43 Conflict 8 (2/2)
Gardenia, ah, your acting skills are exceptional, you would've been an actress if you were on Earth.
Elder Zhou had not suspected a thing due to the 'truthful' eyes of Gardenia, from this she could see the whole picture, those b*stards!
They must've wanted to threaten her using her disciple by poisoning her then offering the antidote in exchange for their aim and approached Gardenia since she was close with Ming Wei Er, but since she refused, they drugged her with a gas type drug and tried to force and threaten her but Gardenia still had some energy and managed to scream for help.
Elder Zhou was furious, those people had gone too far! If she hadn't arrived not only would their plan succeed, the genius would've gotten into a messy situation.
Meanwhile, Tang Zen Zen had also woken up, he was greeted by a numerous elders from the fraction which he had approached.
Although they two fractions were in conflict, they couldn't take away the other's disciple, especially a genius.
”Tang Zen Zen please explain what happened”
”I was taking a stroll and Gardenia appeared, the next part I don't remember clearly but I recall smelling something” Tang Zen Zen wouldn't have survived all these years if she hadn't been a good actress.
This aligned with what the physician had told them, there was a drug in his system which caused him to act that way.
All the elders present could see that Gardenia or maybe the other fraction had wished to use this as a reason to punish or create trouble for the genius they had acquired.
”Good! Good! It seems that they have grown some guts to dare do this!” The lead elder of their fraction slammed his fist against the table by the bedside causing the wooden table to break in two.
