NovelOnlineChapter 1868
The man's voice wavered as he looked at Matthew in shock after hearing the reply. "W-What kind of medicine is
that?"
"Purple spider lily," Matthew calmly answered.
Suddenly, the man's eyes widened in disbelief. "What is a purple spider lily?"
Matthew replied, "It is an extremely uncommon species of spider lily, also known as lycoris, and its color is
typically red. Purple spider lily is a heterogeneous species of spider lily that is highly poisonous, but it can be
used as an antidote. However, it is impossible to locate this plant because it can only thrive in environments with
extremely polluted air. It has been sought after for many years, but no one has ever found it outside of Orleans.
This plant is so relatively rare that it is even more unusual to find ten stalks of Thousand-Year Ginseng growing in
the slocation."
After hearing the explanation, the man's clenched fists finally relaxed, and his eyes turned red. He inhaled
deeply and quickly glanced at Melvin before sitting next to him. "Alright. Finda place to stay!" As soon as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelvin heard that, he leaped out of his seat excitedly. "Look! | didn't lie to you, did I? Haha!... Can you ensure
this kid's safety?" he exclaimed.
The man spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression unruffled. "I will protect him with my life!"
In response, Melvin laughed even more heartily.
However, Matthew was still unable to make head or tail of the situation. "Melvin, what's going on?"
Afterward, Melvin jogged his memory and mentioned with a grin, "That's right, | forgot to formally introduce the
both of you. This is Salazar Whitford, the successor to the Whitford Wing Chun boxing. Thirty years ago, his
father reigned as King of Wing Chun and ruled with his iron fists. From now on, he will serve as your bodyguard."
As soon as Matthew heard this, his eyes widened in shock. Although Salazar's identity remained a mystery to
him, he had the impression that whoever Salazar was, he was no pushover. He could feel the aura emanating
from Salazar's exertions and was on the verge of suffocating. Is this intimidating man going to be my bodyguard?
"Uh, a-are you sure? Mr. Whitford, I-" He sounded awkward.
Salazar interrupted him, "Dr. Larson, you don't have to say anything else. I'm not interested in your secrets, and
the information you gaveis adequate. All you need to know is that the skull in the box belongs to my father.
At that time, someone used the method you shared with us to seal the poison in his bones and save his life. I'm
here to repay the favor!"
After hearing Salazar's startling statement, Matthew had a flash of insight. Is he referring to my father, Shane
Larson? Is it possible that my dad sealed the poison in his father's bones to save his life?
As he gave it sserious thought, he concluded that it was possible. After all, this type of treatment is beyond
the scope of any ordinary doctor. Since my dad and | are the inheritors of the jade pendant, we are the only ones
with knowledge of this treatment. Therefore, my dad must have been responsible for saving Salazar's father. So,
he has cto protectin return for my dad's kindness!
With that in mind, Matthew realized what was happening and was no longer wary of Salazar, and he cast a
glance in Melvin's direction. Melvin knows my identity, which is why he is helping me. Following today's events,
my assumptions about Melvin's awareness of who | am are accurate. Moreover, he must also know quite a bit
about my dad; otherwise, how would he have convinced Salazar to come? The only catch is that | need to find
out how powerful Salazar is.
