Lionel took out the Blossom Needles, frowning. "Axel, forget what I said earlier. I think it isn't worthwhile for me to be your mentor, so why don't you think of me as your grandfather instead?" Axel sneered. "I'll call you whatever you want. If you lose, you’ll be my slave forever.""Deal,” Lionel agreed. He then glanced at Adrian and said, "Please be our witness, sir. Send anyone who breaks the rules to hell right away."Adrian smiled. "Why would you trifle yourself with an outsider? He doesn't seem to know the first thing about medical treatments. All he does is recognize a few herbs." Axel stomped his feet. "You're seriously infuriating me! Claude, teach them a lesson!" But Claude had similar thoughts to Adrian. "You've only taught me how to recognize herbs all this while, sir. You’ve never taught me about medical treatments, so what am I supposed to do?"Axel was stunned and deeply disappointed by his apprentice. After all the effort he had put into the latter, he never t

Half an hour later, Grisha was sweating black beads of sweat and looked fatigued. Despite this, she looked at Adrian gratefully and said, "Let go. You're going to hurt yourself.""I'll be fine." Adrian had actually noticed what was happening and stopped breathing. On top of that, he was immune to most poisons. Lionel, looking satisfied, retrieved his Blossom Needles. Then, he instructed a maid to wipe Grisha down and wrote out a prescription. "Boil these ingredients with some water and take a bath in it. The toxins inside of you will be removed completely then. You'll feel weak for some time, so avoid going outdoors if you can," Lionel instructed. Axel no longer behaved as he did before and got down on his knees when Lionel walked over. "Grandfather!" he said."F*ck off! You'd better not charge me whenever I come here to get medical ingredients from you, understand?" Lionel, in a good mood after curing his patient, had already forgotten about the bet.However, Axel loved his m

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Adrian jumped up, wondering if he had wrongly accused Sebastian.Lionel rubbed his nose. "You didn't ask. Besides, I don't like to meddle in others' private affairs. Sebastian and May did have an affair, and they should be punished."Axel, curious, exclaimed, "Wow! I thought May was a decent woman, but I never imagined she’d cheat on Sebastian.""Enough," Lionel interrupted, realizing the turn of the conversation. "They’re already dead, so let's respect the deceased."Adrian frowned, contemplating Lionel's accurate judgment. If the children were not Sebastian's, whose children were they?"Strange…" he muttered."What's the matter?" Rozi, just coming from Grisha's side, asked Adrian upon hearing his comment.Before Adrian could respond, Joe appeared and said, "Mr. Adrian, you need to come outside. It's chaos out there, and Sir Claude can't handle it."Adrian knew it would turn out this way. Those women were up to no good and would certainly try

Thud!Lucien stumbled and fell, flailing helplessly. He landed face-first, much to the amusement of the onlookers. The villagers, having suffered under Lucien's mistreatment, relished in Adrian's intervention. They cheered and laughed at Lucien's fall.Thoroughly embarrassed, Lucien quickly got up and left with his family, vowing revenge against the onlookers. With him and his family gone, the crowd lost its leader. Since the children were not Sebastian's, their arguments lost ground. The male servants reluctantly left with their wives.Claude, not feeling victorious, said to Adrian, "I've been busy growing medicinal herbs and helping the locals with medical needs so much I’ve neglected to manage Medicis Manor."Adrian answered reassuringly, "You don't have to explain yourself to me. This place is in need of help right now, so why don't we ask the surrounding villagers to help out?"Claude walked toward the crowd and was immediately recognized. When the villagers heard that the ma

Bam! Lucien saw the door of the neighboring fly open. He instantly dropped his weapon and ran off. Claude stepped forward, taking out a balm as he said, “Here's some medicine for your bruises, madam. Apply it to your body, and it should relieve the pain. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, come find me at Medicis Manor.”The old woman was immensely grateful. A man who had just come out of the house saw Adrian and, mistaking him for the attacker, grabbed Adrian by the collar.The old lady shouted, “He's not the one who hit me, you idiot! Let him go!” The man’s fist froze in mid-air and looked at Adrian suspiciously. “Who is he? I don't recognize him.”“This is Adrian and a friend of mine," Claude said smilingly, “Stop messing around, Wilmer. Adrian’s a good person, so you shouldn't be laying your hands on him."Wilmer Pullman immediately apologized and asked, “Aren't you the guy who fired Lucien?”“I am,” Adrian said, straightening his clothes. “You have a problem with that?”
