"Yes! That's true! You are really the one to hold responsible for this!""Have you forgotten you also vouched with your life to make yourself accountable if anything goes wrong with Mr. Juan? Now it has happened, and you want to push the blame onto someone else!""Do you think you can fool us? This trouble is yours, and you will be the one to carry it all on your head!"The workers weren't taking it lightly with Owen at all.Not even his bodyguards could stop them now.Owen began to sweat profusely as the workers' rage continued to rise, and they yelled at him.He never expected Roderick to turn the trouble back to him so swiftly and easily.He was thinking of what to say to change the workers' minds at this moment, but he couldn't find anything reasonable.Then, he finally said to them, "It's enough! I accept the trouble for myself. Let me give Mr. Juan another look to see what I can do for his condition.""What nonsense! Haven't you checked on him earlier and ended up being useless?

Enzo turned a deadly stare at Owen and asked, "If you were helpless to help my condition, why did you trust me with the tobacco earlier? Or does that mean your intentions for your visit today were to kill me?!"Huh?!This was exactly what Owen feared, and it had already happened.He never had any ill intentions towards Enzo. But the fact that the tobacco he gave him led to this trouble—there was no explanation he could give to clear himself of it.He could explain his innocence from now until the end of his life, but no one would ever believe him because there was no evidence.Owen quickly protested because Enzo's question wouldn’t just bring trouble to him but war upon his entire family if he failed to speak up."How could I think of harming you, Mr. Juan? You’ve never wronged me in any way. Why would I want you dead?""Whatever you say is useless, Owen. The only thing we know now is that you intended to end Mr. Juan." The head of the workers dismissed Owen's protest."That’s not tru

After they finished worshipping Roderick, they quickly led the way back to the large sitting room where Enzo was groaning in great pain.They found Owen leaning closer to the chubby man, trying to perform magic to help with his condition.He had thought of giving it another try after Enzo made the head-tearing promise.However, just like before, he couldn't help at all.The head of the workers pushed him away as soon as he saw Roderick enter."Get out of the way! Let someone more capable take over!"Roderick remained calm, not caring about whatever drama was going on or the pain Enzo was enduring.Then, the workers who had pleaded with Roderick before entered and said to Enzo, "Mr. Juan, you should thank Mr. White greatly. If not for him, his friend wouldn't have come back to help you."Even though the pain Enzo was going through at that moment wouldn't allow him to speak, he clenched his chest tightly. He gestured at Roderick and Benjamin with his hand, thanking them for having mercy

All the workers at the Juan residence cast deadly stares at Roderick, growing completely suspicious of him as Owen questioned him."You seem to be right, Mr. Cross. You are known to be one of the great talents in your family, yet you were unable to treat Mr. Juan. But it only took this kid a few punches to help Mr. Juan recover. That's highly suspicious!"The head of the workers who had been spitting at Owen's face earlier agreed with his suspicions.He had detested Owen for being useless earlier without considering that Roderick could be the mind behind the trouble their boss was going through.If Owen hadn't mentioned it now, none of them would have thought of it.The rest of the workers butted in, too. They all began to raise various suspicious suggestions about Roderick.Even though most of what they said was meaningless, they had two major reasons for being against Roderick now.First, they wanted to avenge the punches Roderick had given their boss. They found it highly disrespec

'Him?!' Owen screamed in his mind as he cast a hostile glare toward Roderick.He never wanted to believe Enzo meant his words.With what he had just said, did he really expect him to plead with Roderick to seek his freedom from Enzo?How much more humiliating could that be?Not only was he the one who had led him into this trouble, but he would still have to seek his help to gain freedom.Not in this life would Owen make himself plead before Roderick.He was having all those thoughts in his mind when Enzo's voice struck him."Whatever Mr. Holmes says will be final. And I meant my words!"Ah!This is getting serious.Owen didn't know how his heart began to panic.He had thought he wouldn't be moved by Enzo's earlier words, but with how serious he was just now, he didn't want to joke about the trouble he was in.Against Owen's entire will, he didn't know how he turned to Roderick and pleaded with him."Can you please talk to Mr. Juan on my behalf? I never hoped to harm him. Can he just
