Chapter 217
Lily tossed her phone onto the table and stared coldly at Jaiden like a beast ready to pounce, Jaiden couldn’t help but freeze under her threatening gate, and the tension in the box was palpable.
It took Jaiden a while to regain his composure. He addressed Lily politely, “Miss, why don’t you do me a favor since you have no use for Redushil anyway? I’m willing to offer you some rare herbs in exchange for the Redshil”
Her patience wearing thin, Lily rested a foot on the chair and stared down at Jaiden Eke a hooligan. “Is my favor worth anything?
“Hm?” At a loss for words, Jaiden stammered, “1-1 guess,”
“Oh!” she shrugged. “Too bad I don’t need money.”
Loid could not hold back a laugh at Jaiden’s defeat. “See, Mr. Quinn? My fiancée disagrees. I’m sorry, but I’m at her mercy. Please forgive me,
“So, you seem intent on snatching the Redushil from me.” Jaiden straightened his body and grew stem.
“It’s a fair competition. There’s no snatching. Whoever puts in the highest bid gets the Redushil,” Loid corrected him while peeling a tangerine for Lily.

“A Venom Man?” He frowned at her. Shaun and Daniel turned to her as well.
“A Venom Man or Woman grew up being exposed to poison. He’s venomous from head to toe. Whoever touches him will be poisoned, but the effects vary,” explained Lily while she cast a pensive look at the box next to theirs.
“What do you mean by ‘effects vary?” Shaun was confused:
Lily’s attention refocused, and she leaned her chin on her palm. Her voice took on a deliberate drawl as she explained, “Consider this. If you were lightly poisoned by contact with his blood, a simple antidote would suffice. But Daniel? He could end up with the Bloodbane polson or something even worse…”
After a slight pause, she slowly revealed, “the Mindshroud polson!”
A heavy silence enveloped the box as everyone absorbed Lily’s words. Loid’s demeanor shifted noticeably while Shaun and Daniel appeared shell–shocked.
Shaun finally regained his composure after some struggle. His words tumbled out ngently, “Are you suggesting that he’s the one who poisoned your grandmother and Jason with the Mindshroud poison?”
“Jaiden Quinn may be a Venom Man, but he has no control over the poisoning”
Straightening her back, she put on a serious expression. “That is unless the person who transformed him into a Venom Man knows precisely where the venom concentrates in his body. In that case, Jaiden could extract blood from the venomous part of his body.”
