"Hah." Andre scoffed. "Mr. Leeroy won’t employ Matteo after he has exposed his true colors. My medical skills are the best, so of course, Mr. Leeroy wants me to go back with him.""Oh, please, stop daydreaming. Your medical skills aren't the best," Lionel said. He then inserted some Blossom Needles into Marissa, and her complexion became better. "At most, you're just a rather skilled doctor,” he continued. Andre did not fight back. After all, he was nothing compared to Lionel when it came to medical skills. It was just that they were about the same age, so he felt a little bit embarrassed to become his apprentice. "Dr. Andre, come over and take a look," Adrian said as he noticed one of the pursuers behind them looked like Nico. "Is that your butler?""What the hell?!" Andre shouted when he saw that one of the pursuers was Nico's son. His face sank as he snorted. "I haven't settled the score with Nico for betraying me yet. Well, since he has come to me, it's time to settle the sco
"It wasn't us," Andre replied, "It was Mr. Leeroy. He's the mastermind. He even tried to kill me earlier. Fortunately, I managed to escape."He then urged the coachman to keep moving. He had no interest in Emerald Haven that Oregon talked about.However, Adrian stopped him. They would be fine if they went to Wasteland alone, but bringing so many ordinary people would undoubtedly cause trouble. It would be better to have them stay in Emerald Haven. Most importantly, Marissa was weak right now. She needed rest, and could not accompany them on the journey."Why not go to Emerald Haven? Mr. Leeroy shouldn't be pursuing us. After all, he's currently busy dealing with the aftermath of the Wolf Fangs.""I won’t go back to Debonaire City," Andre said resolutely, "The time I spent there has caused a decline in my medical skills.""It just shows that you're not that much of a skilled doctor. Stop blaming others," Lionel sneered. "Honestly, I'm quite interested in Emerald Haven. If there is
Suddenly, a person wearing animal fur and carrying a large bag appeared in the middle of the road. He waved at them, seemingly looking for a ride.Bucky asked, "Mr. Adrian, that guy looks pretty heavy. Will he crush our carriage if he gets on?""Calm down," Adrian said as he observed the man. Just like Bucky said, the man was tall and strong, but it seemed he had a leg injury. "Maybe he's just seeking medical help.""Go treat him then," Andre said, still jealous of the compliments Jim had given Adrian during the journey.Adrian felt annoyed. It was just a minor external wound that he treated himself. Moreover, he had the emergency pills Lionel had given him."Fine!""Fine, fine. I'll do it!" Andre said, "Consider it my kindness!”Rozi stifled a laugh. Both of them had been bickering all along, and every time, Adrian would be the one to emerge victoriously. "Remember to ask who he is and where he comes from,” she said. "That's not necessary," Andre said, "I have full faith in A
"I'm a dragon hunter,” Rozi said."Hahaha!" The man doubled over with laughter. He did not believe Rozi and thought that she was joking. "You? A dragon hunter? Please don't make me laugh!"What's so funny?” Adrian chimed in, "I'm the real dragon hunter here."The man stopped laughing. Adrian's unexpected display left him in awe. He abandoned any hint of disdain, bowed respectfully, and said excitedly, "If you really are a dragon hunter, then you have to help us. If not, we Yordanovs are done for!" “How far is it from here to Wasteland?” Adrian asked. He was worried about Rozi's health. After all, she might not be fit for dragon hunting, and he had no experience himself.The man was overjoyed and said, “It's not far. Just another day of travel and you'll arrive at Wasteland. However, if we take a shortcut, we can get there in half a day, but…”"But? We'll run into the dragon?” Adrian asked. After all, the man looked frightened. However, the dragons were not the only monsters that
"Don't worry about me," the man said. He was big in size, and it would surely cause the carriage to fall apart if he got on.Adrian leaned toward Andre and asked, "Are you not going to ask about your apprentice's whereabouts?""That can wait," Andre said, his face getting paler with anxiety as he looked at the increasingly bumpy road. "Let's get into Wasteland first, but it seems there's no way forward."The man hurriedly ran ahead and found a large boulder blocking the narrow path. "Someone must have put the rock here!" The man said exasperatingly, "Lend me a hand. Let's push the stone aside."As soon as he had finished speaking, a monster appeared atop the large boulder. Its head was that of a dragon, but its body was shorter and it had webbed feet."It's a dragon!" the man exclaimed. He dropped his baggage and fearfully hid behind the carriage while holding his breath.Meanwhile, Bucky calmly dismounted his horse and took Andre to the side. "Let's stand aside and watch the s
The dragon was planning to run away. However, when it saw Andre and Bucky, it became ecstatic, thinking it could still gain something from this encounter.Swish! Swish!The dragon swiftly lunged toward them. Before it could extend its claws, it sensed a strong energy behind it and involuntarily turned around. Seizing the opportunity, Adrian thrust his blade into the dragon's eye while skillfully avoiding its eyeball. "How’s that?!" he called out."Amazing!" Rozi praised, her eyes filled with joy as she caught the dragon. "Your moves were clean and decisive. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been so confident."In reality, Adrian was not entirely confident. If the dragon had not turned around and instead charged forward, he would have given up. Unexpectedly, the dragon did turn around, sealing its own fate.Thud! Andre fainted. As he could barely support himself facing the dragon's claws earlier, witnessing the dragon fall extinguished his remaining strength.Bucky excla
As long as there was a market demand, her family would not perish. They were sure to meet again, and Rozi was thrilled about this prospect."Wow! What a scenic view!" she exclaimed.After traversing the bumpy path, they were greeted by an endless expanse of land. The sunlight illuminated the grass on the ground, making it particularly radiant. Hearing Rozi's joyful voice, Adrian's excitement surged."Wasteland, here I come!" he said."Who's making all that noise?" someone with an elderly voice said, sounding a bit annoyed. "Shut up, will you?"Adrian scanned the surroundings, but he did not see anything.The strong man came up to Adrian and said, "It should be a Pyrogeist. It's very fierce, and we have no way to kill it.""A Pyrogeist?" Adrian looked in the direction he pointed. Not far away, the land split open, and a red beast with its eyes emitting flames emerged from within. "Don't move!" The man lowered his voice and stayed still. Unfortunately, while people could stand
Andre was a bit frustrated when Adrian remained silent. Knowing he had embarrassed himself earlier, he tried to justify himself. "I'm just a doctor. Don't mock me. If it were someone else, they would've wet themselves long ago.""True," Adrian agreed. Wasteland was indeed too dangerous. They should not have brought Andre along. "Let's move along. It might be even more dangerous at night."The strong man nodded. He had never seen a Pyrogeist before and was now scared stiff. "At night, there are even more ferocious beasts known as Riftflux. They swallow all those they see. The locals never go out at night."The group immediately set off. Adrian rode alongside the man. Seeing him running effortlessly and recalling their earlier conversation, Adrian asked, "Isn't it safer to stay at home? Won't the Riftflux leave you alone then?"“My family, the Yordanovs, have four totems," the man explained hastily, "My name is Pompilio Yordanov, by the way. You can just call me Pom.""Then you don'
