Female Novel
Chapter 2024
"At this crucial moment!" Ray frowned as he could no longer keep himself calm.
The man Ray caught was probably drugged and was like a time bomb. If the man was unable toaccomplish the mission or return, the drug would probably attack his body.
It would be difficult to interrogate the man by then.
"Are there no pharmacists left?" Luke asked.
“There were two of them. But they followed Winson there." Ray grabbed his hair. He had no ideawhether the man locked in the cellar had swallowed any pills or not.
"I know someone who can help—Luca," said Luke. "She can prepare the potion according to theformula as long as the materials are prepared."
"Yes. We still have Dr. Craw." Ray clapped his hands and said to the bodyguard, "Head to the livingroom and ask for Dr. Craw's help. Just say I'm the one who needs her help. I'll send the formula toVivian.
She'll know what to do."
"Alright, Boss." The bodyguard left immediately.
Then, Luke added, "Before the potion is made, you can check the man's body to see if there's a tattooon him. If there is, then we probably won't need the potion."
"Come on. Let's go together." Roy pushed Luke's wheelchair himself.
Luke lifted his hand to stop Roy when they reached the cellar's entrance.
"What's the matter?" Ray asked.
"I'm not interested in man's body. I think I'll leave it to you and your subordinates to check him." Luketold Ray that he did not intend to go into the cellar.
"Sure. You're a decent businessman, after all. I can understand that." Ray locked Luke's wheelchair'swheels after that. "Wait here. I'll be back soon."
Then, Ray pushed the door open and entered.
The man looked at Ray who just came in and sneered, "Why? Have you found out who's your enemynow?"
Ray ignored him and ordered Hansen, "Take his pants off and see if there's a tattoo on his body. Besure to check carefully."
"Yes, Boss." Hansen heard Ray and did what he asked him to.
The man sneered when he heard that Ray intended to check if he had any tattoos on him. He took iteasily.
Ray knew at once when he heard the man's response. No matter how hard Hansen tried to find thetattoo on his body, he would end up with nothing. Hence, Ray left the cellar.
Luke raised his brows and asked when he saw Ray push the door open and walk out of the cellar.“That fast?"
"I'm not interested in men either." Ray shrugged his shoulders and leaned on the wall. "I think there'sprobably no tattoo on him."
"Then let's wait for the potion," said Luke.
On the other hand.
The bodyguard delivered Ray's message to Luca.
At the same time, Vivian also received the formula Ray sent to her and she said, "Luca, sorry to troubleyou this time."
Luca knew it must be because of Luke when the brother and sister came to ask for her help.
There was no way she could put it off as she felt slightly uneasy about it in her heart.
Could it really be Abel's man who sneaked into the villa?
Abel really wanted to take her away?
"Luca?" Vivian called out Luca's name softly when she noticed that Luca did not respond. "What's thematter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No. I just have to prepare the potion, right? Let's go. Bring me to the laboratory." Luca came back toher senses and shook her head.
In any case, now that the man had been manipulated, she wondered if he was sent by Abel to take heraway. However, there was no way she could be taken away now.
"Let me lead the way," Vivian held Luca's arm and said passionately.
The two of them came to the laboratory. Vivian entered the password and said, "This is the lab. There'shardly anyone who uses it. The equipment here is valuable. That's why we need the password lock."
The password lock unlocked as Vivian explained to Luca. Luca pushed the door open and looked atthe laboratory with advanced equipment.
Vivian asked, "Is it alright to do it here?"
"It'll be fine as long as we have the materials," answered Luca. She picked up the disposable gloves,head cover, and lab coat skillfully.
"The formula is right here." Vivian handed her the phone.
Luca glanced at the formula and turned to look at the medicine bottles on the shelves. "Let me see ifthey're complete."
She found the medicines needed on the shelf according to the formula given.
The equipment provided here was advanced, and the medicines were complete too. After a while, Lucafound all the medicines and began to mix them up according to the formula given.
Vivian looked at Luca with admiration.
She realized that the names of the medicines were more or less the same when she was looking at theformula. However, Luca was able to differentiate the medicines with just a glance. Besides, she couldpour the exact dose needed perfectly. She began to mix.
It was impressive.
Half an hour later, Luca was done mixing the potion according to the fixed formula.
"Done." Luca handed a full bottle of potion to Vivian.
“Luca, you're amazing. It'll be great if I can become as awesome as you are in the future." Vivian tookthe medicine from her. She could not help but feel impressed.
“Practice makes perfect. These are the basic skills of a pharmaceutical scientist," Luca said lightly. Sheremembered how much effort she had put in just to differentiate the medicines correctly and familiarizeherself with them back then.
Not only did she have to remember the medicines' names but also the ingredients and functions ofevery type of medicine.
That was the result of the hell training that Shanks gave her.
“You're too humble. You're really awesome, you know!" Vivian exclaimed. She held the potion in herhand while she walked out of the laboratory together with Luca.
The laboratory's door was closed. Luca asked, “Are you going to deliver the potion to them now?"
“Yes. Ray told me that he needs it now." Vivian nodded.
“Can I go there and take a look? I'm curious what the potion is for." Luca knew what the potion wasused for. She was pretending that she did not know it. She wanted to know whether or not the man whobroke into the villa was from the Island of Despair.
“I'm not sure either. But just follow me since you're curious about it," said Vivian. Luca was not a badperson. It was alright for Vivian to bring Luca together with her.
Luca nodded and followed behind Vivian.
After they got into the elevator and headed to the basement, Luca followed Vivian and walked throughthe long corridor. They came to the cellar's entrance.
Luca reckoned that the cellar was probably built under the garden instead of the house itself. She couldnot differentiate if it was under the front yard or the back yard.novelbin
Luke was not surprised to see Luca come along with Vivian.
After all, she was curious about it.
“Thank you, Dr. Craw," Ray said politely as he took the potion from Vivian.
“It's nothing. I'm glad to be of help," replied Luca. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the entrance ofthe cellar. It seemed like the man who broke into the house was locked behind this door.
The soundproof system here was good. There was no way anyone would be able to hear a sound onthe first floor even if someone was tortured in there.
“Take this. Have Hansen pour some of the potion on a towel and be sure to wipe every inch of thatman's body skin," Ray gave his orders.
