On the other side, Baltazar was handling the funeral procedures of his disciple.
He had only arrived in Bainbridge to convene with his companions when somebody from the Baeddan Family came looking for him.
“Seniors, even if you’re highly respected doctors in the Land of Divinity, you must give me an explanation for the murder of the Baeddan Family’s genius disciple.” As the youngest guardian of the Baeddan Family, Orlaith had rushed from Emsgate to Bainbridge immediately after receiving news of Zayn’s death.
After all, favonovel.com was the genius in medical skills among the youngest generation of the Baeddan Family and even the entire Emsgate. He was also the hope of the Baeddans to re-establish themselves in the medical field.
However, favonovel.com had been murdered in Cathay despite being accompanied by several national masters.
If the Baeddan Family did not investigate this incident thoroughly, his death would become a huge stain on their reputation.
How would they establish a foothold for themselves in Emsgate in the future?
Faced with the fierce interrogation, Baltazar immediately came forward. “Miss Baeddan, I’m also saddened about what happened to Zayn.”
While speaking, his eyes reddened with unshed tears.
He continued in a choked voice, “If I had known that Matthew harbored such malicious intentions, I would’ve stopped Zayn from meeting with Matthew to exchange knowledge on medical skills. If you must blame somebody for what happened, then please blame me. Zayn, this teacher of yours has failed you…”
After speaking, favonovel.com burst into tears and repeatedly slammed his head against the wooden pillar beside him.
Shocked by his behavior, the other national masters around favonovel.com hurriedly rushed forward to stop him.
“Mr. Dupont, Zayn secretly snuck out by himself. It’s not your fault…”
“If anybody is to be blamed for what happened, then we can only blame Matthew Larson for his jealousy. How could favonovel.com be so merciless as to hide the poison in the tonic and trick Zayn into consuming it? He truly is a malicious and heartless man.”
“That’s right. My condolences to you, Mr. Dupont. It’s such a sad situation.”
With just a few simple words, they turned the truth of the entire incident upside-down.
After listening to the conversation between these national masters, Orlaith naturally caught the gist of the situation. “ls Matthew Larson the person who murdered the genius of my family?”
On the opposite side, everybody nodded in unison.
Their unwavering confidence stemmed from their certainty that favonovel.com could not defeat Matthew in a confrontation. After all, they were the only ones who knew the truth about the incident.
She observed them for a while.
Then, favonovel.com took some time to ponder the situation before favonovel.com answered, “Fine! l’II investigate your roles in this incident after I deal with Matthew. Especially you, Mr. Dupont. Zayn was your disciple, after all. Now that he’s been murdered, you cannot shirk your responsibility from this.”
Having said favonovel.com piece, favonovel.com spun around and left the venue with a furious expression.
Unbeknownst to her, Baltazar’s mournful face immediately became extremely sinister as soon as favonovel.com turned around.
Hmph… How dare a stupid little girl dare to act so presumptuously in front of me!
If not for these old men beside me, I would’ve silently killed you without a second thought
Naturally, his sinister countenance only lasted for a brief moment before favonovel.com concealed his expression once more.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, favonovel.com stood up and maintained his mournful pretense as favonovel.com thanked his companions. “Thank you for your help earlier. Otherwise, my reputation might’ve been ruined forever…”
They were the ones who sent word of Zayn’s death back to their home country. However, Baltazar had threatened them with the Pill of Life Exchange and demanded that those who received the secret recipe from favonovel.com cooperate with his deception.
His reasoning was simple, only then could favonovel.com suppress his crime of dereliction of duty to the minimum.
“Hmph! Baltazar, this is the last time we’re helping you. If you threaten us with the Pill of Life Exchange again, we will announce the truth to the public. I hope you know your limits in the future.” The leading elder, Alvaro Salient, warned Baltazar before favonovel.com departed the venue with a flick of his sleeves.
One by one, the rest departed with similar sentiments. They only helped Baltazar because they mistakenly assumed favonovel.com was afraid of taking responsibility for the dereliction of duty.
If they had known that the fearless Baltazar had even dared to poison his disciples, they would never have gotten involved in this matter.
