Chapter 118

"I see." Dustin nodded. Dustin recalled something and

asked, "Following what you said, between you and Edwin, whoever first

creates Eternumax would dominate the market in Swinton?" "You could say

that," Natasha confirmed his thoughts. "However, the documents of my

researchers have been robbed. We have to start all over again. It would

be too difficult." "Humph! That Hummer is too despicable! Him and his

dirty tricks!" Ruth was indignant. ""What kind of medicine is Eternumax?"

Dustin asked once again. "Eternumax is a medicine that not only increases

your lifespan but also retains beauty. It was said to be derived from an

ancient antidote recipe. However, because the recipe was crafted such a

long time ago, half of it was lost. We could only keep researching to

restore the full recipe." Natasha explained. "An ancient antidote

recipe?" "If I'm following correctly, I do know about a type of secret

medicine that has a similar effect to Eternumax." Dustin rubbed his chin

"Oh? And what medicine is that?" Natasha's eyes sparkled with interest.

"This medicine is called Immortunol. I read about it from a medical book

archive. It also increases one's lifespan and retains beauty. Its effects

should be on par with Eternumax." Dustin smiled faintly. The archives

that he read contained all valuable antidotes that had been lost in time.

Whatever was listed in there was definitely no ordinary medicine. "Hah! I

don't believe you for one second! Eternumax is a secret ancient recipe.

How could this 'Immortunol' even compare to it? I've never even heard of

such a thing!" Ruth pouted. "Just because you never heard of it, doesn't

mean it does not exist. There could even possibly be a surprise

discovery." Dustin suggested. "No matter if it works, we should give it a

try. Let me know what ingredients you need. I'll prepare them right.

away." Natasha offered without any hesitation. That was because there was

no other way to go about this. They were in a bind. "Rue, bring me a pen

and paper." Dustin tumed around and commanded. "Hey! I told you a

thousand times already. My name is Ruth! Ruth!" Ruth clenched her teeth.

Ruth gave Dustin a kick before bringing him the pen and paper. After

taking the pen and a few scribbles, Dustin finished writing Immortunol's

recipe in an instant. Natasha scanned through the list and nodded. "These

ingredients are quite common and easy to find. The only

tricky ingredient would be Luminianth Root." *Sis, there are a few

sellers in the medicine market. Perhaps we could find some there." Ruth

suggested. "Yeah. Bring Dustin along to check it out. I still have some

stuff to do." Natasha replied. "Alright…" Ruth pouted. Although she was a

little disappointed, she agreed to her sister's request. Her sister had a

lot of stuff to do. She knew that she had to help her out. After setting

their destination, Ruth drove Dustin to the market. A Mercedes–Benz

parked in front of a shop named Emporium. Dahlia and the others stepped

out of the car which stopped abruptly. Other than Florence and James,

there was also a pretty, well–dressed lady beside them. This woman was

Florence's niece, Julie Amberson. "Julie, didn't you say you wanted to

get a present? Why are we at a place like this?" Florence was confused.

"Aunt Florence, I just got the news that this shop has a very rare

ingredient called the Luminianth Root!" Julie whispered. "Luminianth

Root? What's it for?" The name piqued Florence's curiosity. "It's great

as a gift, of course! Tomorrow is the Hummers' birthday party. I'm

planning to gift this to Miss Hummer!" "Why are you gifting this instead

of gems or jewelry like everyone else?"
