Luo Qi's face was slightly pale. His limbs felt weak and he couldn't move them at all. Jiang Ning and his men had to carry him back to his study.
"Hurry up!”
The men moved Luo Qi back to his study within moments.
"Get out!" The man shouted and chased Jiang Ning and the rest out of the room.
Luo Qi had been poisoned by the same poison that he had drugged the other sects. The antidote was a precious commodity that shouldn't be easily seen by others, especially lowly disciples of the sect.
"Yes, sir."
The disciples left the room. Jiang Ning followed them out without saying a word.
Luo Qi and the butler remained in the study.
Chief, where is the antidote?" asked the butler. "We have to treat your poison immediately.”
His face was lined with worry and anxiety.
Luo Qi leaned back and pointed at his cabinet.
"There's a secret compartment behind the cabinet. Open it."
The butler hurried over to the cabinet, stuck his hands inside and started searching for the switch. He found something protruding from the wall, grabbed it and twisted. A series of loud clanks rang out.
The cabinet slowly shifted and revealed a secret compartment.
"It's inside. Take it out," said Luo Qi with a nod and a note of exhaustion in his voice.
The butler was quick to reply. "Yes, sir. I'll bring it over for you right this moment."
He reached out and pulled the lid open. Suddenly-
SWOOSH!
A shadowy streak darted out. Before the butler could do anything, an intense sting of pain erupted in his neck. He howled in pain, reached out instinctively and yanked. It was a venomous snake.
"Chief..."
The butler's face contorted in terror. A bout of dizziness came over him. The snake must be extremely poisonous!
Before he could say another word, his face took on the shade of a dark, toxic green. The blood in his body froze. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground and went still. The man was dead.
