"Green Plum Grass is extremely rare," Andre said as he frowned. "Ordinary people rarely use it, and many believe it to be a miraculous medicine. Only its seeds can be used as a medicinal ingredient; the stem and leaves are highly toxic."Adrian felt conflicted. If only the seeds were effective, this left little opportunity for people like them, especially since he had no relationship with Leeroy."I need it badly though,” Adrian lamented."Claude mentioned it to me." Andre accepted a glass that Claude handed to me, calmly stating, "I've already examined Ms. Rozi and determined that Green Plum Grass will have no effect on her condition."Adrian looked out the window, but Lionel was nowhere to be seen. He wondered where the latter had gone. Despite knowing he had urgent matters, Lionel deliberately avoided showing up. This proved quite frustrating.Claude nudged Adrian and whispered, "Mr. Lionel just argued with Andre and they almost came down to fists."Andre, having sharp ears, s
Andre's words frightened Claude. Although Axel was dead, he had been his mentor. If things were investigated, he would undoubtedly be implicated. He started to panic. But looking at Adrian and seeing his calm expression, Claude breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Andre could not stay here forever and would leave soon.Unexpectedly, Adrian said, "Medicis Manor is the distributor. Before you arrived, we already eradicated the root cause of the pills."Claude almost fainted. Andre had just discussed a partnership with Adrian. In the future, Medicis Manor would supply medicinal ingredients to Debonaire City, a substantial business deal that could elevate Medicis Manor's status. But everything was now ruined."I know." Andre continued studying the Herb Compendium. "Claude lacks experience, but now that he’s in charge, I believe such a thing won't happen again."Claude nodded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling grateful. Adrian had shown complete wisdom and managed to gain A
Halfway through, Andre found a chance and whispered, "Why did you bring him along, Adrian? He's an arrogant man who thinks he's all that. It's only a matter of time before he lands us in trouble.""He's actually a pretty nice guy who always treats patients for free. It's rare to find friendly and kind doctors just like yourself these days." Andre was flattered to hear this and thought that Adrian was a decent guy who took good care of everyone he crossed paths with. Moreover, Adrian kept everyone's hopes up, causing everyone to like him.However, Andre was still worried about the Blossom Needles. "Are you sure this is okay? He looks like he's high on Sol Pills, and his addiction is acting up. Just look at how distorted his face looks,” he commented.Adrian smiled. "You're both extremely skilled physicians, so you two could stand to benefit from learning from each other.""Fine. I just hate his face, that’s all." Andre felt secretly elated. "I hate your face too. If it weren’t f
"You should ask him if he's okay with me helping you or not," Andre said with a smile as he glanced at Adrian. "I follow his orders.""What?!" The addict loosened his grip and collapsed to the ground. He knew there was no hope for him if Andre would only listen to Adrian."You're lying!" he shouted."It's the truth. I won't do anything that goes against his wishes,” Andre said firmly.This was a pact Adrian and Andre had made before setting out. Adrian was worried about encountering Shaquille's men on the road. If he were to be harmed, Andre feared that Adrian would take action.The addict looked at Adrian and revealed, "The Wolf Fangs have issued a bounty on you. Anyone who manages to harm you will receive a Sol Pill."Adrian felt relieved. He realized that Shaquille had dug his own grave making such a move. No faction was going to back him up now."Oh, I’m shaking in my boots!" Adrian said mockingly.The addict did not pick up on this though, "You should. Everyone's lying low
“Amazing.” Bucky got very excited. He had been training hard lately, and of course, he improved significantly. He had been wanting to fight someone. “I’ll be leading. Nobody fights with me to be the first.”Adrian found this hilarious. Bucky was too arrogant. The people who were coming would only get more and more powerful. Nevertheless, with Andre’s protection, they could only sneak up on them.“We’ll leave it to you then!” Adrian said.Bucky was exuberant, and he got the job done quickly. He followed Adrian onto the carriage. With the sword in his hand, he was ready to fight.Adrian shut his eyes. He did not take this seriously at all. Those people would lose their battle strength as soon as they consumed the Sol Pills. The burst of energy they would have in the beginning aside, they would lose their strength right after that. Bucky could certainly handle them.However, Leeroy’s attitude was suspicious. He should know how the Wolf Fangs were. They could attack them by working wi
Andre looked at Adrian’s carriage and panicked. He and Matteo were close. Naturally, he worried about him and wanted to go to him right away.“What happened?” Andre asked.“The wheel is broken.” The coachman looked wronged. He had checked the carriage before departure. It was all good and sturdy then.Adrian said smilingly, “The scenery is beautiful here. We should take a rest. Let’s catch some game and put them on a bonfire. I’m sure you’ve never tried that.”“I can’t eat right now!” Andre was panicking. All of the carriages were full, and they could not even fit one more person. “I’ve given my promise. I can’t go back on my word.”“This was an accident.” Adrian smiled. “We’ll let the coachman take a look at it. It’s futile for us to panic, so let’s just enjoy life a little.”They sat in a circle.Marissa was pale, seemingly exhausted. Some color returned to her face when she saw the beautiful scenery before her. “It’s beautiful!” she said.Bucky caught some fish, started a fi
That man saw Adrian too. He was scared seeing the latter being able to rise to the air in a straight line. He attempted to run, never expecting Adrian to arrive right in front of him. His face was grim as if he was owed a big sum of money.Adrian ordered, “Tell me what Shaquille is plotting.”“I don’t know.” That man ran toward his horse in an attempt to leave.Whoosh!Adrian snatched the man’s sword from him and stabbed the horse’s abdomen. It fell to the ground without even making a sound.The man rolled off the horse, looking at Adrian in panic. His legs were shaking from the terror. He dared not hide the truth any longer, and he quickly said, “Mr. Shaquille plans to kill you and make you the Sol Pill scapegoat.”“That’s a pretty good idea!”Adrian had not expected Shaquille to do such a thing. Andre already knew about this matter though and would tell Leeroy. Could Shaquille shut Andre up?“Do you think he’ll succeed?” Adrian inquired.That man shrugged and revealed a prou
Whoosh! Whoosh!Shaquille thought Andre was weak and would not be able to do anything against him. But just as Shaquille pounced, Andre threw ten needles at him.“Haha!” Andre clapped and smiled brightly. “I managed to throw the Blossom Needles, Lionel!”Lionel peeked out and said in slight disdain, “Finally, some improvement.” He glanced at Shaquille. “Your underling is pretty good-looking.”“Stop joking around.” Andre ran toward Lionel and hid behind him. “I don't know that man. I thought he was with you.”Shaquille panicked. He had ten needles in his arms, and he could not move. He would be doomed when Adrian returned. He had to think of a way to escape.“Ahh, I can’t breathe!” Shaquille cried out.“Oh no!” Andre felt beaten. He thought he had mastered the essence of the technique. “Come look at him for me, Lionel.” He was worried that Shaquille would die and hastily removed the needle in the middle of Shaquille’s arm.Just when Andre was about to check Shaquille’s pupils, t
