A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 49 Drink This and I’ll Spare Your Life

Sophie didn’t give it much thought. “Why? William is just helping me out.”

With an icy expression, Aidan replied, “Helping you out? Do you know who Denson really is? He is the illegitimate son of Kane Stone, the true emperor of Justford! If Kane gets enraged, the entire Justford will

suffer

Instead of being afraid, Sophie blinked her eyes in surprise. “Denson is Kane’s illegitimate son? It’s no wonder he is so arrogant! I used to think he was just wealthy, but it turns out he is so much more!”

She did not consider William’s predicament at all. Her focus had shifted to the fact that because Denson was Kane’s illegitimate son, she really needed to grab hold of him. As such, she dashed out the door. Aidan sat on the couch and made some muffled noises before lighting a cigarette and starting to smoke.

On the other hand, William just stared at him calmly. “I am not even afraid of what lies ahead. Why are you terrified?” he asked nonchalantly.

Aidan raised his head in response, a worried expression on his face. “I can’t help you this time, William. Not even Miss Lloyd can. Kane Stone is not someone with whom people of our level can go against!”

“Really?” William remained calm. “On what level is he, then?”

To that, Aidan could only offer a bitter smile. “Kanc is Brandon Cromwell’s apprentice! Do you know who Brandon is? He’s a martial arts master, someone like a god to people like us! His twin brother, Sheldon, is the mayor of Justford, whereas his other two elder brothers, Matthew and Joseph, are both powerful figures in Kreim!”

William wasn’t astounded at all. “What’s the big deal? I only have one life. He can take it if he wants. What else can he do to me?”

Aidan slammed his fist on the table in rage. “William, you have to leave Justford right now!”

“Leave? It’s too late!”

The door was suddenly kicked open and a group of men dashed in led by Denson, who had been kicked by William earlier.

His face was ferocious as he stared at William and grimly exclaimed, “Credit to you for not fleeing, but you’ll regret it soon!”

“Do you

think

you can deal with me with just these few people of yours?” William said indifferently.

That made Denson laugh. “I must say, rascal, you are truly daring to be so unconcerned at this point! I admire your bravery.”

Sophie stood next to Denson at this point, hugging his arm and coquettishly saying,

“Denson, I’m just jealous about you having so many women attracted to you. Everything I have said earlier is merely out of anger. I will never like such garbage like William!”

Aidan also stood up. “Mr. Hyde, can you be lenient to William?”

To me? William narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
