Chapter 451
Anna knew that Vivienne wanted her to neutralize the poison.
It was a test that came out of nowhere.
After Vivienne dropped that bombshell, she sat at the corner café, idly scrolling on her smartphone.
Anna''s lips had turned a ghostly shade of white, her skin sprouting angry red welts, her breathing
shallow and fast.
Within two minutes, Anna''s limbs began to spasm, the skin on her arms peeling away to reveal
festering sores.
The speed of it all was something Anna had not anticipated. She had thought she would have at least
an hour. But it happened so rapidly!
Vivienne, seeing Anna''s plight, was not surprised.
To keep the poison at bay for two minutes was an achievement in itself.
There were not many who could do that.
Vivienne handed Anna her half-finishedtte.
As Anna drank it, the corrosive sores miraculously began to heal before their eyes, the hives receded,
the spasms ceased, and color returned to Anna''s lips.
Anna took a deep breath, relief washing over her.
For a split second, she had thought she was a goner.
"This poison''s more vicious than GTO’s," Anna said gravely.
Vivienne finally put away her phone. "GTO''s child''s y. Keep pushing."
Anna nodded, her gaze flickering past Vivienne, catching a swift shadow that disappeared as quickly
as it emerged.
Vivienne''s smile deepened. "Perhaps we should head back to theb."
Anna was thinking the same. She clutched thette - her lifeline.
She wanted to use theb''s equipment to dissect the concoction that had nearly imed her life.
...
In the mall''s underground parking lot.
Rex slid into his car, ignited the engine with the ferocity of a storm, and sped toward theb.
Vivienne had neutralized his poison!
How was that possible? Only that damned Specter Healer was supposed to have that ability.
Now there was Vivienne too!
Could she be the elusive Specter Healer?
Impossible!
Was Specter Healer supposed to be this attractive?
Rex shook his head in disbelief.
It could not be this slip of a girl. There had to be a mistake.
Muttering curses, he floored the pedal and raced back to theb.
Specter Healer or not, he had to flee.
But before he ran, he needed all the data on the potion. To him, it was a Pandora''s Box filled with
endless possibilities. He had never seen anything quite like it. He vowed to use all his knowledge to
replicate it, to make it even more potent.
With it, he would defeat the Specter Healer.
And that Boar Poison!
He would create a toxin a hundred times stronger!
He would make the Specter Healer kneel before him!
Excited by the thought, Rex sped into theb.
Donning his white coat, he entered with his usual genteel charm.
He collected the potion and all rted materials methodically.
The others were engrossed in their work, oblivious to the impending theft.
This yed right into Rex''s hands.
Once everything was packed, a triumphant smile crossed his face.
Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching.
Whirling around, he saw a portly man with a genuine smile twirling asso in greeting.
"Hi, long time no see, my little peach!"
"Damn it!"
Rex cursed and bolted.
But the portly man, Brian, moved with surprising agility, hissso striking Rex''s legs with precision.
Rex''s legs buckled, and he crashed to the ground, yet he managed to protect the potion in his pocket.
"Brian, you relentless bastard!" Rex spat through gritted teeth.
Brian casually rubbed his nose while hissso kept moving. "Brody, you''re still my cash cow. Hurry up,
and let me catch you. Run againter. Just let me secure the bag first."
"Go to hell!"
Rex was Brody, in disguise, infiltrating the YQb!
Potion in hand, he ran for his life.
Brian was relentless, alternating betweenshing hissso and hurling knives.
Theb echoed with the sounds of pursuit.
"Stop running!"
"Stopping would be idiotic!"
"Halt!"
"Chase me again and see if I don''t poison you!"
The tter ofb equipment crashing to the floor was interspersed with their shouts.
Theb staff had to halt their work, with Holdenmenting the chaos, "Oh, take it easy, that machine''s
worth a cool 30 million dors! Be careful, that''s mypleted reagent, oh my god, my research!"
But a mereb brawl would not resolve the deep-seated feud between Brody and Brian.
Anna listened to the cacophony outside theb and asked, "Ms. Vivienne, is everything good?"
Vivienne massaged her temples, "We''re fine!"
With that, she kicked open theb door and grabbed Brian, who was mid-whip.
Caught off guard, Brian cursed, "Who the hell is stealing my payday!"
He turned to see Vivienne''s icy re and shuddered.
Then, his anger melted into a cid smile. "Give me two more minutes, Vivienne, and I''ll bag him!"
Vivienne kicked Brian aside, pointing to where Brodyy defeated.
Brian, all smiles again, swiftly tied up Brody.
Brody, limp and unable to resist, was now at Brian''s mercy.
It was now crystal clear to him: Vivienne was none other than the infamous Specter Healer.
Only the Specter Healer could administer poison so stealthily, forcing him to spend a grueling half hour
concocting the antidote.
Vivienne rolled her eyes with a bored expression. "Idiot." NovelDrama.Org

Initially, it was mere suspicion.
But when Rex had left Leopold eating his dust, attempting to poison her that same night, her suspicions
solidified into certainty.
Rex was her old acquaintance, Brody.
After all the time spent searching for him, he had walked right into her trap.
Why not savor the moment, then?
She had been biding her time, curious to see what other tricks Brody had up his sleeve.
He did not disappoint, delivering the potion''s breakdown right on cue.
If Brody had kept to himself, diligently working on potion research in hisb, she might never have
called in Brian.
But Brody, ever the meddler, could not resist the urge to dabble in his old habits and poison Anna.
There was no other choice but to let Brian deal with him.
