Chapter 50

“Dad, this is the young man I mentioned to you, the one who used the hairpin to stop Olivia’s bleedingthat day.” Richard voluntarily introduced Thomas.

Quincy’s eyes shone with a strange light as he took a careful look at Thomas and grabbed his handwith both hands. “Young man, it’s really an honor for me to meet you in person!”

Thomas was filled with surprise at his actions. What’s with these two? Why are they happier to see methan their own family? Are they in love with me? No, if they were, Richard wouldn’t even exist!

Even so, he retracted his hand silently. The feeling of an old man holding his hand was just too strange.

“Do you know what exactly Olivia’s illness is?” Thomas asked.

Instantly, Quincy’s expression faltered, making Thomas feel a tinge of unease. Quincy picked up hiscup and took a sip of tea as he walked to the window and looked out in a daze, falling silent. At thesight, Thomas felt even more puzzled. If he knew it, he could just tell him. Could it be that Olivia’scondition involved other matters?

“Tell me.” In Thomas’ tone, there was even a hint of pleading.

He really didn’t want to see any of his friends suffer anymore. The incident with Zachary had hit him toohard, and if something similar happened again, he might even lose his will to live.

Quincy ordered lightly, “Richard, leave us.”

Richard nodded and withdrew from the office. There was no surprise on his face. As long as he couldremember, when Olivia’s condition was involved, he would be driven away, and as time went on, he gotused to it. This matter was just too important, and the lesser people knew about it, the better.

“Why are you asking this?”

Thomas pondered for a moment before he answered, “I don’t want to watch her die.”

Quincy studied Thomas as the gears turned in his mind. Thomas knew about Olivia’s condition, and hewas very clear about it. According to his son, this young man’s medical skills were not ordinary; at thevery least, he was inferior to him. Perhaps, this young man could really cure the condition that left himhelpless. However, he had promised Norman not to spread the word about Olivia’s condition. Thismatter was just too significant, as it involved the interests of many parties.

Olivia was truly pitiable. From the moment she was born, her fate had already been planned, and evenNorman couldn’t change a thing. Truth be told, he couldn’t see through Thomas at all. If he was able topierce two points with a single needle, it showed that he was a master of traditional medicine. However,if he knew about Olivia’s condition and cured her, this would instead be the beginning of a disaster.

“I’ll make an exception!” Quincy made up his mind. First, he pulled the curtains shut, and then he wentto lock the door of his office behind him, afraid that someone would come in.

Thomas’ frown grew even deeper after he saw her action.

“You have to promise me not to tell anyone about it,” Quincy warned, his expression stern.

“All right, I promise!” Thomas raised his right hand. “I, Thomas, swear not to tell anyone about this.”

Quincy nodded and drained the tea in his cup. “In Irieson, the Pearson Family is considered a largefamily, but there are too many clans in Irieson, and the variety of forces is complicated as well. Olivia’scondition is a genetic disorder, and moreover, it’s a man-made genetic disorder!”

The more he spoke, the more emotional he became. Olivia was a good girl, but she ended up gettinginvolved in something like this. The heavens truly were blind!

“Man-made genetic disorder? W-What does that mean?”

It was contradictory. After all, how could a genetic disorder be man-made?

Quincy had expected Thomas would ask this, and he began explaining after taking a deep breath.

After hearing his words, Thomas almost went berserk on the spot. Pill furnace? What the hell is that?How can a living person be treated like a tool?

As for the other dimension that Quincy mentioned, Thomas couldn’t care less about it. Who cares whoyou are? You better not let me replace out who you are, or I’ll destroy you!

The Pill Furnace was not just any ordinary furnace but specialized in harvesting Yin energy to boostYang energy. To put it simply, it was like a meal. Once the time was ripe, Olivia would be sent to adesignated spot. After they retrieved her energy, they would suck all of the blood from her body, andOlivia would become nothing but a dry corpse by then.

It was nearly the day for her to be taken away. Ever since she was born, she was injected with a poisonthat would seep into her blood and siphon all of her energy before storing it. Meanwhile, the man whodeflowered her would be able to drain this energy at once, causing her blood to freeze over. FromQuincy’s words, it seemed that this blood was a great supplement for the people from the otherdimension. Hence, Olivia only had one way out, and that was to have her blood sucked dry.

“How much longer?” Thomas asked, putting his cigarette out.

“Half a year, maybe sooner,” Quincy responded. It was impossible to change this matter. Between thesix families, each of them would take turns, and every fifty years, one person would become a sacrifice.It just so happened that this time it was the Pearson Family’s turn, and even the Pearson Family couldnot do anything about it.

“Phew!”

Thomas took a deep breath and stood up, straightening his clothes. As for who the other four familieswere, he was not the slightest bit interested, but if they wanted to make Olivia a sacrifice, they wouldhave to ask if his fist would agree to it. I don’t care about Yin and Yang energy or cultivation. They canreplace whoever they want! But if they try to touch Olivia, I won’t allow it!

After bidding goodbye to Quincy, Thomas returned to the car and began to close his eyes to come upwith a remedy.

A full hour later, he opened his eyes. He had already worked out a recipe that incorporated his life’swork. Since there were less than six months left, the toxins in Olivia’s body had to be cleaned up withina month.

You want Olivia to become a sacrifice? I’m afraid you’ll have to keep dreaming. As long as I’m here, noone can touch Olivia! Who cares who you six families want to pay tribute to? I’ll destroy whoever daresto touch Olivia.

Thomas’ eyes emitted a gleam of cold light, and even the temperature in the car plummeted.

After stepping on the gas pedal, Thomas drove to a traditional medicine store, where he had alreadywritten out the recipe. It was a store that appeared to have a long history, named Angelvale Pharmacy.

“Follow this prescription and give me thirty sets of medicine.” Thomas handed the written recipe to thegirl at the reception desk, who looked to be in her twenties. Her skin was supple, and her featuresexuded a classical and elegant beauty.
