Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 1260

After Ambrose had the Hugheses' dead bodies dragged away, everyone finally took their seats, and those from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire elected a new representative.

After everyone seated themselves, Ambrose summoned the several herb growers over.

The herb growers were led by a stocky middle-aged man who wore a cheerful smile all the time.

"Hi, everyone.My surname's Peachy, but you guys can call me Silas" he said.

After exchanging a few words of greeting with everyone, he got straight to the point, saying, "Everyone, I know you guys are here for the Seven-Leafed Lotus.Since everyone's here, I have to let you guys see the real thing, or else someone's gonna think that we're trying to get something without paying anything."

Then, with a wave of his hand, someone next to him brought a wooden box over.

The wooden box was large, and it was wrapped in multiple layers of heat-insulation materials.

Even so, everyone could sense a wave of scorching heat radiating from it as they sat here.

Inside the wooden box was the Seven-Leafed Lotus, the hottest and heatiest thing on earth.

Matthew clenched his fists.

With the Seven-Leafed Lotus, he would be able to cure Crystal.

Even if the Seven-Leafed Lotus couldn't force the Frost Charm out of her body, it would at least enable her to regain her ability to move! Seeing Matthew's expression, the crown prince whispered to him, "What's the matter? You want the Seven-Leafed Lotus? Need my help?"

Matthew asked, "How are you gonna help me?"

"He he."

The crown prince let out a chuckle.

"Kill them all, and the Seven-Leafed Lotus will be yours."

Matthew was rendered speechless. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

How whimsical of him to come up with such an idea! The point is, he really has the nerve to think about it! It took the stocky man a great deal of effort to open the wooden box completely.

Inside the box was a crimson lotus flower with seven leaves, and its stem was buried in red-colored soil.

Not only that, but the stem was surrounded by pieces of burning charcoal.

Wiping the sweat off his face, the stocky man explained with a smile, "The Seven-Leafed Lotus mustn't be away from fire.So, to keep it, one must use volcanic rock and charcoal fire to maintain the temperature, or the Seven-Leafed Lotus will gradually lose its effects."

Everyone stared at the Seven-Leafed Lotus with excitement written all over their faces.

Even if some of them didn't understand what kind of a thing it was, they could tell there was something extraordinary about the Seven-Leafed Lotus.

Just then, an aged man suddenly spoke.

"Now that we've seen the Seven-Leafed Lotus, can you tell us what the job is? Since you guys are willing to offer the Seven-Leafed Lotus as a reward, I'm afraid what you're gonna ask us to do mustn't be simple"

Everyone else nodded at his words.

The Seven- Leafed Lotus was of great value.

Since the herb growers were willing to offer such a priceless reward, getting it was surely not going to be easy.

Silas gave an embarrassed smile.

"Since we've invited everyone to be here, the job is certainly going to be difficult to some degree."

Then, he explained the situation.

As it turned out, these herb growers’ ancestors had planted a miraculous herb in the mountains.

Seeing that it was about time for the herb to ripen, the herb growers sent several batches of people into the mountains to collect them.

However, these people were completely wiped out after going into the mountains, save for a person who returned with grave injuries.

After coming back, the person uttered the word "Dragon!" and then dropped dead.

Not knowing what had happened, the herb growers had no choice but to look on from a distance, only to discover many skeletons near the miraculous herb, including those of some large beasts.

They suspected that a guardian beast was guarding the herb nearby, wanting to have the herb to itself.

Knowing that there was no way they could fight against those guardian beasts with their capabilities, they came out in search of expert fighters to help them collect the miraculous herb.

After listening to Silas’ story, everyone looked at each other; even Matthew was stunned.

They didn't expect the matter to be something like this.

They had thought these herb growers wanted them to help deal with some big shots, but it turned out that they were just asking them to deal with a beast?
