Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158 Help
"You!"
Upon hearing these words, Zain Ellsworth took a step forward.
Swoosh!
But before he could speak, a powerful gust of wind struck him, sending him flying.
"You don’t understand the rules. How many times have I told you? If there’s a next time, I’ll send you to reunite with them!" Elaenor Wood said coldly.
"Yes!"
After hearing this, Zain Ellsworth wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and honestly stepped back.
He naturally knew who Elaenor Wood was referring to.
It was those Supreme Elders within Boulevard, frozen in ice.
"Honestly, I’m very angry." Elaenor Wood picked up the teacup, poured it full for Julius Reed, then topped up his own.
"I heard this news as soon as I left Boulevard. Moreover, I came to Gonzalez City with two purposes. Firstly, to catch up with you. Secondly, to kill Mad Dragon."
Just after leaving Boulevard, he had received news that Medicine King Valley had been wiped out.
And the murderer, Mad Dragon, was also in Gonzalez City.
Thus, Elaenor Wood, along with Zain Ellsworth, traveled thousands of miles to this city.
Ready to see for himself, who was capable of annihilating Medicine King Valley.
But he didn’t expect that it would turn out to be an old friend of his.
"Now? It seems like all the new grudges and old resentments are added up together." Julius Reed picked up the teacup, but hadn’t started drinking yet.
"Hey! This is a café, you two aren’t even drinking coffee, don’t hog the seats for no reason!"
A fat man with a big head, accompanied by a female college student, walked in.
Seeing the three men, he spoke rudely.
"Can you make some space?"
Slap!
He took out five hundred bucks from his pocket and threw it on the table, "Hurry up, I’m tired!"
Not just tired, but thirsty!
"Here’s a cup of tea. If you drink it, I will leave immediately. But there’s one thing, don’t blame me for not warning you." Elaenor Wood said with a faint smile, "It contains a deadly poison."
"Wow! Are you trying to scare me?" The fat man picked up the teacup, snorted, and said, "I’ll drink it to show you."
But before he could bring the tea to his lips.
His hand, at the moment it touched the teacup, began to rot at a visible rate.
"What! What’s going on!"
Thud!
In three seconds, the man’s hand turned to dry bone.
And the teacup fell to the ground.
The wooden floor of the café was instantly corroded by the spilled tea, creating a large hole.
"Ah..."
The man screamed and ran frantically outside.
But no sooner had he left the café than he turned into a skeleton.
A pile of dry bones.
Not a bit of flesh remained.
"I thought... they were quite resistant to poison..."
Elaenor Wood paused, looking at Julius Reed, "Now, it’s quiet. I really didn’t expect that you would turn out to be Mad Dragon. The holy master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, why would you need a false identity?"
The Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, Elaenor Wood naturally knew.
For hundreds of years, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance had been a leader among the world’s sects.
The holy master was akin to a divine being.
Immortal, everlasting.
Nobody would have expected the holy master to have any connection with a rogue leader in the martial world.
"I have my reasons." Julius Reed leaned back in his chair, arms crossed in front of him, "Since we have met, it’s better to be clear."
"To be honest. I want to kill you," Elaenor Wood spoke indifferently, "but I am somewhat reluctant to do so."
"Centuries ago, I schemed against you, and you bearing a grudge against me is nothing but normal," Julius Reed nodded, "But I’m curious, why haven’t you died, and how have you managed to live till today? Moreover, you appear even younger than before."
The memory from a hundred years ago, though somewhat blurry,
he vividly remembered that back then, Elaenor Wood was a person in his thirties.
Now, he looked to be in his twenties.
"You’re mistaken," Elaenor Wood shook his head, "When you schemed against me, I schemed against you too. I heard you lost your memory and were betrayed by your employees. Is that the case?"
A smile filled his eyes.
Despite their deep-seated enmity, the two did not get angry or clench fists,
but spoke amiably and calmly, as if they were friends.
"I guessed as much," Julius Reed bitterly smiled and pointed at Elaenor Wood, "In this whole world, the only person who could poison me is probably you. But, that would be only if I was careless and underestimated the situation."
The memory loss was definitely caused by some drug.
But Julius Reed was immune to hundreds of poisons, so how could he be poisoned?
"You guessed? I thought you didn’t know," Elaenor Wood spread his hands, "Honestly, people call me a genius, but I have no schemes against you. Back when we had our drug contest, I used the strongest poison on you! And then, every day, your food and daily routine involved this drug. Hundreds of years have passed, and I even thought you must have died long ago. But I only realized when I woke up that the drug had accumulated in your body for centuries, causing your memory loss!"
He sighed, a look of frustration on his face.
"You are strong, I must admit."
"The only ones who could take care of my daily meals were my personal maids. It seems, some of them were bought by you."
Julius Reed narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Good strategy. But I’m more curious about how you have managed to live till now." 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
"Preservation. Ever heard of a refrigerator? The thing you use to store stuff. I was frozen for centuries, then I broke out of the ice."
Elaenor Wood stood up, looking out the window, "You and I, only one can live."
"Indeed. It seems that I should have killed you long ago," Julius Reed also stood up.
"Do me a favor," he said, "In this world, perhaps only you can help me."
"Oh? Let’s hear it then."
Elaenor Wood turned to face Julius Reed, "If possible, I would like to help."
"I have a friend, female, she’s struck by your damn poison and will need intercourse to break it," Julius Reed spoke, slightly helplessly, "You really are up to no good."
"Heh, and I thought it was something major? No problem, where is she?"
Elaenor Wood let out a light chuckle.
"Come with me."
Julius Reed quickly left the café.
After he had left, Zain Ellsworth puzzledly asked, "Medicine God, why didn’t you kill him?"
"Do I need to explain my actions to you?" Elaenor Wood’s expression darkened, annoyed, "I can’t kill him right now. After not seeing each other for hundreds of years, we needed to duel. The method to kill him is difficult, I’m working on it."
With that, he too left.
...
"What happened to Lily?" Quella Radcliffe and Lillian Tompson stood beside Lily Jorden, somewhat at a loss.
Night Fairy placed a hot towel on Lily Jorden’s forehead, "She fainted when she came in from outside."
Several women huddled anxiously around Lily Jorden.
"Where’s Julius?"
Quella Radcliffe asked.
"He went out to clear his mind," replied Night Fairy Gabriel Abernathy somewhat helplessly.
But just at that moment,
Julius Reed pushed the door open.
Behind him, stood an old and a young man.
The old man was dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit, his hair white.
The young man looked to be in his twenties.
As the two entered, the temperature in the room instantly dropped.
"Is this..."
Quella Radcliffe saw the newcomers and quietly asked, "Your friend?"
"No, I am his enemy."
Elaenor Wood gently gestured on his neck, "The enemy who massacred my entire family."
