Chapter 351: Chapter 109 Treatment of Golden Eyes

Actually, on the way back, Golden Eyes had already begun to show withdrawal symptoms, and he looked to be in very poor condition.

But having witnessed firsthand the various magical methods of the Double Rest Sect, Golden Eyes never doubted Li Yu’s promise and believed he would quickly recover upon arriving at Green Field.

It was this belief that supported him all the way here.

However, to his surprise, upon seeing him, Li Yu showed no intention of treating his illness or dispelling the curse; instead, he ordered people to take him to this small courtyard, intending to imprison him.

Feeling deceived, Golden Eyes was both shocked and angry and wanted to resist, but due to the acute withdrawal, he couldn’t muster even thirty percent of his martial arts skills.

He was quickly overpowered by a group of fierce Lizardman Warriors, pinned to the ground, and shackled, no matter how much he cursed, it was to no avail.

Li Yu only gave him a hasty glance in the middle of the night and then disappeared, leaving him here to continue suffering.

Golden Eyes tasted the bitterness of betrayal, and the intense agony made him consider ending his own life at one point.

Without family or friends, the only thing keeping him alive was hatred, hatred towards Li Yu.

Golden Eyes no longer cared about his own life or death; he only wanted to kill the Prophet of the Double Rest Sect before his dying breath.

Li Yu just stood quietly at the doorway, listening to Golden Eyes curse him for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Unfortunately, the native level of cursing on the Bratis Continent was far behind that of some ancient country in the East.

The same few fierce phrases were repeated, with no originality.

After Golden Eyes had vented enough, Li Yu finally spoke, "Are you done cursing?"

"No, I’m going to rip off your head and stick it on a..."

"Stick it on a spear, I know, you’ve emphasized that many times already." Li Yu brought over a small stool and sat down in front of Golden Eyes.

Somehow mustering strength from nowhere, Golden Eyes suddenly stood up from the ground and roared as he lunged at Li Yu, yet his arm stopped half a step away from Li Yu.

Golden Eyes’s arm was fully extended, and the iron chain behind him was taut. His forehead bulged with veins, and his eyes appeared as though they were about to pop out of their sockets.

Unfortunately, his fingers just couldn’t touch the bastard on the other side.

Li Yu said, "I suggest you save your energy. I know the length of the chain, and I’ve used this set to trap the Black Dragon before. Or do you think your strength is greater than that of the Dragon?"

Golden Eyes panted heavily, "I... I will bite off your flesh piece by piece."

"I fully understand your position now, so isn’t it about time you listened to what I have to say?"

After saying that, Li Yu waited a bit, and this time Golden Eyes finally stopped the abusive tirade, just staring at him intently, as if trying to kill him with his gaze.

"First of all, I want to thank you again for the help you provided during this rescue mission," Li Yu said.

"Just as the girl who took care of you said, without your help, Mary might still be in Hirodod’s clutches, and Tom and the others might already be dead in Duolin City."

"That’s because I didn’t know you were a liar at the time," Golden Eyes said bitterly.

"Can you let me finish speaking before you interrupt?"

Golden Eyes wanted to curse a few more times, but the words choked back at his lips.

Even though the skills of this Prophet from the Double Rest Sect were nothing special, not even comparable with his, and possibly not even a match for an ordinary person, once the Prophet became serious, the aura he emitted created an inexplicable sense of oppression in Golden Eyes.

For an instant, Golden Eyes even thought that the person sitting before him was Hirodod, not Li Yu.

This change was something Zhang Yanlin and Wang Guowei had also experienced; both felt that Li Yu’s temperament had undergone some changes, but couldn’t quite put their fingers on what the changes were.

Zhang Yanlin felt that Li Yu was increasingly resembling a leader, while Wang Guowei sensed an ever-growing air of mystery about him.

Anyway, as the founder of the Double Rest Sect and the Saturday’s spokesperson in the mortal world, the current Li Yu was indeed becoming more suited to this identity.

Seeing that Golden Eyes had finally shut up, Li Yu continued, "However, you are also Mary’s kidnapper, and you once attempted to kidnap me. Your accomplice has stained his hands with the blood of the warriors of the Double Rest Sect. So... this time, your actions can at most make your merits offset your demerits."

"If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why look for such a reason?" Golden Eyes said coldly.

"I didn’t say I wanted to kill you. On the contrary, I’ve always been treating you," Li Yu said. "Saturday taught us that a person’s momentary loss does not mean they will be lost forever."

"It’s exactly because I believed such nonsense that I was deceived."

"I know you are currently immersed in pain. I need to know your endurance to pain to formulate a subsequent treatment plan."

"No, you’re lying. You have no solution to my pain," Golden Eyes’ expression became excited again, and his body began to twitch, "Otherwise, you wouldn’t have locked me up here; you would have given me the antidote."

This time, Li Yu did not make any more excuses, but simply took a paper package from his body and handed it to Golden Eyes.

Golden Eyes’ eyes flashed with suspicion, "What is this?"

"The medicine you’ve been longing for. You can take it first, and then we can talk," said Li Yu.

Golden Eyes did not trust Li Yu, but his pain was so intense that he couldn’t let go of even the slightest hope. Without any hesitation, he immediately snatched the paper package.

Without tearing it open, he threw it all into his mouth, chewed twice, and felt a bitter taste, but then still tilted his head back and swallowed it down.

After a while, Golden Eyes felt that the overwhelming sensation in his heart seemed to have lessened, and the muscle spasms stopped. He could still feel the pain, but it was not as intense as before.

But his gaze toward Li Yu became even more sinister, "You clearly have medicine on you. Why didn’t you give it to me? Is it to avenge my previous kidnapping of you?"

"Like I said, I wanted to see how much endurance you have, in order to formulate a subsequent treatment plan," Li Yu replied.

"The disease you have, although curable, is not so easily cured. The medicine I gave you is not for curing the disease, but to alleviate the pain when you are having symptoms. To be cured, the key is your own willpower."

"My... willpower?"

"Yes. I hope that when the pain comes, you can endure it as much as possible, and only take the medicine I gave you when you really cannot stand it anymore."

For someone like Golden Eyes, who has a high level of addiction, adopting a substitution therapy would be more prudent, using Methadone, which is less toxic, to replace what he had been consuming before.

However, Li Yu didn’t have Methadone, a drug with its own addictive qualities which is stringently controlled in our country. It would be difficult for an ordinary person like Li Yu to obtain it. But if it’s just for relieving withdrawal symptoms, there are other options available, like the anti-hypertensive medicine Li Yu had just given to Golden Eyes.
