The Man’s Decree

With a nod, Hosen stepped forward. He only gave the girl a glance before tapping thrice on the girl's forehead.

“These symptoms of hers have been left untreated for far too long, and they've become permanent. Moreover, she's too weak. I'll have to nourish her body with medicine first. Once she recovers more of her vitality, I'll rid her of her illness with potent medicine,” Hosen slowly uttered.

“Mr. Holt, does that mean that you can cure her?” Yuven asked in surprise.

“Of course. If I couldn't save her, why would I have come all the way here?” Hosen confidently replied.

At the sight of Hosen's poised demeanor, Julius realized that his daughter could be saved. Immediately, he kneeled before Hosen and said, “Mr. Holt, please let me express my gratitude for saving my daughter!”

As the Imperial Beast City's elder, Julius was naturally someone with much power. Yet, Hosen never even bothered sparing the kneeling man a glance as he turned to Yuven and said, “King Yuven, I can cure her illness, but I hope you still remember what you've promised me.”

“Don't worry, Mr. Holt. As long as you cure Mr. Poulsen's daughter, you'll be able to freely come and go in this city, as well as gather any mystical herbs in the area. I'll also personally pass to you the hundred beast cores I promised you.”

When Hosen heard that, he nodded in satisfaction and said, “I'm glad to hear that. Now get me a quiet yard. I'm going to create some health-nourishing pills for the girl. In seven days, she'll be cured of her illness.”

“Men, bring Mr. Holt to the yard by the flower garden at the back! No one is allowed to enter the premise to disturb him unless he specifically summons them,” Yuven loudly ordered.

Soon, Hosen was brought to the garden at the back. In the meantime, Julius was prostrating before Yuven, gratitude swelling in his chest.

He never thought that Yuven would agree to such a demanding request just to hire Hosen.

To the beast race, territories were important. They would not let others enter their territories without permission, not even if the other party was of the same race. If other beast races entered Yuven's territory, they would either be chased away or killed.

Yet, Yuven had just agreed to let the members of the Emerald Cauldron Sect freely enter and depart from his territory, and he was even gifting Hosen a hundred beast cores. Julius had no idea what he could possibly do to thank Yuven.

“Your Majesty, I will forever be loyal to you!” Julius cried out, striking his head against the ground in his prostration.

“Mr. Poulsen, please rise! You've been my subject for many years, and I see your daughter as one of my own.”

Yuven quickly helped Julius to his feet.

Right then, a guard came over to report to Yuven that Ivasha was asking for his presence.

“Doesn't that girl know when to let me rest? What exactly is that important thing she wants to talk about?” Yuven grumbled.
