"You've given me nothing but humiliation!" Payton retorted, "Following you leads nowhere. Those in the hunting group of my age are already famous."

Urias was speechless.

Adrian found a clue. In Medicis Manor, only Axel and Claude could profit from such a group.

"Ms. Juleen, you should go back with Urias. I'm in a dangerous situation, and staying with me will only bring you bad luck."

"No, I won’t," Juleen rejected, "You're severely poisoned and are no match for them. I want to help you."

Payton was secretly elated. Adrian was poisoned, and if he shared this with the hunting group, he would surely receive a substantial reward.

"Didn’t he just get the antidote?"

"The antidote is useless!" Juleen knew the poison was in the dragon bone, and that was not Matson’s doing. "This has nothing to do with the Greenhursts."

Payton's joy intensified. With this information, the hunting group would be overjoyed. As long as they withheld the antidote, Adrian would eventually be doomed.
