“What was it?” Walter and Jared asked in unison.
“It was a reishi mushroom. It was gigantic and resembled a reishi mushroom yet a bit different from the usual ones. My wife was convinced that it would fetch a high price, so she brought it home,” Kieran confessed with embarrassment written all over his face.
“Where is it? Let me have a look at it,” Jared ordered.
Nodding, Kieran left the room. Shortly after, he came back in with a huge glass bottle in his hands.
Indeed, something that resembled a reishi mushroom lay in the glass bottle. However, it didn't at all appear to be a plant.
“This is no reishi mushroom. It's clearly a piece of rotten meat!”
When Josephine saw the item in the glass bottle, she almost hurled.
“This isn’t rotten meat. It's indeed a plant that grows on the ground, but it appears like meat.”
While saying that, Kieran opened the glass bottle and took it out.
“Watch out, Kieran! It might be poisonous!” Walter promptly cried out upon noticing that Kieran was planning to take it out with his bare hands.
“It's fine. I've already touched it back then, so I would've been poisoned long ago if it's really poisonous.”
Kieran wasn't at all afraid, blithely taking out the item resembling a reishi mushroom.
“In that case, your wife can't possibly have been poisoned by it either,” Walter said.
Since he's fine after holding it, his wife couldn't possibly have been poisoned in the same manner.
