Chapter 1024


    Theodore asked immediately, “Please tell me what nt it is. I will have my people go search for it right


    away.”


    “Rhodi rosea,” answered Lennon.


    Gasp!


    Theodore couldn’t help but gasp.


    “I’ve heard of that nt before. It is one of the ten rarest nts. Only four herb ntations produce


    them in small quantities. Moreover, every single one of them was kept by the military. To make matters


    worse, the Great Marshal recently took over the task of keeping all ten rarest nts safe. I cannot get


    one with my current level of influence.”


    Lennon said, “Calm down. I’ve already looked around, and Tulle ns on selling one via the ck


    market. The one who pays the most will get the nt. Do everything you can to get your hands on it if


    you don’t want to die.”


    Theodore was ecstatic. “Thank you, Mr. Sullivan. I am eternally grateful.”


    “Also, I’ve poisoned Zeke Williams, and he will need the nt to cure his poison too. He might go into


    the bidding war with you. If you can get your hands on thatst avable Rhodi Rosea, you will live,


    and Zeke will die because this is a crucial ingredient for his medicine. You mustn’t lose to him,” added


    Lennon.


    Theodore was thrilled to hear that. “Okay! I will spend all my money and sell off all my assets to get thatN?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    nt. Emptying my estate to kill Zeke Williams. Hah! Now that is a bargain.”


    Lennon’s lips curved into an undetectable, evil grin.


    He nned on using that nt to cure his own poison.


    As for Theodore... Well, he can die or whatever. I don’t care.


    The auction would take ce in a marketce in Atheville.


    Theodore and Lennon showed up early in the morning.


    The poisonous worms inside their bodies would act up every afternoon. The sooner they get the nt,


    the sooner they’d be able to cure themselves. If they were lucky, they might actually avoid suffering the


    pain that very afternoon.


    As predicted, Zeke showed up at the marketce to bid for the nt too.


    Lennon scoffed, “You’re strong, Williams. You didn’t even die of agonizing pain yesterday.”


    Zeke chuckled yfully. “Sorry, but I have already cured myself of your puny poison. You... I poisoned


    you yesterday, and you didn’t die of pain, but it seems that you will not survive today.”


    “Mr. Sullivan, you were poisoned as well?” blurted Theodore curiously.


    “His impotent poison can’t do anything to me. I’ve already rid myself of that worm. Let’s head in. I don’t


    want to waste my time with him,” said Lennon.


    Both men walked into the auction house.


    Zeke spoke meaningfully, “Theodore, did a certain someone tell you to bid for the Rhodi Rosea to


    cure your poison? Aw, you might end up spending all your effort to get the nt that will never be used


    on yourself.”


    Theodore frowned.


    What does Zeke mean by that? Is he hinting that Lennon wants me to bid on the nt to cure himself


    instead of helping me? Could it be that Lennon never rid himself of Zeke’s poison?


    Theodore then thought about how Lennon had personallye to the auction house and seemed to


    value the nt a lot.


    In other words, he acted as if he truly cared about Theodore’s life...


    Why would a member of the Sullivan family care if a random representative lives or dies?


    An uneasiness crept up on Theodore.


    Lennon realized Theodore was acting weirdly, so the former scolded, “Do you really think I can’t see


    the doubt in your eyes? When have you ever seen me groaning in pain? I’ve rid myself of that worm


    and have no use for the nt. Williams is obviously trying to drive a wedge between us, and you


    bought his lie just like that. No wonder he defeated you.”
