"I''m not, but you are!" Leia snapped furiously.


    "You''re wrong-I''m the smart one who calls out lovestruck fools!" Xavier sneered.


    Both Owen and Quinton automatically took a step back and watched their fight. Honestly, it looked like


    a lovers'' quarrel... and it was rather sweet.


    At that moment, a servant hurried into the room. "They''re back! They''re home!"


    "They''re back?" Both Leia and Xavier immediately stopped arguing, then childishly rushed to the door,


    each trying to outrun each other.


    "I knew Stefan could do it! He could even find a mythical item... What a guy! " As Stefan''s first fan,


    Xavier easily outran Leia and was the first to reach the door to wee them.


    However, to his confusion, only Elijah and a stranger were walking towards them slowly.


    "Mr. Stuart!" When Elijah saw Xavier, his eyes glistened with unshed tears. He looked exhausted, and


    anyone looking at him could tell that things had not gone smoothly for them.


    "Where''s Stefan? I don''t... see him." Xavier looked around anxiously, his stomach sinking. He turned to


    the stranger beside Elijah suspiciously.


    "This is Neil, our guide when we went to Dragos. It was because of him that we got the dragon''s


    saliva," Elijah introduced Neil to Xavier calmly.


    "Hello, everyone. The dragon''s saliva is with me; Mr. Hunt urged me to give it to you all..." Neil had


    never been to a huge city like Beach City, and looked overwhelmed and timid. He was holding the box


    that contained the dragon''s saliva tightly, knowing it could decide the fate of his n and save Renee.


    Neil sighed, then said firmly, "Hear me out-the dragon''s saliva determines my n''s prosperity and


    future. I can only give you a bit, and then I''ll take the rest back to my vige."

    "I don''t care about that-l want to know where Stefan is! Why didn''t hee back with you?" Xavier had


    no interest in the dragon''s saliva. All he cared about was Stefan.


    "Mr. Hunt, he..." Neil''s grip on the box tightened, and he looked reluctant to speak.


    Elijah walked into the manor and said seriously, "We don''t have the time to argue. We''ve got to get the


    dragon''s saliva to Dr. Wagner so he cane up with an antidote for Ms. Everheart. If not... Mr. Hunt''s


    efforts would be in vain."


    "His... efforts?" Xavier had a growing feeling that something was wrong. He grabbed Elijah''s cor and


    demanded urgently, "What the hell happened to Stefan?"
