Chapter 1071 Was It You

Garett was utterly stunned by the fact that Alex had taken care of the group of young men so easily. Additionally, he had not expected Alex to demand that they summon their sect leader. Does he have a death

wish?

"Mr. Jefferson, I'm all right now, so you should hurry and leave! This is what the Greaves family deserves. We shouldn't involve you in our affairs. Please hurry and leave. I've seen the sect leader in action before. The methods he employs are extraordinary. It's not something you can handle!" Earnestly, Garett tried to convince Alex to make his escape.

When Alex saw that Garett was so concerned about him despite being so heavily injured himself, he grabbed a pill and gave it to the elderly man.

"Mr. Greaves, you're heavily injured, so you shouldn't be worrying about me. Don't worry, as I have a plan, You should take this pill first," Alex suggested. Bewilderment colored Garett's eyes as he accepted the black pill from Alex. He had no idea why the latter wanted him to consume it.

Garett did not think that a pill would be able to cure the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the men earlier. An ordinary person would assume that a person who was injured or sick had to go to the hospital. Even if they took medication for an external injury, it would take a long time to recover.

Moreover, Garett was well aware of his own body's current condition. He was already well into his seventies. Thus, his body was not like that of a younger person. His bones broke at the slightest touch, and the people who assaulted him had been vicious.

Those men had kicked at his right calf, breaking the bone. Even if he went to the hospital and got surgery, it was likely he would have to spend the rest of his days in a wheelchair.

Enduring the pain, Garett smiled slightly as he passed the pill back to Alex. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jefferson. Unfortunately, my injuries are too severe. I doubt the pill will have any effect on me." Alex did not retrieve the pill. With a faint smile of his own, he said, "Mr. Greaves, do you not believe in my abilities? Or did you think I passed you something poisonous?"

"That wasn't my intention," Garett hurriedly explained, afraid that Alex would misconstrue his words.

"If that's the case, trust me and consume this pill!" Alex declared.

Since Alex was insisting that Garett take the medicinal pill, he would probably misunderstand if the latter continued to refuse the offer. Garett eyed the pill in his hand and came to a decision. In the end, it did not matter even if it was poisonous,

Garett swallowed the black pill. Initially, he had assumed that it would do nothing for his injuries. However, he felt the amazing effects of the pill the moment it entered his stomach. Parts of his body where he had been beaten up had been throbbing in pain, and some spots were even bleeding. After consuming the pill, he felt the pain instantly disappear. Even the injury on his right leg was gradually healing In just mere minutes, Garett felt as if he no longer needed to get surgery His leg had miraculously recovered! The peculiar sensation that came from different parts of Garett's body excited him. Upon standing up, he felt as if his body was in much better shape than before

"Mr. Jefferson, how can such a tiny pill have such a tremendous effect? It's miraculous! The effects are so mysterious that I can't believe it's real!" Garett exclaimed excitedly. When Alex saw that Garett had recovered, he smiled. "I can give you more of those pills if you like."

Garett hurriedly shook his head. As far as he knew, those pills were extremely valuable. Mr. Jefferson has already helped me so much. How could I demand something so precious from him? He already felt as if he could never repay Alex for that one pill he had just consumed. At the very least, he would not have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The pill Alex had given Garett earlier was something the former had made on a whim. For someone like Alex, who was a half Grandmaster, his body would heal by itself even if he were injured. Hence, the pill wasn't very useful to him.

Just then, the doors of the Greaves residence were thrown open. A man who appeared to be in his fifties to sixties came out. He gave off an imposing aura as several youngsters trailed behind him.

The man who had just come out of the Greaves residence eyed the people sprawled on the ground before turning his gaze to Alex. In a deep voice, he asked, "Were you the one who beat them up?"
