Gonzalec knew that the medicine wouldn’t cause any side effects, but he wouldn’t tell them the truth because of Williams orders. He said while stroking his head, “I heard my grandfather say that there will be side effects if the vermin is not used well.”
This made Lucian glance at Devon, and she immediately asked, “Is there an antidote for it?”
“There should be. It was made by my grandfather, so he should know about it, and I have to ask him first,” he answered, deliberately pretending to know nothing, and then asked, “Who had side effects from the vermin?”
“The guest who bought the medicine has some symptoms after taking the medicine, so I’m here to inquire about it.”
“The side-effects are life-threatening! Are you sure it’s side effects from the vermin?” He asked.
“I’m not completely sure,” Devon was anxious when he heard that. Even though he didn’t intend to talk, he immediately said, “Can you describe the specific symptoms of the side effects?”
“I’ve heard it from my grandfather. The most terrible consequence is death, as you’re slowly eaten alive by the vermin,” he replied.
“Are there any other symptoms?”
“The symptoms are extreme pain and the inability to find the cause of the pain,” he spewed nonsense with a serious face.
Devon panicked, wasn’t that Natasya’s symptoms? He immediately asked, “Is there an antidote?”
It was impossible for him to have an antidote, so he pushed everything to his grandfather, “You need to ask my grandfather about it. After all, he is the one who created it.”
When Lucian heard this, she cut in immediately, “Please ask him about it immediately!”
Gonzalec smiled and said, “Lucian, I’m sorry but I have no way of asking him any time soon. My grandfather is so old, and he doesn’t have a mobile phone. Even if he had one, we won’t be able to get anything out of it. The only way is for me to go back and ask him about it.”
Lucian understood him clearly and said, “Fine, then you should pack your bags and visit him tomorrow.”
Her words upset him. The mountain road to his grandfather’s place was tough, but she was inconsiderate of his feelings and ordered him so insensitively as if he was her slave.
Even though he was unhappy, he forced a smile and said, “Sure, but who’s going to pay for my transport?”
They immediately understood that he was asking for money. Lucian glanced at Devon, and he immediately said, “Since this is done on my behalf, I will pay for the transportation.”
“Other than the transportation fees, the vermin is also very expensive. My grandfather sold each one for a hundred thousand dollars, so the antidote wouldn’t be cheap either.”
She frowned at his words and asked unhappily, “How much do you think it costs?”
Looking at her unhappy face, Gonzalec felt more and more uncomfortable.
“I don’t know, you also know that my grandfather is not very easy to deal with. He is known for his eccentric temper and is difficult to please. As long as he is unhappy, he won’t give us any information, and he doesn’t particularly favor me either, even though I am his grandson. Therefore, this is a difficult task.”
“Money is not a problem, I just need you to get the antidote,” Devon chimed in, “Since the vermin itself is a hundred thousand dollars, the antidote must be double the price, right? Other than that, I want something else.”
“What else do you want? I don’t know if my grandfather has it or not,” Gonzalec didn’t know what he wanted, so he didn’t agree immediately.
“Since he is a master of vermins, he should know about the blood vermin. I want that!” Devon finally said his purpose.
The word “blood vermin” gave Gonzalec a fright., he suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and said, “Okay, I’ll ask him about it and give you an answer then.”
“You must help me get this done. The price is flexible, and I will arrange for someone to go with you,” Devon didn’t trust Gonzalec to go alone, so he proposed to arrange for one of his men to go with him.
He did not refuse and said, “Sure, no problem.”
Seeing that Gonzalec didn’t refuse his requests, Devon sighed in relief and said, “I’ll give the money to the person who will accompany you on your journey. You can tell me the price for the blood vermin after you ask your grandfather about it!”
Gonzalec agreed and nodded his head.
The three of them stayed in the tea house for two hours until Devon left. When he left, Lucian’s face sank, and she looked at Gonzalec unhappily, “What is the meaning of this? Why didn’t you discuss the money with me beforehand?”
Gonzalec was upset that she was giving him an attitude, “Lucian, what I did wasn’t unreasonable.”
“One pill costs 200, 000 dollars? Isn’t that too much?” She never took him seriously, so she was ashamed that he boldly negotiated the price with Devon without discussing it with her beforehand.
She was in a bad mood and mercilessly scolded him, “Who do you think Devon is? He is not someone you can disrespect! Listen, you’ll probably need a lot of his help in the future, and I wonder what you’ll do if he does the same thing you did to him today!”
“It really wasn’t unreasonable for me to negotiate the price with him! To tell you the truth, the vermin are used to hurt people, so why the hell would there be an antidote for it? Even if there is one, it’ll probably take a lot of effort to create it. My grandfather is old, and this is a difficult task, 200, 000 dollars is not much at all!”
“Haha! Keep fooling me! Do you think I’m dumb? I can’t change what happened today, but you better watch out in the future!” She left angrily, and Gonzalec was also furious as he watched her leave.
After watching her leave, he spat fiercely, picked up his cell phone, and called Silas, “I met with Devon just now and followed your orders to record the conversation and report to you!”
“Good job! You can send me the audio and go home first, I’ll tell you what to do next later.”
Gonzalec immediately sent the audio to him, who then forwarded it to William. After listening to the whole conversation, William pondered for a moment.
“Natasya’s so-called side effects are caused by my arrangements for someone to inject bacteria into her system, and its effects won’t stay for long. If we follow the time, she should get better soon. Just ask Gonzalec to find a random pill as the antidote.”
Silas nodded and said, “Should we find a healing pill from a doctor for her?”
“No!” Valeria interrupted unhappily, “Give her some crotons instead! She’s not worthy of a healing pill. Let them buy some crotons with 200, 000 dollars and let her suffer from stomach problems for a while. It’s only fun like this, right?
“Good idea!” William looked at her and gave her a thumbs up. Then, he looked at Marcus, who was smiling silently next to him, “Do it according to Valeria’s orders! Give Natasya a medicine that will upset her stomach!”
