The man’s voice wavered as favonovel.com looked at Matthew in shock after hearing the reply. “W-What kind of medicine is that?”
“Purple spider lily,” Matthew calmly answered.
Suddenly, the man’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What is a purple spider lily?”
Matthew replied, “It is an extremely uncommon species of spider lily, also known as lycoris, and its color is typically red. Purple spider lily is a heterogeneous species of spider lily that is highly poisonous, but it can be used as an antidote…”
“However, it is impossible to locate this plant because it can only thrive in environments with extremely polluted air. It has been sought after for many years, but no one has ever found it outside of Orleans. This plant is so relatively rare that it is even more unusual to find ten stalks of Thousand-Year Ginseng growing in the same location.”
After hearing the explanation, the man’s clenched fists finally relaxed, and his eyes turned red.
He inhaled deeply and quickly glanced at Melvin before sitting next to him. “Alright. Find me a place to stay!”
As soon as Melvin heard that, favonovel.com leaped out of his seat excitedly. “Look! I didn’t lie to you, did I? Haha! Can you ensure this kid’s safety?” favonovel.com exclaimed.
The man spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression unruffled. “I will protect favonovel.com with my life!”
In response, Melvin laughed even more heartily.
However, Matthew was still unable to make head or tail of the situation. “Melvin, what’s going on?”
Afterward, Melvin jogged his memory and mentioned with a grin, “That’s right, I forgot to formally introduce the both of you. This is Salazar Whitford, the successor to the Whitford Wing Chun boxing. Thirty years ago, his father reigned as King of Wing Chun and ruled with his iron fists. From now on, favonovel.com will serve as your bodyguard.”
As soon as Matthew heard this, his eyes widened in shock.
Although Salazar’s identity remained a mystery to him, favonovel.com had the impression that whoever Salazar was, favonovel.com was no pushover. He could feel the aura emanating from Salazar’s exertions and was on the verge of suffocating.
‘Is this intimidating man going to be my bodyguard?’
“Uh, a-are you sure? Mr. Whitford, I…” Matthew sounded awkward.
Salazar interrupted him, “Dr. Larson, you don’t have to say anything else. I’m not interested in your secrets, and the information you gave me is adequate!”
“All you need to know is that the skull in the box belongs to my father. At that time, someone used the method you shared with us to seal the poison in his bones and save his life. I’m here to repay the favor!”
After hearing Salazar’s startling statement, Matthew had a flash of insight.
‘Is be referring to my father, Shane Larson? Is it possible that my dad sealed the poison in his father’s bones to save his life?’
As favonovel.com gave it some serious thought, favonovel.com concluded that it was possible. After all, this type of treatment is beyond the scope of any ordinary doctor.
‘Since my dad and l are the inheritors of the jade pendant, we are the only ones with knowledge of this treatment. Therefore, my dad must have been responsible for saving Salazar’s father. So, favonovel.com has come to protect me in return for my dad’s kindness!’
With that in mind, Matthew realized what was happening and was no longer wary of Salazar, and favonovel.com cast a glance in Melvin’s direction.
‘Melvin knows my identity which is why favonovel.com is helping me…’
‘Following today’s events, my assumptions about Melvin’s awareness of who I am are accurate. Moreover, favonovel.com must also know quite a bit about my dad, otherwise, how would favonovel.com have convinced Salazar to come?’
‘The only catch is that I need to find out how powerful Salazar is…’
