Chapter 1672

Author: Mizuki Sei
Gravel rolled down the cliff, and Neil's body started slipping down the cliff. Just as he thought all hope was lost, a light shone ahead, and a few villagers with torches rushed over. "Great! Someone's coming!" Neil shouted for help in the direction of the light. "Help! Save us!"

When the villagers heard his cries for help, they quickly ran over. "Ah, it's Neil! It's Neil!" When the villagers saw Neil and Stefan, they went over to help pull Stefan up.

"Whew, how dangerous! If we fell, it would be over for us." Neil lay on the ground, taking deep breaths. He glanced at the bottomless cliff anxiously, realizing just how close he had been to death.

"Thank you." Stefan dusted himself off. In comparison with the frightened Neil, he looked a lot calmer. It was as if he hadn't almost died. "I'll remember your kindness today and repay you with a big reward one day."

"Don't say that. I'm your guide—I'm responsible for your safety. It's what I should do." Neil spoke politely, full of respec

    Stefan's eyes brightened and he eagerly asked, "Can you take me there to get some? My wife has been poisoned, and I need it to save her. If you can take me there to get some, I'll satisfy any request you and the villagers have." "We're doing fine as we are. We don't need an outsider like you trying to poke your nose into things." Easton glared at Stefan fiercely. "The dragon's saliva is a treasure belonging to my tribe, so how can we just give some of it to an outsider? If you keep this up, you'll be punished by our tribe's laws. For your information, my tribe doesn't belong to any administrative region, so we don't have to take responsibility if we want to hack you into pieces." Easton wasn't just saying that to scare Stefan—Dragos was a small society with a long history, and they had their own rules unbound by any laws. They were similar to the ancient cannibal tribes of Zambawi. Stefan had entered the village on his own initiative, which had infuriated the villagers. Hence, he was

    "Mr. Abdon, don't worry—I'm also a villager of Dragos. I want our village to be safe, I was just a little impulsive today. I'm sorry..." Neil bowed to the villagers politely, then turned and said to Stefan, "Let's go, man. I told you this wouldn't work.""Okay, I understand." Stefan nodded.The both of them turned around and walked out of the village as the villagers watched.Stefan stopped when the torches were almost out of sight and asked Neil seriously, "This show has gone on long enough. Can we go back now?" "It isn't a show. I really do want to take you out of the village." Neil gave Stefan an awkward look and fished out the bank card with the large sum of money that he had accepted. "I'll return the money to you. I don't want you to get hurt by the villagers.""Excuse me?" Stefan frowned, his expression turning icy. He felt like Neil had fooled him. He wouldn't have left if Neil had told him that from the beginning. On the contrary, he would have tried to persuade that eld

    "What? You... Are you still going up the mountains?" Neil's eyes widened, and he said in awe, "You're fearless!""I've made myself very clear." Stefan twisted the towel around his head that was drenched in sweat, and after taking a deep breath, he was about to set off again. Neil watched as Stefan walked away, feeling guilty. "Hey, wait!"Stefan stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?""I don't want to be your guide, but I can give you a map." Neil took out a notebook and drew something on a page, then tore it off and gave it to Stefan. "The terrains in Dragos are very complicated. This is a rough map of the village, and I'm guessing the dragon's saliva you want is in the memorial chamber. However, that place is at the highest point of the mountain, and it's also in the most complex cave. Our legends say that the ancestral dragon met his beloved woman there, and that was also where they built their family. That's how Dragos came along." "Really?" Stefan was overjoyed and acc

    Stefan hid behind a rock, waiting for them to change shifts. He knew the security would be the weakest at that time. He'd heard from Neil that their guards had a ritual—they would perform a Dragon Dance, their ethnic dance, when they wanted to change shifts.Soon, the six guards at the cave and the other six guards who were taking over started dancing, and Stefan took that opportunity to sneak into the cave through a side door. The cave was small but deep, and there was only one lamp in the dark cave. It was a karst cave with unique stalactites that were shaped like the 12 zodiac animals—pig, dog, chicken, goat, tiger, and so on."I'm sure there must be a dragon here since it's one of the twelve zodiacs." Stefan eagerly walked into the deepest part of the cave. He could hear the sound of running water from time to time, and it sounded like the cry of a dragon. The deepest part of the cave was the highest part of it, and there was a stalactite there more than ten meters high. It w

    Unexpectedly, Stefan had successfully snuck into the memorial chamber, and he'd even climbed onto the dragon's neck and taken the dragon's saliva, which was the clan's treasure. Neil was shocked, and felt like he was about to pass out."Neil, you came just in time! Help me take this." Stefan held the cauldron with one hand and clung to the dragon's body with the other. The climb down wouldn't be easy, and he was also afraid of spilling the liquid in the cauldron, so he was relieved to see Neil."No, I don't want to." Neil looked up at Stefan and squatted there arrogantly. "I can't do such a thing to betray my clan. They'll kill me if they find me out.""I know you'll help me." Stefan handed the cauldron to Neil. "If not, you wouldn't have given me the map or risked coming here. I'm begging you—please take good care of this cauldron and give it to my assistant. My wife's life depends on it." Stefan seemed to have realized that he wouldn't be able to escape, and knew he could depend o

