Chapter 846: Chapter 846 Killing People, Saving People
January.
It’s usually a time for celebrations, bustling with excitement.
Visiting relatives, exchanging New Year greetings.
But at this moment, the Leocadia Family’s home resembled a ghost tower.
In this vast villa complex, not a single person could be seen.
Occasionally, only a few cat meows could be heard.
Natalia Leocadia sat in the office, face ashen.
In front of him was a handkerchief stained with blood.
The blood was bright red, staining the entire handkerchief.
It looked like a lot had been coughed up.
It had been three days since Julius Reed left.
He now had to make a choice!
To save or not to save!
"Manager Leocadia!"
Just then, Adele Leocadia pushed the door and entered.
"Cough..."
He leaned against the door, covering his mouth with his hand.
A light cough.
Afterward, he slowly moved his hand away.
Drip-drop...
Bright red blood dripped to the floor through the spaces between his fingers.
"You’ve gotten worse too?"
Natalia Leocadia asked, his face pale.
"It’s getting more severe."
Adele Leocadia took a deep breath and firmly closed the door.
"Boss, have you found a way?"
Hope shone in his eyes.
Only Adele Leocadia knew one thing about the Leocadia Family Members!
The true Inner Sect Disciple hidden within the Leocadia Family was Natalia Leocadia right before his eyes!
Even Karen hadn’t anticipated it.
She searched everywhere for the Inner Sect Disciple, yet she didn’t realize that she was in the company of a Medicine King Valley Inner Sect Disciple all along.
"Useless!"
Natalia Leocadia opened a drawer and arranged dozens of bottles and jars on the desk.
"I’ve tried all of them, to no avail!"
Whoosh!
He punched the desk, his eyes filled with rage.
"This is outrageous..."
"Boss, even you have no solution?"
A sinking feeling hit Adele Leocadia.
Medicine King Valley Inner Sect Disciples, if out in the world, were highly sought after.
Their medical skills were sublime, untouchable by gods or devils.
Even Outer Sect Disciples were considered highly skilled in medicine, not to mention those from the Inner Sect.
But faced with such a poison, Natalia Leocadia felt utterly powerless?
"Sigh!"
Natalia Leocadia heaved a deep sigh and said with a sense of defeat, "Even though the Supreme Elder is coming, that’s three days from now. We can’t wait."
"Boss!"
Adele Leocadia ’thudded’ to his knees on the ground.
"Please save us! If Old Master Leocadia can be poisoned once, he can be poisoned a second time! Let’s survive first..."
He was fearful.
Frightened.
If they continued to vomit like this, they feared they would die from anemia before the poison could take full effect.
Spurt!
As he was speaking, Adele Leocadia spat out a mouthful of blood.
His complexion turned even paler.
"Just... just wait a little longer..."
Natalia Leocadia was not willing to give up!
Just ten more days!
Old Master Leocadia would pass away.
And he, Natalia, would have complete control of power!
With the support of the Leocadia Family, he could entirely use the capabilities of Medicine King Valley to swallow up the other three major families.
He would become the most powerful person in the capital.
At that time, Medicine King Valley would also come to the forefront.
To fulfill their ambition!
To revive the genius, the Medicine King...
In fact, that genius Medicine King had not died.
He was still barely alive, frozen within the Boulevard Mountains.
Waiting for the day to see the light of day once again.
"Boss! We don’t have time!"
Adele Leocadia got up from the ground, pulled open the blinds with a swipe, and pointed downstairs, "Look! Sophia Leocadia, that little beast, has even bought our coffins!"
"What!"
Natalia Leocadia was shocked, standing up quickly!
Only to see—
In the courtyard of the Leocadia Family, there lay dozens of glass coffins!
Under the sunlight, they were dazzling!
The glass reflected dazzling, multicolored lights, blinding to the eyes.
"She dares..."
Spurt!
As he said this, Natalia Leocadia clutched his chest.
Blood sprayed on the window.
Slowly sliding down.
Like a colorful painting.
"Save people first! Once we get through this, we’ll take action and eliminate both the old and the young!"
Adele Leocadia made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Fine..."
Whoosh!
Natalia Leocadia punched the window.
Three years of plotting, and just as he was about to succeed, it all fell apart!
He couldn’t accept it!
"Julius Reed, Sophia Leocadia! You both just wait!"
Natalia Leocadia clenched his eyes shut, anguished!
Finally.
He turned around, took out an antidote from the drawer, and threw it to Adele Leocadia, "Do it cleanly, don’t let anyone find out."
"Don’t worry!"
After getting the antidote, Adele Leocadia was ecstatic.
"Boss, I’ll go feed it to Old Master Leocadia first!"
He turned and left.
After Adele Leocadia had gone.
Natalia Leocadia opened another drawer, taking out a box of concealed weapons.
He loaded the darts.
His eyes gleamed with a hint of murderous intent.
The Leocadia Family’s road was empty.
Apart from the neatly arranged coffins, there was nothing else.
Spacious.
Adele Leocadia sneaked out of Natalia Leocadia’s office and headed towards the ward where Old Master Leocadia was.
The place was already deserted.
After all, everyone knew that to make the poisoner come forward with the antidote, they had to pretend to see nothing.
To give the other party enough time and space.
Otherwise, they would all die together.
Walking through the corridor, Adele Leocadia tiptoed into the ward, quietly approaching Old Master Leocadia’s bedside.
The entire room was without electricity.
Ensuring that all surveillance was turned off.
Silent.
So quiet that only the breathing of the two men could be heard in the room.
"Huh!"
Adele Leocadia unscrewed the cap, taking out a white pill.
He then pried open his own father’s mouth and placed the pill inside.
He followed by pouring a little water in.
And waited quietly.
Click!
Just then.
The lights in the room suddenly came on!
Even though it was daytime!
But the lights being on meant power was restored!
Adele Leocadia was shocked, the medicine bottle dropped to the floor.
The white pills scattered everywhere.
He stood up and noticed the camera inside the sickbed was moving continuously.
It’s over!
He had exposed himself!
But why, all of a sudden, was power restored to the Leocadia household?
Not earlier, not later.
Why would it come back on right when he was administering the antidote to his father?
Then, a noisy clatter of footsteps came from outside the door.
Adele Leocadia’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
He swallowed hard, intending to escape through the window.
But the window was locked tight.
Impossible to open!
"Adele Leocadia! I never imagined it would be you!"
Whoosh!
The door was kicked open.
Leocadia Family Members glared at Adele Leocadia, their eyes filled with rage!
And the three doctors also ran over.
They were shocked to see Adele Leocadia.
Indeed...
Was it actually the son who had poisoned his father?
Had Old Master Leocadia truly been poisoned?
"You’re worse than a pig or dog!"
Someone stepped forward and cursed furiously, "To strike down your own father!"
"Take him down!"
"We’ve trusted you all along!"
The bodyguards swarmed in, attempting to catch Adele Leocadia!
"It’s not me! This has nothing to do with me!"
Adele Leocadia’s heart was in chaos!
If the crime was pinned on him, he would not escape death!
"It was..."
Whoosh!
Just then.
The concealed weapon box made a noise.
Clang!
Then.
The sound of a shell casing hitting the floor.
Adele Leocadia’s eyes widened as a bullet hole appeared in his forehead.
Thump!
He fell to the ground, dead.
"Adele Leocadia, I always treated you as my most trusted person!"
Natalia Leocadia held the concealed weapon box, speaking coldly.
