Chapter 1682
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 wrath."
"What?! They're going to cook and eat him?" Xavier yelped, leaping out of his
chair. "What kind of crazy clan are you from? Are they cannibals from Zambawi?
Shouldn't they consider the legal consequences of doing something like that?"
Leia was still bewildered, but when she saw Xavier heading towards Neil to beat
him up, she immediately stood between them and shouted at Xavier," Can you sit
down quietly and listen to him? He's the one who brought the dragon's saliva
here, so we should be thanking him!”
"You think this is all because of him?" Xavier's expression was icy as he glared at
Leia. "Didn't you hear? Stefan risked his life for this, but you so easily forgot
about that. Do you all want him to get into trouble?"
“What? Listen-1 know you're worried about Stefan, we all are. Ren will have a
mental breakdown if anything happens to him, so at least for Ren's sake, I don't
want to see him in trouble!" Leia sighed exasperatedly. She thought that Xavier
was calm and rational, but he always went crazy when it came to Stefan. It made
Leia wonder if he had a secret crush on Stefan.
"Yes, Mr. Stuart, please calm down." Elijah continued helplessly, "Ms. Osborne is
right-we're all worried about Mr. Hunt, and we don't want anything to happen to
him. However, this matter was out of our hands, which is why things turned out
this way. Let Neil finish before we come up with a plan.”