    A day had passed, and the atmosphere in Everheart Manor was tense. Everyone in the manor looked solemn."Today is the last day. Where's Stefan?" Owen looked up at the calendar on the wall in the living room, and a worried sigh escaped him."It's hard to tell." Quinton clenched his fists, then scoffed, "I've always said that he's just an incapable pretty boy. Don't count on him—we have to come up with something else."Owen hung his head in regret. "If I hadn't told him about the four herbs, he wouldn't have risked his life searching for them, and things wouldn't have ended up like this. We didn't get the herb, and now he's missing." "It's too late to say that now!" Xavier slammed his fist on the table and snarled, "What kind of a doctor are you? Are you trying to save lives or end them? Stefan wanted to dig people's eyes out because of your words, and now, thanks to you, we don't even know if he's alive!" He stood up and grabbed Owen's collar fiercely. "Tell us the truth—who the he

    Quinton staggered back in shock. "How... could you...""What?" Xavier demanded stubbornly. "We aren't related, so I can say what I want! Don't think that I'll feel sorry for you—you're just an outcast, and if it wasn't for Stefan, I would have dealt with you ages ago!""That's enough!" Leia had been keeping silent, but she couldn't take it anymore. She got to her feet and pushed Xavier away. "You're upset because your first love has suffered—we get it.. Just stop taking out your frustrations on innocent people! Yes, others might not know about the conflict between Quinton and Stefan, but as Stefan's friend, you should know better. There's no right or wrong between them—just defeat or victory. If Quinton was still harboring a grudge against Stefan, don't you think he would have let him die when he saw him drowning in the Southern Sea?" Xavier looked at Leia, and calmed down a little. "I don't know about that, but I would never forgive someone who blinded and nearly killed me." "Bu

    "I'm not, but you are!" Leia snapped furiously. "You're wrong—I'm the smart one who calls out lovestruck fools!" Xavier sneered.Both Owen and Quinton automatically took a step back and watched their fight. Honestly, it looked like a lovers' quarrel… and it was rather sweet.At that moment, a servant hurried into the room. "They're back! They're home!""They're back?" Both Leia and Xavier immediately stopped arguing, then childishly rushed to the door, each trying to outrun each other."I knew Stefan could do it! He could even find a mythical item… What a guy!" As Stefan's first fan, Xavier easily outran Leia and was the first to reach the door to welcome them.However, to his confusion, only Elijah and a stranger were walking towards them slowly. "Mr. Stuart!" When Elijah saw Xavier, his eyes glistened with unshed tears. He looked exhausted, and anyone looking at him could tell that things had not gone smoothly for them. "Where's Stefan? I don't… see him." Xavier looked aro

    Sophia was somewhat disappointed. After all, both families were competing against each other explicitly and implicitly. They should have fought against each other long ago, but nothing ever happened.Fortunately, both families were safe. After all, the Hunt family was not an easy target. Even if the Baldwin family attacked them with the Tiger and Dragon, the Hunt family probably had a superior backup. For example, they might possess a more elite mercenary army or a regular army. "I don't want to make things worse…" Justin paused, feeling complicated. "At the very least, I don't want to do that before I get to the bottom of things. I don't want it to end up unsalvageable." He just wanted to ensure that Renee was safe and get an explanation from her. "I know you've gone easy on her. Are you afraid that things might get difficult for her?" Sophia patted his shoulders. "Just do what you want. Follow your heart. You have my support, regardless of the choice you make." During the en

    After listening to Sophia's words, Justin began contemplating. He wondered if he had misunderstood things and if Phoenix was in danger. As he imagined various kinds of situations, anxiety surged in him. Justin flexed his fingers and said solemnly, "No, I have to go to Beach City right away!""Go ahead. I'll go with you. You can't go alone. After all, Beach City is the Hunt family's territory. We have to bring some manpower with us…" Sophia glanced at Francine and said secretly, "Go and ask your grandpa for an army. We're going with an army. Even if Stefan is arrogant, he can't do anything about us since the army will protect us.""Grandpa already gave me the most elite army. This is the token." Justin fished the token out to reassure Sophia."Oh my gosh!"Sophia's eyes lit up when she saw it."This is Tiger and Dragon! Your grandpa trained them. Although there's only a hundred people in this army, all of them are the best among the best. They won't pale in comparison to the me

    "I guess." After a pause, Alexander said casually, "My father and his father were best friends, so our families were close when I was still young. Your father and I were close playmates during our childhood."In the past, Timothy and Maurice retired from the battlefield and went to Beach City. They started their businesses and families. Their business went well as they kept competing against each other, and both families were close.When Alexander was born, both families stopped getting so close. It might be because of their different interests or some other reason. Both Timothy and Maurice still got together during festivals, but the younger generation rarely had anything to do with each other. When Stefan came, the relationship between both families grew more distant. There was even some secret competition and conflicts of interest."Really?" Quinton's eyes lit up, and he became less fierce. He asked curiously, "What kind of a person was he? Did anything interesting happen durin

