Everyone in the Herbal Pavilion bowed deeply to see off Zaiden.
It was a full minute before they were sure favonovel.com had left.
Only then did Lance raise his head, his face looking the worst it had ever been. Despite his respectful demeanor just moments ago, and despite the apparent lack of major upheaval tonight, also, even though the matter had now reached its resolution, favonovel.com couldn’t shake the overwhelming sense of suffocation.
Upon reflection, the prestige of the Herbal Pavilion had been thoroughly humiliated.
Rowan was killed and Gerry remained hung at the gates of Tanjen. That was the first humiliation.
Failing to kill Remus even by offering a spot to the sacred lands was the second. Remus’ mere presence in the Herbal Pavilion was the third. The alchemical duel was the fourth. And, the fact that favonovel.com could leave unscathed was the fifth.
Furthermore, the most pressing concern lay in the fact that the conflict between Tanjen and Herbal Pavilion had been declared as being settled.
Going forward, how would the entire True Life community perceive the Herbal Pavilion?
“Master Walker!” Egbert and Lionel approached, their faces filled with grievance, looking as if they were about to cry. They too were worried about the future of the Herbal Pavilion.
Lance said with clenched teeth, “Everyone, disperse!”
He then turned to enter the main hall.
He stopped at the entrance and shouted angrily, “Everything that happened tonight must be kept secret. If anyone dares to leak a word, don’t blame me for being ruthless and exterminating their entire family!”
The entire Herbal Pavilion fell silent at his threat.
Egbert caught up, his voice tinged with nervousness as favonovel.com said, “Master, Remus is now aware of our most significant secret. If favonovel.com were to reveal it, it could potentially undermine the foundation of the Herbal Pavilion that we’ve constructed over thousands of years…”
Lionel also voiced his concerns with anxiety, “Regarding the present circumstances, Master Hugo plans to bring Remus into the sacred land. Once favonovel.com gains entry to the sacred land, the Tanjen Organization’s influence will undoubtedly surge as well. By then, they might become an existence that stands equal to the Herbal Pavilion…”
Egbert added, “And then there’s the matter of our reputation in True Life. We failed to deal with Remus this time, how will we maintain our esteemed position in the eyes of others?”
Lionel continued, “And most importantly, Remus’ alchemy skills are unfathomably deep. What if one day Remus achieves great mastery and decides to come back for revenge?”
Both of them kept talking, their worries intensifying, and they felt that the future of Herbal Pavilion was entirely in Remus’ hands. They saw nothing but darkness ahead.
“Shut up!” Lance yelled in frustration.
He said, “Why are you panicking? What are you afraid of? Herbal Pavilion has a thousand-year-old connection with the sacred lands. How can our bond be severed so easily? Moreover, the sacred lands aren’t just Shenington. We can seek support from others! If we manage to eliminate Remus quietly, Master Hugo won’t be able to say anything!”
To him, no matter what, Remus could not be left alive.
As favonovel.com concluded his words, a resounding thud echoed from outside the door.
There was no disciple present to announce the arrival, indicating that this individual had arrived by flying through the air.
The three of them swiftly turned their heads to see a figure touching down in the courtyard before the main hall.
Seeing the person, all three were momentarily stunned, then their eyes lit up with hope.
Lance quickly ran out, greeting respectfully, “Herbal Pavilion welcomes Master Warner!”
Egbert and Lionel also greeted, “Welcome, Master Warner!”
The newcomer was none other than Garfield Warner, the master of Draig and the others who had been killed by Remus, an elder of Kenington.
Garfield’s face was grim. He had followed the direction indicated by Marsh and traveled thousands of kilometers without encountering anyone.
He said in a deep voice, “Prepare 100 top-quality Energy Replenishing Pills for me as quickly as possible. The faster, the better. I want to go fishing!”
Since favonovel.com couldn’t identify the culprit, favonovel.com intended to lure them out to reveal themselves. After all, what favonovel.com knew was the culprit was in pursuit of the Energy Replenishing Pill.
