Hearing Edith's question, the black-robed man was so speechless. There was no doubt that Edith's words were the biggest insult to Alchemist.
Even if the poison was expired, it could still kill people, not to mention that his pill was only made not long ago.
He was also very sure that he didn't bring the wrong pill. He only had one poisonous pill. Whether it was the smell or color, it was unique. If he brought it wrongly, he would have noticed it long ago.
But after Edith ate it, she had no symptoms, which made the black-robed person a little embarrassed. After all, when he made this poisonous pill at the beginning, he was a little proud of himself, because he thought he had made a top poisonous pill that no one could detoxify.
But he didn’t expect that Edith had no symptoms after she ate it.
"What's going on?" Casey stared at the black-robed man and asked coldly.
"I... I don't know." The black-robed man answered honestly.
"Maybe it was neutralized with the poison that I ate before?" Edith asked.
"This is impossible. I know the nature of the poisonous pill I refined. It is absolutely impossible." The black-robed man immediately said confidently.
Casey didn’t know what would happen to Edith next. He didn’t dare to delay time, so he said to the black-robed man, “You should be very clear about the current situation. Your threat to me is gone. If you’re not obedient, there will be only an ending for you, which is to die. Now, go to detoxicate my wife."
The black-robed man understood what Casey meant. If it was just now, he could still threaten Casey with Edith's life, but now Edith was fine even if she took the most poisonous pill. Besides, he couldn’t defeat Casey, so he could only listen to Casey's orders honestly.
Preventing the black-robed man from escaping, Casey kept one hand on the black-robed man's neck. Once the black-robed man wanted to do something, Casey would instantly break the black-robed man’s neck.
The black-robed man glanced at Edith and said, "Pull up the sleeve on your left arm."
According to his request, Edith rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and delicate arm.
After seeing Edith's arm, the black-robed man’s face changed. He exclaimed, "What the hell is going on! Why is there no poison in her body!"
Casey frowned. He looked at the man in black robe, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The poison I gave her is chronic, which can eat away the flesh and blood in the human body bit by bit, and it will form a clear blood line on the arm. But there is nothing on her arm, which shows that she is fine. But I obviously fed her the poison." The black-robed man said.
Casey also stared at Edith's arm and took a closer look. There was indeed nothing on Edith’s arm. Nothing could be seen.
"Are you sure that there will no poison in her body if there is no blood line on her arm?" Casey stared at the black-robed man and asked.
The black-robed man nodded immediately and said, "I can swear with my life. As a Alchemist, I won't lie about pills."
Hearing the black-robed man’s words, Casey's eyes moved suddenly. It was the first time that he heard someone call himself as Alchemist.
While waiting for the results of the examination, both Casey and Edith were full of anxiety, for fear that Edith’s her body was almost corroded by toxins and she would die soon.
While waiting for the results, Edith had even made the final arrangements. She told Casey to find a good boyfriend for Sherry in the future, at least the boyfriend should be as good as Casey. Otherwise, she would not allow Sherry to make a boyfriend.
When Casey listened to Edith talking about these things, he felt both anxious and funny. For a while, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, a nurse walked over and told them that the results had come out, letting them go to the attending physician's office.
The two people walked into the office of the attending physician. Seeing that the attending physician was frowning and was looking at some photos and reports on the table, both of them were all a little scared.
Edith was so sad all of a sudden. Seeing the doctor's face, she felt she would die soon. She didn't even want to hear what the doctor said next.
Casey was even more apprehensive, but he couldn't shrink back at this time, so he walked to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how about my wife's examination result?"
The doctor raised his head and glanced at Casey, then his gaze fell on Edith. He said curiously, "I have been a doctor for more than 20 years. I have never seen a woman as healthy as you. All the results are the healthiest standard. If a few indicators don’t meet the standard once in a while, it will be okay. After all, there are more or less minor problems with people’s health."
"But all of your indicators unexpectedly reach the standard. Your body is perfect without any problems!"
After Casey and Edith heard the doctor's words, they were immediately stunned.
