Chapter 712
Chapter 712 The Forbidden Poison Has Disappeared
Inside the study of the Yablon family residence in Musbane, a tall figure was leaning against the full-
length window.
His name was Cameron Yablon, heir to the world''s most prestigious family in poison creation.
Despite his young age, he had mastered the poison-creation techniques passed down through the
generations.
As a result, there were plenty of parties who struggled against each other in an attempt to seek his
help.
Nevertheless, the Yablon family rules forbade their members from getting involved in worldly conflicts.
That was why none of them used poison for harm throughout the years.
Unfortunately, there was but one particr traitor.
Bybining his skills in medicine and toxicology, he made a name for himself on the international
stage by treating many people with unconventional techniques.
He was none other than Cadence White, the man whom Bailey defeated.
The blood of the Yablon family didn''t flow within him. Instead, he was simply an apprentice of one of the
elders.
Despite that, the promise he showed caused the Yablon family to teach him many of their poison-
concocting techniques.
Unfortunately, his overwhelming ambition resulted in him being expelled and subsequently bing
Bailey''s enemy before meeting a miserable end.
Creak!
Amidst the sound of an opening door, a ck-d bodyguard walked into the room and nodded at
Cameron. “Mr. Yablon, something terrible has happened.”
The words caused Cameron to tighten his grip on the wine ss in his hand.
“What is it?”
The maic voice he spoke with carried an aura so sharp and frosty that it felt like a de that was
made of ice.
“The forbidden poison kept in the ancestral hall has disappeared.”
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out when Cameron crushed the wine ss in his fist.
As a mixture of blood and red wine trickled down his wrist, it formed a frightening-looking pattern on the
ground.
The bodyguard, sensing the murderous aura, dropped to his knees with his pupils slightly constricted.
“I deserve death for failing in my duty and causing the forbidden poison to emerge in the world once
again.”
Cameron turned around gradually, allowing the light to illuminate the contours of his face.
His chiseled features entuated the cold expression he was wearing. Even though there was a scar
by the corner of his eye, it didn''t diminish his looks at all. Instead, it added a touch of arrogance and
ferality.
“There''s no doubt that you deserve to die. For generations, the Yablon family has watched over Soul
Reaper, making sure that it isn''t unleashed upon the world by the wicked, which would result in a
shockwave of global proportions. After generations of safekeeping, we ended up losing it on my watch.
Therefore, you''re not the only one that deserves a death sentence. Even I will be held responsible for
this mistake.”
An ashen look descended upon the bodyguard''s face. After a brief silence, he pulled out a dagger and
stabbed it into his own chest.
He knew, from the first day he followed Cameron, that thetter had no need for ipetent followers.
Now that he had lost the Yablon family''s most important object, the only way to redeem himself was
with death.
ng!
Suddenly, a sharp metallic sound rang out in the study.
The bodyguard was baffled to see his dagger drop to the ground alongside a dart.
Cameron exined in an icy tone, “I won''t stand in the way of your death, but before that, you have to
retrieve what is lost. Once the forbidden poison is returned to its rightful ce, no one will stop you
from killing yourself anymore.”
“Thank you, Mr. Yablon. I will not rest until the forbidden poison is returned. After that, I will seek out the
elders for my punishment.”
As Cameron turned around to look out at the night sky, he remarked in a nonchnt tone, “Since the
theft is recent, we should still be able to find some clues. Investigate everyone starting from the highest
levels of leadership. Whoever stole it from the ancestral hall isn''t a nobody. They must be connected to
the elders, one way or another.”
Lowering his head, the bodyguard dered in a voice brimming with conviction, “I will retrieve the
forbidden poison no matter the costs.”
Cameron subsequently dismissed him with a wave.
Once silence returned to the room, Cameron looked down at his bleeding fingers.
As a mysterious thought emerged in his mind, he curled his lips into a devilish smirk.
What else can one do with Soul Reaper other than cause another harm? Whoever the thieves are
trying to hurt, he or she must be someone powerful for them to take such a risk. In the entire world, the
targets worthy of such grave measures can be counted on one
hand. Hopefully, the poison has yet to be deployed. Otherwise, even I am incapable of neutralizing it. If
that were to happen, it would be the end of the Yablon family.
Meanwhile, Bailey was staring at a bunch of data in theb.
"Good job, kid. You''ve outdone yourself by producing such data. It seems all the guidance I have given
you over the years hasn''t gone to waste.”
Zain cocked a brow upon hearing her words. “Does that mean you support the idea?”
Bailey nodded with a smile. “Veronique''s condition has progressed into the mid-tote stages. Even if I
suppress it fully would cause a rebound instead. The best my cancer drugs can do is slow down her
cancer''s mutation. It''s unable to cut it off at the root. At most, I can buy her five years of remission, but
her condition will drastically worsen after that.”
Pausing briefly, she waved the report in his face. “However, your proposal takes on a different
approach. By fighting cancer with cancer and elerating the process with poison, we might actually
be able to wipe it out once and for all. However...”
Zain finished her sentence, “However, no ordinary person can use this method because it''s impossible
to get the Yablon family to formte a poison forthem.”
Bailey nodded in agreement. “That''s right. Your n is predicated on the Yablon family''s cooperation,
which isn''t avable to the general public. That said, their affairs are none of my business.
After all, we live in a world where the fittest survive. The only thing I can do is protect those around me.
As for the millions of cancer patients around the world, it''s beyond my ability to help them.”
After taking the report back from her hands, Zainmented, “Isn''t that all there is to it? What''s there
left to think about? Saving Veronique is all that matters. It isn''t your responsibility to save everyone
else.”
Nheless, Bailey broke into a wry smile. “But I might not necessarily be able to convince Cameron
to help us. The Yablon family rules forbid them from working for anyone, let alone making poison for an
outsider.”
Zain shrugged his shoulders as he replied in an annoying tone, “That''s not my problem but yours. I''ve
alreadye up with an idea that has a high chance of sess. The decision on whether to use it lies
in your hands.”
Bailey snapped her fingers before walking toward the door. “Fine, I''ll go and see Mr. Yablon. Hopefully,
he doesn''t turn out to be yet another man in love with me. Otherwise, Artemis will kill me.”
Zain was immediately amused by herment.

“Now that you mentioned it, I remember hearing about Mr. Yablonmissioning a painter to draw a
painting of you which sits on the wall of his private residence. Hey, does Artemis know about it?”
