Chapter 586 As the equipment James had asked for was commonly used by doctors, they were all prepared in just

a few minutes. 

The staff handed the poison each party had concocted to the other. 

James took his portion. 

It was a transparent ceramic bottle. Some white powder was clumped inside. 

James opened the bottle and poured some onto his hand. Then, he gave it a cursory sniff. Seeing this, Jonathan

laughed. “Based on what we agreed on, we don’t have time to examine the poison. However, since there’s no cure

for my poison, I’ll give you some time to analyze it. Not like it’d make a difference in the competition’s outcome.” 

 

As he said that, he took out James’ poison. Without even looking at it, he handed it to Lucas. 

Lucas was a medicinal expert. He had been dealing with medicine for decades. All this while, he had been

researching herbs and experimenting on them. As his immunity to medicinal side effects was strong, no ordinary

poison could harm him. 

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Lucas swallowed the poison in one mouthful. 

James gave a small smile at this sight. 

Although the toxicity of the poison he concocted was not high and would not lead to catastrophic consequences in a

human’s body once taken, it was near impossible to neutralize

Upon consumption, the poison would instantly spread throughout the whole body. It would mix with the blood cells

and spread quickly through the organs. It would be impossible to release the toxins just by using silver needles or

techniques such as acupoint treatment. 

The only way to treat it would be to do a blood transfusion. 

After swallowing the poison, Lucas began feeling lightheaded. His vision swam with multiple images of Johnathan

standing to his left, right, and even in the air. “M-Mr. Harris, I think I’m hallucinating.” Lucas said. “Sit down. Don’t

move.” Jonathan ordered. Then, he took his pulse. While this was going on, James was still sniffing Jonathan’s

poison. As long as it was made of herbs, traces of their scent would remain. Even if the smell had blended and

undergone changes, it was still possible to identify a portion of the herbs used. 

 

As long as he knew the raw ingredients of the poison, he could create an antidote. 

What he discovered made him furrow his brows. 

He was unable to detect a single scent on the poison which meant he could not identify its raw ingredients. 

Since he could not create an antidote, he had to rely on other ways to release the toxins. 

He turned to look at Delilah behind him. 

Delilah’s face was pale. She was quivering in fear. “Are you ready?” James looked at her. 

“I…” Her teeth were chattering. 

– 

Although she had faith in James, it did not change the fact that they were dealing with deadly poison. The anxiety

created by the threat of death filled her with dread. 

James reached out and grabbed her wrist. He firmly assured her. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” 

Delilah could feel the strong grip of James’ arm. Hearing his confident reassurance, the fear in her heart dissipated.

She nodded firmly. “I’m ready.” Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, James grabbed a glass of water from the

table and poured the contents of the ceramic bottle into it. 

The moment the crystal-clear water came into contact with the white powder, it became murky. Gasp! Seeing this,

the reporters’ expressions darkened. Some among the crowd even stood up in fright. 

Delilah’s face was white as a sheet. 

“Mr. Caden, let’s just admit defeat.” Thea was anxious, 

James ignored her. He handed the glass of poison to Delilah. 

Delilah took it. However, her hands were shivering. She could not bring herself to drink it. 

Meanwhile, Jonathan was gritting his teeth in frustration. Although James’ poison was not deadly and would only

cause hallucinations, it was impossible to identify the cause of it. This meant Jonathan could only resort to his silver

needles to release the toxins.
