"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 to accomplish 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 idea whether 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 the formula 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 living room and ask for Dr. Craw's help. Just say I'm the one who needs her help. I'll send the formula to Vivian.
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 tattoo on 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." Luke told 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's wheels 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 enemy now?"
Ray ignored him and ordered Hansen, "Take his pants off and see if there's a tattoo on his body. Be sure 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 it easily.
Ray knew at once when he heard the man's response. No matter how hard Hansen tried to find the tattoo 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's probably 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 trouble you 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 the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No. I just have to prepare the potion, right? Let's go. Bring me to the laboratory." Luca came back to her 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 her away. 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's hardly 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 at the 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 if they'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, Luca found 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 the formula. However, Luca was able to differentiate the medicines with just a glance. Besides, she could pour 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 took the 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. She remembered how much effort she had put in just to differentiate the medicines correctly and familiarize herself with them back then.
Not only did she have to remember the medicines' names but also the ingredients and functions of every 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 her hand 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 was used for. She was pretending that she did not know it. She wanted to know whether or not the man who broke 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 bad person. 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 through the 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 could not differentiate if it was under the front yard or the back yard.
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 of the cellar. It seemed like the man who broke into the house was locked behind this door. Têxt © .
The soundproof system here was good. There was no way anyone would be able to hear a sound on the 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 that man's body skin," Ray gave his orders.
