Chapter 296 - One Thought of Heaven
Upon witnessing the scene, Jiang Hao seemed to suddenly realize something and began to explain to the Jia mother and son.
“Oh!”
“I neglected to mention that the wine I just toasted you with was laced with a poison known as Ten Days Heartbroken Powder.”
Ten Days Heartbroken Powder: Ingesting this poison subjects one to ten days of excruciating pain akin to having one's liver and intestines torn apart, culminating in sudden death.
“So, how do you find the effects of the Ten Days Heartbroken Powder?”
Jiang Hao inquired, his face the picture of benevolence.
Yet, in that moment, the Jia mother and son, looking into Jiang Hao's kindly face, felt a deep chill in their hearts, as though they were staring into the eyes of a demon.
Suddenly, they were wracked with intense pain that sent them writhing on the ground.
Jiang Hao observed the Jia family's agony without a trace of sympathy.
Within a minute, the Jia mother and son were overcome with pain.
The thought of enduring such deep, piercing pain for ten more days sent shivers down their spines.
In that instant, they truly grasped the meaning of a fate worse than death.
They knelt on the ground, tears streaming, repeatedly bowing their heads to Jiang Hao, pleading for mercy.
“Mr. Jiang, please, spare us!”
“We'll never dare to cross you again, never!”
……
Unmoved, Jiang Hao watched as ten minutes passed and the Jia mother and son collapsed, convulsing on the ground with contorted faces.
Sensing the right moment, he casually produced two white pills and administered them.
Once the pills were swallowed, the Jia mother and son felt the intense pain begin to subside.
For a brief moment, they felt as though they had been transported from hell to heaven.
Then, Jiang Hao's voice broke through once more.
“The remedy I've just given you is only temporary, alleviating your pain for a mere half-hour.”
“However, I do possess an antidote that can suppress the poison for a month, a year, or even longer.”
With that, Jiang Hao fixed his gaze on the Jia mother and son, awaiting their response.
“Do you want it or not?”
Upon hearing this, Mother Jia and her son quickly nodded like well-trained puppies.
Seeing their response, Jiang Hao spoke up.
“Fine. Pledge your loyalty to me, serve me well, and I'll supply you with the antidote. Deal?”
“You've experienced the potency of my poison firsthand. No one but me can neutralize it!”
“So, think it over carefully before you answer,” Jiang Hao cautioned them with a stern warning.
Mother Jia and her son exchanged a glance, their expressions fraught with distress.
Then, Jiang Hao added another piece of information.
“Oh, and one more thing!”
“The pill I gave to Young Master Jia did indeed counteract the itching powder, but I also coated it with a concoction that causes ten days of excruciating pain, tearing at the liver and intestines!”
“Right now, Young Master Jia must be trading his old agony for a fresh one, sharing in your misery!”
Hearing this, Mother Jia and her son's faces turned ghostly pale as they forced a bitter smile.
“We yield, we are ready to assist Mr. Jiang!”
“We beseech you, Mr. Jiang, to grant us the medicine!”
Mother Jia pleaded, and upon hearing her words, a slight smile crossed Jiang Hao's face.
“Good!”
“Only the wise understand the times they're in!”
“Just remember, I'm placing my trust in you—don't let me down.”
“Take it from me, provoking a poison master is a mistake you cannot afford to make!”
The words struck fear into Mother Jia and her son, who began to kowtow in earnest terror.
“We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare!”
Satisfied with their display, Jiang Hao nodded in approval.
“Now, rise and take me to Jia Renjie!”
At his command, Mother Jia and her son quickly got to their feet and approached with the utmost respect.
“Right this way, Mr. Jiang!”
