Chapter 265: Commercial Crisis in the Underworld Business
After finishing his report, the subordinate handed Leon an official bulletin. The marked section contained news of the Baron’s death. This was an Imperial regulation: when someone holding a noble title died, unless there was a need for confidentiality, the news had to be published in an official bulletin.
However, the report did not mention the specific details of the Baron’s death, much less the cause of death determined by the Inquisition. After all, as far as the family was concerned, dying from poisoning after drinking a Magic Potion was certainly not something glorious enough to announce widely.
Baron Lawrence really was dead…… But poisoning, how was that possible?
That was Leon’s first thought.
After someone drank a Magic Potion and then suffered Magical Beast poisoning, the first reaction of most people would naturally be that something had gone wrong with the Magic Potion.
But all the Magic Potion formulas currently being used here had been developed and inspected by Weiss. There was absolutely no possibility that such a major problem could have originated from the formulas themselves.
He would not casually guarantee the territories overseen by the other executives, but River Valley County was his territory. After Weiss arrived, the production process for Magic Potions had become extremely standardized. Even the external compounding rooms were the same. During training, those pharmacists had all been thoroughly drilled in the laboratory rules and regulations Weiss had established, and Leon had also required those rules to be implemented across every territory.
Nowadays, every Magic Potion compounded here had to undergo animal testing to confirm its safety. Every time a batch was bottled and shipped, its production batch would be recorded.
The containers were also washed and dried. After bottling, they would undergo random inspections as well. Only after every stage had been confirmed free of problems would the bottles and shipping crates be affixed with extremely adhesive seals. The seals had to be inspected before every opening, and if someone opened them midway, traces would almost certainly be left behind. Once any problem appeared, the batch would immediately be recalled for investigation.
