Chapter 1680

Author: Mizuki Sei
"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

    Leia could tell that something had happened to Stefan, but their priority right now was to detoxify Renee. "That's enough! Let go!" Leia pulled Xavier's hands off Elijah's collar, then told Neil and Elijah, "Go give the dragon's saliva to Dr. Wagner.""Okay!" Elijah turned around and gave Xavier a look, then sighed and rushed into the manor with Neil.When Owen saw the dragon's saliva, he was in disbelief. It was practically an elixir in medical textbooks and was rumoured to bring people back to life, and Stefan had actually found it. "Great! We have the items—Ms. Everheart can be saved!" Owen didn't waste any time and immediately went to his laboratory to make the antidote for Renee.After a day of research, he finally came up with the antidote and gave it to Renee. After a while, Renee felt much better. Her pain had lessened, and she didn't feel so weak anymore. "It's magical... I feel like I've come alive!" Renee leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes bright. Before this,

    Thankfully, they had managed to fool Renee.After Renee chatted with them for a while, Owen suggested that they let Renee rest. "There are three courses of treatment that she'll take over a span of two weeks. She'll get better with each treatment, but she also needs to rest. Let's not disturb her." "Okay, let's go then." Leia immediately stood up and asked everyone to leave Renee's room.When they reached downstairs and confirmed that Renee was asleep, everyone called Neil and Elijah over and asked them to explain what had happened.Neil had wanted to set off for Dragos immediately with the remainder of the dragon's saliva, but decided he owed them an explanation. Taking a deep breath, he said to everyone, "In order to get the dragon's saliva, Mr. Hunt climbed our dragon statue, the most sacred thing in my clan. What he did infuriated the villagers, and if they're going to punish him by clan laws… They'll cook and eat him, sacrificing him to the ancestors to pacify the dragon's wr

    Neil lowered his head, trembling in fear. He glanced at Elijah pleadingly. "Mr. Young, please help me. I did what you all told me; I didn't do anything wrong." "Mr. Stuart, it was my decision, not Neil's. Punish me if you want, but leave him out of this." Elijah closed his eyes, preparing for Xavier's attack. He had expected such a reaction when he made that choice. Stefan and Renee had both been on the verge of death, and Elijah had chosen to save Renee because he knew that was what Stefan would do. If he chose to save Stefan and lost the dragon's saliva, he would have lost the chance to save Renee, and Stefan would have suffered even more. Elijah didn't want to see Stefan have such regrets."Elijah, you're Stefan's most trusted subordinate. How could you betray him? Why?" Xavier's fury turned into confusion. He knew Elijah's loyalty towards Stefan was stronger than Xavier's friendship with Stefan; Even if everyone had abandoned Stefan, Elijah would never do such a thing. "I did

    Quinton and Xavier rushed to Dragos with their men, and soon surrounded the tiny village from all directions. They came in large groups of professionals and elites, and had weapons aimed at the village from the sea, land, and sky. It looked like they would annihilate the village if the villagers refused to let Stefan go. Dragos' villagers regarded themselves as the descendants of the dragon, so all of them, regardless of age, stubbornly protected their village.Just as both parties were about to fight, Neil cried and got down on his knees between them. "Everyone just calm down, okay? We don't have to do this. Please don't fight!"Silas Drago, the head of the clan, led the villagers. All of them held spears, and they waved their weapons as they shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!""Dad, you're the head of the clan and the most rational person here. Please listen to me… We can't afford to offend them. Just let Mr. Hunt go. They'll also put the dragon's saliva back, so just forget about all

    Silas angrily looked ahead. "Not only do they have guns, but they also have cannons and other terrible weapons. I know our village will be doomed if they aim even one of those at us… but we've always been living on top of the mountains away from the world. We never start conflicts, but there are always wicked people coveting our village treasures. If we compromise this time, they'll push their luck next time, and then our village will really be doomed. We're the descendants of dragons, so we must protect it. They've disrespected our dragon, so we have to fight to the death. We won't let them step into the village unless they kill all of us!" At that point, Silas turned and ordered his villagers, "Get ready to fight! Attack!" The hundreds of villagers yelled and roared, shooting arrows with fire towards Quinton and Xavier.Chase quickly blocked Quinton from the onslaught and said desperately, "Mr. Everheart, they're crazy! We can't reason with them. Just go back first, and let us han

    Chase and Elijah objected to Silas' suggestion."It's too risky for Mr. Everheart and Mr. Stuart to go into the village. The villagers might even hold them hostage. It's too dangerous!" "Yeah, we'll lose our advantage once they enter the village. We can't even fight back if anything happens. I think we'd better not take the risk..."Xavier frowned and wondered if he should agree. Their concerns were valid—the villagers were barbarians beyond the reach of the law, so promises and morality would mean nothing to them. If he impulsively went with them, he would be at their mercy. It was a great risk. "I'll go with you," Quinton said to Silas calmly. He bypassed the crowd and approached Silas."Are you willing to?" Silas was taken aback, not expecting them to be that trusting and sincere. "I've got nothing to fear—I believe that the descendants of dragons aren't cunning people who would go back on their word," Quinton remarked. He had escaped death many times and was not afraid of

    Silas was still angry, but remained silent because Xavier had intimidated him.Seeing that, Neil continued, "You're right, Mr. Stuart. We have our differences, and I think the best course of action right now is for everyone to calm down and take a step back." Everyone remained silent, in agreement with Neil.Then, Neil added, "We ask that Mr. Stuart and Mr. Everheart come into the village to talk to us alone. I know you both are concerned, and it's normal for you to be. Mr. Stuart, please tell us what your condition is, and we'll try our best to fulfill it if we can." Then, he carefully looked at Silas. "Dad, what do you think?"Silas didn't want to make a scene. If these men destroyed the village, Dragos' centuries-old legacy would end because of him, and it would be a great sin. Hence, he finally yielded. "Fine. What's your condition?""I can go into your village with you, but your daughter has to be kept as a hostage on our side until we reach a successful negotiation," Xavier

    Quinton and Xavier followed the large group of villagers and climbed up several slopes to reach Dragos, which was on the top of the mountains. The place of their negotiation was a flat ground at the entrance of the village, which stood at the top of a cliff. Both Quinton and Xavier had initially disliked each other, but now, they had become allies."Damn, these people really are cavemen! Be careful, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Renee if you fall and kill yourself." Xavier grumbled as he pulled Quinton away from the edge of the cliff.Quinton glared at Xavier and whispered, "I was just looking for escapes in case they go back on their word and attack us.""I don't think they'd dare to. After all, the village head's daughter is in our hands!""You forget that they don't think like us, and I doubt they'd be merciful considering Stefan has disrespected their God. They worship that dragon, so they might just sacrifice Silas' daughter to take revenge." "What should we do then?

    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
