Chapter 446: The Golden Lust Poison
“Watson, if you say you can do it, show us how you made that potion. Do not worry. I will assist you in paying for the materials required for that potion, whatever it may be.”

When Augustus heard Watson’s promise, his expression became increasingly sinister.

He was afraid that if Watson disagreed, he would face King Landhar III’s punishment. Regardless of who it was, forcing Watson to develop a difficult-to-achieve potion would be a difficult task. Watson was also the kingdom’s strongest genius. Even if King Landhar III imprisoned Watson, he might be released after a while.

It would have been different if Watson had made the promise in front of so many people. Watson could not go back on his word. If he broke his word, it would be a slap in the face to both himself and King Landhar III. King Landhar III might increase the punishment in his rage, and Watson’s penalty might even change from imprisonment to death.

Augustus also had another reason—let Watson develop the potion on the spot, avoiding the possibility of Watson seeking assistance from others. In other words, he had effectively blocked Watson’s only exit.

“Are you certain, Augustus, that you want to bear the entire cost of my refining the potion?”

To Augustus’ surprise, Watson remained expressionless after hearing his words. Instead, he made a strange expression as he spoke.

His heart thumped as a result of that reaction. He had a nagging feeling something terrible was going to happen to him. However, because he had already said it, there was no turning back. All he could do was straighten his back and nod. “That is right. I will cover the costs! I am a Campbell. I can afford a single potion. However, I advise you not to play tricks and deliberately obtain some difficult-to-find herbs to delay time.”

Even if Watson purposefully raised the potion price, he could still bear the exorbitant cost. At most, he could get those medicinal herbs and sell them. However, if Watson were unable to produce the potion, he would perish.

“My request is simple. I will not purposefully make things difficult for Young Master Augustus by asking for rare medicinal herbs! I am only interested in one ingredient, and that is gold coins. I will need about ten billion gold coins to create a potion that will increase the Dragon Clan’s fertility rate.” Watson gestured with his fingers.

“Ten billion gold coins? Watson, are you serious?” Augustus’ face darkened.

He had never heard of a potion that cost so much money. In addition, what potion was made with gold coins? Watson stated that all he needed was gold coins. Did he want to turn gold coins into potions? Watson must have been purposefully making things difficult for him.

The others also shook their heads. When they learned that Watson could concoct a potion, they had high hopes. After all, Watson was the strongest genius in the kingdom, so it was not surprising that he could deliver some outstanding performances, but their hopes were dashed. Even if Augustus could produce ten billion gold coins, Watson would not be able to convert the money into a potion.

Even if Watson melted a large number of gold coins to make the potion, who would dare to drink it?

Even Rose and Stella could not help but shake their heads at that point.

“I know a few potions that can boost fertility, but they only work on humans and have negligible effects. They can’t possibly work on dragons. What are our options?” Rose muttered angrily.

Watson did not blame her for losing the Blessings of the Gods and Demons potion. He gave her the formula instead. Rose had regarded Watson as her benefactor. She also saw hope in the formula Watson gave her. If Watson was imprisoned, she could no longer produce the same potion as the formula required water from the Spring of Life. The formula would be useless in her hands.
