The Man’s Decree

Even Maxence shook his head at Jared’s antics.

With a sigh of affection, Hartwin.commented, “Such a promising individual! It’s a shame he does not know how to be more discreet.”

Hartwin could tell that Jared was naturally gifted. It was such a pity that he was so pretentious. Such talent, utterly wasted!

Viola and Sigurd were visibly anxious. When they saw Jared hop off the vehicle, they both rushed over to greet him.

If anyone dared to lay a hand on Jared, they were prepared to risk their lives to protect him.

“Mr. Chance, don’t you think you should check further?” Wyatt asked.

“I’ve already done all the checks. I’ve identified the cause of the illness. There’s no need for further examinations.” Jared replied with a smile.

“You’ve found the cause of the illness so quickly?” Wyatt asked in disbelief.

In just a few moments, Jared had already figured out the cause of the illness.

“President Chance, as a alchemist yourself, you should understand that time does not matter when it comes to diagnosing an illness. The more confident you are about the diagnosis, the more confident you will be about the cure!” Jared exclaimed.

“Yes, you’re right!” Wyatt nodded in agreement.. “Do you need my assistance? I brought quite a few magical herbs with me for the Alchemist Fair. If you need them for your alchemy, I’ll gladly give them to you!”

“Thank you, President Chance,” Jared replied, “but I have enough of my own. There is no need for more. All I require is a quiet place where I can work on the alchemy.”

“Of course!” Wyatt said. Then, he turned to Thaddeus. “President Surrey, I hope you can spare the alchemy room at your Alchemist Guild for Mr. Chance.”

“No problem at all.” Thaddeus nodded in agreement.

Upon witnessing Jared’s confidence at his diagnosis, Bernard asked, “Jared, what exactly is the cause of my son’s illness? Over a dozen alchemists have examined him and yet none could provide a clear explanation.”

“Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I can’t disclose that to you now. Once your son has been healed, I’ll explain everything.”

Jared was keeping Bernard in suspense by refusing to reveal the diagnosis.

Bernard was taken aback by Jared’s answer, but he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll be waiting then…”

“Jared, are you really sure about this?” Viola asked in a concerned voice.

“Don’t worry,” he said reassuringly. “Just wait for me here. I’ll never do anything that I’m not ‘ certain of!”

Jared gently caressed Viola’s head.

Wyatt brought Jared to the Epean Alchemist Guild’s alchemy room.

Once the heavy iron doors of the alchemy room were shut, Jared’s alchemy work was effectively concealed from the prying eyes of outsiders.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, the process of concocting potions was a secret every alchemist held close to themselves.

Inside the alchemy room, Jared summoned the Divine Cauldron and readied himself to begin concocting the elixir.

“Kid, I can tell you that this guy isn’t possessed by any demonic spirit. His violent, bloodthirsty behavior isn’t caused by any evil entity,” the Vermilion Demon Lord said to Jared.

The Vermilion Demon Lord could not diagnose illnesses nor did he have any alchemy knowledge. However, he was capable of detecting whether there was a demonic spirit within Cedric’s body.

Some people, when possessed by a demonic spirit, would suddenly become wildly aggressive and bloodthirsty, completely transforming their demeanor.

“Of course I know that. If it was merely a case of demonic possession, it wouldn’t have taken so many years for someone to see through it!” Jared replied with a smirk.

“So, can you tell me what’s really wrong with him?” the Vermilion Demon Lord asked in curiosity.

What kind of disease could cause a person to suddenly wake up and become manic and bloodthirsty?

“Mental illness…” Jared said simply.

“Mental illness?” The Vermilion Demon Lord was surprised by his answer. “What do you mean?”

“There’s nothing much to it. It’s just all mental. Cedric isn’t physically ill, but he’s suffering from psychological problems. He was tormented by inner demons which caused a mental disorder. As a result, he would sometimes be lucid, and at other times, he would become violent and bloodthirsty. This condition is also known as ‘intermittent mental illness’,” Jared explained.
