Chapter 1984
As soon as the cloth covering the cage was removed, the two mice reacted with obvious alarm, running
in circles within the confines of the enclosure. However, their mobility was restricted, but where else
could they flee?
"Dr. Larson, I'll take the lead." Zayn purposely emphasized the word "Dr. Larson," which was laced with
sarcasm.
Matthew Larson, you should hold your horses! This is merely the beginning of what's to come! He
mused, and a penetrating chill lurked beneath his warm smile.
Seeing Matthew nodding in agreement, Zayn drew a long silver needle. Then, under the scrutiny of the
other three people, he dipped the end of the needle with the elixir made from the heart-stopper
pampas. Since he possessed both martial arts and medical skills, he could strike with lightning speed.
Next, he waited until the mouse was near the cage's edge before launching his attack with the silver
needle. Due to the excruciating pain, the mouse tried to flee, but as soon as it lifted its forelegs, its
entire body froze. Following that, a dark purple shade began to spread throughout the mouse's body at
a rate visible to the naked eye. A moment later, the life of the weak and defenseless white mouse was
over as it fell stiffly without a fight.
"Wonderful!" Baltazar exclaimed as the elixir's effect exceeded his expectations. Ah! My beloved
disciple has caught up to my level of expertise in drug-making. It seems that formulating my own
poison would have a similar effect.
"Your turn, Dr. Larson!"
Meanwhile, Salazar watched the event from the other side of the room and tried to conceal his shock. If
this poison is administered to humans, not even a martial arts master could contain its effects for at
least thirty minutes. Moreover, they will die instantly without putting up a fight if the antidote isn't found
in time. While considering that, his confidence took an immediate nosedive when he caught a glimpse
of "the perfect tonic" that Matthew was holding. He may lose this competition because the second
round will require him to develop an antidote for the poison demonstrated in the first round! Well…
Suddenly, Matthew patted his shoulder and flashed him a grin. "Relax!"
Afterward, he opened the elixir bottle and dipped his finger into it before placing his finger inside the
cage. Then, the last surviving mouse perked its ears, took a whiff of the air, and darted toward his
finger in the cage to lick it. It cautiously retreated after licking the elixir, but before it could take more
than a few steps, its entire body began to tremble, making it difficult to maintain balance.
Soon, the mouse gasped for air, then collapsed and died.
The results showed that Zayn had decisively defeated Matthew regarding the drug potency and how
quickly the elixir took effect. However, when he saw that, Salazar could not help but discreetly shake
his head. Matthew has lost!
However, as the competition's judge, Baltazar stepped forward to examine the mice. So, when he
opened the mouse cage, he confirmed that the two mice were dead.
At that moment, Zayn could not contain his laughter and said, "Sorry, Dr. Larson." It looks like I have
won this round!
"What's the rush? Let's give the poison more time to spread." Matthew's statement caught the others
off guard, and they wondered what he meant.
Wasn't it obvious who won the first match? Was he trying to have the last laugh, or was he unable to
accept defeat?
Nonetheless, Matthew ignored the stares of the others as he moved forward to remove the cloth from Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
the mouse cage, and the two mice inside the enclosure appeared to have a painful death under the
bright light. Meanwhile, Salazar was staring into the mouse cage with curiosity when he noticed the
mouse Matthew had given the elixir and began twitching its limb.
The unusual phenomenon of the situation drew Zayn and Baltazar's attention. Then, they fixed their
gaze on the mouse, and it twitched one of its limbs. Soon, after taking a few deep breaths, it rolled over
and started exploring its surroundings.
Suddenly, Baltazar's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible? Is this the resurrection elixir that
can bring the dead back to life?"
