Indeed, Kavan Yggdrasill snorted coldly. “Isn’t that house of yours a gift from the Yggdrasill family? Can’t we take it back whenever we want? Don’t forget your place. You’re just a maid in the Yggdrasill family. You were brought up by the Yggdrasill family. Never mind the rejuvenation pills in your hands, even your body belongs to the Yggdrasill family! Do you understand?” Kavan said.
Dory took several steps backward. Tears nearly rolled down her cheeks. “Uncle Kavan, I… I’m going to go and look for Ms. Khloe.”
“Humph! Have you grown resilient? Do you think that ugly monster can protect you? If it’s something I want, even Ms. Khloe has to give it to me, ” Kavan said.
“Somebody, hold this b*tch down and search her body!” he ordered.
“No…” Dory cried out loudly. However, her cultivation was limited. She was no match for the Yggdrasill family’s high-level guards. They immediately pinned her to the ground. In fact, due to her struggling, she was even slapped twice.
Right then, Khloe Yggdrasill walked in.
“Ms. Khloe, help me!” Dory shouted.
“Stop!” Khloe ordered. “What are you doing? Uncle Kavan, why are you doing this to Dory?” she asked.
“Your grandfather hasn’t been feeling well recently. I heard that your maid somehow got ahold of Madam Mona’s rejuvenation pills. So I asked her to give them to your grandfather. In the end, she actually refused. This girl isn’t loyal to the Yggdrasill family. So why should we keep her?” Kavan said.
“Has my grandfather been unwell? Why haven’t I heard about it?” Khloe asked.
“By the time you find out, he’d be dead already! Humph! Keep searching!” Kavan said.
“Wait!” Khloe called out.
Khloe and Dory had always been close. Khloe couldn’t allow her to be treated in such a harsh manner. “Dory, give me the rejuvenation pills. I’ll compensate you later. I’ll give you seven thousand spiritual stones according to the market price.”
Since Khloe already said so, Dory didn’t have a choice. Soon, Khloe brought seven rejuvenation pills with Kavan to meet the head of the Yggdrasill family, who was also her grandfather, Shawn Yggdrasill.
Shawn’s face was glowing, and he seemed energetic. It didn’t look like he was sick at all. At one glance, Khloe knew that Kavan was lying to her.
After hearing this, Shawn slammed the table and stood up.
“Idiot!
“Even Madam Mona would be exhilarated upon seeing a major rejuvenation pill. So why would she simply give it to someone without any cultivation?”
“Besides, even if these were rejuvenation pills, do you think Madam Mona would simply give them to a stranger? Even up to twenty of such pills at that? Do you think these are candies?”
“Go and capture that man and his daughter right away! No, wait. I’m afraid this person might have a tough background. Let’s not alert our enemy. Khloe, find a way to get close to him and solicit information. Find out exactly where these major rejuvenation pills came from. Hurry up. Don’t let him get away,” Shawn said.
Khloe was dumbfounded. “But wouldn’t this be too immoral for us to do?”
Shawn was enraged. “Bullsh*t. This is a huge matter for our family. Do you still want to manage Alchemist Angel Tower? If you ruin this, I’ll marry you off to that fool from the Shad dot family. You’ll never return to the Yggdrasill family again.”
