Chapter 712 The Forbidden Poison Has Disappeared
Inside the study of the Yablon family residence in Musbane, a tall figure was leaning against the full-length window.
His name was Cameron Yablon, heir to the world's most prestigious family in poison creation.
Despite his young age, he had mastered the poison-creation techniques passed down through the generations.
As a result, there were plenty of parties who struggled against each other in an attempt to seek his help.
Nevertheless, the Yablon family rules forbade their members from getting involved in worldly conflicts. That was why none of them used poison for harm throughout the years.
Unfortunately, there was but one particular traitor.
By combining his skills in medicine and toxicology, he made a name for himself on the international stage by treating many people with unconventional techniques.
He was none other than Cadence White, the man whom Bailey defeated.
The blood of the Yablon family didn't flow within him. Instead, he was simply an apprentice of one of the elders.
Despite that, the promise he showed caused the Yablon family to teach him many of their poison-concocting techniques.
Unfortunately, his overwhelming ambition resulted in him being expelled and subsequently becoming Bailey's enemy before meeting a miserable end.
Creak!
Amidst the sound of an opening door, a black-clad bodyguard walked into the room and nodded at Cameron. “Mr. Yablon, something terrible has happened.”
The words caused Cameron to tighten his grip on the wine glass in his hand.
“What is it?”
The magnetic voice he spoke with carried an aura so sharp and frosty that it felt like a blade that was made of ice.
“The forbidden poison kept in the ancestral hall has disappeared.”
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out when Cameron crushed the wine glass in his fist.
As a mixture of blood and red wine trickled down his wrist, it formed a frightening-looking pattern on the ground.
The bodyguard, sensing the murderous aura, dropped to his knees with his pupils slightly constricted.
“I deserve death for failing in my duty and causing the forbidden poison to emerge in the world once again.”
Cameron turned around gradually, allowing the light to illuminate the contours of his face.
His chiseled features accentuated the cold expression he was wearing. Even though there was a scar by the corner of his eye, it didn't diminish his looks at all. Instead, it added a touch of arrogance and ferality.
“There's no doubt that you deserve to die. For generations, the Yablon family has watched over Soul Reaper, making sure that it isn't unleashed upon the world by the wicked, which would result in a shockwave of global proportions. After generations of safekeeping, we ended up losing it on my watch. Therefore, you're not the only one that deserves a death sentence. Even I will be held responsible for this mistake.”
An ashen look descended upon the bodyguard's face. After a brief silence, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his own chest.
