Chapter 1682

Thankfully, they had managed to fool Renee.

After Renee chatted with them for a while, Owen suggested that they let Renee rest. "There are three courses of treatment that she'll take over a span of two weeks. She'll get better with each treatment, but she also needs to rest. Let's not disturb her."

"Okay, let's go then." Leia immediately stood up and asked everyone to leave Renee's room.

When they reached downstairs and confirmed that Renee was asleep, everyone called Neil and Elijah over and asked them to explain what had happened.

Neil had wanted to set off for Dragos immediately with the remainder of the dragon's saliva, but decided he owed them an explanation. Taking a deep breath, he said to everyone, "In order to get the dragon's saliva, Mr. Hunt climbed our dragon statue, the most sacred thing in my clan. What he did infuriated the villagers, and if they're going to punish him by clan laws... They'll cook and eat him, sacrificing him to the ancestors to pacify the dragon's wrath."

"What?! They're going to cook and eat him?" Xavier yelped, leaping out of his chair. "What kind of crazy clan are you from? Are they cannibals from Zambawi? Shouldn't they consider the legal consequences of doing something like that?"

Leia was still bewildered, but when she saw Xavier heading towards Neil to beat him up, she immediately stood between them and shouted at Xavier," Can you sit down quietly and listen to him? He's the one who brought the dragon's saliva here, so we should be thanking him!"

"You think this is all because of him?" Xavier's expression was icy as he glared at Leia. "Didn't you hear? Stefan risked his life fo this, but you so easily forgot about that. Do you all want him to get into trouble?"

"What? Listen-1 know you're worried about Stefan, we all are. Ren will have a mental breakdown if anything happens to him, so at least for Ren's sake, I don't want to see him in trouble!" Leia sighed exasperatedly. She thought that Xavier was calm and rational, but he always went crazy when it came to Stefan. It made Leia wonder if he had a secret crush on Stefan.

"Yes, Mr. Stuart, please calm down." Elijah continued helplessly, "Ms. Osborne is right-we're all worried about Mr. Hunt, and we don't want anything to happen to him. However, this matter was out of our hands, which is why things turned out this way. Let Neil finish before we come up with a plan."

Xavier took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. Then, he said to Neil, "Go on."

Neil timidly swallowed and continued, "Mr. Hunt urged me to bring the dragon's saliva to Mr. Young no matter what happened, so after thinking about it, I went to find Mr. Young, instead of rescuing Mr. Hunt... I exited the village late at night and reunited with Mr. Young, who was waiting at the foot of the mountains, then we came here."

"What did you say?" Xavier bellowed and grabbed Neil's collar. "You mean those barbaric villagers captured Stefan when you left, and you both didn't go back to save him?!"

"Ugh..."
