After half a second, only to see him put the medicine down.
"Did Clinton give you this stuff?"
Queeny nodded.
"He said it was only available to them at THE Zaccardi Family, and we've taken it to other medical doctors before, but none of them have been able to analyze the ingredients in it, let alone replicate it."
Speaking of which, Queeny's brow couldn't help but bring a hint of sadness.
Ian nodded, "Of course they can't replicate it, because it's not a medicine at all, but the fruit of a plant called money beads!"
When these words came out, everyone couldn't help but freeze.
"Money beads? What's that?"
Ian said in a light voice: "A rare poisonous herb, legend has it that it grows in extremely cold and dry places, usually near graves, but I have only read about it in books and information, and have not seen it for real."
Natalia blushed.
"So it's not sold on the market?"
Ian looked at her and sneered, "Sell? If I hadn't seen it today, I would have thought it was extinct, who would sell it?"
Natalia choked.
Felix said in a deep voice: "Since Clinton can come up with this, it means he has it there, big deal, I'll lead someone to kill in and grab a few plants out."
Ian shook his head.
"Useless, this thing to plant up very troublesome, where the original growth, it must always be where, if you leave the original soil, a second can immediately wither, you get it also use."
Ian's words silenced everyone.
Queeny pursed the corners of her lips, half a second, forced a smile.
"In that case, I won't force it."
Felix's brow, however, knitted up deeply.
After Ian said those words, he took Kiera and left.
The room was quiet for a while, and several people sat in their respective positions, none of them speaking.
After a long time, it was Archie who broke the silence.
"Although Uncle Ian said so, but you should not be discouraged, the good thing is that Clinton is still willing to bargain with you now, when the time comes to collect the Celestial Book, the big deal is that we do not change the medicine, just a few money beads, I believe he will not refuse."
Natalia nodded.
"His main purpose is still in Celestial Book, Queeny alive or dead, it doesn't matter to him, so you guys shouldn't worry too much."
Felix looked at her and didn't say anything.
Queeny, however, smiled.
"I know, you guys just don't worry about me, just do as you say, I see the Zaccardi Family that and much older people, and have not seen any early death, I believe that as long as you get the money beads, it will be fine."
Everyone nodded their heads.
At this point, it was only then that each dispersed.
After Felix and Queeny left, Natalia said with some concern, "Archie, I always feel that something is not right about this."
Archie helped her sit down on the bed and rubbed her calves after a long day of walking.
