DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 139: Soul-hunting
Brennen questioned.
His words put wrinkles in Reed's brows.
Reed hated Brennen's being arrogant.
"How did you know that I had once bought an alchemy furnace?" Reed was puzzled.
A trace of impatience flashed across Brennen's face, "You just need to tell me where the alchemy furnace is!"
Reed's smile froze.
They trespassed into his house and questioned him in a rude manner. For all his good temper, he was provoked. Moreover, because of Amanda, Reed was in a bad mood.
He spat, "The alchemy furnace has nothing to do with you. If you don't leave now, I'll give you a piece of my mind!"
The Holmes family, one of the richest clans in City R, of course, had a lot of bodyguards in the villa.
Brennen's face darkened. Wherever he went, he was fawned, but now he was actually threatened. Immediately, a wave of pressure came down on Reed.
As for Reed, he couldn't help but shake under the terrible pressure. He almost knelt down.
Reed was shocked.
What was going on?
At this time, a woman behind Brennen spoke, "Brennen, why are you so fierce...."
The woman wore a plain white trench coat, roughly covering her curvaceous figure. She didn't look particularly beautiful, but she sent out an extraordinary aura. Brennen withdrew his energy, "Yana, you know I have a short fuse."
Yana rolled her eyes, then looked at Reed. She stated with an aloof tone, "Mr. Holmes, we came here just for the alchemy furnace. It is important to us, and I hope you can offer it to us. I promise, we'll give you enough redress."
Proud as Yana was, her words were not that unpleasant. Thus, Reed replied, "You guys are late. I've given it to my friend."
Yana frowned and asked, "Can you tell me who you gave it to? This alchemy furnace is really important to us."
Yana fixed her eyes on Reed.
It was for the alchemy furnace that she left the Pharmacy Pavilion and came to City R. Attending the exchange conference held by the secluded families was not that important for her.
She was determined to get the alchemy furnace and bring it back to the Pharmacy Pavilion.
Reed was somewhat unpleased, but he still put on a polite smile, "I'm sorry. I can't divulge my friend's information. Please leave now!"
As soon as Reed finished his words, Brennen's face darkened again. He spat, "Yana was polite enough. Don't be unappreciative!"
"What?" Reed's face darkened as well.
"If you don't tell us the whereabouts of the alchemy furnace, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"
Brennen spat as a wave of energy erupted from him again, enveloping Reed.
As a powerful man at Semi-Divinity Phase, Brennen only needed to exert a bit of his energy and Reed had lost his breath.
Reed realized that Brennen was a martial master.
"As a martial master, you only know how to bully others." Reed's face went pale.
He immediately pressed a button beside him.
"Mr. Holmes, what's wrong?"
A fit of footsteps came from outside. Then, a few burly men rushed in.
"Who are you? When did you come in?"
The burly men immediately questioned as they saw the several strangers.
The sturdy man in the lead was also a martial master. He was at the Masterstroke Phase of the Martial Art and was ready to step into the Would-be Virtuoso Phase.
As the head of the bodyguards, he was employed with a high price.
"Is that all?" A sneer of disdain touched Brennen's mouth.
"Today, I'll let you know what bully means!"
Brennen snorted. Then, he moved like a bolt of lightning. He flashed around the hall and then returned to where he started.
Only then did the bodyguards scream in pain.
Everyone flew backwards.
And when they fell on the ground, the screams stopped abruptly as they stayed motionless.
"What did you do to them?" Reed was dumbfounded, as well as frightened.
"Don't worry. They just fainted. But if you don't tell us where the alchemy furnace is, I can't guarantee what will happen to you...."
Brennen's sneer carried killing intent, causing Reed's scalp to go numb.
Yana frowned at Brennen's rudeness, but she did not say anything.
Reed's gaze towards Brennen was now filled with vigilance. The bodyguard he relied on, a powerful man at the Masterstroke Phase of the Martial Art, had actually been dealt with so easily. But no matter how powerful Brennen was, he still thought Jacob to be more terrifying.
Reed wouldn't betray his friends.
"I don't know where the alchemy furnace is." Reed gritted his teeth.
Brennen's face turned colder.
He turned to Yana, "Yana, I have expected it before setting off. So, I prepared a secret technique for him. Do you mind me using it?"
Yana naturally knew what secret technique he was talking about, but it would be really harmful to the target.
Yana looked at Reed and tried to persuade him, "Mr. Holmes, if you are willing to tell me about the alchemy furnace, I will still give you the same reward, though you have given it to your...."
But Reed interrupted her before she could finish her words, "I'm really sorry. Just now, when I called the bodyguards, I called the police, too. If you don't want to get into trouble, please leave now!" Hearing this, Yana closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, coldness filled her. She whispered, "Brennen, I'll leave it to you!" "Okay!"
Brennen replied.
Brennen got more excited as his smile turned wilder. He couldn't find a suitable target for this secret technique in the Pharmacy Pavilion. But today, he finally got a target to practice it. "What are you doing?"
An ominous presentment seized Reed.
"Soul-hunting!"
Brennen shouted at Reed as he slapped Reed's forehead. A surge of Zhen Qi rushed towards Reed's head.
This secret technique was incomplete. So, although it was said to be able to search through a man's soul, Brennen knew that it could not achieve the full effect. He estimated that he could only obtain a little useful information. Furthermore, it would cause great damage to Reed's brain.
Sure enough, an instant tremble ran down Reed's spine as his pupils dissipated. His face turned extremely pale.
After a few seconds.
Brennen suddenly withdrew his hand.
His face lit up.
"How is it? Have you got the news?" Yana looked at Reed, sighed, and then turned to Brennen.
Brennen was overjoyed, "The result is better than what I expected. I vaguely knew from his mind that the alchemy furnace was given to a person called Jacob, and then Jacob gave him three Resurrection Panaceas in return. It's a pity that there are too many flaws in this secret technique. I only got this information and didn't see an image...."
"Jacob, Resurrection Panacea...." Yana frowned as she murmured.
"Resurrection Panacea? Could it be ... could it be that legendary pill?" A wisp of excitement appeared on Yana's face.
"Search for it."
Yana immediately ordered.
Brennen and the other two guys nodded and began to search the Holmes villa.
Not long after, Brennen came over with a safe. Then, he circulated his Zhen Qi and directly tore the safe apart.
Inside, apart from some photos and toys, there was a small bottle.
Yana picked the bottle and pulled out the stopper. Immediately, an extremely fragrant medicinal fragrance greeted her.
Yana was both shocked and excited.
"The finest!"
As the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, she quickly came to a conclusion.
Yana took one pill out.
The pill was red, and there was a red glow within it.
"It's very similar to the legendary one." Yana cried out in shock.
"Resuscitation Panacea?" Brennen was dumbfounded. Even in the Pharmacy Pavilion, it was only a legend. How could it appear here?
"Whether it is or not, Jacob, who took away the alchemy furnace, is definitely not easy to handle. Could he be a disciple of those patriarchs?" Yana frowned slightly, "but eve those patriarchs don't have such power."
Then, she said to Brennen, "I have a premonition that we might meet Jacob at the Mount G Exchange Conference."
"Inform the Pharmacy Pavilion and ask them to send an elder who was at Divinity Phase to City R. If this pill really has something to do with Resuscitation Panacea, not only do we need the alchemy furnace, we are bound to obtain the formula for it!"0
