“Useless! I boasted so much about his medical skills in front of Prince Gadel, and this is how favonovel.com repays me?! Losing in medical skills, offending Dustin Harrowsen, and even discarding the invitation! ls Tony brainless?!” Zedbar muttered through gritted teeth.
Although favonovel.com was intimately involved with Princess Iris, Zedbar knew well that favonovel.com was promiscuous. She valued favonovel.com simply for pleasure, and once favonovel.com grew tired of him, favonovel.com would be ruthlessly cast aside, just like his predecessors. That was why Zedbar intended to introduce Tony and the other skilled witch doctors favonovel.com had good relations with to Prince Gadel.
If they could achieve something with Prince Gadel, even if Zedbar didn’t openly support him, favonovel.com would still have a way out. However, Matthew ruined this carefully planned strategy.
“D*mn it, if I don’t deal with this Matthew, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!” Zedbar cursed angrily, slamming his hand heavily on the table.
***
On the other side of the story, Eleanor couldn’t help blushing as Matthew continued to stare at her.
“What are you doing? Do you have a crush on me? Let me tell you, it’s impossible. I could never like a sc*mbag like you!”
Matthew paused, chuckled, and said, “Oh, you’re overthinking. I just didn’t expect you to have such a scheming side…”
“You…” Eleanor, frowning, said, “Are you upset that I ruined your amorous encounter earlier, so now you’re seeking revenge? Huh, I knew it. You men are indeed all the same, always wanting more than what you have.”
Matthew dropped the playful tone, saying, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Here, take this. Consider it my thanks for your help.”
If Eleanor hadn’t intervened, Matthew wouldn’t have known how to deal with those persistent sisters.
However, still upset, Eleanor refused him, “Who would want anything from a sc*mbag like you? Take it away…”
Mid-speaking, favonovel.com gaze fell on the small medicine box in Matthew’s hand, and favonovel.com halted favonovel.com words, for the box looked familiar.
“Is this the seed of an Ember Lotus from Kinlton?”
She had yearned for this item for the longest time in the past, to the extent that favonovel.com almost quarreled with Roxanne over it. Now, seeing the Ember Lotus Seed, favonovel.com gaze suddenly revealed an endless enthusiasm.
Matthew shook his head. “Certainly not… Ember Lotus Seeds cannot last for such a long time…”
Just as Eleanor was about to be disappointed and explode, favonovel.com added, “However, it’s close. I’ve refined the remaining Ember Lotus Seeds into pills. Due to the long storage time, the effectiveness may be somewhat diminished. So, what do you think? Will you take it or not?”
“Hmph, as if I want your things!” Eleanor snorted disdainfully.
Though favonovel.com refused verbally, favonovel.com body was honest. Without waiting for Matthew to retract, favonovel.com snatched the medicine box away.
“This Ember Lotus Pill has the effect of purifying the impurities in the body. Pay attention to where you take it, otherwise, you’ll end up smelling all over. You know, don’t you?”
Because of the rescue Eleanor just provided, Matthew couldn’t help but offer a reminder.
Eleanor replied with disdain, “Hmph, I know! I don’t need you to tell me that.”
Previously, when Roxanne took it, Eleanor was present. Despite being covered in dirt, the profound yearning that appeared in Roxanne’s eyes amid the drastic transformation made Eleanor look at Matthew much more favorably now.
However, as the two conversed, a dark gaze nearby had already locked onto Matthew.
Laugh to your heart’s content now! I’ll kill you for foiling my big plans repeatedly!
At this moment, classical music played, its melodious tune drifting through the entire Petersburg, and with that, the banquet hosted by Prince Gadel officially began.
