"Kent, how did you know of the antidote's refinement method?" The matriarch asked in excitement. At that moment, her body no longer felt any pain from the yearly poison. "I gained vast knowledge about poisons during the ritual," said Kent plainly. The matriarch praised Kent and gave him a few looks.
"Excellent! I wasn't mistaken. You are truly a genius, as my daughter said. Speaking of which, I have an assignment for when you return to Golden Bamboo City."
'Damn, I saved your life, and what I get is an assignment?' Kent thought.
Kent was speechless but had no choice except replying with respect, "Just say the word, Matriarch. I 'll do my best."
"Do you know about the engagement ceremony of the Mintleaf family and the Silver Stokes family?" The matriarch asked with a questioning look.
Kent nodded his head, remembering Lana, who invited him to the engagement.
