The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 625 Mr. Ywain’s Past

“I ask that you do not laugh at me.” Mr. Ywain smiled. “The Adelmar Clan’s knowledge about medicine is incredible. Everyone would kill to get their hands on it. The books I stole were the ones they discarded, so technically, I didn’t steal.”

“There are books they’d discard?” Adam thought that was implausible.

“Give me a minute.” Mr. Ywain went to the inner room and came back out with a bag. He opened it up and revealed a few ancient, half-burned tomes.

“What are these?”

“The books I stole,” said Mr. Ywain. “Robert didn’t like these books, since they contain subpar recipes. He thinks keeping them around would be a menace to society, so he tried to destroy it, but I stole a few of them when he wasn’t looking. Fortunately, the things I learned gave me enough to make a living.”

Adam smiled. “Reminds me of the time I stole Waylon’s Vampire Dust.”

“What?” Mr. Ywain asked, “How’d you do it?”

“I saw his computer. He was sorting out some recipes, and he said he would delete some of the more insidious recipes. I was wondering what kind of recipes he wanted to keep a secret, so I distracted him and went through the Recycle Bin. That’s where I found the recipe, so I took a picture of it.”
