Chapter 65: It's Necessary
Ivan took the potion from Charlotte and felt grateful to her once again.
"Remember, absolutely do not mention this potion to anyone, and do not mention me either. Otherwise, both of us will undoubtedly die," Charlotte said seriously.
"I'll keep it in mind," Ivan nodded quickly, took the potion, and walked away slowly.
"Boss, you're truly amazing! I admit that I was wrong back then. I'm not worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as you," Vivian said with a touched expression as she looked at Charlotte.
Charlotte: "??"
Is this girl alright early in the morning?
"You must have spent a long time developing this magic drug, right? Three years? Or ten years? Did you start researching it when we were in Calva?" Vivian curiously asked, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
It's imaginable that if this news were to spread, the whole world would be shocked.
Imagine if I said it was randomly concocted, would you believe it? Charlotte looked at the young girl in front of her and coughed lightly, "It was a fortunate discovery, but whether it works or not is still uncertain."
Such humility is truly embarrassing. Charlotte is indeed worthy of admiration!
"If we just find a few people who want to quit using magic drugs to test the potion, then we can determine its efficacy, right?" Vivian suggested.
"The risk of testing it on people is too high, and the more people who know about it, the greater the risk of it being exposed," Charlotte shook her head slightly. "It's better for fewer people to know about it until we confirm its final effectiveness."
"But quitting magic drugs is a good thing for those who have been tormented by them and for this world, isn't it?" Vivian couldn't understand.
"For those who have profited greatly from magic drugs and depend on them, how do you think they would react if they knew there was a potion that could help people quit?" Charlotte asked.
"They would want to kill, right?" Vivian's face showed fear as she suddenly realized the seriousness of the issue.
Those who sell magic drugs are already ruthless criminals, profiting greatly from the addictive nature of the drugs.
But if they found out that the boss had developed a potion that could help people quit magic drugs, they would spare no effort to kill him and erase the formula.
"That's why, until we confirm its effectiveness and find a powerful partner with a strong background, exposing the potion we have would be seeking death," Charlotte said with a serious tone.
Vivian nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
"I'm going to buy bread. You tidy up here," Charlotte took a few copper coins and left.
When it came to cooperation, the first person he thought of was Diana. As one of the Abyss's Four Great Families, the Harriman Family's strength was not to be underestimated.
But Diana was not yet the head of the Harriman Family; she could only be considered a powerful contender for the inheritance.
The soft bread rolls were one copper coin more expensive than the dark bread rolls, but recently she had gotten used to eating soft ones and couldn't swallow the tough dark bread.
But how did she know that I installed a protection barrier?
"The elderly have light sleep. Last night, I heard a bang and got up to take a look. Your magic protection barrier is quite good," Bella, the old lady, seemed to see through Charlotte's thoughts.
"I emptied my savings for that thing, so let's make do with it," Charlotte smiled and nodded, taking the bread rolls and leaving.
When she reached the doorstep, the neighboring bookstore had just opened.
The bald man, who was organizing the bookshelves, caught sight of Charlotte and came out with a smile, saying mysteriously, "Doctor, today the limited edition manga is out, and I specifically saved one for you."
"The third volume of 'My Adventures on Anman Street'?" Charlotte asked subconsciously.
Wait a minute...
How do I know that?
What am I looking forward to?
"That's right!" The bald man nodded with satisfaction. Although the doctor had been too cold these past few days, when it came to manga, he was still the same.
"Well, then... bring it to me," Charlotte pretended to be familiar.
As an upright person, she definitely couldn't buy such inappropriate reading material for children.
But...
He specifically saved a copy for her, indicating that the original owner was a die-hard fan.
If he suddenly refused it, it would raise suspicion. So, he had no choice but to take the book.
"Here you go." The bald-headed man handed over a book wrapped in black cloth, looking mysterious.
"Is it still 800 coins?" Charlotte took it and asked.
"This time there's a bonus, so it's 1000 coins."
Wow! There's a bonus? Charlotte touched her pocket. "I'll give you the money later."
"It's fine, we're like brothers." The bald-headed man waved his hand nonchalantly.
"By the way, is there a woman still living in your house?" Charlotte casually asked, her gaze fixed on the bald-headed man.
"What woman?" The man's face flashed with panic, but quickly regained composure and smiled, "There's not even a female cockroach in my house. But in your house, there's a real beauty residing."
