Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 526 - 463: The Immortal Woman

The crowd opened up a pathway, and the elder of the Gu Family was invited into the boss’s room.

The elder of the Gu Family took Pan Family’s elder’s arm and checked it. In just an instant, his face changed dramatically, and he quickly felt Pan Family’s elder’s breath.

No breath!

Is this a coma?

"The boss has been gone for a while now. Pan Zi, you shouldn’t have started by catching the traitor; you should have saved the boss first!" The elder of the Gu Family put on a heartbroken and anguished expression.

As the elder of the Gu Family turned around, Pan Zi hid the smile at the corner of his lips, pretending to be shocked, and threw himself in front of Pan Family’s elder’s corpse, "Big brother... please wake up... it’s all my fault as a brother; I didn’t protect you well..."

While Pan Zi was blaming himself in remorse, the elder of the Gu Family checked the pulses of others who were poisoned, one by one.

Except for Pingting, everyone else was dead.

"And you say the little madam has no problem? How come everyone else is dead while she’s all right?" Xiao Er’s wife saw an opportunity to interject.

Pan Zi wiped nonexistent tears with his sleeve and said, "The little madam eats little, so naturally she ate less, and the poisoning wasn’t as deep. Brother Gu, please check if the little madam can still be saved?"

The elder of the Gu Family gave Pan Zi a discreet glance; being experienced and astute, he understood everything at this moment.

But it’s fine like this; he couldn’t bring himself to kill Pan Family’s elder, but he can deal with Pan Zi, the one who killed his brother to seize power, without holding back.

The elder of the Gu Family aimed at the philtrum and pricked Pingting with a needle, waking her up.

"The silver needle didn’t change color, proving it’s not poison affecting Madam Pingting, just a common sedative."

The elder of the Gu Family turned back, opened Pan Family’s elder’s mouth, pricked his tongue with the silver needle, and the needle instantly turned black.

"It’s aconite; someone poured aconite juice on him after the boss fell unconscious!" The elder of the Gu Family shot his eagle-like eyes at Pan Zi, the meaning clear without words.

"Elder Gu, what do you mean by this? Are you accusing me?" Pan Zi pretended to be calm.

"The aconite in the camp has always been under your care, nobody else could touch it, if not you then who?

If you feel wrongly accused, then bring out the aconite juice, we’ll all check if there’s any missing." The elder of the Gu Family pressed closer step by step.

Pan Zi panicked, "A few days ago we went down the mountain, didn’t we paint every knife with aconite juice? There wasn’t much to begin with, we’ve divided it, how can there be any left!"

"Are you talking about the day we robbed for pork? I didn’t coat my knife that day; if I did, the kid would have died long ago, there’s no way he’d still be able to run!" Ma San smirked.

"I didn’t coat mine either, Uncle Pan Zi, who got aconite from you?" The young bandit sneered.

Pan Zi stammered, "Too many came for the aconite, it was chaotic, how could I remember every single one, anyway the aconite juice in my hand was finished that day."

"After the boss fell unconscious, there was only you on site, with the aconite juice in hand, if not you then who?" Old lady Wang decided to join the father and son from the Gu Family in pressing Pan Zi.

"Damn it, you’re talking nonsense, the boss is my cousin, whoever harms him, I wouldn’t harm him!" Pan Zi didn’t expect his seemingly flawless act to unravel so quickly.

"Indeed the boss was drugged after having breakfast, but the aconite poison was administered after he was unconscious. Everyone look here..."

The elder of the Gu Family pointed to the finger marks on Pan Family’s elder’s jaw, showing everyone.

"The toxin in the aconite first paralyzes the nerves, then the poisoned person’s heartbeat slows, followed by numbness, then accelerated heartbeat, mental confusion, fainting, and ultimately dying.

Because the unconscious person can’t swallow, the aconite juice in the mouth gradually penetrates, which is why you delayed, unwilling to treat the boss first!" The elder of the Gu Family angrily pointed at Pan Zi.

Pan Zi’s knees weakened, stepping back, "How does elder of the Gu Family know? Why?"

He thought he’d done everything perfectly in secret, how did the elder of the Gu Family seem to have seen everything with his own eyes?

Could it be because of Pingting?

Pan Zi regretted immensely at this moment; he shouldn’t have coveted Pingting’s beauty and spared her life, otherwise the elder of the Gu Family probably wouldn’t have caught him.

He’s confused, once he becomes the boss, couldn’t he have any woman he wanted?

"Brother Gu, I commend you!" Pan Zi cupped his fists, surprisingly admitting openly.

"You killed your cousin, you’re worse than a beast!" The elder of the Gu Family feigned anger.

Pan Zi gave a nonchalant smile, "Brother Gu’s talent surpasses my cousin’s; this Wuyuan Mountain is originally a barren stone mountain, how could we brothers know such a trick as coating the knives with aconite juice, if not for Brother Gu’s teaching.

Later, the people who ascended the mountain, weren’t they all coming for you, Gu Mingfeng? Brother Gu, don’t tell me you’re willing to be subordinate?

If you ask me, starting from today, Brother Gu, you are the boss of the camp, I am convinced with you as the boss." He thought being second in command wouldn’t be bad either.

The elder of the Gu Family sneered coldly, among bandits, there are those with brute strength but not brains, but someone this stupid, he’s seeing for the first time.

"You killed your brother to seize the position, yet want to remain safe and sound, you should ask the brothers present here, do they agree?"

"Though we’re bandits, we most value justice and honor. Pan Zi can even kill his own cousin, such a person, we dare not keep him on the mountain." Ma San added fuel to the fire.

"That’s right, the boss and second boss treated him like a dear brother, were not stingy towards him, but he repays kindness with betrayal, who can trust him?" Xiao Er’s wife sneered.

"Kill him, avenge the boss!"

"Yes, kill him... kill him..."

The crowd echoed in unison.

Pan Zi was utterly terrified, "Our Pan Family has only us three brothers left. If I die, the Pan Family will be extinguished for good. Brother Gu, for my big brother and second brother’s sake, spare me, let me go down the mountain?"

Pan Zi no longer cares about being second in command, he only wants to live.

The elder of the Gu Family wouldn’t let Pan Zi get away, even if he did, the other brothers in the camp wouldn’t agree!

The crowd surrounded Pan Zi, driving him step by step toward his doom. Pan Zi’s broadsword was left outside, not carried by him, and soon he was stabbed to death by them one after another.

The young bandit thought the matter of seizing the position needed a few more days of careful plotting, but unexpectedly, the situation turned swiftly, his father was easily pushed into the position of the boss.

He also fulfilled his wish of becoming the Young Master of the camp.

It’s the Goddess of Luck, she must be helping him in secret, otherwise it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

As the others discussed the matters of the Pan Family’s brothers, the young bandit sprinted towards the back courtyard.

Wondering if the Immortal is still there, his three wishes are yet to be granted!
