Ron Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he continued to frown deeply. “It’s probably the Black Poison…”
“Black Poison?” Xyla Quest had never heard about any such poison. Now, she felt increasingly curious.
“Yeah. This kind of poison also originated from Sorax. It’s made using over ten thousand types of poisons. A single dosage the size of a sesame seed would be enough to turn someone into this…” Ron said.
“Like the Soul Devouring Potion, this kind of poison should have eventually disappeared following his death…” Ron added.
Both types of poisons pointed them to Sorax.
Xyla felt that this ‘master’ must have been related to Sorax somehow.
After all, these two types of poison were both rare poisons of this world.
If this person wasn’t related to Sorax, it must not have been easy to acquire such poisons…
“Master, honey, do you think this ‘master’ might be related to Sorax? Otherwise, how did he come to possess these strange poisons that should have disappeared following Sorax’s death?” Xyla asked.
“Could this person be Sorax’s disciple or someone close to him?” she added.
Stanley Batton thought about it deeply for a moment as he scratched his chin with one hand. “That’s a possibility… Or perhaps, this person might be related to someone close to Sorax.”
Ron nodded gently as he pondered with a somber look on his face. “Based on what I know, Sorax has a peculiar temper, and he’s a loner. He doesn’t have any disciple or family member. He’s always been on his own, and he came and went without a trace…
“However, this doesn’t eliminate the possibility that he might be close to someone unknown to the outside world…” Ron said.
“All this requires further investigation,” he added.
With that, Ron shifted his gaze to Stanley. “Stan, I’m leaving this matter to you. You are fully responsible. On top of that, you are also fully responsible for Xyla’s safety. If anything happens to Xyla, you’ll be the one to blame,” Ron said.
Stanley instantly looked determined, and he reached for Xyla’s hand. “Don’t worry. Even if I lose my life, I’ll make sure to protect Xyla. I’ll figure everything out.