    "Of course not!" Alexander slowly drank his coffee, then said sincerely to Jack, "To be honest, I secretly called my son last night and asked if he did it. He told me that he didn't know anything. Plus, he was having a meeting at the headquarters when that happened. Later, I asked the several shareholders who had attended the meeting that day. They told me my son was in the conference room that day and never left. How could he take her away?""Really?" Jack looked at Alexander doubtfully. "Is it possible that the shareholders conspired with your son to lie to you? Who could it be if not him?" Stefan was the only one who had the motive to do so. Besides, he was the only one who was capable of doing so. Other than him, they couldn't think of any other person. Besides, the makeup artist was an eyewitness."Hey, I told you he didn't. I know him the best. If he had taken her away, he wouldn't have kept it a secret like this. He would have announced it to the world." Alexander felt that

    "Let go!""No, I won't!""If you don't, you'll regret it!""Just go ahead! I'm not afraid of you!"Justin could hear the fierce argument in the yard of the guest area from afar. When he entered the yard, he could see his mother fighting against Francine. Francine and Sophia were gripping each other's hair, refusing to let go. They kept increasing their force, adamant on not giving up. "Your son took my daughter-in-law away and openly said such a nasty thing! I must beat you up today!" Sophia gnashed her teeth and fiercely gripped Francine's hair. She was still furious because of the news. After thinking it through, she couldn't accept it. Hence, she ran to the guest room to vent her anger on Francine. After all, Stefan was Francine's son. It must be Francine's fault that Stefan was so awful. Since Sophia couldn't beat Stefan up at the moment, she decided to beat up Francine instead. Unexpectedly, Francine was not a pushover. From a young age, she was famous in the rich ci

    "I…" After a pause, Justin shook his head. "I honestly don't know what I want to do now.""Do you hate her?" Austin asked. "No…" Justin looked gloomy. "I'll never hate her. I'm just disappointed in her. Why did she abandon me again?" Seeing his only grandson being so gloomy, Austin heaved a long sigh. "Calm down. I'll get people now to catch her. I must make her marry you.""No!" Justin shook his head. "I can't force her. She'll never forget Stefan. I just flattered myself and thought that I could change her. Served me right! Things got this way because of me.""You're always so kind. You don't act like my grandson." Given his past character, Austin would have scolded Justin fiercely. But for the first time, he saw how gloomy Justin was. He couldn't bring himself to be harsh. Besides, he wouldn't attack the Hunt family just to do Justin a favor. He wasn't keen on making too big a mess."I'm sorry, Grandpa," Justin apologized solemnly. "I know I've always let you and my fami

    Justin appeared casual and open-minded, but he was in truth a proud man who struggled to accept his failures. He also rarely failed in his life. He always did his best in everything and rose to the top. His only two failures were when Renee defeated him.The first time was during the Global Hacker Championship. Someone named Phoenix defeated him for the first time. The second failure was when she abandoned him. Suddenly, Sophia snapped her fingers and patted Justin's shoulders. "Oh, I've come up with a good method! Wait and see! I'll avenge you."Justin became confused and anxious. He was not at all happy when he heard that, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what are you going to do?""Leave it. I'll deal with it my way."Then, Sophia said to the servant at the door, "What are you waiting for? Come in and clean up the mess." The servant held her breath in fear to see Sophia holding a blade. She kept her head low as she entered the room to clean up the mess.Justin was frustrated.

    "How outrageous! I can't take this! I'm flying to Beach City now to kill him!" Sophia wasn't joking. She was trying to find a knife to kill Stefan because of this mess."Where's the Red Blade your grandpa gave you? That thing is sharp! We can chop off people's heads with it. Give it to me now!"Justin stood behind her, unsure how to dissuade her. He was afraid she might hurt him accidentally, so he whispered, "You asked me to calm down, but what about you?" "Calm down?" Sophia turned to him, her face flushed from anger. "He's already humiliated us openly. It's useless to calm down!""We can't see that. It's just news."Justin tried to make her calm down, as he knew that she had a bad temper too. When he got angry, he would just destroy his things at home. However, things would get out of hand if his mother got livid and informed Austin about the issue. "Don't take my words seriously. The Hunt family is trying to declare war on us. They're going to fight us. How can we do noth

    Some people felt that Stefan's reply was friendly, and that he didn't want to fight the Baldwin family. Some felt that Stefan's reply was a provocation for the Baldwin family. As the culprit, he claimed that he felt sorry for them. It was a great humiliation for the Baldwin family. "He's outrageous!" Justin roared.When he read the report, he shared the same thoughts as some of the netizens. He felt that Stefan was openly mocking him. As the winner, Stefan mocked him for failing to keep his fiancee. Justin grew mad and smashed everything in the room."What's going on?" Sophia was carrying some soup for her dear son. When she saw that scene, she became worried.A servant was standing outside the door with her head low and carefully replied, "Mr. Baldwin got angry after reading the response from Mr. Stefan Hunt. We're too afraid to stop him. Please help us, madam.""The response from Stefan Hunt?" Sophia didn't pay attention to the relevant news and had no idea what it was
