Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Briar’s performance in the open class was broadcast in real–time on the large screen in Marvin’s office.

From the moment Briar began answering questions, Marvin’s eyes lit up. Although he wasn’t an expert in traditional medicine, he had a decent understanding of it. Briar’s skills were clearly the result of years of rigorous training, steady and solid.

Seeing her being courted by the masters of traditional medicine, Marvin couldn’t hide his smile.

No matter which master Briar chose to follow, she would still be a talent recruited by Shoneport University.

However, when he heard Briar reject the offers without hesitation and state that she had already found a mentor, Marvin nodded in understanding. With such solid skills, she must have had a distinguished teacher guiding her from a young age.

‘Briar has always lived in Qathana. When has Qathana produced such a remarkable master of traditional medicine?‘ he wondered.

Marvin turned his piercing gaze to Ashton, his interest piqued “Acton, you brought Briar to Shoneport University. You must have done your

homework on her background, right? Do you know who her master is?”

Ashton was straightforward. “I checked. I don’t know.”

“How could that be?” Marvin’s voice rose in disbelief. “Is there something you can’t find out? Did you even bother to check?”

Ashton replied irritably, “I did check, but the information I found was clearly tampered with. Briar’s background is definitely not ordinary. You can give up trying to dig deeper; it’s impossible.”

Marvin was skeptical. “Really? Briar is just an ordinary girl from the Jennings family. Do they have that kind of influence?”

It wasn’t that Marvin underestimated the Jennings family. He knew a bit about Briar’s father, Edgar. The man had no real talent. The only reason the Jennings Group was still standing was due to the support from the company’s veteran shareholders.
