Chapter 1684 Lost His Cool
Kurt then retracted his gaze and had his usual indifferent expression on his face. When I woke up, I really lost my memory. However, I slowly regained my senses thanks to the worm in me that I’d been training. So yes, I did lose my memory earlier.”
Xayden’s expression changed instantly. So he was infected? Oh, what am I supposed to do now, and who did it?
With those questions in his mind, Xayden’s expression became more and more solemn.
Before he could say or ask anything, Kurt blurted, “Don’t worry. Although I don’t remember, I’ve already found out who the culprit is.”
“Oh?” Xayden was delighted.
“Who is it? Have you caught him? Have you gotten rid of the worm?” Xayden asked anxiously because he was truly concerned about him after all.
To his disappointment, Kurt didn’t provide him with an answer. Instead, he gradually shifted his cold gaze toward him and asked, “What have you found out after roaming around?”
“What?” Xayden was dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, people with high intelligence would just get straight to the point in conversations. However, Kurt was speaking to an idiot.
Sadly, this is not going to work. Kurt frowned and asked impatiently, “Weren’t you looking at the amber? Didn’t you see anything out of the ordinary?”
Xayden was in utter shock. Wow! That’s incredible! This guy is just like Mr. Hayes! How did he know that without even seeing me there?
Xayden wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead and flashed a sly grin. “I did see something. If I’m not mistaken, the amber isn’t made of resin.”
“No?”
“No. That’s actually the saliva of some animal. I’ve even seen some larvae moving around in it. Hence, you should first find out how many people in the palace aren’t infected yet.”
Suddenly, Kurt’s expression changed dramatically the moment he heard those words. Infected? Is he talking about people getting infected with worms? Could it be that the golden amber here has become the breeding ground for those disgusting worms? If that’s the case, what does that mean for the people in the palace?
Kurt was enraged. He angrily clenched his fists and crumpled the writing he had just done, and his eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent.
“It’s inconvenient for you, right? It’s okay. I can help you. At the same time, I’m interested in finding out what’s going on here as well.” Upon seeing how angry Kurt was, Xayden immediately promised to help him on that matter.
At that moment, Kurt’s chest was heaving rapidly.
In the end, when finally regained his composure, he raised his head and looked at Xayden. “How about her? Is she all right?”
Xayden was stumped. Her? Who is he talking about?
Again, Xayden scratched the back of his head before saying, “Who are you talking about? Are you talking about Ms. Vivian? If so, I’m not sure. Since I’ve only found out about it today, I’d have to check on her and her brother when we get back.”
Crack!
Another thing had broken. This time around, it was the coffee cup placed next to Kurt. He squeezed the cup so hard that he had broken it into pieces.
“I’ve already gotten her to leave this place earlier on. Riley just had to create a problem and get her back here again. And now, such a thing had happened. What to do now? Tell me! What are we going to do?” Within seconds, Kurt’s calmness had disappeared. Instead, he was trembling with rage. He shouted so loudly that even the guards guarding the entrance could hear him.
Xayden was stunned. What’s going on? Isn’t this guy always as cool as a cucumber? Who would’ve thought he’d ever lost his cool?
Xayden quickly comforted him, “Calm down. Even if she’s infected, I’m here! Also, she isn’t exposed to it for too long. I can easily get rid of it.”
Kurt finally calmed down upon hearing that.
Right at that moment, Lucy was walking up the stairs toward them. “Prince Kurt, I’ve brought you some desserts.”
Xayden’s expression changed upon hearing that.
He then hastily picked up the container and got ready to leave.
“Oh! By the way, be careful of this woman. I’ve smelled a strong scent of drugs on her. If that’s really the case, you ought to be wary of her.” Before Xayden left, he didn’t forget to give Kurt a reminder.
However, Kurt had something else on his mind. “When will you have the results?”
“Oh? That? Tomorrow, perhaps. I’ll let you know tomorrow. Calm down,” Xayden replied awkwardly before leaving with the container.
“Xayden, you’re still here?” Lucy asked.
“Yes, Ms. Lucy. Apparently, Prince Kurt doesn’t drink this. I’ve tried my best to convince him, but he wouldn’t budge. I can’t deal with him. Here!” Xayden acted like he was exasperated and handed the container over to Lucy.
With that, he stormed off.
Lucy was rendered speechless.
When she looked at Kurt, she saw the grouchy look on his face. Beside him, there were several crumpled paper balls. It seems like he’s too moody to draw.
Lucy quickly dispelled her suspicions and walked over to him.
