Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159: Declaration of War
When these words were spoken,
the faces of everyone inside the room wildly changed!
Nelson and Lillian Tompson were the first to block.
A sharp Thousand Blade suddenly appeared in Night Fairy’s hand!
"Don’t be tense."
Seeing the women in front of him on guard, Elaenor Wood extended his hand, indicating everyone to calm down.
"But today, I came to rescue someone."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Lily Jorden, "This lady?"
"Correct."
Julius Reed nodded his head, "I owe you a favor."
"No worries, we don’t care about these. After all, in the end, either I will die by your hand, or you will die by mine." Elaenor Wood smirked slightly and walked towards Lily Jorden.
"Stop!"
Shhhh!
Nelson drew her Longsword, its brilliance directly pressing against Elaenor Wood’s neck.
"Take one more step forward, and I’ll kill you!"
Her voice was icy cold, and her face had an unprecedented solemnity.
"It’s fine." Julius Reed walked over and held Nelson’s hand, sheathing the Longsword.
"He’s here to save Lily Jorden, trust me."
"Are you sure?" Nelson looked at Elaenor Wood warily, still uneasy.
Although she had only briefly interacted with Lily Jorden in the capital, she felt an inexplicable fondness for her.
Now, seeing the youth in front of her enveloped in evil aura, she really did not feel reassured.
Nelson always felt that he came to kill.
Bullshit rescuing!
Full of evil aura, how could he be a good person?
"Trust me." Elaenor Wood said indifferently, "He killed my entire family, he must have had his reasons. I believe he’s not a man who slaughters innocents. Moreover, our conflict concerns no one else. Those who need to be saved, should be saved."
His words left everyone in the room stunned.
Having one’s entire family killed and still being so calm?
"Disperse." Julius Reed waved his hand, and the group reluctantly dispersed.
Elaenor Wood waved his hand, and Zain Ellsworth immediately stood by the door, not following inside.
"My lord, you are blessed with women. If I’m not mistaken, this one must be your wife?" Elaenor Wood looked at Nelson, nodding slightly, "Pure martial breakthrough, excellent talents."
"I don’t believe I could make a mistake twice." He spoke somewhat proudly, "Of all the people in this room, only this lady is not a virgin."
After finishing, he took out a Jade Pendant from his chest and passed it over.
"Fortunately, I prepared two. I think, I won’t be wrong this time. Sister-in-law, I wish you both an early birth of a noble child."
Elaenor Wood wore a proud expression.
The atmosphere, once again awkward.
Nelson’s face turned bright red.
Quella Radcliffe was also looking quite peculiar.
"This is supposed to be medical treatment, such a chatterbox!" Julius Reed broke the awkwardness, walked to the refrigerator, and took out two cans of Coke.
Crack!
He tore open the pull tab and took a big gulp.
Meanwhile, he passed another can to Elaenor Wood, "Give it a try."
"It tastes bad."
Elaenor Wood shook his head, grabbed Lily Jorden’s hand, and muttered, "She really is poisoned."
Shhhh!
The next moment!
His hand pressed on Lily Jorden’s wrist, his middle finger trailing along her arm up to her throat.
"Come out!"
Puh!
Lily Jorden spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, gasping heavily.
"Am I... am I going to die..."
Suddenly awakened, Lily Jorden turned her head, looking at Julius Reed, her expression panicked.
"It’s okay now."
Elaenor Wood stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Coke, "Actually, I prefer water."
"Pour him a cup."
After Julius Reed spoke, Quella Radcliffe hurriedly poured a cup of plain water.
"I don’t like it warm. Having stayed in Boulevard for so long, I always prefer something cold." Elaenor Wood spoke with a smile.
"I’ll get you a cold one."
Just as Julius Reed was about to turn around, Elaenor Wood stopped him, "I can get it myself."
After saying that, he looked at the cup of room-temperature water.
His middle finger lightly touched the rim of the cup.
Crack!
In an instant.
The water in the cup turned into ice.
Even the people around did not see clearly how it happened.
Inside the room, the temperature suddenly dropped.
"Sorry, I couldn’t control it."
Elaenor Wood took out the ice and chewed it loudly.
"Since you’re the Mad Dragon, I don’t need to seek revenge," he said while eating and looking at Julius Reed, "We can settle accounts together."
"Can you tell me who poisoned me in the first place?" Julius Reed asked, pointing at Lillian Tompson behind him, "This lady is also my personal maid."
"Sorry, I can’t talk about that."
Elaenor Wood finished eating the ice and gently licked his fingers, "We have the rest of our lives."
"Thank you for today, but it doesn’t stop me from personally beheading you someday." Julius Reed saw him to the door and said indifferently, "I hope that day doesn’t come too soon."
"Do you need help taking care of those ’flies’?" Elaenor Wood asked, "They can’t kill you, I’m the only one who could."
Such is mutual appreciation, it seems.
Elaenor Wood was confident!
He believed that in this world, only he could kill the Holy Master.
"No need for now, if I could be killed by those people, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for you?" Julius Reed patted Elaenor Wood’s shoulder, "We have the rest of our lives."
"Take care."
Elaenor Wood turned and left.
Just after he left, the temperature in the room rose significantly.
"Who was that person...?" asked Quella Radcliffe with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
Julius Reed shook his head, standing at the door, muttering to himself, "I never thought he would still be alive."
Hundreds of years ago.
When he left Medicine King Valley, he never thought Elaenor Wood could be resurrected.
And it seemed that in the past few centuries, Elaenor Wood had not only not aged but had become even younger.
Even his abilities had become stronger.
Elaenor Wood’s current strength was not inferior to Julius Reed’s.
But he knew that with external forces, he might not necessarily be able to kill Julius Reed.
Many years of secret planning, even causing Julius Reed to lose his memory, had not led to his death.
Two people who currently were unable to kill each other just met simply for a confrontation.
Declaration of war.
A game had just begun.
"Is this going to be troublesome?" Nelson gripped his Longsword, "I’ll go kill him!"
"You can’t beat him."
Julius Reed looked at a perplexed Lily Jorden and walked into the bedroom alone.
"I need a moment by myself."
He took out the ancient book, wanting to look up records about Elaenor Wood.
But there were none.
In fact, Julius Reed himself hadn’t anticipated that Elaenor Wood was still alive.
And had tricked him.
Indeed, the poison had been administered by Elaenor Wood.
His own maid had been increasing the dose over the years.
After hundreds of years, it finally led to amnesia.
Originally, Julius Reed thought this conspiracy of memory loss had started only a few decades ago.
At most, no longer than since Granny Xihua had come to him.
But now it appeared.
It might have been much longer.
"Since you’re not dead, let’s play this game properly."
Snap!
Julius Reed closed the ancient book and stood by the window.
...
"Where is the person?"
In Gonzalez City, inside a hotel.
Elaenor Wood sat on the bed, flipping through a book, and asked aloud.
"Here!"
Zain Ellsworth pushed open the door, shoving a woman to the ground.
"Let go of me! You bastards!"
Elwood Thorneycroft yelled angrily.
"You, called Elwood Thorneycroft?"
Elaenor Wood looked up from his book at the woman in front of him, "I heard you transcribed a recipe?"
After saying that, he lightly pointed his right hand forward.
The ground began to freeze!
