Chapter 674

With a pale face, Fatty sighed. “Mr. Arnold, I-I didn’t mean to bring you any trouble. I’ve had this magical
artifact for over ten years and it can truly prolong one’s life. However, after strange things started to
happen in my family, I went to a divination master and he told me that my luck has been declining in
these few years because this magical artifact is incompatible with me. Therefore, I must sell this magical
artifact. By selling it, not only can I save my life, but I can also protect my luck. In conclusion, there’s
nothing wrong with this magical artifact and it’s my fate that’s the issue.”

Ambrose wasn’t too convinced by his explanation.

Matthew chuckled. “Fatty, the master that you sought is quite skillful. At least he was able to identify the
root cause of your problems, which is this magical artifact. However, it has nothing to do with luck!”

Fatty was surprised. “Since it’s related to this magical artifact, why isn’t it related to luck as well?”

Softly, Matthew asked, “Did you buy any ivories in the last three months?”

After pondering for a while, Fatty answered, “Yes, I bought a few ivory cups. What’s wrong with that?”

Matthew replied, “Think carefully. Did those accidents happen after you bought the ivory cups?”

Fatty gasped, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have linked these incidents! You’re right. Ever since I
brought those cups home, accidents have happened consecutively. Mr. Larson, do you mean that these
cups are the issue?”

Matthew shook his head. “There’s nothing wrong with the cups.”

Fatty asked, “So the magical artifact is indeed the issue?”



Matthew shook his head again. “There’s nothing wrong with the magical artifact either.”



Confused, Fatty asked, “What is the problem then?”

Matthew chuckled. “The problem arises when the cups and the magical artifact are placed together.”

Fatty widened his eyes. “Why?!”

Matthew explained, “The so-called magical artifact is actually not a magical artifact but a pill furnace,
which is specifically used to make pills. In ancient times, pill-making masters would make unconventional
medicines, so there’s a lingering presence of these medicines in the pill furnace. Under normal
situations, the residue in the pill furnace can cure numerous diseases and prolong one’s life. However,
the residue in this pill furnace is incompatible with ivory. If there are ivories at home, the residue of this
medicine will turn into a deadly poison, which will poison whoever used the ivory cup. Regardless of
which hospital you visit, no one can identify it, so one will end up dying of an unknown cause.”

Fatty gaped in shock while he asked in a trembling voice, “I-Is that true? Mr. Larson, is that true?”

Perplexed, Ambrose asked as well, “Mr. Larson, are you an expert in medicine?”

Crystal immediately replied, “Matthew is not only an expert in medicine, but the best doctor in the six
southern states! Have you heard of Leonard the Acupuncturist? Even he was defeated by Matthew, and
that’s why he treats Matthew with such deep reverence!”

Ambrose and Fatty exchanged a look. Before this, both of them didn’t understand why such a haughty
person like Leonard the Acupuncturist would treat a young man with great reverence.

But now, they finally understood!

Fatty was indeed clever so he immediately pleaded with Matthew, “Dr. Larson, please save me! I’ll give
you this pill furnace for free. On top of that, I’ll give you whatever amount of money you ask for. Please



save me and my pitiful son. H-His illness is even more severe than mine. I’m worried that he won’t be
able to hold on for long.”

Matthew nodded and said, “As I said, you’re sincere. Therefore, I won’t take your money and the fee for
curing your illness will be settled with the pill furnace. After I accept your fee, I’ll definitely save you and
your family.”

Fatty was overjoyed. At the same time, he finally understood what Matthew meant earlier.
