Chapter 1480
“What? This twat has a treasure with him? Is this true?” Angus could not believe his ears. He knew justhow rare treasures were, especially those that harnessed Light Energy–they were so hard to come bythat not even any of the Thompsons managed to get their hands on one!
Angus never once dreamed that a nobody like Leon would be able to get his hands on the treasurethey sought!
One could only imagine his shock at this!
“As true as it can ever be, Father! Leon has already promised me that he will lend the treasure to us ifhe can’t cure Roanne successfully,” Yuri added.
“Well, it’s no wonder!” Angus finally understood why his son was willing to allow Leon, who was noteven a legitimate doctor, to try his hand at treating Roanne. It turned out that Yuri was doing this all forthe treasure!
“Splendid, this is splendid! I can’t believe the treasure is right in front of us all this while!” Angus burstinto laughter, then turned to stare at Leon with a softened gaze. “Can you lend us your treasure now,Mister Wolf? Don’t you worry, we Thompsons are honest people, and I promise that once Roanne getsback, I will give you a hefty reward for your trouble!” he declared.
The Thompsons were the most powerful family in the Southern region, and he guessed that Leon wasprobably insisting on treating Roanne himself because he wanted to withhold the treasure until he gotsome reward out of it!
He was certain that Leon would never be able to resist a hefty cash reward!
However, what happened next shocked him to the core.
“No! I won’t lend you the treasure!” Leon said, shaking his head.
“Why not? Are you trying to use this to take advantage of us?” A glimmer of rage flashed throughAngus‘ eyes.
“What are you talking about, Angus? We’re the ones requesting Mister Wolf for his help, so don’t treathim with this attitude!” Vivian glared at her husband.
“I,” Angus opened his mouth to dispute this, but no words came out.
However, he was adamant that Leon was trying to take advantage of them by withholding the treasure,and thus his impression of Leon took a turn for the worst!novelbin
“Mister Wolf, this is a human life we’re talking about here. Please, I’m begging you. Can you lend usyour treasure so we can save my daughter? We Thompsons will do everything in our power to fulfillany request you might have,” Vivian said earnestly. She was far more sincere than her husband evercould be.
“No, Missus Thompson, you’ve misunderstood what I meant. It’s not that I don’t want to lend you thetreasure–it’s just that the treasure I have doesn’t harness Light Energy at all! It would not be of use toMiss Thompson at all even if I agreed to lend it to you!” Leon explained.
“No use? I think you’re just trying to trick us into giving you more!” Angus scoffed, confident that he sawright through Leon’s deceit.
“That’s not what I meant,” Leon sighed and could not help wondering if he would ever be able toconvince these people otherwise.
