My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 895

Theodore’s face instantly darkened and his body was emitting a domineering aura.

Gideon was in awe of this master, who was in charge of the formidable Turner family.

Cold sweat instantly dripped down from his forehead. Almost instinctively, he wanted to step back and give up.

However, he gritted his teeth, tensed his body, looked at Ernest and said,

“Mr. Hawkins, this is what you’ve promised me. I must personally go inside to get the thing I want.”

“What is the thing that you must go in personally to get it?”

Theodore asked in a gruff voice. He was staring at Gideon sharply and alertly.

He was uneasy as Gideon was brought over by Ernest. If Ernest also agreed to let him go in, things would become very tricky.

The Turner vault was keeping the invaluable treasures of the whole clan. He could never let an outsider get in to pry into their secrets.

Gideon looked sideways at Theodore and hesitated for a few seconds before answering,

“What I want is The Book of Herbs.”

“The Book of Herbs?”

Collin exclaimed in surprise, “Is it the book that was compiled by medicine experts from many countries a hundred years ago which recorded uses of all drugs and medicines?”

It could be said that this book was a massive encyclopaedia of all the creatures and drugs in the world.

This point alone wouldn't make it so special, but the most important thing about it was that it contained detailed uses of each drug and even many precious drugs that already went extince.

Moreover, it also recorded a lot of experimental methods to combine several drugs to achieve the efficacy of a certain drug that was rare to find.

When this book appeared at that time, it provided solutions to cure many of the fatal illnesses that were once considered incurable.

It even reached a level that was greater than that of the current medical science.

But unfortunately, before the contents of this book had been shown to the public and applied in all countries, a fire occurred in the research site out of the blue and almost everyone died.

As for this book, it was said that it had been burnt but there was also a legend which said it went missing.

In the past hundred years, no one had even seen its whereabouts.

A hint of excitement flashed in Gideon’s eyes. He nodded.

“That's it.”

He loved collecting herbs. If he got The Book of Herbs, he would be able to own almost all the medicinal herbs in the world.

The thing he appreciated the most inside the book was that it had recorded the location of all the precious medicinal herbs.

Collin’s eyes flickered. He held back the excitement in his heart and asked.

“How do you know that The Book of Herbs is inside the vault of the Turner family?”

As far as he knew, even Theodore the family master also did not know what could be found inside the vault.

Gideon explained frankly, “I love collecting medicinal herbs. For so many years, I got many collections that are almost extinct in the world. That’s why a precious thing like Cocos can be found by me. I put a lot of efforts in obtaining relevant information and I learnt by accident that The Book of Herbs was stored in the vault of the Turner family.”
