Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 1278

Silas and the others' eyes popped in disbelief when they saw Matthew take the Nine-Leafed Lotus away.

Having collected herbs for generations, they knew full well how valuable the Nine-Leafed Lotus was.

It could be said that not even the hundreds of Seven- Leafed Lotuses here combined could compare with a seed from the Nine-Leafed Lotus.

Indeed, they had hired people from several major forces with the intention of snatching the Nine- Leafed Lotus by force.

And besides, according to their plan, no one probably knew about the Nine- Leafed Lotus.

Once the guardian beast was dealt with, they would share the Seven-Leafed Lotus with these people and then take the Nine-Leafed Lotus away in secret.

That way, they would make a fortune.

But who would've thought that Matthew would know so much about the Nine-Leafed Lotus and even take it away? This made them feel as though all their previous efforts were in vain.

However, these herb growers were very clever.

Coming to their senses at once, they immediately started to dig up those Seven-Leafed Lotuses.

Even though they had no hopes of getting the Nine-Leafed Lotus, they could still make some money by taking some Seven-Leafed Lotuses with them.

Rose looked at the scene, then at the porcelain bottle in Matthew's hand.

Suddenly, she walked to his side.

"Hey, I'll buy this herb of yours! Name your price!"

Matthew frowned and ignored her.

This woman is so rude! I saved her just now, but not only did she not say a word of thanks, but she even speaks to me with such a haughty air.

Does she honestly think that the universe revolves around her? Seeing that Matthew remained silent, Rose couldn't help feeling irritated.

"Hey, didn't you hear me talking to you? How much do you want?! I can pay the money as long as you name your price!"

Matthew darted a cold look at her.

"How much is your life worth?"

Rose frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Matthew replied, "Did you forget that I was the one who saved your life? Why don't you pay off what you owed me first?"

Rose flew into a rage.

"You were the one who wanted to save my life yourself; I didn't ask you to save me! And besides, I'm gonna marry into the Nolan Family very soon, so I'll be part of the Nolan Family in the future! You should consider it a great honor to be able to save me!"

Matthew was so peeved by Rose's words that he laughed instead.

What a shameless woman she is! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Well, I'm sorry for being stupid and saving you by accident.If such a thing happens again, I'll definitely watch that crimson serpent swallow you up with my own eyes!"

Upon hearing his words, Rose instantly boiled with anger.

"How audacious! How dare you curse me? I'm warning you, you'd better give me the herb at once! Otherwise, you'll be an enemy of the Nolan Family, and I—"

However, before she could finish her sentence, Matthew stood up at once, saying, "What can you do?"

At first, Rose wanted to blow up at him, but Quincy stopped her before she could do so.

He whispered, "Please stop provoking him, Young Lady!"

Rose blew her top at once.

"What do you mean, Mr.Quincy? Why should I be scared of him? Don't forget that I'll soon be part of the Nolan Family...

Quincy let out a sigh.

"Young Lady, most of the people we've brought with us are either dead or wounded.If we really make him angry, he can kill us here in the mountain forest without anyone else knowing.And besides, I'm no longer a match for him in my current state.."

Rose was taken aback.She looked at the crimson serpent on the ground with an aggrieved look, but in the end, she dared not say anything.

Inwardly, though, she was already seething with resentment.

Once I walk out of this mountain forest, I'm gonna snatch the Nine-Leafed Lotus away no matter what! Walking to the side of the pool, Matthew looked at Silas and the others, who were working hard to collect the herbs.

"We'd agreed back then that we'd share these Seven-Leafed Lotus fifty-fifty between us.You guys collect all of the lotuses, and we'll divide them after we leave the mountains!"

Silas nearly spat blood on the spot.How could you ask to share the Seven-Leafed Lotus fifty-fifty after taking the most precious Nine-Leafed Lotus away? Just as he was about to speak, a hissing sound suddenly came from the dark stone cave.

Matthew fixed his eyes on where the sound had come from, and his expression changed all at once.
