"Don't forget, there's still one hundred million dollars," Cao Yuanfang added.
"Alright, it's settled then. Here’s the elixir," Jin Jiangming said, tossing the pill to Cao Yuanfang.
Cao Yuanfang hurriedly reached out to catch it. Once he had the elixir in his hands, he cradled it carefully, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
Jin Jiangming merely shook his head, feeling reluctant but powerless.
Suddenly, a flash of light erupted, and the elixir in Cao Yuanfang's hand transformed into a fireball. Startled, Cao Yuanfang quickly threw the pill away, and it landed back in front of Jin Jiangming, returning to its original form.
As for Cao Yuanfang, he was engulfed in flames, turning into a fiery figure. Within seconds, he was reduced to ashes, which scattered in the breeze.
"Oh my God, he’s burned to death!" The Jin family members were thrown into chaos, screaming in shock. Cao Yuanfang's four subordinates nearly had their eyes pop out; within mere seconds, he had been turned to ash. Even if he were sent to a crematorium, it would take an hour to reduce him to ashes completely. But here, he was consumed by this mysterious fire in just moments—how terrifying!
"Don't make such a fuss; we didn't kill him. It has nothing to do with us," Jin Jiangming remained the calmest among them. With Cao Yuanfang dead, he felt completely liberated—no one was happier than him.
"You four have seen it; Cao Yuanfang's death has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, go find Mr. Jiang. He shouldn't be far; I'll send someone to call him back," Jin Jiangming said to Cao Yuanfang's subordinates.
These four were Chinese disciples that Cao Yuanfang had taken in abroad. He had no children, so his overseas inheritance would go to them. They exchanged glances and then left together in tacit agreement.
Given their courage, they wouldn’t dare confront Jiang Chen over this matter; it would simply end there as they hurried back to claim their inheritance.
With the four gone and Cao Yuanfang dead, Jin Jiangming finally felt a sense of relief.
He looked down at the Life-Extending Pill on the ground, hesitating to pick it up.
This elixir was too eerie; how could Cao Yuanfang have been burned alive as soon as he touched it? He himself had held it for a while without any harm.
"This Mr. Jiang is truly extraordinary; no wonder Miss Qin and Old Zeng treat him with such respect," Jin Jiangming mused, growing increasingly awed by Jiang Chen.
"Dad, we can't take this elixir; it's too sinister—it could kill people! Luckily you gave it to that old man; he became your scapegoat. I suspect Mr. Jiang intended to use the elixir to kill you," Jin Jiangming's eldest son said nervously.
Jin Jiangming fixed his gaze on the Life-Extending Pill on the ground, frowning deeply. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and replied, "You’re underestimating Mr. Jiang... If he wanted me dead, he would have acted already; he wouldn't go through all this trouble."
Having lived for over seventy years and weathered many storms, Jin Jiangming had some confidence in his judgment. From Jiang Chen's earlier demeanor and speech, he sensed that Jiang Chen was an extremely confident and straightforward person. If he wanted someone dead, he would disdain using indirect or subtle methods; there was no need for that.
So there was only one possibility: this elixir was indeed remarkable. Mr. Jiang gave it to him; others could not take it. Cao Yuanfang took it—and thus perished.
Jin Jiangming's expression suddenly turned serious. If his guess was correct, then this Life-Extending Pill must truly be extraordinary.
