Chapter 815 Reward from Ms Tibarn

As soon as Emma heard that, she began recounting the scene in the garden with vivid detail.

She placed particular emphasis on just how unbearably slow Jim and Marcus had been.

Malrik’s lips twitched after listening.

A faint smile tugged at his mouth. “We should never let those two work together again. It’s a complete disaster.”

She shared the sentiment wholeheartedly. “I really didn’t expect them to be this slow when paired together. They weren’t like this when I saw them working in the kitchen before.”

Kieran let out a soft chuckle. “That’s probably because Jim doesn’t actually cook, so he barely did anything back then, and there were other people around as well.”

She nodded, finding his explanation reasonable.

She chose not to dwell on Jim and Marcus any longer. Her attention returned to the workbench as she immersed herself in blending fragrances.

Out in the garden.

The atmosphere remained heavy and sluggish.

Jim and Marcus moved as though everything around them had been slowed to half speed.

One of them carefully harvested flowers with his ability, his pace unhurried.

Another one lounged against a tree, looking as if he could fall asleep at any moment. The large basket in his hand remained nearly empty.

Leonard, who had been observing from a distance, sensed an opportunity.

He adjusted his collar, arranged a modest smile on his face, and walked over.

Thoughts raced through his mind, each plan falling into place. My objective is clear. Winning Emma over isn’t possible–for now. So I will start with the people around her.

Lucien and Calum remain my true targets. The others can become allies.

Leonard thought, If I win these two over and secure my footing in the castle, I can use them to isolate Lucien and Calum.

Once that’s done, my path forward becomes far easier.

Leonard approached them with that strategy in mind and spoke with polite courtesy. “Do you need a hand? These baskets are quite large. It must take a lot of effort to fill them. You must be exhausted.”

Chapter 815 Reward from Ms Tibarn

He cast a glance at the nearly empty basket and continued, “Why don’t I give you a hand?

“I’m fast. I could fill this in no time, and you’d be able to head back and rest instead of wasting energy

here.”

His hand reached toward the basket in Marcus‘ grasp. His posture lowered deliberately, as if every move came from genuine consideration.

Marcus had been slouched there, listless, staring blankly at a leaf.

The voice snapped him out of his daze. He lifted his eyelids lazily, his gaze cool and faintly irritated by the interruption.

A slight turn of his wrist avoided Leonard’s outstretched hand.

His eyes swept over Leonard from head to toe, as if examining something distasteful. A mocking curve formed at the corner of his lips, and his voice drifted out slow and venomous. “Worn out?

“Which eye

of yours says we’re worn out?” he inquired.

He shifted into a more comfortable lean against the tree, his tone light and dismissive. “This is a reward from Ms. Tibarn. You’re an outsider–what would you understand? And you want to help?

“What, trying to make yourself look good?” he questioned.

The smile on Leonard’s face stiffened instantly. His hand hovered awkwardly in midair, caught between retreat and persistence..

He had not expected such a cutting response after approaching with goodwill.

Before he could recover, Marcus spoke again.

A long finger lifted, pointing toward the farthest corner of the garden. “Since you have so much free time -and such a strong desire to prove your loyalty–perfect.”

Marcus‘ gesture shifted toward a few oddly shaped plants growing in the distance. “Those Nether herbs are delicate. They’re in desperate need of fertilizer. A compost bin sits over there. It’s filled with freshly delivered waste from high–tier beasts. Still warm.

“Go take care of those plants. Use your hands and bury it properly, bit by bit. That’s how you show sincerity,” he continued.

He finished with a look that clearly said that he had high expectations for him. He dismissed him without another glance and returned to staring at the flower in his hand.

Leonard’s face darkened at once. His expression nearly slipped out of control.
