A Man Like None Other

After the inspection, Hartwin looked at Jared in disbelief.

Frowning, Wyatt said in disbelief, “Mr. Chance, did you possibly make a mistake with the pill? How did you end up concocting a poison pill?”

“This pill is incredibly toxic. I fear there’s no antidote. What were you thinking when you used this poison pill on Prince Cedric? Were you trying to make the Alchemist Guild look heartless and disloyal and make the people of Allardland despise us forever?” Thaddeus glared furiously at Jared and raised his voice.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

What?

Upon hearing that it was a poison pill, all the alchemists wore expressions of shock. They didn’t know what Jared was up to.

If he didn’t know how to treat the illness or couldn’t understand its root cause, he should have just concocted some insignificant pills. Although it wouldn’t cure a patient, it wouldn’t cause any death either!

What was the intention behind concocting the poison pill?

Did Jared have some kind of issue with the people from Allardland?

Bernard grimaced, radiating an intense aura of murderous intent. Although he had eavesdropped on the conversation between his son and Jared, he never imagined that Jared would actually dare to concoct a poison pill for his son.

“Brat, what are your true intentions?” Bernard questioned Jared coldly.

“True intentions?” Jared gave a slight smile. “My intention is to cure your son’s illness. That’s my true motive.”

“Hmph, how you dare claim that the poison pill you concocted for my son was for curing him?”

“I can see that you’re out to harm my son. I may have never killed any innocent people, but you must die today!”

Bernard’s face was flushed with rage. He was radiating a terrifying murderous intent.

The surrounding crowd’s expressions all changed drastically, and they began to flee in all directions!

“Your Majesty, I believe it must have been an error on Mr. Chance’s part. He has no reason to harm Prince Cedric. There must be some kind of misunderstanding here, right?”

Upon seeing the situation, Wyatt quickly tried to assure Bernard.

With the power that Bernard possessed, a mere flick of his hand would be enough to obliterate Jared!

“Father, this was my idea and no one else’s. It certainly has nothing to do with this young alchemist. Please, don’t harm him.”

At that moment, Cedric, who was inside the iron cage, began to speak!

He had requested Jared to concoct a poison pill, which his father had now discovered. Since his father wanted to kill Jared, he couldn’t just stand by and watch. He had to reveal the truth about the whole matter!

Upon hearing Cedric’s words, everyone was briefly taken aback. However, they quickly understood what was going on!

No one could have guessed that Cedric was the one who had actually requested this.

It seemed that Cedric too had been tormented greatly and was wishing for the release of death.

After all, what was the point of living a lifetime locked in an iron cage, shackled by chains?

He would rather be dead. It was likely that Jared couldn’t heal Cedric. Given Cedric’s specific demands, Jared had no choice but to agree.

“Cedric, why are you being so naive? I told you that I’ll make sure you get well even if we’re at the ends of the earth. Why seek death just because you’ve temporarily lost your freedom? Even if you were the one who asked for it, I can’t believe this brat dared to actually make you a poison pill. I can’t let him off the hook!”

Bernard clearly knew that Cedric made the request. After all, he had heard the conversation between Jared and Cedric loud and clear!

“Father, if you truly care for me, then let me die. I’m in so much pain, too much pain…” Cedric pleaded with a pained expression.

Immediately after, Cedric’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red. He opened his mouth wide as a surge of energy exploded from within him.

A chilling roar erupted from his mouth.

Completely consumed by madness, he incessantly rocked the iron cage back and forth.

“Let me out, let me out…” Cedric began roaring like a monster.

Upon witnessing the scene, everyone was dumbfounded. They had not anticipated how terrifying Cedric could be when he had an outbreak.
