Chapter 703

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


    ant.


    The burly man mmed 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 cab containing the Eremochloa. Nash


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


    As, 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?”


    As 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 As’ life hanging in the bnce, 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 theirints as the


    pharmacy was the only one within ten miles.


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


    Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. If As 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 exined, “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 bes.”


    Staring at the lifeless As 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 As’ men grabbed the silver-haired old man’s cor 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 pped 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 As, 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 nced at Nash, Brian Tanner’s grandmaster. With his


    extraordinary medical skills, he could surely save As.


    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 As!”


    Nash nced at As, 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?”
