Chapter 1868

The man's voice wavered as he looked at Matthew in shock after hearing the reply. "W-What kind of medicine is that?"

"Purple spider lily," Matthew calmly answered.

Suddenly, the man's eyes widened in disbelief. "What is a purple spider lily?"

Matthew replied, "It is an extremely uncommon species of spider lily, also known as lycoris, and its color is typically red. Purple spider lily is a heterogeneous species of spider lily that is highly poisonous, but it can be used as an antidote. However, it is impossible to locate this plant because it can only thrive in environments with extremely polluted air. It has been sought after for many years, but no one has ever found it outside of Orleans. This plant is so relatively rare that it is even more unusual to find ten stalks of Thousand-Year Ginseng growing in the same location."

After hearing the explanation, the man's clenched fists finally relaxed, and his eyes turned red. He inhaled deeply and quickly glanced at Melvin before sitting next to him. "Alright. Find me a place to stay!"

As soon as Melvin heard that, he leaped out of his seat excitedly. "Look! I didn't lie to you, did I?

Haha!… Can you ensure this kid's safety?" he exclaimed.

The man spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression unruffled. "I will protect him with my life!"

In response, Melvin laughed even more heartily.

Thirty years ago, his father reigned as King of Wing Chun and ruled with his iron fists. From now on, he will serve as your bodyguard."

As soon as Matthew heard this, his eyes widened in shock. Although Salazar's identity remained a mystery to him, he had the impression that whoever Salazar was, he was no pushover. He could feel the aura emanating from Salazar's exertions and was on the verge of suffocating. Is this intimidating man going to be my bodyguard?

"Uh, a-are you sure? Mr. Whitford, I—" He sounded awkward.

As he gave it some serious thought, he concluded that it was possible. After all, this type of treatment is beyond the scope of any ordinary doctor. Since my dad and I are the inheritors of the jade pendant, we are the only ones with knowledge of this treatment. Therefore, my dad must have been responsible for saving Salazar's father. So, he has come to protect me in return for my dad's kindness! Read at
