I work as a sorcerer in the US, and my side hustle is building Gundams.

DeShawn and Darnell both widened their eyes in surprise!

Mike sighed and lowered his head, rubbing his face with both hands.

Elena's face turned deathly pale:

"What did you say? He poisoned me?"

"The symptoms of thallium poisoning are exactly the same as yours—nausea, hair loss, neuralgia, and skin bruising."

When the skill "General Practitioner Lv2" was activated, various related medical knowledge appeared in Lynn's mind like a revolving lantern.

"You went to three hospitals and they couldn't find anything because thallium poisoning is so rare that even highly professional doctors wouldn't consider that possibility, let alone community doctors who are just trying to fool people..."

Your ex-boyfriend—or rather, someone he knows who understands chemistry—clearly knows how to get his hands on this stuff.

He paused, then continued his analysis for her:

"He came to see you last week just to check if you had been poisoned, or to figure out when you would be poisoned."

"No, no, Derek, he... he may be bad, but he's not the kind of person who would poison someone!"

Elena's body began to tremble violently. She reached for the bottle of green liquid on the coffee table, her hand shaking so badly she almost dropped it.

"Hey, ma'am, you're so naive. That Mother Fuxk isn't as kind as you think. Our boss is a powerful psychic healer; if he says it's true, it's true!"

Daniel, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and, in his heavy black accent, shattered the last remaining illusion that the scumbag had in Elena's heart.

"Alright, alright, I believe you, witch doctor. After all, I'm in this state and you're the only one I can trust... But this stuff... this really can cure my thallium poisoning?"

"Yes, my antidote can cure all poisons."

Lynn nodded confidently.

"If you drink it, all the toxins in your body will be neutralized."

But you need to act quickly. You've already dragged this out for two months; if this had continued, you would have died in a week.

Elena shuddered again in fright, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she pulled out the cork, pinched her nose, tilted her head back, and gulped down the dark green liquid.

The stuff clearly didn't taste very good; after drinking it, she gagged twice and choked on her drink, tears welling up in her eyes.

But a few seconds later, her expression completely changed!

That nausea that lasted for two months felt like a hand slowly letting go of my stomach.

Her breathing became easier, and the numbness in her fingers subsided!

"vomit!"

Suddenly, a wave of nausea surged up, and without caring that she was still in a clean room, Elena bent over and began to vomit violently!

Seeing her reaction, Lynn felt much better.

After all, I saved someone's life. If I really did accumulate merit, shouldn't I be seeing the "Merit +1" number constantly jumping around me right now?

Although the antidote can only detoxify and cannot repair the organ damage that has already occurred, Elena still needs to go to the hospital for follow-up treatment.

But at least the poison has been cleared, so she won't die.

"How are you feeling?"

Mike went to the bathroom, grabbed a towel, handed it to her, and asked softly.

"I'm feeling better..."

Elena took the towel, wiped her mouth, touched her throat in disbelief, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on her face!

"I feel much better, Mr. Lynn. What... what kind of medicine is this? It's so effective!"

"I concocted an antidote using witchcraft."

Lynn stood up and stretched his legs, which had gone numb from squatting.

"The problem now is that your ex-boyfriend is still at large. Since he failed to poison you, he might try other methods later, so you are not completely out of danger."

He suddenly thought that he could open up another business and use his skills and these few underlings to make another sum of money that he could do to uphold justice and earn with a clear conscience.

"Miss Vasquez..."

"Just call me Elena."

"Okay, Miss Elena, have you thought about getting revenge on him properly? And while you're at it... permanently eliminating any future threat he might pose to you?"

"I...I want to! That damn scumbag, I really want to get my revenge on him right now, so that he'll never have the thought of hurting me again, but...I, I don't know how to do it..."

"If you're willing to pay more..."

Lynn looked at Mike, who subtly gestured a hand to him.

"If you're willing to pay an extra $500, I can provide additional services to handle all your problems. Do you have his contact information?"

"Huh? $500..."

Elena bit her lower lip; this amount was already quite a strain for her, as she was currently unemployed and in dire straits.

But she eventually nodded and then pulled out Derek's phone number and address from her phone.

Lynn glanced at the address—Derek lived in an apartment in the south of the city.

"DeSean, Daniel, you two stay here with her and don't let anyone in. Mike, you're coming with me."

Mike stood up:

"Where to?"

"Go find that bastard who poisoned us."

……

Forty minutes later, Lynn and Mike stood at the door of Derek's apartment.

Derek was a white man in his mid-thirties, blond, with a muscular build, who looked like the kind of person who spent a lot of time at the gym.

When he opened the door, he was holding a can of beer, and his expression changed from confusion to wariness.

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

Lynn didn't waste any words with him, and simply pushed the door open and went in. Mike followed behind and closed the door behind him.

"You fucking—"

Just as Derek was about to explode, Lynn turned around and stared straight at his face.

The system displayed a message.

[The evil orc Derek Colt, 36 years old, has just spent $2,000 on a second dose of thallium salts on the dark web to get revenge on his ex-girlfriend Elena. He plans to visit her again tonight, ostensibly to bring her a bottle of wine, but in reality, poison her once more. This fickle and vicious man has a new girlfriend—an HR representative at Elena's company—and the two are plotting to kill Elena and then collect $330,000 from her company's life insurance policy.]

Lynn's pupils contracted slightly.

Not only was it revenge, this guy was also trying to swindle Elena's insurance money!

That's a life insurance policy worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars!

If Elena dies, the insurance company will naturally pay the compensation to her family.

But what if Derek, as the "ex-boyfriend," could forge a will...?

That utterly despicable scumbag!

Lynn frowned, a wave of nausea rising up and almost making him vomit.

"And tonight, you are to poison Elena again."

Facing the opponent's raised fist, Lynn spoke calmly.

"Thallium salt, mixed into the gift you're giving him as a visit, a bottle of red wine."

Derek's face changed color instantly!
