Chapter 321: Chapter 320 - Large Chicken
"She's very sick."
"…" William looked at Delmar in the dead of the night and wondered whether he was truly sane or has the great amount of caffeine had made him crazy.
"I don't know why you are saying it like it's a matter to be celebrated but… do you need some help, Delmar?" William asked, genuinely concerned for his overworked manager.
"What?... No!" Delmar shook his head, "At least I don't think I need any." He said as he thought about it seriously. Then he shook his head as he got back to the topic, "NO! no, That's not what I meant. What I am trying to tell you is that, we have a great opportunity over here, that we need to take advantage as quickly as we can."
"What are you talking about?" William said as he took another sip of his strong coffee.
Delmar turned back to the screen and typed something as a video started playing.
It was inside what looked like a huge white lab, a lot of patients were being treated by scientists who wore white lab coats and masks that covered them completely as they injected and treated the patients.
There was no sound in the video but the video feed looked like it was from a wall camera, so he was able to see mostly everything.
William didn't ask Delmar any question as he looked at the screen and saw what happened next. The patients who were calm for the time being started to cough loudly as the scientists tried to see the problem. Before they could even fully check them the patients suddenly start to vomit blood and coughed even louder.
The scientists then started to work even faster but the patient's conditions became worse quickly as they fell on the floor and spasmed violently. The Scientists tried to help them but many quickly stopped moving as it seemed that they had died.
Some still survived but their condition was not very good. As the video started playing, the door to the lab suddenly banged open and a person ran inside. William leaned in slightly as he recognized the man was Keith Grimes.
Keith took one look at what was happening before running towards a specific direction as a young girl was shown coughing violently as well but still surviving. He immediately asked the others for help but they shook their heads as he looked around before taking his daughter and running away from there.
The video stopped as Delmar said to him, "And that was the feed of him, taking his daughter and hiding her in some place and treating her to some known doctor of his."
William understood something as he said, "His daughter should have had quite the physic to still be alive, even with such worse conditions."
"But she is very sick and her conditions so that the doctors who look on her think that she won't live for long." Delmar said.
William nodded before a question popped up in his head as he asked, "Delmar, How did you get this information anyway?"
"Well the village that they were secretly hiding away was not so secure with its people. I just had to nudge someone with some paper and I was able to get them to squeal everything about them."
"Hmm," William thought, "With him now about to be freed, if anyone had some grudges or wanted to do something to him they might go after his family."
"Yes, they would." Delmar nodded and smiled darkly, "And that guy had a looot of enemies from what I heard about him."
"Hmm… Alright so what is this about his daughter being sick."
"Well simple plan, We just get his daughter the correct medicine that she needs and then we can get Keith to join us."
"And what is the medicine?"
"Not that is where it gets complicated," Delmar said as he typed something as the TV changed to show a photo of what looked like a large chicken. The large chicken was standing on two legs and its eyes were menacing as it stood proudly while showing off its superior muscles and strength.
William didn't know whether to laugh or be stupefied by this photo as he asked, "Is that a large chicken?"
Delmar nodded, "Not just that but also the super rare, Violent Volcano Chicken."
"And why am I looking at a large chicken?"
"Because this is the medicine." Delmar pointed as the screen started to zoom in on the chicken as it showed it's rapidly beating heart. The heart had the same appearance of a human heart but was a tad bit bigger than it.
"We need its heart. Its heart itself is a great regenerative factor that can quickly cure most diseases and the scientists think that it is the only thing that will help her be completely cured."

"We just need to transplant this heart in her?" William asked with slight disgust. He didn't like the thought of transplanting a chicken's heart to a human. But what is necessary must be done.
"Yes and the job will be done… I hope." Delmar said hopefully as neither he nor the doctors were completely sure of this method.
"So why haven't they tried it before?" William asked.
"Because the chicken itself is as I said before, quite rare to find. It was a common beast before but after knowing about it, large pharmaceuticals and other people quickly captured them and almost finished off their population."
"It's so bad that a Violent Volcano Chicken hasn't been sighted in many years."
"But you found a way, right?" William asked him hopefully.
Delmar went quiet, "No… not yet I haven't." William sighed hearing that as Delmar quickly responded, "But I am sure that one of the big pharmaceuticals or someone else might have it, most likely the black market. We just have to look for it hard enough."
William nodded to his words before he remembered something as he murmured, "Maybe it might have it."
"What did you say?"
"Oh! Nothing, just thinking about myself." William shook off Delmar's question and stood up, "Alright then, try to find the heart of the large chicken and tell me when you have the good news."
"Alright boss."
"In the meantime, I am going to go and count sheep's while sleeping."
...
William was back in his bedroom as he sat on the large bed and looked at Clawdia. He confirmed that she was still asleep so he quietly spoke to not wake her up.
"Anne, you heard what he said right?"
'Oh!... you finally remember me then?'
William furrowed his brows at her antics. He then said with importance, "Come on, don't be like that. You heard how important it is for me."
Anne went quiet for a while before giving a fake sigh and said, 'Fine… How many have I helped for no reason but for the good of humanity.'
William raised his brows again but didn't say anything.
'Okay, searching for the item… searching… searching… GOT IT!'
William immediately brightened up as he saw the system shop open up.

He smiled darkly.
'It is good to be rich.'
