"I am grateful to be met by you, and you can easily cure my illness; are you a doctor?" the man asked. "I'm not a doctor; I happen to be a bit of an expert on traditional medical remedies and am used to curing things like this," Othniel replied with a smile. "Your skills are extraordinary, young man," he said as he patted Othniel on the back. "Thanks to the kindness of your wife as well." The man smiled at his wife. His wife was indeed the best woman and his most precious treasure. "Sorry in advance, I have to go home because of some business. May I visit you again next time?" asked Othniel. "Of course, young man, my home is very open to you. Before that, could you introduce your name?" The man looked happy when Othniel wanted to visit his house again. He had really gotten lucky. "Just call me Othniel," Othniel replied with a small smile. "My name is Abelard, and my wife's name is Edla," Abelard said with a small chuckle. "This is for your son; it can be used to buy food," said Othniel as he gave Edla the money. "Please don't refuse," he continued with a pleading look. Edla then decided to accept the money from Othniel. Othniel had already returned home, and he was relieved to have found someone who had helped him with the system. "That man is amazing; I wish that man could help me destroy Felix. For now, I can't possibly do it alone. Felix is already King," Abelard said to himself. One week later. Othniel was already at the border of Fang territory. At that time, Elizabeth had said that she would return as soon as possible if their mission was successful. "Mr. Niel!" called Elizabeth. She immediately got out of her car and ordered Emperor YenLen's bodyguards to return, and for her personal bodyguards, Elizabeth asked them to go home first to inform her father that she had successfully cured Emperor YenLen. "Is Mr. Niel always waiting for me at the border?" asked Elizabeth as she lowered her head. She felt both excited and embarrassed. "Of course," Othniel replied with a smile. "Our mission went well, Mr. Niel," Elizabeth said enthusiastically. "I didn't expect Emperor YenLen to have regained consciousness and is now recovering. Thanks to you, my family name has become so good that Emperor YenLen is even willing to build a company in his territory. That was my father's wish, because the Fang region is in high demand by nobles and businessmen," Elizabeth explained. "I know about that. But you still must be careful; there must be many people who are after your life or your family's life. James might not accept your victory either," Othniel said with a chuckle. "No way. We have agreed to compete fairly, and whoever wins is the one who deserves the throne." Elizabeth tried to deny Othniel's words; she still thought that if she had won, then everything was fine. "You don't know the greed of a person." Elizabeth's guess turned out to be wrong; at first she thought she would be fine. In fact, there were now more than 15 people surrounding her and Othniel. Elizabeth slightly regretted telling her guards to leave, not knowing why she had been caught off guard and foolish in such a short time just because of a temporary victory. "Mr. Niel, what should we do? I don't have any weapons to take them out," Elizabeth said, trying to calm down. Within 10 minutes, Othniel managed to take out over 15 large and armed men. Of course it made Elizabeth very amazed. "He deserves to be king." Elizabeth muttered quietly while continuing to stare at Othniel in awe. "Go home. It should be safe now; your family should be waiting. I will escort you from behind," Othniel ordered. "Thank you, Mr. Niel; you helped me again, and this time saved my life. I am deeply indebted." Othniel smiled a little, not knowing he would become someone evil in an instant. "No need to praise me too much," Othniel said. "There might be a party tonight; would Mr. Niel like to come celebrate?" Elizabeth asked. "I can't answer now, but if I have free time, I will come to your party," Othniel replied. "I really hope Mr. Niel comes, because the party is not my success alone," said Elizabeth. "We'll see tonight," said Othniel. They then headed home together, with Othniel escorting from behind on his motorcycle. "I'd better go see Abelard; that's more important. I'll join you at your party when you're crowned queen. It will be fun," Othniel said to himself. After finishing escorting Elizabeth and making sure she was safe, Othniel then decided to go to Abelard's house. He was very curious as to who the Felix was that Abelard was referring to. In another place. Othniel was chatting alone with Abelard; fortunately, Abelard's wife was still working, so Othniel was free to talk about Felix. "Othniel I'm glad you came here. I was feeling lonely," he said with a chuckle. "I came because I wanted to ask you a question; it was bothering me," Othniel said. "Just ask; I'll answer for sure. What's bothering you?" asked Abelard. "I want to ask you about Felix. When you were first healed, I heard you say that Felix would have to pay for everything. Is that Felix, the King of this country?" said Othniel as he looked Abelard straight in the eye. "That's right. I have a secret that no one knows about, not even my wife and son," Abelard replied. "Tell me if you wish, for we have a common goal," Othniel said. "Do you have a grudge against Felix?" Abelard asked. "I don't have any grudge against him, but I can't accept his son because he dared to have an affair with my wife," Othniel replied. "It seems you are the right person to help me, Othniel. I will tell you about my secret," Abelard said. "Me and Felix, we're actually brothers. I didn't want the throne in the first place, but my parents kept choosing me to be the leader, even though Felix wanted the position. I prefer peace and quiet, and not many people know that I am Maxssron's descendant. The reason I refused was also because being a leader is not easy, and I was already married at the time." Abelard explained while staring ahead. He certainly remembered the cruel event committed by Felix. "Perhaps out of jealousy, Felix killed our parents and left me completely paralyzed. Because of Felix's greed, my wife and son had to endure a difficult life. My wife had to work tirelessly at her age," he continued. "Now I understand why Felix deserved to be killed," Othniel said to himself. "Soon you will have happy news," said Othniel. "What do you mean?" asked Abelard. "I'm going to kill Felix for you," whispered Othniel to Abelard's surprise. "It won't be easy; he's king now. He has thousands of bodyguards; his safety must always be guaranteed. I'm afraid something will happen to you," Abelard said, looking panicked. "Calm down; everything will be fine. This is my plan to make my revenge easier," Othniel said with a small smile.
