Chapter: 722
I didn’t expect you to save me."
"It’s still too early to celebrate. Although I’ve gotten rid of the venomous curse, you aren’t in the clear yet."
Dustin told them bluntly.
"What do you mean?" Hector frowned.
"Mystic poison is a combination of witchcraft and parasitic poison. The parasitic poison has been cleared, but the witchcraft issue remains." Dustin explained.
"Then what should we do?" Hector asked.
"Simple. I just need to treat you once per day for the next five days, and you’ll recover," Dustin said.
"I see." Hector nodded and asked, "How much will each treatment cost?"
"I don’t want money. I just need you to promise me something." Dustin bargained.
"What is it?"
"I hope you can annul the engagement between the Harmon family and the Grant family." Dustin’s reply was astonishing.
"Annul the engagement?" Hector frowned. "Never!"
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Harmon, I’m the only one who can save your life. I think trading that marriage for your life is a good deal," Dustin said with a small smile.
"Are you threatening me?" Hector narrowed his eyes.
"I wouldn’t dare. I’m merely making a request."
"My answer won’t change. Never!" Hector’s attitude was firm. "I can tell you that it doesn’t matter if you treat me. The marriage will still commence."
"Aren’t you scared of dying?" Dustin frowned.
"What’s there to fear? Everyone has to die eventually. The only thing different is the timing." Hector answered calmly.
"I guess you are different. No one would think about death so calmly." Dustin sighed. He had his doubts when he heard what Ruth said earlier, but after speaking with Hector, he was now sure that the older man was not afraid of death at all
Stubborn men like Hector were always the hardest to deal with.
