Chapter 1223: Chapter 123 Great Gift
Elaenor Wood sat on the spacious bed in the hotel, reading "World History" in her hands.
She had a fondness for history.
To use the past as a mirror.
Moreover, having lost her memory for these few centuries, there indeed were many things she was unaware of.
The principles of the world aren’t much different.
Dynastic succession, the struggle of great nations.
In essence, it’s all the same trivial affairs.
Though the wheels of history roll forward relentlessly,
With each turn of the wheel, it’s a repetition.
Yet those aboard the cart remain blissfully ignorant.
"Medicine God, what is the Saint doing in Star City again?"
Lazaro Ellsworth asked respectfully from the doorway.
He was a loyal servant, who never left Elaenor Wood’s side.
"The Saint, ah..." Elaenor Wood flipped through the pages of the book, engrossed: "No matter what he does, his sole purpose is to find his lost memories. Star City..."
Gazing at the illustrations on the page, Elaenor Wood said casually: "The two we just killed, didn’t they claim to be from the royal court? It’s very likely that the Saint is here for them. But then again, it doesn’t seem like it..."
"I guess it must be," Lazaro Ellsworth said with a face full of loathing: "The dignified leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance stoops to use such despicable means time and again, truly shameless!"
A master should carry themselves with the grace of a master!
In Lazaro Ellsworth’s eyes, Elaenor Wood was the epitome of what a master should be.
Yet here was the Saint, her arch-nemesis who once suppressed the entire world, actually resorting to methods both dishonorable and underhanded!
Disgraceful!
"No matter."
Elaenor Wood said nonchalantly: "The Saint was once the ruler of the world; he does as he pleases and naturally isn’t bound by convention. Don’t judge him with the eyes of ordinary people; doing so will only lead you to stumble."
When masters clash, danger lurks in the shadows.
Elaenor Wood didn’t believe for a second that Julius Reed had nothing better to do than to annoy her.
"Star City must have something the Saint needs even more. Since he’s drawn disaster eastward, it’s nothing but a ploy to use me to tie down the royal court. Thus, the royal court must be insignificant."
Elaenor Wood closed the book and asked with a smile: "Isn’t that right?"
"Hm?"
Lazaro Ellsworth blinked, somewhat bewildered: "I do not know."
"I wasn’t asking you."
Elaenor Wood placed the book on the bedside, walked to the door, and opened it: "Long time no see."
"Long time no see!"
Julius Reed spoke indifferently: "How about it, is the food and lodging to your liking?"
"It’s you!"
Inside the room, it was only when Lazaro Ellsworth heard the voice that he realized Julius Reed had appeared at the door without his knowing!
He was about to take action when he was stopped by Elaenor Wood once again.
"There are some things I do not wish to repeat."
Elaenor Wood put away the white paper fan in her hand, stepped back a few paces, and looked at Lazaro Ellsworth: "Go ahead, see if you can defeat him."
"This..."
Lazaro Ellsworth’s face reddened, and he quickly bowed his head: "It was rash of me, please forgive me, Medicine God."
Defeat him?
Impossible.
Although he was the leading Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley, after witnessing the two’s battle at Shadow Gate, he had completely lost courage.
When immortals fight, even the most skilled mortals can only be cannon fodder.
"You resemble someone."
Julius Reed stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at Lazaro Ellsworth.
His face was full of mockery.
"Who?"
Lazaro Ellsworth couldn’t help but ask.
"In a certain novel, there’s a character named Oak Drive. His first line is, ’You shameless scoundrel, come at me with your life!’" Julius Reed looked at Lazaro Ellsworth: "The next line is, ’Kill me if you dare, I’m not afraid!’ You, you’re so like him."
"You!"
As the Supreme Elder and head of Medicine King Valley, Zain Ellsworth was highly respected on ordinary days!
Even now, when he had become a servant to Elaenor Wood, that was only to be second to one!
Who wouldn’t submit to Elaenor Wood’s heaven-reaching abilities?
Becoming a servant to the Medicine God, Zain Ellsworth even felt honored in his heart.
