“Stop, that’s enough!” Marsh interjected, his voice a mix of awe and bewilderment, “Your insights are astounding, Remus. You’ve shared the simplest method, and that suffices!”
Remus halted his explanation. He hadn’t misled them, each top-tier herb indeed possessed its unique spirit. A common example was ginseng, which had to be tied with a string, or it could easily escape.
He replied, “Then, let us part ways here. If fate allows, we’ll meet again…”
Dawn was approaching, and they had to hasten their journey. Any delay on the road posed a greater threat to the Tanjen Organization. Resolving the matter with the Herbal Pavilion had become an urgent priority.
“Indeed, may fate bring us together again,” Marsh replied, clasping his hands in respect. He watched Remus intently, feeling an unusual curiosity about this man, wishing to linger a moment longer.
But as soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from above them, saying, “I had such a hard time finding you, hahaha!”
All of them instinctively looked up to see a group of people flying through the air, all dressed in matching green robes. The leader was a young man around Marsh’s age.
“Draig Parker!” both Marsh and Elsie exclaimed, their faces drained of color as if facing a formidable enemy.
Before they could respond, a group of people had already reached them, forming a circle in the sky with 12 individuals, effectively trapping them inside.
Draig, at the forefront, sneered down at them. “Marsh, I bet you didn’t see this coming. I convinced our Master to let me pursue you into these vast mountains.”
He paused, relishing the moment. “Now, what should I do with you?”
Before Marsh could respond, Elsie spoke with anger, “Draig Parker, our Master is right outside these mountains. If you dare to target us, our Master won’t show you any mercy. Step aside immediately! If you seek revenge, defeat Marsh in this year’s competition, in front of everyone!”
“Acting like a bully and outnumbering us only makes you look petty and villainous! If this gets out, it will not only tarnish your reputation but also Kenington’s!”
Draig wasn’t angered by favonovel.com words, instead, favonovel.com appeared amused and replied, “Elsie, you’re certainly eloquent. However, if we’re here, isn’t it possible that my Master is here as well? Additionally, I’m just a minor figure in Kenington at the moment. I can’t speak for all of Kenington.”
“On the contrary, you and Marsh are the renowned experts of Shenington. Humiliating you both will be rather satisfying, hahaha!”
Elsie’s confidence wavered, favonovel.com forehead beading with sweat. They were trapped, with no apparent escape.
Marsh spoke up, “Draig, our grudge is between us. If you want revenge, come for me. It has nothing to do with Elsie. Let favonovel.com go!”
Draig countered, “She cheered for you throughout last year’s competition. How can favonovel.com be unrelated? Tonight, we’re here to teach both of you a lesson!”
With a swift hand gesture, favonovel.com commanded, “Attack!”
“Wait!”
At that moment, an unexpected voice interjected. It was Remus, who had been overlooked in the tension.
He raised his head and said, “I don’t know if it’s related to her, but it definitely has nothing to do with us. Make way and let us pass!”
All eyes turned to him, Draig included, who had previously disregarded Remus.
Marsh and Elsie had been preoccupied with the imminent threat and had forgotten about Remus’ presence.
Remus raised his hands in a clasping gesture and said, “I’m merely a passerby. Farewell!”
