“You actually finished it?”
“Yup. It tastes good.”
After hearing his brother’s answer, Davin scooped a few leaves and slowly chewed them. Then, he
swallowed it painfully with his eyes closed. It was as if he was consuming medicine instead of
vegetables!
I firmly believe that Evan’s vegetables are different from mine. Next time, I’ll taste his first!
After breakfast, the group of people went to visit Crystal Rose to ask about their second task.
“Your second task is to let the two poisoned women pluck some flowers. Coincidentally, there’s no sun
today. Remember to pick the flowers soaked in morning dew.”
After pondering for a moment, Nina nodded. “Okay. I’ll head to it now.”
Monica nodded along with her.
As Monica’s way of picking flowers was somewhat rough, the dew on the petals dribbled everywhere,
causing Crystal Rose to scold her over it. After that, Monica started to pick flowers more gently despite
cursing the woman angrily in her heart.
Meanwhile, Nina had plucked all the flowers with utmost care and put them in the basket as it was a
precious gem, fearing to damage the petals.
Both of them finished picking half a basket of flowers. After that, they were only notified that the petals
were used for their medication.
Looking at the mess in her basket, Monica deeply regretted her actions. I wonder if it would affect the
effect of the medication? Darn you, Crystal Rose! Would it hurt for you to tell us earlier? I thought the
flower was used to serve tea or other daily uses!
Then, Crystal Rose continued to cure them again. Two hours later, Nina had successfully detoxified
another thirty percent of the poison. Immediately, her complexion seemed way better than before.
After Monica was detoxified, she checked herself in the mirror. I don’t think that my complexion
improved at all. Did the stupid witch only remove 20% of my poison and 60% for Nina?
She seriously suspected Crystal Rose had tampered with the detoxifying process.
Despite having doubts in her heart, she did not dare to inquire Crystal Rose about it. After all, her life
solely depended on that woman, whether she liked it or not.
As the first two tasks were way too easy, the group figured the third task would be as well. Therefore,
Davin and Levant sat by leisurely as Evan asked for the third requirement.
However, they did not expect Crystal Rose’s third condition to bring such a shock to them. It was
evidently shown in Levant’s reaction, staggering back as he stared at her in shock. “What did you say?”
Crystal Rose slowly repeated her request, “I’m ordering you to kill Murphy!” Her tone was filled with
malice.
Levant was silent for a moment before questioning, “Which Murphy are you talking about? Where is he
from?” Perhaps, there might be someone with the same name.
However, Crystal Rose shattered his hopes as she answered thoughtfully, “The leader of K Nation,
Murphy Morris.”
So she’s really talking about my dad? How could that be…
Levant recalled him confirming that issue with his father. However, his father made it clear he had
nothing to do with Crystal Rose, not even knowing who she was. If that was true, why would she hold
such a grudge against Dad?
“Do you really know who Murphy is? What grudge do you hold against him?” Levant continued to ask.
Crystal Rose’s facial expression turned bitter. “A jerk as heartless as him deserves to die! My hatred
toward him can never be resolved, not even if he dies!”
Her words caused everyone to feel stunned.
Evan had gotten information that there was a history between Crystal Rose and Morris. However, he
never expected a grudge to exist between them.
Davin whispered to Levant, “Perhaps did Uncle Morris lie to us? Maybe there really is something going
on between him and Crystal Rose.”
“No way. Dad didn’t seem to be lying about it. Didn’t you hear him?”
“That’s weird. That woman seemed to hate your father a lot. If your dad is really speaking the truth,
there’s no way she would feel this way.”
