you promised me! “Do you know her?” Master Cleo asked Jeff after Arlina left, his eyes carrying a hint of gratitude.
“Not really” Jeff answered.
paul says you wanted to see me” Master Close continued. “Since I arrived back, I haven’t been able to spare myself enough time for some friends.” “Ah, I see. I just wanted to question you about some herbs.” 1s it something you’ve seen or something common in the world?” Master Cleo asked.
t’s not common and I’ve never seen one before” Jeff replied. “It’s the Rezanie herb.”
Master Cleo’s eyes widened as he processed Jeff’s request for information about the long-lost Rezanie herb.
There was a long pause while he thought about what Jeff had said.
Finally, he cleared his throat and spoke in a hushed tone. “Jeff, the Rezanie herb… it no longer exists in our world.
It vanished many years ago. The last known sighting of the herb was in the ancient scrolls of the Great Library, but even those were destroyed in a fire long ago.” Jeff’s expression remained neutral, but a spark of determination shone in his eyes. “Destroyed? Are you certain, Master Cleo?” Master Cleo nodded, “Indeed’ Jeff. It was once believed that the Rezanie
herb had extraordinary healing abilities and could treat illnesses that were thought to be incurable. Itwas-a highly valued resource that was in high demand. However, its disappearance remains a mystery. However, many people are still looking for it.
IT see. Well, thank you for your honesty, Master Cleo.” “Why are you asking about it though? Have you seen it before?” With raised eyebrows, Master Cleo inquired, anticipating a response.
The reason I seek the Rezanie herb is personal, but I will share it with you in due time.” As Jeff and Master Cleo continued their conversation, Professor Paul also came to sit with them. He greeted them with awarm smile. “Ah, Master Cleo, was I
interrupting something?” “No, no” Master Cleo replied. “I was just discussing something with Jeff but we are done already.” “0h, I will be leaving in some minutes later. When are you leaving?” Professor inquires as he sits down across from Jeff and Master Cleo. “And are you really back for good?” “What do you think?” Master Cleo smirked.
11 would like to know what made you reconsider. I’ve begged you several times without number to come back but you never listened to me” Professor Paul uttered, a hint of faux anger visible in his voice. “Since you are back. What are you going to do.”
“It’s a surprise and I’m not telling you.” “well, if you say so.” After a few minutes, Professor Paul got a call and was forced to part ways with Jeff. Jeff spoke with Master Cleo fora while before making the decision to g¢ As he exited the grand doors of the ballroom, a woman followed behind him. Her hurried steps were noticeable.
When Jeff finally reached the entrance of the Trinder’s Mansion, he stopped in his tracks and let out a big breath.
“When are you going to quit following me?” He uttered, snacking his tongue with his upper mouth. “If you want to
say something, say it. If you have nothing to say, back off and stop following me like a ghost.” The hurried steps finally halted but Jeff didn’t turn back. “What are you doing here?” She asked.
“And what does it have to do with you? I have my life to leave okay, I don’t care about you guys.” “You… You… Just turn around and look at me. I don’t want to beat around the bush.” With his icy gaze fixed on Rachael, Jeff pivoted around. A frown appeared on his forehead as he noticed her fidgeting with her fingers.
“What is it?” “Did you take any action?” She enquired. “You claimed to have given
me one last warning, but you still did something improper. I shouldn’t have trusted you, you didn’t keep your promise!” “What the hell are you even talking about? Trust? Promise? Last warning?” Jeff smacked his lips. “Stop beating around the bush and say whatever you want to say.” “What was it that you sent Emmanuel? You are the only one who is aware of…
of… of…” Her words trailed off as she stammered.

“of what? That you sent the basketball referee to kill me? That you conspired to say things that were not verified with Uncle Shawn’s wife? Or that you are cheating on him with the basketball Referee?” “Jeff! You promised me!!”
“promise? What’s that? I’ve never heard of that word” Jeff smirked, his eyes fixed on Rachael’s face.
Since he and Professor Paul had arrived, he was aware that she had been observing him.
“Jeff, you jerk! You are…” “1 did not forward the video of your adultery to your husband. It’s something I don’t want to lose like that” Jeff answered. “I hope that finally answered your question and please refrain from mentioning words like promise or trust whenever we see.
It’s annoying to hear it from you.” Jeff turned around and left before Rachael had a chance to speak.
Rachael didn’t know why Emmanuel was acting strange and it was really
getting on her nerves. Having failed to persuade Adrian Ferqin to work with her, she made the decision to speak with Jeff directly.
If Jeff didn’t inform Emmanuel about anything, then why was he like that? Why was he avoiding her? The next day was school day.
Jeff headed straight to his Faculty with Billy by his side. They had met at the school gate, Billy eagerly discussing his weekend escapades.
But then Billy remembered that he saw Jeff get out of a sleek red sports car, and that is when their conversation stopped.
It was like he just processed his
thoughts.
He couldn’t believe his eyes and exclaimed, “Jeff, is that your car? At the school gate, the car from which you got out? Is it yours? Are you rich or something?” Jeff, sporting a nonchalant expressio.s, smirked and replied, “Well, Billy, maybe I am, and maybe I’m not.” Billy was curious and wanted to ask more questions of Jeff, but before he could say anything more, a familiar voice cut them off.
It was David, their senior. His sharp tone pierced through the air as he yelled at them, “You guys are chitchatting early in the morning when the Medical Contest has just been announced! You guys are incompetent.
Do you think we are jokes?”
Jeff showed no sign of change in response to David’s rebuke. His words dripped with an air of calmness.as he looked directly at David and replied, “Sorry, Senior, but I believe talking with a friend won’t harm anyone.
Besides, being ‘incompetent’ is subjective, don’t you think?” Billy was shocked by Jeff’s unexpected behavior and gave him a disbelieving Jook. Despite the negative remarks made about him by the entire class, he remained silent and responded without emotion.
Billy didn’t know what David had done because he wasn’t present in their first meeting.
Sensing the tension, Billy hesitated before cautiously interjecting, “Senior, what’s the medical quiz? I never heard
of it.” “It’s a quiz between the medicinal departments. Dr. Williams is waiting for us, let’s go.”
