Chapter 220: Drink This Cup and You’re One of Us
“What is this?” Adele looked at the bottle Leon had taken out in confusion.
“A poisonous Magic Potion. Simply drinking it won’t do anything, but as long as the person who made the Magic Potion wills it, anyone who has drunk this medicine will die on the spot. The effect lasts indefinitely.” Leon gave a simple explanation, “There’s only one bottle. Whichever one of you drinks it will have full authority over investment and trade within the territory from now on, and that person will also decide the proportion of my capital invested inside and outside the territory.”
Adele was stunned, then forced the corners of her lips into a smile: “You’re joking, right? There’s no way something that ridiculous exists.”
However, when she looked at the Priest and saw his solemn expression, her face changed slightly, and she cautiously asked: “I-is it real? What happens when the poison takes effect?”
“It turns a person into stone, then they shatter.” Leon replied, “I’m not joking. Father Auden has already seen someone poisoned to death by this stuff.”
Adele stared blankly at the bottle of Magic Potion, no longer quite daring to speak.
Father Auden’s deeply wary reaction only served to confirm that the Magic Potion was real.
So this was……the method Leon used to control people? It turned out she had still underestimated just how terrifying this man was!
“I absolutely won’t drink it, and you, stop thinking that this thing can truly make people loyal.” Father Auden stared at Leon as he spoke.
