Jonah began to beam with joy at the turn of events. He felt so fulfilled as he was able to successfully push the blame onto Roderick, and the Big Four agreed with him.

He wasn't the only happy one; Clara and her people were also included.

At this moment, they all couldn't wait to see Roderick face serious punishment and be ultimately humiliated.

Arnold Taylor's face remained frowned as he turned a cold glare at Roderick. "I hereby announce..."

He hadn't completed his statement when Kate's voice

    Meanwhile, at this moment, Roderick was heading to Glacia City in his car, cruising with a heart filled with joy.What other joy beats getting closer to your journey for revenge?The only thing surprising him now was why he hadn't realized that South City would be so helpful in obtaining the rare roots he had been searching for all this time.In the end, he concluded that it was simply fate.All that mattered now was that he had been able to get all the rare roots he needed, and treating Oliver Santos was his next course of action.An hour later, Roderick arrived in Glacia City and was driving past Tuchel Avenue.He had just glanced at their ongoing project when he looked across the street and saw a familiar face in the distance. It was none other than Caleb Houston.He saw Caleb shaking hands with some men dressed in well-tailored suits. It looked as if they had just finalized an agreement.Roderick parked his car and got out to confirm if what he had seen was correct.Without a doub

    Roderick slept in South City for the night, and the next morning, he was prepared to leave for Glacia City.After completing his preparations, he was about to get into his car when Trent suddenly stopped him."Mr. Holmes, Raphael said he has a gift for you."Roderick slowly turned to look at the young man. He was surprised; he thought he was supposed to be the one giving a gift to take his position, but it turned out the other way around.He was still in the middle of his surprise when Raphael brought forward a wooden box and gave it to him."You mentioned yesterday that you needed Water Lotus Heart. Here it is."What?!Roderick was shocked to his feet. He didn’t want to believe he had heard the man correctly.He quickly opened the box and confirmed that it was really the rare root.Roderick didn’t know whether he should burst into tears or start smiling.He only tried his best to keep his emotions hidden at that moment.If only the people before him knew what they had just done for h

    Mr. Cross Senior was already in the middle of madness at that moment. He didn't want to believe that Roderick was just trolling him.He signaled to his guards in the distance and asked them to bring Owen forward.The helpless Owen was brought before Roderick, and the old man asked him,"Here he is. Do you want to tell me you still don't recognize him?!"Roderick walked closer to the pathetic Owen on the floor and stared at him for a moment before answering the old man."No, I didn't recognize him. I'm not mistaken if I say I have never seen him in my entire life until this moment."Ah!Old Mr. Cross was about to lose himself as Roderick was toying with his mind.He didn't even know what to do at that moment.Trent was about to lead Roderick to his car when the old man suddenly fell to his knees and pleaded,"Mr. Holmes, please help my grandson. If a little more time is wasted, he might end up in the grave. Please, save his life."At that moment, Roderick cast a short glance at the old

    Huh?!"Owen! What's wrong with you?!" Mr. Cross Sr. shouted at the top of his voice as he rushed closer to his grandson.However, Owen couldn't hear a thing. It seemed he was close to giving up."Water! Get some water!" the old man ordered his guards immediately as things were about to turn against his grandson.Water was brought and poured over Owen.WAHH!WAHHH!!Only after several rounds of water were poured over him did he slowly open his eyes and wake up."What happened to me, Grandpa?" Owen asked pathetically as he saw the crowd gathered around him."You fainted, boy. Isn't that the poison kicking in?" Mr. Cross Sr. asked in great panic.With a weak nod, Owen answered, "I think your observation is right. My hands are gradually getting cold again.""What?! I thought you were able to neutralize it earlier?" The old man was confused that the poison was really taking effect again.Owen was disappointed in himself for having to explain this to his grandfather."I did nothing, Grandpa

    He has more than butterflies in his stomach now that he only needs one more rare root to treat Oliver Santos.At this moment, Trent stepped forward to congratulate Roderick.Then Roderick replied, "I should appreciate you greatly, Mr. Khun."The old man waved his hand to dismiss Roderick's appreciation.He then said to him, "If the whole city had known that you were the one who taught me how to treat the disease that hit our city back then, they would have been worshipping you since you arrived."Trent could only keep the nonsense Owen Cross and his grandfather were throwing at Roderick to himself.He thought that if they did know who he really was, they wouldn’t have been acting foolish around him.Roderick didn’t even find that a big deal. All that mattered to him now was the rare roots he was able to acquire.Raphael, who had seen Roderick as a rival, didn’t know how his thoughts about him had changed now.He was very sure that if he were in the position to ask Priscilia for what h

    The crowd was in shock that the clarity fruit Roderick requested was a rare herb.They couldn't believe all his excellent work from the beginning was because he wanted to request a rare herb.Wow!They found someone like him strange. However, they were not in a position to tell him what to request and what he shouldn't.In the middle of that, Priscilia spoke up, too."As I promised earlier, please make a request, Mr. Holmes."This was when intense attention was placed on Roderick.Everyone was expecting what Roderick would request this time around.Raphael and Owen had their attention glued to Roderick the most.They already knew what he would request, but they wanted him to mention it first.Roderick, on the other hand, was pondering what he should request.Just then, he asked again, "I can request anything, right?"Priscilia answered with a blushing smile, "Mr. Holmes, I know what's on your mind. I'm assuring you that if you request it, it will be granted."The crowd was shocked tha
