Upon hearing Gerald say that, Xareni instantly retorted, “You!-”
Before favonovel.com could say anything rash, however, favonovel.com simply nodded before remaining silent for a while to calm herself.
A few seconds later, favonovel.com smiled angrily before saying, “Well since you clearly look down on our small temple, then I guess the Lovewell family will just hand over the Book of Beasts to you tomorrow as our token of appreciation, sir!”
The moment favonovel.com was done speaking, Xareni instantly turned around and left his room. Upon closing the door behind her, favonovel.com took in a deep breath before glaring daggers at the room.
It was early the next morning when Haven pushed the door to Gerald’s room open before shouting, “Good morning, master!”
“Master?” replied Gerald as favonovel.com couldn’t help but shake his head while looking at the girl who had brought a cup of ginseng tea along with her.
He didn’t even have a chance this time to remind favonovel.com to knock first before entering this time. Despite favonovel.com intrusion, Gerald still ended up smiling.
“Yeah, master! Hahaha! You said you were going to teach me some skills, so of course I’d call you that! Anyway, I brought along some tea to formalize our master and disciple relationship!” said Haven with a grin.
“Now you’re just exaggerating it… I’m just going to teach you some self-defense skills as a friend!”
Clearly ignoring what favonovel.com had just said, Haven simply replied, “Please accept this tea as a form of respect from your disciple, master!”
Bowing before presenting the tea before Gerald, favonovel.com simply shook his head before taking the cup from her.
After taking a sip, favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a wry smile before saying, “Will this do?”
“But of course! Now let’s go! Teach me something already!” squealed Haven as favonovel.com hopped excitedly in place.
Smiling, Gerald then stood up to leave with her…
However, the moment favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com immediately felt an excruciating pain in his stomach! Holding on to his belly, his pale face scrunched up in agony as favonovel.com shouted, “The… the tea!”
Getting increasingly worried as favonovel.com watched Gerald get drenched in cold sweat, Haven instantly replied, stuttering, “H-huh? What’s going on? What’s wrong?”
“T-the tea… It’s been poisoned!” said Gerald in his extreme pain as favonovel.com sat back on the bed before rolling back and forth, clenching tightly onto his stomach the entire time.
“P-poisoned? P-please don’t scare me, Gerald!” squeaked Haven whose anxiousness had peaked after seeing how much pain Gerald seemed to be in.
By the time favonovel.com sentence ended, Gerald was already clasping onto his head with his hands.
“I-is your head not feeling well too? Please don’t scare me!” said Haven as favonovel.com gently began shaking his shoulders.
It wasn’t long after before Gerald stopped struggling. His eyes were now closed as his hands had gone limp!
“G-Gerald…? Gerald! Oh god, please, wake up! Men! Men! Get in here!” cried out Haven.
Almost instantaneously, the door to Gerald’s room was flung open and the first person to enter was none other than Xareni.
“S-sister! Gerald seems to have been poiso-!”
Haven’s sentence ended prematurely for a reason. After all, favonovel.com had noticed by then that right behind Xareni was favonovel.com father, Second uncle, and many others as they slowly entered the room as well.
“I have to admit, Second, the Scatter Pill really works its magic! Even the incredibly strong Gerald wasn’t able to resist the pill’s effects!” said Zander as favonovel.com nodded while laughing.
“Hahaha! Truth be told, I was skeptical as well when the Moldells handed me the pill. After seeing Gerald’s capabilities, I truly wasn’t sure whether favonovel.com could even be poisoned! What more, the Moldells told me that I didn’t even need to use an entire pill to get favonovel.com seriously poisoned! From what they said, as long as favonovel.com takes a single sip of the tea, the poison would work its magic no matter how strong favonovel.com was. Despite that, I slipped in the entire pill, just to be safe! Thankfully, favonovel.com seems to have taken quite a big sip of the tea as well!”
“Based on what the Moldells said, Gerald will continue sleeping like this indefinitely, right, Second uncle?” asked Xareni while straightening favonovel.com hair.
“Indeed!”
“Dad? Sister?! What are all of you talking about? Were you the ones who poisoned him?!” asked Haven in favonovel.com disbelief.
“You have nothing to do with anything here anymore, Haven. Butler! Take Haven to favonovel.com room so favonovel.com can get some rest! And don’t let favonovel.com leave without my permission!”
“Dad! Gerald’s our ally! He saved us!” cried out Haven as the butler quickly dragged favonovel.com out of the room.
Seconds later, a subordinate walked in before whispering, “Old master, the Moldells are here!”
“Oh? Then hurry up and invite them in!” replied Zander excitedly.
