Chapter 573 The Atrocity (Part One)


    "Father, Congrattions! You have sessfully made the Longevity Pill atst!" Scott''s son


    congratted his father for his achievement. After years of research, he finally made a treasure that


    was previously thought to be impossible.


    "Years of painstaking effort has finallye to fruition," Scott said in excitement. In order to prepare the


    Longevity Pill, he had spent a lot of effort, right from finding all kinds of precious and rare medicinal


    materials, to performing and revamping theborious procedures. It was all an extremelyplex


    schema, finally on the victory podium.


    "Congrattions, Father! You have made your wishe true. But, I have a question. What''s the use


    of the pill?" Scott''s daughter-inw asked curiously. As a miracle-working physician, Scott had studied


    innumerable wondrous pills all his life. Now, the Longevity Pill was an extremely valuable pill, and


    something that was extremely hard to ask for.


    Scott took the box and said with a smile, "It prolongs your life. Put away the box in case of need."


    "You are asking us to put it away?" the couple asked, a little surprised. Why would he ask them to keep


    such invaluable pills away?


    "Yes. The pill was made from innumerable treasures, costing half of my life''s painstaking efforts.


    Naturally, I can''t give it to outsiders. You should be careful to keep it well." The old physician smiled and


    turned his eyes towards his grandson ying with another child in the courtyard. The expression on his


    face became softer and softer. "Now, I n to stop refining pills and live an ordinary life. I will have my


    retirement and wish to spend more time with my grandson pleasantly. From now on, you and your wife


    will take care of everything in our mansion."


    The whole family was enjoying a blissful moment, and had no idea that danger was approaching. The


    reason for Walden''s withdrawal earlier was not because he gave up, but he was waiting patiently for


    the dark night, when he could kill all of the family members and grab the pills.


    The nightfall was earlier in the mountainside. It was early evening, but the air was abnormally quiet. Not


    even the birds were chirping their songs. Usually, this was the time when the birds would fly back to


    their flocks, swooping, singing and ying. But on that night, everything was so hushed.


    The two children were ying hide and seek in the courtyard. Scott was fiddling with medical herbs in


    the pharmacy, and the young couple were busy preparing some intricate things for tomorrow. There


    were peopleing and begging for the medicines, and the couple would show up to greet them.


    When Walden led his men and broke into Scott''s mansion, the old physician remained unaware, but


    the couple noticed it. They both were skilled fighters and always did well to defend their mansion from


    troublemaking people. Since people with different backgrounds always visited their mansion for


    medicines, the couple were always prepared to deal with customers not so friendly.


    "Who is it? How dare you break into our mansion at night?" the couple yelled out with swords in their


    hands. They moved forward, but suddenly, as they saw the hostage held by the assants, the couple


    almost got frozen with fear.


    "My boy!"


    "Who the hell are you? Let go of my son!"


    "If you want your son alive, give me the Longevity Pills." Though Walden spoke slowly, he didn''t have


    much time to waste with these people as the birthday banquet was drawing nearer. He had to get the


    Longevity Pill tonight.


    "It''s you!" The couple were quick to realize the assants who were dressed all in ck. They were the


    same men who hade asking for the pills in the daytime. But as they couldn''t get them, they were


    determined to grab them instead.


    Walden narrowed his eyes and said, "I don''t have time for this petty talk. Hand over the Longevity Pills


    and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, I''ll start the bloodshed with your son."


    Walden grabbed the child''s head. It was agonizing for the little boy who was struggling while he was


    being dangled. He cried out loudly out of fear and pain.


    "You two, don''t test my patience," Walden said coldly. "Choose one, the pill or the child."


    Before the couple could say something, they heard a loud roar.


    "How dare you!" It was Scott. As soon as he heard the noise, he rushed out. What he witnessed was


    his grandson held under coercion by someone, and the boy wailing out.


    Walden''s eyes were cold. "Physician Scott, it would be better if youe out and make your choice


    between your grandson and the Longevity Pill. You are a wise man. Do you consider the Longevity Pill


    to be more worthwhile than your own grandson''s life? You know, you can refine more pills in the future,


    but if you lose your grandson…"


    "You monster. How can you be so vicious? You came to my homete at night and kidnapped my


    grandson. You are doing all this for the pill!" Scott was raging. Ordinarily, they would never have


    remained off guard. But today was indeed a special day. He had sessfully refined the Longevity


    Pills, making his dreame true after so many years of painstaking efforts. They had rxed their


    vignce, and the young couple had drunk a lot due to their happiness. The mansion''s security rm


    was shut down and no one knew how that happened. All this contributed to today''s disaster.


    "Father."


    "Give them the pill!" The physician walked towards his son and daughter-inw and whispered


    something. At the same time, the couple stepped back to take the pill.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing this, Walden grinned. "Physician Scott, you finally agreed this time. Earlier, I offered you ten


    thousand taels of gold and begged for the pill. But you still turned me down, and I was left with no other


    option."


    "Well, the situation is different now." Scott ground his teeth furiously. The robber was a man who had


    earned all his fortunes, but still made the mistake of taking his gains for granted. If it was not for his


    grandson, or the fear of him getting hurt, Scott would never have conceded their demands.


    In an instant, the young couple came back with a box in their hands. Walden recognized it, as he had


    seen the same box previously in the day. The box contained the Longevity Pills in it. Walden breathed a


    sigh of relief and said, "Open it and let me have a look."