But today!
He was so humiliated by someone!
"Give me your life!"
With an explosive shout, Zain Ellsworth’s right hand struck out fiercely!
Even a clay Buddha has a three-point temper, let alone the distinguished Supreme Elder and head of Medicine King Valley!
Snap!
The next moment.
Julius Reed’s left fist blocked horizontally while his right hand’s two fingers had already reached Zain Ellsworth’s throat.
Just a little further, and he could break Zain Ellsworth’s neck.
After the battles at Medicine King Valley and Shadow Gate, even though he was possessed by Evil Qi, it had inadvertently caused Julius Reed’s abilities to soar dramatically!
Once, when he had fought with Lazaro Ellsworth, he had to exchange several moves.
But now, facing Zain Ellsworth—
Admittedly, Zain Ellsworth was quite impatient, while Julius Reed seized the right moment, winning with a single move.
"Are you convinced?"
He looked at Zain Ellsworth and said with a faint smile, "Remember to show some respect when you see me in the future!"
"If you want to kill, then kill!" Zain Ellsworth raised his head, eyes filled with hatred.
"Enough!"
Elaenor Wood came over, acting like a peacemaker, and pushed Julius Reed’s hand away: "Don’t stoop to his level."
After speaking, she turned to Zain Ellsworth: "You go out first, we have something to discuss."
Taking a deep breath with reluctance and helplessness, Zain Ellsworth left the room.
Once he was gone, Julius Reed walked to the window, turning his back to Elaenor Wood: "How about it, I’ve been quite generous to you, haven’t I? A five-star hotel with all-inclusive dining."
The Zephyr Hotel was very luxurious.
Moreover, Julius Reed had booked the entire venue!
This was unprecedented since the establishment of the Zephyr Hotel.
"It is nice, but I haven’t been freeloading, I even took care of a bunch of people for you."
Elaenor Wood walked up beside Julius Reed, standing shoulder to shoulder with him: "Star City, what’s the matter?"
"Isabella Warm."
Julius Reed turned to face Elaenor Wood: "The one who poisoned me back then, was it Isabella Warm? But the Bead Pulse, it shouldn’t have been under your command."
"I can’t say," Elaenor Wood replied indifferently: "Whether it was or wasn’t, you’ll have to verify that yourself. But is Isabella Warm in Star City?"
"She should come. So, I’m using you to restrain The North Sea Imperial Court." Julius Reed turned back and looked at Elaenor Wood: "Will you help me?"
"Speak." 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Elaenor Wood didn’t seem surprised: "I can help, but I will take every opportunity to kill you."
"The battle at Shadow Gate, you failed. You also exposed the secret of the Dragon King Ring, at least now I’m on my guard."
Julius Reed pushed open the hotel window, enjoying the coolness of the night.
"Killing you is difficult, but I must try," said Elaenor Wood with a light chuckle: "I thought you would die, but it failed."
"Let’s not talk about that for now, tomorrow I aim to kill you."
Julius Reed looked at Elaenor Wood, very seriously: "You’ll need to cooperate."
"For now, you can’t kill me. After all, there are few who can match my abilities," Elaenor Wood said while playing with a white paper fan in her hand: "At least until you’ve recovered, I definitely won’t sit still and await death."
"Feign death."
Julius Reed frowned: "I need to meet Everton Davenport. Killing you will be my declaration."
"Give me a reason."
Elaenor Wood turned around, closing the fan: "We are enemies, not friends. If you want my help, you need to give me a reason."
"I’ve heard that you are the Sealing Pulse."
As soon as Julius Reed finished speaking, a flash of abnormality crossed Elaenor Wood’s face.
Almost no one knew that!
"Devlin is severely poisoned, and only the two of us can cure him. He dares not come to me, naturally, he will come to you. The secret of the Sealing Pulse and Vein Holder, he is aware of it. But whether you can get it out of him, that depends on your skills."
After speaking, he moved closer to Elaenor Wood’s back: "How substantial is this gift?"
