Chapter 1340 Antidote

Clenching his fists, Culver bowed in respect as he declared, "Mr. Joseph, I will do whatever it takes at your command, whether 9,999 steps or 90,000 steps in total. I will make it to the top and obtain the antidote to cure her!”

Joseph's gaze swept over him. He replied, somewhat indignantly, "She is my wife. I will save her myself.”

"But Mr. Joseph.. if word of this gets out, you will become the laughing stock in town..."

The rich valued their reputation and dignity. Joseph was the head of the Collins family. Besides, he was Kylian, the Lord of Border, feared by many.

To have him kneel with each step he takes as he ascends the 9,999 steps, in search of a pearl that might not even exist, wouldn't it make him an object of ridicule among the rich?

Culver furrowed his eyebrows in disapproval.

However, did his opinion matter? Obviously not.

Joseph instructed, "Keep this a secret. Don't let Lucille get wind of the news."
