Faariq immediately grasped something. Looking downcast, he spoke through gritted teeth, "That Eddy brat was conspiring with Kamber all along. If not, why was he so stubbornly stopping Fade from treating

Tabro?"

"That Eddy! He's been secretly helping him!"

"F*ck! Eddy might have been involved in forcing Mona into marriage as well!"

The horde of villagers seethed with indignation. Faariq raised a hand and said, "Let's go out. I want to see what that Ma guy intends to do!"

"Yes, let's go out and meet them!"

"If he's still insistent on harassing Mona, we'll teach him a lesson!"

At that point in the conversation, the group of villagers rushed out. When Tabro and his family were about to head out too, Faariq blocked their path and advised them to rest inside.

As the villagers left the house, they soon saw two figures walking towards them from afar.

One of them was the tall and lanky Eddy, while the other was a short and chubby man, with a fat face and a pair of small eyes that resembled beans. Holding a medical kit, he trotted over, looking smug. That person was none other than the famous Dr. Ma, Kamber Ma.

"Hah, you're all outside!" Eddy addressed the crowd with a triumphant expression. He pointed to the man beside him and said, "Dr. Ma has arrived. Why aren't you guys ushering him in?"

However, the villagers, who were standing in front of them, did not give way. Instead, they took a step forward to get closer to the two men.

Faariq shot Eddy a fierce glare, then turned to Kamber. "Why are you here?"

Kamber looked over to the house behind them. His lips twisted into a smile as he replied, "You don't know why I'm here? Tabro got bitten by a snake and can't get rid of the venom. Thus, I'm here to cure him, o course."

"You're the one who called him?" The villagers fixed their gazes on Eddy when they heard what the doctor had to say.

Eddy began making excuses. "I did it out of goodwill. Across the land, who doesn't know that Dr. Ma is a master of detoxifying snake venom? According to my judgment, no one can cure Tabro's injuries except for him. You guys..."

Kamber waved his hand around in the air, stopping Eddy from going on. Rather, he took a step forward and bellowed, "Let's stop wasting time. Saving a life is of utmost importance. Removing the venom from his system takes priority!"

However, Faariq and the rest refused to budge. They continued glaring heatedly at Kamber. Faariq said, "Tabro has already told us all about what you want to do." "You have no right to touch Mona."

Kamber's face sank at those words. His expression grew twisted, and in a deep voice, he said, "I truly love Mona. Is there anything wrong with me marrying her?"

"Plus, my family is one of the richest in the area. If Mona marries me, both she and Tabro will benefit."

"Oh, please! Kamber, why don't take a look at yourself? What kind of morals do you have? And you want to marry Mona?"

"Mona isn't even of age yet and you, on the other hand, are old enough to be her grandfather. Do you hear the nonsense you're spouting?"

"You're old but you have no sense of shame. An elderly man like you, and you're still thinking of

young maidens!"

There was a torrent of swearing.

Kamber's expression changed, but he snickered and then went on, "We're in the modern era. A little age difference is nothing. There are even 18-year-old girls who are married to men in their eighties. My age is perfectly acceptable."

"Besides, I truly love Mona."

"True love, what b*llshit! If it's true love, why did you try to lay your hands on Mona before? You're a criminal."

"Also, what's with you threatening Ta bro's family?"

"If you do it again, we'll report you."

Facing the rage-filled insults,

Kamber's expression could turn a man to stone. He furrowed his eyebrows, making no attempt to hide his annoyance. He gestured vaguely and said, "This is my business. There's no need for you guys to meddle in it."

After that, he cleared his throat and shouted, "Tabro, the venom you have gotten is from a rare species of Fire Ring Snake. You have at least one more hour to live. If we don't begin treatment now, your life will be in danger."

"And, Mona, if you want to save your father, come out and promise to marry me.

"By the way, my patience is limited. If you don't come out in ten minutes, then I'll head in. By then, it'll be too late for you lot to have regrets."

After saying so, Kamber plonked himself down on a rock, crossing his legs and whistling smugly.

The villagers couldn't contain their rage at that moment. They couldn't wait to rush up and beat that guy up. However, at the thought of Kamber's vicious younger brother, Forbes, they dared not step forward. Right then, Fade walked out amidst the crowd and looked at Kamber. He asked, "You just got the news that Tabro was poisoned by a snake. Now, how did you know that it was specifically a Fire Ring Snake?" Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Kamber looked up at him and frowned. "Who are you?"

From the side, Eddy hurried over and whispered something into his ear.

Kamber continued sizing Fade up. His expression changed when he heard what Eddy told him. "Oh, are you the tourist? You're the one who said that you could cure Tabro?" "Yes, that's me." Fade nodded.

"Hahaha!" Kamber burst out guffawing and then gave Fade a mocking look. "What a joke. Kiddo, are you even old enough? You can remove the venom of a Fire Ring Snake? Hilarious!" Fade didn't laugh. Instead, he asked in a stone-cold tone, "You haven't answered my question yet. How did you know that Tabro was bitten by a Fire Ring Snake?"

Something shifted in Kamber's expression when he was confronted with the question. He arched his neck and said, "I just know. It's none of your business as to how I knew." "You just know?" Fade narrowed his eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, you had something to do with Tabro being bitten!"

"I was just chatting with the villagers and found out that Tabro is a

famous herb-forager here. He's someone who has been in and

of the forest for thirty years. He get

couldn't be more familiar with this place. He knows exactly where the poisonous snakes and insects are."

"He's been fine for all these years, but suddenly, he was bitten by a snake. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What is even more strange is that

the snake that bit him, the Fire Ring Snake, was extremely venomous. However they are extremely rare here, and you, Dr. Ma, who's known for your skills at detoxifying snake venom, don't you keep many such snakes at home?"

"Plus, you wanted to force Mona to marry you. If we connect all these dots... I can't help but be riddled with certain bad assumptions about you."

"What do you have to say to that, Dr. Ma?" Fade concluded.

"I..." Kamber was struck speechless.

The villagers began pondering the matter once they heard Fade's deductions. "Fade's words make sense. There are too many suspicious points in this incident." "One can't help but suspect Kamber." "Could Kamber have planned this all along?"
