lying on the ground. He was bleeding.

and foaming at the mouth. He said with a faint smile, “I’m not familiar

with him, so why should I save him?”

Fanny was momentarily stunned but then retorted angrily, “You won’t save him just because you’re not

familiar with him? We see so many strangers every day in pharmacies and hospitals. Does that mean

we shouldn’t treat them?”
