Old Popov smelled the medicine and fell ill with poisoning again, collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The group of people who were slumped on the ground felt strangely at ease when they saw how An Moxue treated Popov and his grandson. She had only used poison to appease them, without hitting or scolding them, and she hadn't even used such a potent poison, had she?
An Moxue looked at Popov, who had collapsed and was suffering from an attack, and said, "Really, you haven't had enough of the hardship yet. Well done, you two must persevere! Don't bow your heads and admit defeat, or I'll look down on you."
As she spoke, she continued to prick the grandmother and grandson with silver needles. After she finished, the grandmother and grandson were seen struggling weakly, their screams were even more chilling, and their struggles became even more violent.
The crowd on the ground was speechless. They had witnessed the most wretched state of the grandmother and grandson. Was there any future for them? Why didn't this female demon talk to them alone? Her methods of torture were chilling to behold.
After she finished, she ignored the grandfather and grandson and turned to the crowd on the ground, asking, "What are your thoughts?"
Someone reacted quickly, saying, "Miss, are you still hiring subordinates? I promise I'll do my best, I'll do exactly what you say, and I'll execute it flawlessly."
An Moxue smiled and said, "Sure! What I need most right now are people to help me, and you can never have too many people."
An Moxue walked up to him and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat anyone who works hard for me unfairly."
After saying that, she took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and put it into his mouth, saying, "This is the antidote, take it!"
He hadn't expected the surprise to come so suddenly and unexpectedly. He quickly swallowed the pill, and soon he was able to stand up.
Then, one after another, people began to express their surrender. An Moxue agreed to all of them, smiling even more happily. She then handed the porcelain bottle to the first man who surrendered and said, "Give the antidote to them!"
See, our ancestors were truly wise. They hid the poison in the antidote. They were really good at controlling people. As long as they didn't betray us, the poison wouldn't take effect. But once they betrayed us, just one dose of the antidote would activate it.
An Moxue dealt with Popov's men, then walked up to old Popov and looked at him with a smile.
Even if old Popov was unwilling to give up, he had to admit defeat, because he clearly felt that his body was not just poisoned, but that life was draining from his body. It was indescribable, just a feeling.
"Miss Giddo, I agree to your terms." After saying this, old Popov seemed to have used up all his strength, and he became even more listless.
"Are you sure that if you keep playing hard to get, there won't be a future for you?"
Although An Moxue said this with a smile, old Popov could still sense the murderous intent in her words.
"Sure."
“Alright.” An Moxue didn’t waste any words. After a few needle pricks, she detoxified him. Then she gave Anthony a few needle pricks as well. She said with schadenfreude, “Tsk tsk, how pitiful. How could he not hold on? Alright, call the doctor to treat his gunshot wound!”
Popov and his grandson both heard these words, and anyone could see the flicker in their eyes. An Moxue didn't care. "Come on, if you're so capable, let's see who suffers in the end."
"Hey you, come here for a second." An Moxue pointed to the first man who showed her kindness.
The man came over and said, "Miss Giddo, you can call me Freda."
"Freda, in a little while you and the Popov family's butler will go and transfer all the properties marked with a checkmark in this book to my name, and then bring them here."
An Moxue took out a pen, wrote down her basic information and address, handed it to Freda, and then said to all those who had submitted to her: "Don't think about being two-faced. Your poison has been cured today, but there is still another poison in your body. If you don't believe me, you can go see a doctor to see if it can be cured. Of course, if you work hard for me, you will never have an attack, but if it does, you will definitely regret it. Anyone is welcome to try."
This caused quite a stir in the crowd; some remained unchanged, while others' expressions changed.
An Moxue didn't mind and continued, "After the Popov family meeting in three days, I will rearrange things for you. For now, you will stay here and follow the Popov family's arrangements. Freda, compile a list of their basic information and give it to me tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss Giddens."
An Moxue took only a third of Popov's assets. She knew she couldn't push them into a corner, or they would fight to the death. The best option was to make them suffer so that they wouldn't dare to resist.
After arranging everything, An Moxue turned to look at Old Popov and asked, "Will the property transfer be completed today?"
Old Popov, enduring the pain of having his flesh cut off, said, "Yes."
An Moxue smiled and said, "That's good, then I'll wait."
After saying that, she left the old Popov family estate and rode her motorcycle away into the distance.
Old Popov watched An Moxue walk out of the manor, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He never imagined that the Popov family, which had lasted for hundreds of years, would be destroyed by his own hands. He was a sinner of the Popov family.
At this moment, only the grandfather and grandson were in the living room. He looked at his grandson lying on the sofa and said, "Anthony, hang in there, the doctor will be here soon."
Anthony's eyes were bloodshot. "Grandfather, I'm not reconciled."
Old Popov said in a low voice, "We're not reconciled, who would be? But we're not reconciled, and there's nothing we can do now! We can only leave it at that for now, and then find someone to help us find a solution."
Anthony voiced his doubts: "Um, Grandfather, what do you say?"
Old Anthony understood what he meant and said, "Although she denied it, it can't be ruled out. Who says she will always tell the truth?"
“Grandfather, then we must be even more careful in the future.”
"Yes, he took a third of our family's assets. The investigation on that was impossible without power. He even had our secret businesses. This Miss Jido is far more capable than we know. There are very few people who can match her skill in medicine."
"Grandfather, how are you feeling?" The grandfather and grandson had relied on each other for so many years, and their bond was still very strong.
"It's alright, Grandpa's fine. He'll be fine in a few more days. Don't talk, just rest. The doctor will come and remove the bullet soon. That Jido is really too ruthless. He doesn't act like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old at all; he's very experienced."
"Yes, I'll listen to my grandfather. We'll survive first, then plan for the future."
"Yes." The grandfather and grandson comforted each other, but both felt a pang of sympathy.
