A particular illness? Lionel had not heard of such an occurrence as it had not existed in Navia. He was a cautious person, and if he had not personally witnessed something, he would not outright deny its existence.He looked to Adrian, indicating he had no more information to contribute, and briskly left the hall.Adrian chuckled lightly. "Dr. Matteo, I don't mean to challenge your expertise, but the Herb Compendium, is that a book you authored?""Yes, it is." Matteo shone with pride. "That's the culmination of my life's work. It's a legacy. I personally tested each item in it through numerous experiments."Adrian smiled approvingly. ‘What a responsible physician,’ he thought.He then said, "But the book clearly stipulates that only the roots of the Wyldeweed should be used medicinally. The leaves should never be utilized."Matteo was struck speechless.Bucky, unable to contain his laughter, ran out to the courtyard. The sounds reached the hall, making the atmosphere awkward.A

Adrian felt a tinge of disappointment, though he acknowledged some progress had been made. Sensing Rozi's dejection, he held her hand and offered an encouraging smile.Matteo was greatly surprised. Green Plum Grass was a prized possession in Debonaire, and even he seldom had access to it. Adrian's request for it led him to speculate that Adrian aimed to seize it."I suggest you forget about it," Matteo said loudly, "Mr. Leeroy won’t part with the Green Plum Grass unless it's a matter of life or death.""I need the Green Plum Grass to save someone," Rozi insisted, "Mr. Leeroy wouldn't be unwilling to help in such a critical situation, right?"Matteo hesitated to speak, knowing that Rozi had no chance of obtaining such potent medicinal herbs since she belonged to the Sun Tribe. The social hierarchy in Debonaire was strict, and the lives of the Sun Tribe members were undervalued. Yet, he dared not voice this out loud. Witnessing Adrian's remarkable strength moments ago, Matteo thought

Just then, Claude walked into the hall. Matteo breathed a sigh of relief. Being doubted by others was truly uncomfortable. After he proved his identity and recovered the Sol Pills, he decided to not stay a moment longer."Here's a thousand chrystals," Matteo declared haughtily, "The goods are also at your doorstep. Please have someone verify them."Adrian was surprised. Matteo's swift desire to leave was probably due to the shame he had endured. He asked, "Are you not going to stay for a few days, Dr. Matteo?""I have other matters to attend to," Matteo said, unable to bear Adrian's disdain.Claude was worried. Matteo would normally stay at Medicis Manor for about ten days to half a month, deciding on the supplies for the next year."Dr. Matteo!" Claude called out, "Do you not want to do business with us anymore?"Matteo gave no response, climbed into his carriage, and left.Adrian comforted Claude, "Don't worry too much. Several people have contacted me to buy medicinal herbs.

"There’s no Wyldeweed left!" Randy suddenly erupted into loud sobs, rolling across the ground and grabbing nearby stones to strike his head.Hendrick attempted to restrain him, but Randy exhibited unexpected strength. He pushed Hendrick away and continued to harm himself.Adrian was alarmed, but he swiftly slapped Randy, rendering the man unconscious. Adrian now understood that if addicts could not access Wyldeweed, they would opt for self-destruction.Adrian urgently called for Lionel. After Lionel inserted a few silver needles into Randy, the latter stirred. He looked disoriented, surprised by his surroundings. "How did I get here?"Hendrick, displeased, remarked, "You owe Mr. Adrian your gratitude. Without his intervention, you might’ve died."Randy quickly knelt to express his gratitude.Adrian gestured for him to leave. "Don't come back here. There's no Wyldeweed in Medicis Manor. If you ever struggle with your addiction again, tie yourself up immediately."Randy nodded obe

After reading the notice that Medicis Manor put up, no one dared to enter casually. They just loitered around the perimeter, leaving Claude feeling anxious and restless. Claude went to find Adrian. "This isn't right. The constant cries and howls are putting everyone in a bad mood,” he said.Adrian noticed Rozi was sporting panda-like eyes, probably from lack of sleep. "They're a nuisance. Can't they understand plain words?” she said."I'll think of a solution." Adrian rubbed his temples in frustration. "Why do they insist on being as persistent as flies?"Lionel strongly opposed, "I want to take them in. I've gained some insights now. Maybe I can help them recover." He looked at Adrian with a pleading expression. "But I need your help. Can you assist me?""No problem." Adrian readily agreed, already understanding what Lionel wanted. "You may use my authority to intimidate them, but it won't be that easy."Lionel looked smug as he replied, "If you're willing to help, half the bat

"What did you say?" Adrian heard Bucky mumbling to himself, but he understood Bucky was just looking out for him. "Hurry up and get ready. We're heading to Ivory Cloud Mountain."Bucky became excited. A wanderer at heart, he had long desired to explore the Greenhurst faction and now had the opportunity to visit Ivory Cloud, which would certainly provide him with plenty of tales for the future."When do we leave?" he asked eagerly."Tomorrow," Adrian said decisively.Arlo had nearly recovered and was eager to return. Additionally, Winston was expected to arrive at Medicis Manor tonight. A trip to Ivory Cloud Mountain was inevitable and pressing. Adrian also worried about Dieter. That old man was quite the prankster, and these days must have been very difficult for him.Bucky left, beaming with a smile.Lionel grew concerned. He had just started treating these people. If Adrian was not around, he feared the individuals might revolt, and he and Claude would not be able to manage the

Kyril became tongue-tied. His claim as the future leader of Ivory Cloud was merely wishful thinking on Sylvas' part. The decision had not been formally recognized, so when Winston voiced his opposition, Kyril immediately hunted him down. But now confronted by Adrian's query, Kyril struggled to formulate a valid response. Fortunately, he had a group of supporters, one among them having a face resembling that of a horse."You've relinquished your authority!" the horse-faced man interjected sharply. "You are no longer affiliated with Ivory Cloud. What right do you have to speak here?""I passed it on to Johnny Tackle," Adrian said, enunciating each and every word clearly. "But without Dieter's acknowledgment, my status remains unchanged."Kyril's face reddened. No one had dared to challenge him in this manner before. If it were not for Adrian's formidable reputation and their proximity to the Greenhursts, he would have immediately retaliated."Well, so do you agree to it?" Kyril quest

“What do you think, Adrian? Are you proud of my artwork?" Caroline chirped cheerfully, completely unaware of Adrian's mounting irritation.They had not had dinner, and after traveling overnight while subsisting on dry rations, Adrian's mood was understandably sour."Be quiet! How are you always so cheerful?" Adrian growled.Winston hurriedly said, "Caroline’s just an idiot."Bucky wanted to laugh but did not dare. He instead turned his face and pressed his mouth against the carriage. Suddenly, his body leaned toward Adrian due to the jolting of the carriage and he quickly turned, afraid of bumping into Adrian.Bam!He crashed into Winston instead. Winston's face swelled and turned purple from the pain, but he did not dare retort. He gazed at Adrian, hoping for some support."Ahem!" Adrian grunted, considering jumping off the carriage.Were it not for keeping an eye on Kyril, he would not have tolerated the carriage ride. Caroline's antics were giving him a splitting headache.
