The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 941
Beside them, Luigi and Osbert peeked over and their expressions grew equally solemn.
The air of the once mildly vibrant laboratory now felt as still as a stagnant pond, weighed down by an oppressive atmosphere.
Jean, unaware of the situation, looked puzzled and asked, “Are these medicinal herbs really that difficult to find?”
Neera nodded and briefly explained to him, “Snowleaf, as the name suggests, thrives in icy, snowy terrain throughout the year. Finding a single plant is already a daunting task, let alone ones that are seven centuries old. Even in the past few centuries, these herbs were considered extremely precious. And even if we manage to locate them, who knows how much time it will take?”
As she spoke, she suddenly felt despondent. The negative emotions of these days were becoming almost too much to bear, and her brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
“What we're most lacking now is time.”
According to Willard's analysis, the red spots on her, Vanessa's, and Json's bodies would soon develop into red rashes.
What would happen afterward was...
Jean reached out and gently touched her head, trying to comfort her inner turmoil.
“No matter what, with a prescription, there's hope. Let's give it a try first.”
Neera nodded, but inside, she was already feeling somewhat pessimistic.
Even Osbert, who was usually optimistic and cheerful, found it hard to smile at this moment.
Only Luigi managed to muster some encouragement, saying, “In the past, we've faced numerous research challenges, and this is just another one. At least now we have a direction.”
Those words brought a glimmer of hope to Neera and Osbert, if only a slight change in their outlook.
Neera rallied her spirits, and Osbert's mind began to churn with possibilities. He inquired, “Is there any way we can possibly locate these medicinal herbs?”
Neera thought for a moment.
There was indeed a possibility.
She immediately dialed Daisy's number.
The World Medical Alliance had a vast collection of rare medicinal herbs, and in this situation, seeking their assistance would be the fastest option.
As for the seven-century-old snowleaf, they would have to rely on them as well.
After all, the members of the alliance came from various parts of the world and had extensive connections; someone might have heard some information.
Daisy was surprised to hear Neera's inquiry about these rare herbs.
“What's going on? Why are you suddenly asking about such precious medicinal herbs?”
Neera replied calmly, “It's a long story. Can you please check with the alliance to see if they have any? I'm counting on you.”
Daisy spoke with seriousness. “Nancy, this is a significant request. I can't make the decision alone. How about I go find Mr. Grey right now, and you can talk to him directly?”
In less than two minutes, Eugene's voice came through the receiver.
“You, young lady, didn't you just leave the alliance not too long ago? You haven't even settled your points yet, and now you're asking me for such precious herbs. Do you think my office is a treasure trove?”
Neera spoke with a serious tone. “Mr. Grey, there are extenuating circumstances, and I have no choice but to ask for your help.”
Eugene, sensing the seriousness in her tone, asked directly, “Tell me the truth. What's going on? Why do you suddenly need these herbs?”
Neera didn't conceal anything and promptly explained the crisis she was facing.
Eugene listened with a visible concern on his face. “You've only been back for a few days, and this is happening? It's been two or three days already, why are you only telling me now!?”
Neera tried to soothe him with a gentle tone, “At first, I didn't realize how serious the situation was, so I didn't mention it. Now that I know it's a problem, I called you.”
“That wasn't a call from you; it was because Daisy couldn't make a decision herself!” the elderly man pointed out, then continued to grumble before finally saying, “All right, I understand the situation. I'll look into it and get back to you when I have any information.”
Neera breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him profusely.
While Neera was on the phone, Jean left the lab and reached a corner of the hallway, where he made a call.
However, it wasn't to contact Ian, Storm, or anyone familiar.
He called someone named “Tiago.”
When the call was answered, a warm and mellifluous voice emanated from the other end, like a breath of fresh air.
“This is rare. Why are you calling me?”
Jean replied calmly, “Issue an SSS-level mission immediately. Instruct your people to search the entire Phison's Hermit families for seven-century-old snowleaf. If anyone has it, bring it to me at Essley as fast as possible.”
The person on the other end seemed taken aback.
“I can do that, but may I ask what's happening? Why do you suddenly need this?”
Jean's lips tightened into a thin line, and his gaze turned even darker. “I can't explain it in a short time. Just issue the mission for now; I'm in a hurry.”
He narrowed his eyes and added, “Also, check within Phison if there's a study on 'Red Rash Powder' and if there's an ancient medical family with the surname 'Norton'. If they exist, detain the relevant individuals immediately.”
Without further questions, the person on the other end promptly agreed.
