F***, that must be it! How did I forget he is also an expert in using poisonous worms? My carelessness is making me suffer a huge loss.
John is the only person he knew who was an expert in using and expelling poisonous worms.
Unfortunately, John was dead.
He had no choice but to call the Sullivans for help.
The family specialized in poisonous worms, and even John learned everything he knew from them
He gritted his teeth. With his last shred of sanity left, he called the Sullivans’ heir, Lennon.
“Mr. Sullivan, it’s urgent. Please save me!”
“Huh? What’s up with you?” asked Lennon Sullivan curiously.
“Zeke Williams p-poisoned me with a worm,” answered Theodore Luna after taking a deep breath.
“I feel like my intestines are being torn apart, and I am being tortured. P-please help me, Mr. Sullivan.”
Lennon gasped, “Huh... that ba****d knows how to breed and use poisonous worms? Interesting. Damn, you are useless. You can’t even defend yourself against a ba****d. What is the point of keeping you around? By the way, how are things with Lacey Hinton? Is she dead yet?”
Theodore replied guiltily, “I-I just received the news. We don’t know why, but she shows no signs of being poisoned.”
What?
“No signs of being poisoned? That is impossible,” blurted Lennon in astonishment.
“Even my family couldn’t expel that particular species of worm that John had bred. How could a ba****d have done it?”
“But Lacey Hinton is fine, and that is confirmed. Zeke Williams once claimed that she is naturally resistant to poisonous worms and can kill them on its own,” informed Theodore.
What?
Lennon Sullivan was genuinely surprised and excited to hear the news.
“It seems there is only one possibility. Being able to naturally kill that species of poisonous worm... Could it be... Lacey Hinton has the physical property to cure all poison? That must be it. That must be it! Haha, my family has been searching for someone like this for over a hundred years, and we finally find one! I will personally head to Atheville. Wait for my arrival!”
Lennon hung up afterwards.
Theodore was stunned.
The Sullivan family members had not left the island for over a hundred years, but their heir was personally making a trip to get to Lacey Hinton.
Was Lacey Hinton’s ability to naturally cure poison really that important to the Sullivans?
They were ecstatic when Lennon told them the news he had located one such person.
The family had been searching for over a hundred years, and they finally had a chance of meeting one.
Thank the heavens!
That physical property was a hundred, no, thousand times more important than the King Worm.
Compared to Lacey’s body, Zeke’s heart was nothing.
If they could get their hands on her, their power and skill would grow exponentially. They wouldn’t just be able to hold on to their noble titles. They might actually become royalties themselves!
Lady Sullivan was the most excited one, and her face glowed with glee.
“Lennon, make a personal trip to Atheville. I don’t care what the cost is. You must take Lacey Hinton to us.”
“Understood. I will head over right away,” said Lennon as he nodded.
Lady Sullivan then added, “When it comes down to it, Zeke Williams ended up helping a lot in our quest to locate the person with the physical property to cure poison naturally. The kid knows how to use poisonous worms. Let him return to the family as our servant.”
Lennon nodded, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I believe he would bring Lacey Hinton to us once we let him know that we’ll allow him to return to the family as a servant.”
“Good.”
Lennon didn’t spend much time talking. He immediately got into the family’s private jet and flew to Atheville.
