37: Ron, who temporarily passed

Hearing Gevas's reply, Mirar understood his implied meaning and asked, puzzled, "What? Did something go wrong?"

Gevas didn't answer. He first handed over the information on Pollock and the others to Mirar.

Then, he picked up Ron's information again and sighed, saying, "There's a kid named Ron. He was originally an orphan, very easy to control."

"But somehow, he got lucky and is now Doctor Litton's assistant."

"So, I can't touch him and can only let him off for now…"

Mirar was surprised to hear Ron's name.

"Ron? So, you couldn't handle him either?"

"Either?"

Gevas frowned, keenly noticing the loophole in Mirar's words.

So, he scowled and said coldly, "Mirar, tell me, what do you mean by — couldn't handle him either?"

Mirar gave an awkward smile and had no choice but to tell Gevas what had happened earlier.

Gevas's eyebrows furrowed, and he suppressed his anger, saying, "Since you knew about it the day before yesterday, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Mirar felt a little guilty but still braced herself and explained, "You're the Captain of the City Guard. I thought you'd have a way to deal with that kid…"

Gevas laughed in extreme anger. If Mirar wasn't the head of the Saar Family in Hibo Town,

He would have slapped her long ago and taught this ignorant woman a harsh lesson.

"Forget it… that kid has Litton's protection. We'll let him off for now," Gevas snorted, but Mirar was still a bit unwilling.

"Ah? But Ron is the most suitable person among these for the Blood Sacrifice…"

Being under eighteen and unmarried were just two essential conditions for becoming a Blood Sacrifice.

However, besides these, there were also some additional conditions.

For example, a well-proportioned physique was preferred, while short and weak ones were secondary.

A handsome appearance was preferred, while an ugly one was secondary.

A graceful demeanor was preferred, while a shifty-eyed one was secondary… and so on. In short, the more conditions met, the higher the grade of the Blood Sacrifice.

And Ron happened to be the person Mirar had seen who best met the conditions for a Blood Sacrifice.

He was not only handsome, tall and slender, but also cheerful and outgoing.

For those wealthy and powerful nobles, perhaps he would be unremarkable and not worth mentioning.

However, Mirar wanted slaves!

For these slaves, most of whom were sons of farmers, Ron's conditions were already the best among them!

Especially Ron's face, though youthful and delicate, also exuded a hint of heroic spirit.

Such an appearance, even among the young masters in Kura City, could be considered outstanding.

Otherwise, Mirar wouldn't have fantasized about tricking Ron into becoming a slave, enjoying him herself first, and then offering him to the Saar Family.

"Shut up. Even if he meets the conditions, now is not the time to act!" Gevas rolled his eyes and said irritably.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ron had Litton backing him, he would dare to find an excuse to forcibly take Ron away.

However, he had just killed Barto and his son a few days ago, transferring their property to Lola's name.

Now, he was also using the pretext of searching for the murderer to frame Pollock and others, turning them into slaves.

The two combined had already drawn a lot of attention.

If he were to act against Ron again, and Litton made a fuss… Gevas wasn't stupid. He could take risks, but he couldn't seek death himself!

Did he really think that if things blew up, no one would find out that the Saar Family believed in the Blood Moon Sect and even performed Blood Sacrifices year-round?

At that time, under the Holy Fire of the priests in the Kura City Cathedral, no one would be able to escape!

"Alright…" Mirar said disappointedly. In fact, she also understood this principle.

However, if they were to act, it would be Gevas taking the risk, not her.

If it failed, so be it, but if it succeeded, she would also benefit.

Therefore, Mirar had instigated Gevas.

It was just a pity that Gevas didn't fall for it.

"However…" At this moment, Gevas changed the subject.

"We can't touch him now, but that doesn't mean we can't in the future!"

"Wait ten days to half a month, when the public opinion here settles down, then you can make your move."

"Even if it takes a bit longer, even one or two months, it's not a big problem."

"After all, there are still three months until the Blood Sacrifice begins, aren't there?"

Mirar's eyes darted around, and she immediately smiled.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

When Litton and Ron returned to the clinic.

"Ron, are you alright?" Litton closed the door and turned to Ron, asking with some concern.

Ron forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Litton, I'm fine."

Then, Ron solemnly bowed, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you so much for testifying for me today, Mr. Litton!"

Litton waved his hand and said gently, "You're welcome, Ron. After all, you're my assistant, aren't you?"

Ron was stunned to hear this.

Then, the smile on his face seemed to become a bit more sincere.

At this moment, Doctor Litton remembered something and warned him seriously, "By the way, Ron, don't think that just because Gevas didn't make things difficult for you just now, he's a good City Guard. In reality…"

At this point, Litton suddenly stopped, showing an inexpressible expression.

As Barto's family doctor, he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about certain shady dealings, but he had heard whispers.

Therefore, he had always been very wary of Gevas and never provoked him.

Seeing this, Ron just nodded silently.

"Mr. Litton, thank you for the reminder. I understand."

Litton heard this and patted Ron's shoulder with relief.

"It's good that you understand. If you're willing, you can study medicine with me in the future."

"One day, if you can become a doctor like me, you won't be manipulated by them so easily."

Ron nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, Doctor Litton. I will work hard, but…"

Ron paused, then said with some melancholy, "If I could become a knight, wouldn't I be bullied by anyone?"

Litton was stunned, then laughed wryly, "Of course! But becoming a knight is too difficult."

"I also wanted to be a knight when I was young, but unfortunately, my talent was ordinary."

"I worked hard for several years and achieved nothing, so I later switched to studying medicine…"

As he spoke, Litton fell into past memories.

Ron raised an eyebrow, not expecting Litton to have such a past.

"You kid, don't be so ambitious. Just focus on studying medicine with me for now," Litton said with a smile as he came back to his senses.

Hearing this, Ron also scratched his head awkwardly.

"Yes, Mr. Litton."
