Chapter 29 - Potion Deals

Cyril didn't return home after completing his deal with the old man.

He's actually planning to visit two more potential clients to earn more money. Only once he earned from them will he decide to find someone to introduce him to the black market.

He decided to visit one of the directors of White Wolf Navigation… It is one of the two private companies in the country that were allowed to manufacture the Crystal Hunter or the device to find the Purple Crystals.

The transaction didn't go as smooth as his deal with the Saint Torido Clan but he still managed to do it.

He was quickly brought to the special room where the director's wife is lying on a bed.

Unlike the severe condition of Torstein's granddaughter where she caught a disease from another world, the middle-aged lady in front of him is in a vegetative state after having a stroke.

Cyril already gave the potion to the doctors to check the potion whether it has poison or any chemicals that can worsen the patient's situation.

After not finding anything harmful from it, they decided to let the director's wife consume the potion…

"If you really managed to help my wife, you can just name the price… I will give it to you to the best of my ability. However… if this is a plot by my enemies, you won't die easily…"

The director, or Mr. Benjo Paras of the White Wolves, said in a cold voice.

'This guy has some serious trust issues…' Cyril smiled wryly and didn't answer.

With the man's current position in a successful and powerful company, it's not surprising that he has some enemies plotting against him.

Anyway, the potion takes a few minutes to take effect so they just have to wait for a while.

"A miracle!"

"What in the world is that medicine!"

"Panacea! Panacea!"

"This is unbelievable!"

The doctors hired by Benjo exclaimed after seeing the middle-aged lady move her arms and feet. She even managed to sit up straight on her own!

"I… I feel rejuvenated… What's going on?" The lady showed signs of good health. Her pale cheeks returned to red and her skin also looks healthy.

All of this happened in few minutes! This is why it's not surprising that the doctors were unable to believe it.

"Honey! Myrna! Y-you're really alright!" Benjo pushed aside the doctors looking at the condition of his wife as he hugged her tightly.

The drama went on for a few more minutes before Cyril decided to cough to get their attention. He wanted to get paid already.

Unlike Torstein who still needs to confirm the authenticity of his potion, this patient is different since he already healed her. So he wouldn't accept a late payment.

"Of course… Myrna, this is Sir Cyril… He's the one who brought the medicine that healed your body… I will leave you to the doctor for now as I still have to talk to him…"

Cyril smiled at the lady. She's probably 10 years younger than her husband…

Nevertheless, as soon as they entered a different room, Benjo started quoting a price for him…

"I can give you a hundred million right now… You can just give us your bank details... or if you want, I can give you a card containing a hundred million named after you… Just give me 10 to 20 minutes to complete that."

"A new card? I like that… and alright, we'll go with that price. If you can also give me a Crystal Hunter for free, I would appreciate that" Cyril didn't quote a price and let his clients do so.

"Is that so? There's no problem with that. I have one of the nine finest Crystal Hunters that our company made. You can have it…" Benjo smiled after hearing Cyril's not-so-difficult request.

The young man is happy with this transaction.

In truth, the price of the potion would drop to 80,000 Ains once the formula was leaked to the public. So he didn't really mind earning this much money.

It must also be considered that the price of an A-Rank Artifact ranges from about 10 to 30 million. So the hundred million offer is not a small sum at all.

Then, after completing the transaction… Cyril went to the last client which allowed him to earn another 80 million Ains this time.

"Finally, I can start my search for the crystals tomorrow…"

Cyril muttered after noticing that it is already late in the evening. He wanted to return to the town but he would have to take a long ride, so he decided to just rent a room in a hotel for the night.

***

Early in the morning the next day, Cyril received a call from Torstein.

"Cyril, our benefactor, thank you for giving my granddaughter another chance to live!"

"I'm happy to help…" Cyril smirked as he already expected this. He had just woken up but hearing such good news lifted his mood.

Anyway, he knows the effectiveness of this potion very well as he had consumed them a couple of times before.

"Right, you didn't give us your bank details but my secretary can bring you a platinum card where my payment is deposited. Tell me where you are right now…"

"Is that so? Then bring it to my place." Cyril then gave his current location.

"You move quite far for a single day. I didn't know you're so busy…"

"Haha… I just can't waste my time… Anyway, don't let your daughter approach anyone who just came out of the Arcane World. She had most likely caught that disease after meeting up with someone… You can check this on your own."

"This—I knew it! I told her not to meet that man! Aahh! Sorry… Thank you for informing me, Cyril. Just let me know if you have a request, I still owe you a favor… I need to go now."

The young man shakes his head as it seems that Torstein already has an idea.

Though he might earn more money if he didn't give a hint where she caught the disease, his conscience wouldn't let him do it.
