What an evil poison indeed, thought Victor as he hid and watched Tom scream in pain.

This thing was used on a level 2000 emperor. He asked all the court' healers and alchemists to find a cure for it. But all failed. No system object could heal it, as it was a strange combination of traditional and system materials.

In the end, the emperor had to release that concubine who boldly confessed that it was her doing, she also forced him to compensate her for the emotional injury he caused when he killed her parents and forced her to marry him. That was not a small amount.

She made a sworn promise to give him the cure after three years and then ran away. The emperor could only look at her leaving with resentment. He was one of the strongest players in the world and was made a laughing stock by a little girl. He wanted to scream at her as she left, but could only utter a little yell as his nuts started to hurt him again.

After three years, the poison and the method to cure it were secretly sent to the palace, no one knew who sent it or where it came from. What truly surprised them was the simplicity of this poison. Its existence opened the door to an entirely new field of toxicology and medicine.

Sadly the emperor didn’t live to see that auspicious day. As he was deposed by his brother from the opposing faction. He forced him into a challenge for the throne and won easily as he decapitated the emperor who had to stop in the middle of the fight to hold his crouch after he saw one of his brother’s wives stripping in the audience.

As the pain would only occur to him when he gets aroused or overly excited, like when Tom looked at Lily just now.

The version Victor used on Tom was a light variant of the poison so it would not make him distracted, but it would still hurt a lot.

Victor still needs him to clear the dungeon and fall into the big trap he spend the previous day setting up.

Now he only needs to wait and hope that the trap he prepared works. Getting rid of a scion was always a dangerous job as the world tends to protect them from deadly situations. If the poison he just used was deadly, his attack would have never landed on Tom, or worst, maybe a cave-in would cause his death before he could order that goblin to attack.

The only one who could confidently kill a scion is another one of them. So Victor had to prepare some nice cards.

He stayed there and watched as Tom took out a healing pill from his inner pocket and put it in his mouth.

After taking the pill, the wound on his leg healed quickly to the astonishment of Peter and Aria. Who couldn’t hold herself and touched Tom’s thigh where the wound used to be, It was really healed.

But Tom who looked at her slender hand touching his bare skin could only scream as the pain attacked him again. Tears began to fall from his eyes. Who would create such an evil poison? This thing was the nemeses of all men. He needs to find a cure fast. Then he remembered something and looked at Aria.

“Miss Aria, you are a merchant right?” He asked.

“Ah, yes” she replied.

“You see, I seem to have been poisoned. Does the store you have access to, have any antidotes?” He asked with a painful expression.

Aria quickly operated her skill and looked at the store and indeed it had such potion.

“It has one, but I don’t have enough to pay for it, it would cost 1000 COINs,” she said, such antidotes were expensive. For a 1000 COINs, she needed to kill a 1000 goblin to get such amount, as the red gems can be exchanged for a one COIN each. That is for novice merchants though. As her level grows also would be her discounts and special offers. Like how Victor buys whatever he wants at a 50% discount.

“I will pay for it myself,” said Tom as he operated his screen to send 1000 COINs to Aria.

She quickly entered the store and place an order for the BASIC Antidote, but it didn’t work,
“It is not working.” She said, “There is a screen telling me that all shop operations were locked”.

Tom frowned a little, such a thing never happened to him before, but he heard that some dungeons have some weird rules. So this was probably one of them.

“That’s fine.” He said as he receive the COINs Aria sent back.

Neither of them realized that Victor who was watching from the shadows used one of his Merchant Administrator’s functions to lock Aria’s store for 24 hours. He can only use this lock once a month per player. But he wanted to plant a seed of mistrust for Aria in Tom’s heart.

“Can you walk ?” Peter asked Tom with concern.

“Yes, I should be fine,” Replied Tom who didn’t dare look at the girls anymore and started to walk in front of them after collecting the GEMs from the goblins remains.

“Ah, Tom didn’t you say you would protect us from the back? Why are you moving in the front” Asked Aria naively.

“It’s better this way” He answered with tears in his eyes, he does not dare walk in the back.

He needed to clear this dungeon fast and get out to find a healer. He had just discovered that the pain only sticks him when he looks at a beautiful girl, and as he gets more excited the pain in his balls would grow exponentially.

How can he touch a woman if this poison or curse was not cleared.

Peter felt strange but he quickly followed after Tom with Aria.

As for Lily, she looked around searching for her young master, but she didn’t find him and could only sigh and follow after her team.

She felt that her young master was a real bully. But she had no idea to what degree.

Victor smiled as he watched them leave then looked at the map to locate the twins’ group. They were about three hours' walk away from his location.

He sighed as he started to walk in their direction while killing some random goblins on the way.

A young master like him should be resting on the lap of some beauty. He needed to get more hands to do the dirty work for him.
