Chapter 39 Bridget’s Ambition
Therefore, when Isabella saw Bridget, a subtle feeling rose in her.
Carlos was Grandmaster’s younger brother. Years ago, Carlos killed almost half of the village to steal the Legacy of Evil Doctors. He was then expelled from the sanctum by his and Grandmaster’s master.
From then onwards, Grandmaster kept and sealed the Legacy of Evil Doctors.
Carlos’s medical talent was not as high as the Grandmaster back then. So, he looked for another path and wanted to learn the Legacy of Evil Doctors secretly.
Although he did not get it, he had learned some poison usages in the Legacy of Evil Doctors.
Later, the master passed away, and Grandmaster never found any disciples he liked.
As the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, he was a bachelor. Only when he met Isabella did he find his successor.
After Isabella learned everything, he excitedly handed the leader position to her.
Meanwhile, Carlos disappeared after being chased out of the sanctum.
But time changed and decades passed. Soon, Carlos’s name was heard again.
He claimed to be the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors and had high medical skills. After all, he did have some medical skills.
Even though they were of average quality, the disciples who came out of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors were much better than ordinary doctors.
Carlos’s reputation grew after he cured several prominent figures.
From then on, his reputation soared. His image changed from the guilty disciple who had been chased out of the sanctum into the traditional medicine practitioner and the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors with outstanding medical skills.
The true former leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, Greg Falkona, and Isabella, the current leader, always kept a low profile, unlike Carlos.
For some reason, Grandmaster was unwilling to leave Lotus Village.
Meanwhile, Isabella would not use the name of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors unless she had no choice.
Isabella was not even going to show others her ability.
She liked the freedom and life filled with leisure. All she wanted was to educate her kids and live an easy life. Fame was not what she yearned for.
The Grandmaster and her were totally different from Carlos.
However, Carlos and his disciple, Bridget, were keen on fame and fortune.
Isabella had even heard of rumors that Bridget was from the Riker family. They had brought Bridget up by the standard of the chieftain’s wife of the Lockwood family.
“It’s indeed…” An ironic smile appeared on Isabella’s face.
Bridget, whose face was cold, was enraged when she saw Isabella remaining calm and even sneer.
That woman was more beautiful than she expected. Even if she did not want to admit it, she had to accept the fact that Isabella was more beautiful than herself.
It was still tolerable if Isabella was just pretty. Yet, that woman was eating something from her house.
“I can sue you for breaking and entering!” Bridget showed her anger.
isabella laughed and took another sip of wine. “Really? Well, can I call the police and report Skydragon’s territory and shut it down?
“Then, track your place from the Skydragon’s territory, Miss Riker?”
“You know me?” Bridget said as she squinted her eyes and prepared to use her dagger.
Isabella glanced at the dagger in Bridget’s hands and saw the faint blue luster. She saw that the dagger was poisoned, as expected from Carlos’s disciple.
She smiled and hid her disdainful gaze.
“Heh. It seems you have done some homework just for Draxton that you even know who I am.
“But you are something. I heard you gave birth to Draxton’s kid.
“You do have some ability to win Draxton’s heart. Well, I haven’t gotten to know you more. What’s your name?”
“I’m Isabella Thompson, a nobody. But I got to know about you not because of Draxton. It’s because of your master, Carlos.
“After all, how could the man who was expelled from the Sanctum of Holy Doctors be the leader of it?”
Isabella watched Bridget’s expression change and showed a meaningful smile.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t want to have any friction with you, Miss Riker. After all, you have deceived the world But that is your business, not mine
“But the weird thing is that the people of Skydragon kidnapped me.
“I could do nothing and found this tunnel. So, I followed this tunnel to this place
“It is not my fault that I am here uninvited. It’s your men who took me here forcefully! You can’t blame me for that, can you?”
She took another sip of wine leisurely.
It pissed off Bridget to hear that. She had never seen such an arrogant woman before.
“Who are you? How do you know my master’s name and everything about him?
“Do you have something to do with Greg? But Greg is dead, isn’t he?”
Bridget’s heart hammered, and she felt she had gotten to know some secret.
Isabella scoffed, “Miss Riker, it’s not a good habit to curse someone’s master to death for no reason.” “Are you a disciple of Greg?”
Startled, Bridget’s body swayed, and she tried hard to remain calm. But she could not help herself from staring at Isabella in shock.
She wondered why there would be someone better than her in medicine.
In fact, her master had also told her that they would be invincible if they did not encounter anyone of the Falkona family’s descendants or disciples.
According to some reliable information, they were confident that Greg was dead.
No one knew where he was.
But now, the disciple of Greg appeared before her. She was not only his mortal enemy in medicine but also in marriage.
Bridget even began to doubt if that woman had appeared before her and gone against her on purpose.
With that in mind, Bridget furrowed, and a killing intent appeared on her face.
Her master had told her that the Falkona family was indeed superior in medicine but that he was superior in poison
Therefore, Bridget was confident she could kill Isabella.
She would kill that woman and deal with the others later. ·
It was better to kill this woman than to keep her. Keeping Isabella might bring trouble to herself.
With that thought in mind, Bridget grabbed the poisoned dagger and dashed toward Isabella.
However, Isabella was chewing the beef bacon without lifting her head.
“If I were you, I’d be wise and put down the dagger. After all, you can’t kill me, and you’ll be the only one to lose.”
