Nicholas might have been Juprus, but the title sounded awkward. Marcus nodded and said, "Yes, I'm... I've been sent by Juprus."
Renae's expression shifted unpredictably, as if she were weighing something. After a long pause, her gaze grew resolute.
She looked at Matthew and said, "I don't care about the agreements you had with my husband's family.
"My father-in-law and husband are both dead, and they both died because of that book, the Scholarly Tradition. I'm someone who holds grudges. As for keeping agreements, that's not my concern!"
Matthew frowned. It seemed Renae wasn't planning to hand over the token and the medical literature, but deep down, he felt some compassion for her.
After a moment of silence, he said, "If you keep them, you might run into more trouble. That Ted we just saw seems to be here for more than just you."
Renae was quite beautiful, with a unique charm characteristic of a mature woman. She had full red lips, enchanting eyes, and a slender, graceful neck. Her full figure was evident from her clothes, and she also had a slim waist and curvy hips.
She had an alluring appearance that could attract any man. However, he didn't believe that Ted, given his background in Lambda City, couldn't find a woman like her.
A hint of panic flickered in Renae's eyes, as if her thoughts had been read.
She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Can you tell me the date when the Afflictan Sect's legacy was passed down to the Paynes?"
Matthew noticed that Renae was quite wary. He said, "It was 56 years ago, in midsummer, when your father-in-law had cervical nerve pain.
"My mentor used the Afflictan Sect's three-edged needles to perform bloodletting along the meridians. A total of 72 needles were used, which cured your father-in-law's condition. Is that information
sufficient?"
