Chapter 1171

Other than that, Lilith was conquered by Bloodsworth’s sexual prowess when the latter impersonated Ares in those two years. She had relived the good times over and over again in her mind.

Hence, Lilith agreed to become Bloodsworth’s mistress.

When Julian saw Bloodsworth slowly approaching him, he panicked. “D-Don’t come any closer! Mom, send me back now!”

He had often heard of the cruel deeds of Bloodsworth, and he was traumatized by the stories.

Lilith hurriedly consoled, “Don’t move, Julian. Sir is trying to treat your leg.”

What?

Julian whipped his head upward to look at Bloodsworth.

It was already a miracle for him to survive after Zeke severed his arm and leg tendons.

He did not have any hopes in recovering the functionality of his limbs.

However, Bloodsworth was now telling him otherwise.

Is this real? Julian did not mind living a short life if it meant that he could recover the use of his arms and legs.

His voice trembled from excitement. “C-Can I really recover from this?”

After checking Julian’s limbs, Bloodsworth nodded. “Yes. It’s nothing major. If everything goes well, you’ll recover in half years’ time.”

Julian could barely believe his ears. “W-Why should I believe in your words?”

Bloodsworth replied, “You should know what the Bloodsworth Syndicate specializes in.”

“The Bloodsworth Syndicate specializes in poison.”

Bloodsworth nodded. “That’s right. Medicine is in fact poison in essence, isn’t it? Since we have already mastered the skill of poison, I don’t see a problem in concocting an antidote for you.”

Julian sobbed after listening to his words.

Bloodsworth’s remark sounded logical.

He hurriedly uttered, “Sir, thank you so much for your help. If I’m able to recover from this, I will do anything you ask for.”

As long as he could regain the use of his limbs, he would submit himself to the benefactor regardless of the latter’s identity as the archenemy of Eurasia.

Bloodsworth then sighed, “You know, even the best chef would need the right ingredient to cook a scrumptious meal. I’m lacking one vital ingredient for your medicine. Without it, even Hippocrates can’t save you.”

“What is it? I’ll get it for you no matter the cost!”

Bloodsworth answered, “Gentiana scabra.”

Julian was disappointed. “Gentiana scabra? One of the rarest plants in Eurasia? It’s so rare that you can barely find it in the market. Only the Cygnus Room has a small amount of it. I... I’m not even capable of entering the Cygnus Room, not to mention getting my hands on it.”

Bloodsworth chuckled, “Not just you. Even your father, Ares, could not get Gentiana scabra. But, if you will do me a favor, I’ll get it for you.”

Julian swiftly replied, “Please tell me what it is. I will give you my best.”

“You should know that Zeke is the Great Marshal by now. Find a way to lure him out of Atheville.

Meanwhile, I’ll pretend to be the Great Marshal and get Gentiana scabra from the Cygnus Room.”

Huh? Julian looked at Bloodsworth with doubtful eyes. “You’re going to pretend to be the Great Marshal? Everyone who enters the Cygnus Room will have to go through a thorough examination, including the Great Marshal. Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”

Bloodsworth sneered, “Let me ask you, I pretended to be your father for two years. But have you ever noticed it?”

What does that mean? Julian became even more confused. “What do you mean by you pretended to be my father for two years?”

Lilith muttered, “Julian, I’ll be honest with you. The Ares you have seen in the past two years was actually Bloodsworth in disguise. The real Ares was locked up by him at that time and had only returned recently.”

Julian widened his eyes in disbelief.
