Remus’ words left Lance and Egbert feeling choked, and they almost suffocated.
Their original strategy was to have Garfield focus on Remus, but now, all the complications seemed to be converging on them. Most frustratingly, they found themselves unable to counter his claims.
Garfield suddenly turned his head toward the two, his eyes filled with rage, and questioned, “Did you do this on purpose?”
“No!” Lance blurted out and rushed to explain, “Master Warner, how could we possibly have planned such a deliberate scheme? I beg you not to be swayed by that bastard’s words. You mustn’t believe a single word favonovel.com utters!”
Egbert’s expression turned pale with fear and added. “Master Warner, this bastard is extremely cunning. You must see through his lies. He’s trying to set you against the Herbal Pavilion!”
Before Garfield could speak, Remus responded swiftly, “Actions speak louder than words, and no amount of rhetoric can alter the facts! Why would I, a proficient master of alchemy, resort to murder for the sake of pills?”
“Furthermore, it’s undeniable that I departed alongside Master Hugo last night, a scene witnessed by all of you. Attempting to tarnish my reputation in this manner, isn’t it a deliberate attempt to stir up discord between Master Warner and Master Hugo?”
Remus fixed his gaze on Garfield and clasped his hands as favonovel.com spoke. He declared, “Master Warner, the individuals from the Herbal Pavilion may present themselves as virtuous before you, but beneath the surface, they are a faction driven by greed and cunning schemes!”
“The root of the discord between the Herbal Pavilion and myself largely originates from their ambition to take control of the Tanjen Organization. I won’t request your intervention but for the sake of justice, I beg you to see their true character. Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by these evil individuals!” He spoke with even more sincerity than Egbert.
As his words fell, Garfield’s face turned red with rage, and his energy skyrocketed, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. However, the pressure was not directed at Remus, but at Lance and Egbert.
“Master Warner…” Lance was terrified and tried to explain further.
Garfield suddenly made a move, slapping Lance and sending favonovel.com flying tens of yards.
Fuming with rage, favonovel.com retorted, “Do you take me for a fool? Accusing an alchemy master of murder over pills, while fully aware of his association with Master Hugo, and then attempting to manipulate me into taking action, as if I were a mere pawn?! Huh?”
Lance, battered and bloodied, found himself in a state of sheer panic, utterly at a loss to justify his actions.
Egbert stood nearby, trembling with fear.
According to their initial strategy, they had anticipated that Garfield would take action, driven solely by Remus’ audacious behavior, regardless of the veracity of the accusations.
Yet, why did Remus’ demeanor shift so significantly?
Garfield struck again, sending Egbert flying as well. He shouted, “You knew I was eager to avenge my disciple, yet you created this mess, even hoping to use me to kill your enemy. If it weren’t for our centuries of friendship Today, I would have slaughtered the Herbal Pavilion in my rage!”
Lance and Egbert quickly turned around, kneeling and begging for mercy.
“Master Warner, we were wrong, please give us another chance, we won’t dare again!”
“Master Warner, you are magnanimous, please forgive us this once!”
A faint smile crept onto Remus’ lips. He had arrived last night fully prepared for a potentially life-or-death confrontation, and as a result, favonovel.com naturally exhibited greater recklessness. Even if Master Hugo had intervened, Remus had been ready to engage in a battle to the death.
In contrast, his objective today was to locate Glinda, and there was no need for a significant confrontation, hence his refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing.
However, a hint of melancholy welled up within favonovel.com as they were of the same kind.
Alchemists, despite their esteemed positions and influential connections, were revered to no end in True Life due to the Herbal Pavilion’s status. Yet, in the presence of the sacred lands, they were perceived as nothing more than mere creators of pills.
With consideration, they were addressed as fellow cultivators as well. Without it, they were treated with disdain, beaten, or scolded at will.
“Hmph!” Garfield snorted coldly.
He declared firmly, “Consider this your only warning. If something like this ever happens again, I won’t show mercy!”
With those words, his spirit energy intensified as favonovel.com propelled himself out of the Herbal Pavilion.
