Chapter 1893 Foul Play?
Chapter 1893 Foul Play?
"Hmph, do you not feel embarrassed to return with only some wild plants?" Sodo snorted and mocked Gareth.
But Gareth did not care and ignored him completely.
He proceeded forward and gave the herbs he gathered to the referee.
Sodo was angry that Gareth ignored him and tried to argue. However, his friends persuaded him to quiet down.
A few people winked at Sodo and laughed. "Let's wait a bit. He's going to humiliate himself soon."
Sodo calmed down and smirked mockingly.
He too, did not believe that Gareth would pass this round.
In other words, Elisa was the only person who believed in Gareth.
Even Anna pursed her lips and said regretfully, "I didn't expect the first test to be this. It seems Gareth will lose this round. What a pity."
Even Mrs. Kella broke out in cold sweat.
Still, Elisa refused to doubt even after hearing Anna. She had complete confidence in Gareth.
The referee took the herbs from Gareth and counted them in public.
"Galangal, culantro, cinchona, woad, crow-dipper, star anise, agarwood, lotus…"
Sodo's expression darkened whenever the referee named the herbs.
There was a total of fifty medicinal herbs. It meant Gareth had met the requirement.
The referee's voice shook as he announced that Gareth found all the required herbs and passed the test.
How is this possible?
Everyone was shocked. Only Elisa was happy for Gareth because she had believed in him from the start.
Gareth looked at the people gathered. His eyes were cold and emotionless.
He stood there calmly, yet everyone could not help but look at him.
Furthermore, he remained unfazed throughout Sodo's taunt and when the referee announced the result. It felt like he was an unrelated spectator.
The only time he showed any emotion was when he looked at Elisa. His gaze softened like snow melting in spring.
It was a lovely sight.
"I trust you." Elisa mouthed those words.
Gareth nodded.
However, something happened at this moment.
Sodo stood up and pointed at Gareth fiercely. "Speak up! How did you cheat?"
Gareth frowned but did not speak. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Elisa knew he was angry.
Gareth hated people pointing their fingers at him. She feared something terrible would happen.
"Argh!"
Sodo screamed in an inhuman voice.
Gareth had snapped his fingers.
Sodo gritted his teeth in pain. He wanted to yell at Gareth but was too afraid.
Gareth glanced at him from the corner of an eye. He could not be bothered to face him.
"Sodo, remember I've warned you that you ran out of chance. I have a good temper, but there's a limit
to how much I can withstand."
Elisa frowned as she listened to Gareth.
When did Gareth have a good temper? His employees were so frightened of him that they could not speak. I wonder what they would think if they were to hear this.
The village chief immediately took control of the situation and arranged for someone to check on Sodo.
Even as a doctor treated Sodo's injured hand, Sodo refused to back down and glared at Gareth.
If looks could kill, Gareth would have died many times.
Unfortunately for Sodo, that was impossible.
Gareth ignored Sodo.
The referee wanted to start the next segment, but Sodo objected.
Elisa could not help but worry.
Her concern was not about Sodo but Mrs. Kella.
Sodo stood up and glared at Gareth. He looked at the medicinal herbs on the table and said to the referee, "I think Gareth cheated. Many men from our village failed this test. How could an outsider like him be able to find the required medicinal herbs in such a short time?"
