"Accident? How did it happen?" Knox couldn't help but ask.

Even though it might seem believable that Edmund really had an accident, his face looked swollen in multiple spots as if it had been slammed into something hard repeatedly.

What sort of accident could slam someone's face into a hard object repeatedly, and the victim still survive?

The matter looked quite confusing to them all.

They all expected Edmund to quickly explain how the accident happened right away. However, the elderly man only sighed deeply and nearly burst into tears as he said, "It’s a long story. It would take the whole day if I had to go into it. We can just forget about it and look into the matter on the ground."

Everyone around sighed deeply, feeling quite sorry for him. Even though Edmund was already an aged man, he used to have an attractive and commanding facial expression in the past.

But look what fate had done to him. Not only had he lost his attractive features, but he also had to suffer the trauma for l

    All eyes were glued to Enzo as he took a drag of the tobacco and exhaled an explosive puff.They were all waiting for something shocking to happen, but nothing of that nature appeared. In fact, Enzo's body only showed goosebumps from enjoying the single drag of the tobacco stick.With a mocking smile, Enzo asked Roderick, "Didn't you say a drag of this would cost me more than I ever expected? Why has nothing happened after I took the drag?"Benjamin felt quite disappointed by this question directed at Roderick. Of course, he knew Roderick never said things unless he was very sure about them.But the fact that nothing shocking seems to have appeared after Enzo’s drag now makes what he said earlier seem like nonsense.Meanwhile, Roderick remained unworried as he answered Enzo, "The fact that nothing is wrong at this moment doesn’t mean you’ll be safe the next moment.""Stop talking nonsense, kid! Are you trying to scare me?" Enzo’s mind instantly became worried.Enzo might be one of the

    "Oh my! Oh my!" Enzo grabbed his head in surprise at the sight of the well-wrapped brown tobacco stick. He couldn't contain the joy in his stomach right now."Owen, did you really get this for me? You must have gone through a lot before you could lay your hands on this!" Enzo was shivering with joy as he picked up the tobacco stick, gazing at it with so much happiness.Owen answered him, "That's right, Mr. Juan. It really cost me a lot to get the brown tobacco stick, but it's worth it. As long as it's for you."Enzo was moved upon hearing this from Owen. He couldn't believe Owen had really climbed hill after hill to get the tobacco stick to impress him.It had been seven years since he had had the same brown tobacco stick. He had tried his best since then to get the tobacco stick, but his efforts were all fruitless.For Owen to be able to get it for him now, he could never take his efforts for granted."That's very thoughtful of you, Owen. You have impressed me with this gift, and I p

    Woah!Enzo was shocked to see things move in this direction within a few minutes.He never thought Owen's rage could get out of hand so quickly.While Owen's face looked seriously dangerous at this moment, Roderick wasn't even moved an inch.He scoffed and asked Owen, "You must have great faith in that knife of yours to think it could help you secure the mountain berry."Owen's head exploded as Roderick was still all talk despite the dangerous move he had just pulled."I advise you to stop your shitty talk because my patience gets thin so quickly."Roderick’s brows raised slightly as he answered Owen, "Should I consider that a threat? If it is, you can go ahead with whatever move you have up your sleeve."What?!One of the things Owen hated most was being dared. He never believed a kid like Roderick had the guts to dare him.Well, it was Owen who had provoked his wrath. Roderick should have himself to blame by the time he meets himself six feet underground.Then Owen said, "Since you

    All eyes turned in the direction from which the voice had come, and they met the gaze of a cold middle-aged man.He exuded an arrogant aura, and his gaze was as sharp as Xena's sword.While confusion lingered in their stares, he walked past everyone and stopped next to Enzo."Oh, Mr. Juan, I see you have already prepared the mountain berry so I can have it and leave quickly. I appreciate that," the middle-aged man, Owen Cross, said with a sheepish smile as he reached to accept the wooden box from Enzo.Benjamin had been lost in the earlier confusion until he regained his senses and spoke at this moment."What's going on here, Mr. Juan?!"Enzo, who had been completely silent since Owen's arrival, felt he had to clear the air now.He said, "I think this is my fault, Ben. I can't remember if I had any discussion with Owen about this mountain berry. But I don't think he would be lying about it. What do you think?"Roderick's face had already changed at this moment.He didn't want to belie

    A total silence engulfed the atmosphere as Enzo stated his words, which left Benjamin staring at the chubby man in wonder.He couldn't understand why the man would compare those two things to each other.He was trying to evaluate how mentioning the number of seeds a fruit contains relates to knowing the contents of a wooden box.It was quite a different matter from Benjamin's reasoning.However, upon giving the matter another round of thought, he could understand the slight correlation between the two things.It's basically revealing the hidden content of something.This made Benjamin completely confused about how to argue with Enzo about this.Roderick was slightly surprised that Enzo, who had been acting quite mentally unstable, could think in such a direction.It was really quite surprising.Enzo was about to dismiss them since none of what they had brought up moved him. Just then, Roderick spoke up."Mr. Juan, you don't mind if I give it one last try?"An idea had just crept into

    The silence deepened as all eyes turned to Roderick. He knew such a revelation would capture everyone's attention, as it truly had great potential.Being multilingual is a great skill, but being a polyglot is on an even higher level of talent.Well, thanks to being a soldier, and particularly a War King. The mind-blowing potential of being a polyglot would not have been possible without the number of wars Roderick had fought all over the world.This had helped him learn many languages and cultures from different tribes.The silence in the air grew deeper until Benjamin finally broke it by turning to Roderick and saying, "Mr. Holmes, we have been friends for a little while, and I never knew you were a polyglot. Wow! I must say, you are truly talented!"Roderick only nodded slowly. He had never been moved by praise for his talent in the past, so Benjamin's flattering words did little to affect him.Benjamin immediately turned to Enzo. "Mr. Juan, even I never imagined that Mr. Holmes wou
