18 Did You Drugged Her? (1/2)

”Halt! This is Lord Cromwell's private villa! Trespassers shall be met with force!” One of the two guards guarding the entrance, shouted.

SMACK**

”Idiot, that's the Lord's most esteemed guest! Did you do your homework?” The other guard smacked him in the head and warned before making way for Leon with a smile, ”Please enter with ease, sir Leon.” The guard said courteously.

Leon nodded and continued rushing in.

The guard's smile disappeared after Leon entered the villa.

”If you want to lose your job, don't drag me down with you, alright?”

The other guard rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.

”Sir Leon was approaching us very quickly. How could I have gotten a clear look at who it was?” Feeling wronged.

...

Inside the villa, Leon placed Lina on a sofa. Her nose bleed had dried up from her high temperature body.

Leon shot a few acupuncture points to try directing the untamed energy out of her body through her orifices in order to ease her symptoms.

Leon proceeded to go fetch some water as to hydrate her body. Her burning body would've dried up her body fluids and make her dehydrated.

When Leon came back with a jug of water and cup, Lina was currently stripping herself.

Leon was shocked and placed his jug and cup down before rushing over to stop her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Their presence had made quite the ruckus.

”Is that you, grandpa...?” Lynne came downstairs, wondering what the noise was all about before spotting the two.

”Huh? What the hell are you trying to do in my house!?”

Her favorable impression went bad once more when she saw the scene.

Leon was grabbing Lina's wrists, while her top was half taken off.

Leon was a bit stumped for words. Their position did look a bit ambiguous and could invite misunderstandings.

Noticing his silence, Lynne came up closer and saw Lina's red complexion and weird squirming behavior. Her soon felt disgusted with Leon as she thought she understood the situation.

”Are you a man? How can you drug her? What were you trying to do just now?” She questioned with gritted teeth.

Being a girl, she absolutely despised men who uses forceful methods to bed women. What was worse was that he had rejected her grandpa's offering of her to him and instead brought another woman to their home to do that kind of thing.

Leon felt the situation was turning bad and quickly explained the situation.

Lynne was startled and tried to calm herself down. She needed to stop jumping to conclusions.

”What's wrong with her?”

”Her body can't absorb the energy from the beast meat and its burning her up from the inside. Where is your grandpa?”

”Grandpa? He... might still be in the pill room.”

”Hm? Never mind then. I suppose he is trying to concoct the True Awakening Pill himself.”

Lynne laughed awkwardly. It was indeed the case since Leon had left them the revised recipe and her grandpa still hasn't given up his dream of being a full fledged alchemist.

Leaving behind the recipe behind was a sign of immense trust between them. With the recipe in hand, they would be able to refine the pills themselves and would no longer need Leon and could break their business contract. But they weren't ingrates who burns the bridge after crossing it. They wouldn't dare to. Leon was still young and full of potential. He also had this powerful unknown 'master'.

”Is there anything I can help with?”

Leon thought for a bit writing down some herbs on a piece of paper.

”Can you fetch the herbs listed?”

Lynne looked at the list of herbs with curiosity.

”Are you going to concoct a pill to cure her?”

”Yeah, I can only resort to pills since I don't have any acupuncture needles. Otherwise it would be a simple matter to solve.”

Lynne blanked for a bit.
