Chapter 89: It Turns Out It Was A Documentary
Charlotte's collaboration with the merchant was equivalent to granting the agent authorization for the prescription.
He needed to carefully consider how to explain it to Diana and Roland.
The antidote to magic drug aversion would be used as a weapon. He had to strike the Jadeson family twice to avenge last night's raid.
For example, during the initial stage of building momentum, it would start in Calva to spread the reputation of the magic drug aversion more quickly and shake the morale of the Black Mage Guards...
A plan gradually formed in Charlotte's mind.
As the sky darkened, Charlotte went out to a converted storage room that served as a laboratory.
Holding an oil lamp, he approached a cage in the corner where two drug-addicted little white mice were banging against the walls. Fortunately, Charlotte had laid a layer of thick clothes in advance, so there was no harm done.
The other four little white mice, who had already taken the magic drug aversion, were cowering in the corner with a vigilant look, completely restored to their normal appearance.
Charlotte took out the magic drug and fed it to the two drug-addicted little white mice, temporarily stopping their self-harming behavior.
However, when the magic drug approached the remaining four little white mice, they immediately resisted and huddled in the corner. Two of them even started vomiting.
The magic drug aversion lived up to its name.
Charlotte put away the magic drug and carefully observed the six little white mice.
The two mice that initially took the prototype of the magic drug aversion showed signs of weakness due to their strong reaction during administration. However, they seemed normal in other aspects, with clear and lively eyes.
As for the two mice that took the improved version of the magic drug aversion, they showed no signs of ever being addicted to the drug. They looked the same as when Anna first caught them.
As for the other two mice still relying on the magic drug to alleviate their addiction, apart from the bald spots on their heads due to banging against the walls, their eyes were bloodshot. They trembled in Charlotte's hand, appearing exceptionally excited and fatigued.
The magic drug was overdrawing their bodies. Their excitement was mental, but their bodies were reaching their limits.
So far, the results of the magic drug aversion experiment were promising.
When Charlotte returned to the villa, Diana was sitting on the sofa in a red silk camisole. The dim light, the swaying red wine in the tall crystal glass, the high-slit skirt revealing her fair thighs, and the low-cut straps created an incredibly seductive atmosphere.
Charlotte kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, prepared to ignore it and go back to his room to sleep.
Women of Diana's caliber were clearly beyond his current grasp.
In comparison, Ruth was more innocent and cute. When he had time, he would still go to Amman Street to have some fun.
He had to maintain his image.
"Come over and have a drink with me." Diana's irresistible mature voice sounded, and her gaze at Charlotte's departing figure carried a hint of cunning.
Charlotte paused for a moment, then walked straight to the sofa. He sat down, leaning against Diana's leg, and took the wine glass from her hand to have a sip. He looked into her eyes and slowly leaned forward, wearing a mischievous smile. "Just one drink, is it enough?"
His warm breath brushed against her earlobe and neck, and his deep and magnetic voice sounded next to her ear, echoing in her mind. Diana stared at the handsome face less than ten centimeters away from her, and instinctively pulled her legs back slightly, almost wanting to escape.
Wait a minute!
Wasn't I the one flirting with him?
How did the situation suddenly reverse?
Diana was stunned for three seconds, caught off guard by Charlotte's sudden advance. She couldn't figure out what to do for a moment.
Thinking about his muscular physique beneath the torn clothes yesterday, his six-pack abs, and those unspeakable scenes in manga, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was like burning charcoal, making her feel a bit restless.
Then Diana lifted her leg and gave him a knee strike.
Unprepared, Charlotte was instantly sent flying to the other end of the five-meter-long sofa.
"Cough..."
Charlotte held his stomach, nearly out of breath from the knee strike. He looked at Diana innocently, saying, "Madam, what are you doing?"
"Who... who let you get so close to me?" Diana forced herself to remain calm, but now she sat up straight, adjusted her collar, and stopped showing off.
Charlotte leaned back on the sofa. Fortunately, his physical fitness improved a lot during this period. Apart from some soreness in his abs, there was no major harm. He turned his head and looked at Diana, asking, "We drank the wine, what's next?"
Diana suppressed her anger. She had originally planned to play with the little puppy, wanting to see how he would shyly dodge her advances. But Charlotte didn't follow the script at all. He drank the same wine she did and leaned close to her ear to speak, all in one smooth motion.
This wasn't a puppy, this was an expert!
In comparison, she, who gained knowledge in this area solely from books and manga, was the true puppy.
It seems that "My Years of Revelry on Amman Street" wasn't a fantasy manga, but a documentary.
As for Charlotte's lack of response to Agatha's seduction yesterday, it was probably because he was already accustomed to such seductive women and didn't pay them any attention.
But when faced with a beauty like her, with her stunning looks and captivating charm, Charlotte couldn't control himself.
Indeed, I am the most beautiful woman in the world.
"And then, we can discuss our cooperation," Diana resumed her aloof demeanor.
"Your magic drug aversion can collaborate with the Harriman family. With our strength and channels, we can quickly sell it throughout the Abyss and even beyond. We'll split the profits fifty-sixty."
"Six for me, four for you?" Charlotte casually replied.
"No, it's six for us, four for you," Diana shook her head, explaining, "Don't think this proportion is small. You only need to hand over the formula to us. Whether it's the production or sales of the potion, leave it to us. You just need to wait for the money."
Charlotte shook his head. It turned out the wine wasn't that good after all.
Seeing the unaffected man, Diana furrowed her brows slightly. After thinking for a while, she raised her voice a bit and said, "I'll make the decision. We split it fifty-fifty. Even Roland wouldn't promise you a higher proportion, right?"
Charlotte understood that Diana misunderstood and thought he had made a private deal with Roland.
A fifty-fifty split indeed seemed very sincere. After all, the Harriman family was an absolute behemoth in front of him.
However, the Harriman family's channels seemed unappealing to merchants, especially compared to the well-connected Duru family.
The Magic Drug Aversion was a lucrative opportunity, and there was no reason for Diana not to get a share of the pie.
"You misunderstood. I haven't made a private deal with Roland. However, I did entrust the sales of the Magic Drug Aversion to an elder whom I trust. He has good connections outside and is a person I rely on," Charlotte directly revealed his cards.
"I will make him cooperate with our plan to eliminate the Jardson family. I know that this is important for both of your families."
