Chapter 1682 Thankfully, they had managed to fool Renee.
After Renee chatted with them for a while, Owen suggested that they let Renee rest. "There are three courses of treatment that she'll take over a span of two weeks. She'll get better with each treatment, but she also needs to rest. Let's not disturb her." "Okay, let's go then." Leia immediately stood up and asked everyone to leave Renee's room.
When they reached downstairs and confirmed that Renee was asleep, everyone called Neil and Elijah over and asked them to explain what had happened.
Neil had wanted to set off for Dragos immediately with the remainder of the dragon's saliva, but decided he owed them an explanation. Taking a deep breath, he said to everyone, "In order to get the dragon's saliva, Mr.

"Yes, Mr. Stuart, please calm down." Elijah continued helplessly, "Ms. Osborne is right-we're all worried about Mr.
Hunt, and we don't want anything to happen to him. However, this matter was out of our hands, which is why things turned out this way. Let Neil finish before we cup with a plan." Xavier took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. Then, he said to Neil, "Go on." Neil timidly swallowed and continued, "Mr. Hunt urgedto bring the dragon's saliva to Mr. Young no matter what happened, so after thinking about it, | went to find Mr. Young, instead of rescuing Mr. Hunt... | exited the village late at night and reunited with Mr. Young, who was waiting at the foot of the mountains, then we chere."
