“Why do you get the guts?” Adrian said.He had never met someone so foolish. No wonder Shay was treated as a mere pawn.“I’m warning you. It wasn’t me who wanted your life. You should be thanking the people of Riston,” Adrian said.“Why?” Shay asked, regarding everyone in Riston as evil since they almost killed him.Adrian scoffed. “Without them, you would be dead by now. They unintentionally helped to suppress the drug inside you.”Lionel stared at Adrian. He was supposed to be a Battle Warrior who knew nothing about drugs. Even he himself had only heard about it, and it was his first time seeing it in action today. That was why he got nosy.“There’s no similar drug like this in Navia. How do you know about it?” Lionel asked.“It’s just a guess,” Adrian explained calmly, “I saw cracks on his skin before, but they’re all gone now. It shows that it was caused by an external blow.”Lionel slapped his head. He overestimated how smart he was. He saw the cracks too. He had not taken

“I want to know something.” Adrian’s tone became gentle. “What’s the relationship between the Wolf Fangs and Randell Manor?” “They’re using each other,” Shay said through his tears, “But I figured it out too late. The leader is a jerk for attempting to kill me after using me!”Lionel pursed his lips. “You deserve it.”Wilmer then untied Shay and said in disdain, “A b*stard like you doesn't deserve to stay in Riston. Get out of here, now.”Shay was sobbing so hard that he could barely speak. The fake Green Plum Grass was still at the Randell Manor, and he should be able to find it there.“I’m going to the Randell Manor,” Shay declared.“I’ll wait for you at Medicis Manor.” Adrian nodded.Confused, Bucky asked, “Sir, this guy must be a liar. I’m afraid he won’t return if he runs away. I’ll keep tabs on him.”“There’s no need.” Adrian knew there was no way for Shay to run. There was no way out of this.Shay cried when he heard this. He became a wanderer after this happened. Not
Chapter 2113
Claude was bustling about in the Thousand Herbs Study. He was carefully studying a drug addict he had brought home. He wanted to remove the needle in the man’s chest.Rozi and Marissa had left the study. They could not accept what Claude was doing. It made sense to have done his observation in the forest, but he just had to bring the drug addict home and stink up the study.Caroline was the only one who showed interest. She was chatting with Claude through the window. “Did you find anything, Dr. Claude?” she asked.Claude was annoyed, thinking that this woman talked too much. He could not work in peace and thought that he had to shoo her away somehow.“The peonies in the garden have bloomed,” he said as he clenched his fists. “Go admire them if you have nothing to do.”Caroline was speechless. The people at the Medicis Manor were so boring. Nobody wanted to talk to her. She thought she was lucky to have run into Claude since they knew each other. Never had she expected him to give

Adrian fell silent.Bucky then smelled something familiar when he passed by Caroline. He looked at her in confusion. “That smell on you, where did it come from?”“It’s from the blanket in my room,” Caroline replied innocently, “I think it smells pretty good. You’ve no taste.”Bucky glanced at Adrian, wanting to tell Adrian about his guess. He then stopped since Caroline was standing there and winked at Adrian.Of course, Adrian understood what Bucky was trying to convey. He said to her, “Can we check out your room?”Caroline smiled happily. “Follow me. The smell seems to be from a grass of some sort, and the scent makes me feel good.”Adrian and Bucky said nothing.Caroline, talkative as she was, could not stop talking along the way. “I’m Dieter Morg’s daughter. Dr. Claude is so rude to have chucked me in such a simple room. My back hurts from sleeping on the thin mattress. I was smart though. I found a pile of dry grass in the other room and decided to stuff them under the beds

“I’m going with you,” Caroline said, “I hate such people. We have to kill him just to be safe.”Adrian was taken aback. Caroline was an innocent lady—as pure as a blooming flower. She had never experienced any hardships, so why did she have so much resentment?“Why?” Adrian said.“My mother was killed by this.” Caroline became teary-eyed, unwilling to recall what had happened. The only memory she had left of her mother still haunted her dreams. “I’ll never touch Wyldeweed.”Adrian came to a realization. Could it be the reason why Dieter was always in such a daze? After all, the man had gone through such a drastic change. Why had he not realized sooner?“Okay.” Adrian’s tone became gentle. “Let’s keep this a secret.”Caroline nodded.They headed to the Thousand Herbs Study and saw that the drug addict was the only person there. Claude was nowhere in sight. Had he run away?Caroline said in a panic, “Dr. Claude must’ve escaped. We have to go after him. We can’t let an evil man li

Claude looked at Adrian nervously. “Are you suspecting me or something? But I despise Wyldeweed. It must be Mr. Axel who did it.”Axel was already dead, so there was no way that they could question him about it. They could only speculate.Adrian looked at Claude. “I want to destroy the Wyldeweed so that it won’t harm any more people. Is that agreeable with you?”“Let me take a look at it first,” Claude said, “A couple of factions came by and said that we have Wyldeweed Pills. I thought it was just a rumor.”Adrian asked casually, “You can’t bear to destroy them, can you?”“We have to.” Claude seemed determined.They headed to the courtyard where Caroline was staying. Bucky had moved the Wyldeweed out, piling them in the courtyard. Hearing that Adrian wanted to destroy them, he made fire without hesitation.“What a waste to burn them.” Bucky sighed. “We’d be rich if we sold them. We’d make enough money to last for the rest of our lives.”Smack!Adrian slapped him, Bucky spun ar

Claude was terribly embarrassed. He could not believe Medicis Manor had caused such a horrible thing. He worked the fields himself and always thought Wyldeweed was just a normal weed.“I’m such a fool!” he lamented.“Stop blaming yourself.” Adrian comforted him. “I heard that Dr. Matteo will be arriving soon. I wonder what’s the purpose of his visit.”Claude shuddered. Matteo was not an ordinary person. He and Medicis Manor regularly had business dealings, and Medicis Manor would surely be doomed if they fell out.“What do we do?” Clause asked.“Don’t worry.” Adrian showed no panic. “Even if Dr. Matteo is using the Wyldeweed to make medicine, the dosage should be low. Moreover, there are replacements for it.”Lionel was shocked. He had heard of this, but he was not sure about it. It was a surprise that Adrian knew so much. He was a Battle Warrior, so how did he know so much about herbs?“How do you know?” Lionel asked.Adrian looked to Claude. “If memory serves, there’s a Herb

Everyone was worried, but fortunately, they had learned how destructive Wyldeweed was. They would never touch it, as the consequences of getting addicted to it were terrifying.Adrian squinted. “Do you have more suspicions, Dr. Claude?” Claude pulled out a receipt. It was the list of herbs he had prepared for Matteo. “Look at the list. I suspect that something’s wrong with these Sol Pills.”Adrian glanced at the receipt before handing it to Lionel. “I don’t know what Sol Pills are.”“It’s a supplement the wealthy take.” Although Lionel had mostly wandered aimlessly through Debonaire, he had learned about all sorts of herbs.Bucky explained, “Sol Pills are extremely precious, said to rejuvenate a person by 10 years. I’ve never seen it before though and have only heard of it.”“And Dr. Matteo wants a lot of it.” Adrian glanced at the receipt. “Where are these pills? I’d like to try one.”“I haven't found them yet,” Claude said, sounding a little crestfallen, “And I’ve looked thro
