Counterattack Strategies

for something, he would not refuse as long as he could do it.

Lu Jingqian is not much of a tea lover either.
After putting the medicine box in his hand on the table, he said with a smile, “Thank you.
I came today to thank you for giving me a ride last night.
This is a thank you gift.”

Antwin took a look at the small box, and although he did not know what was inside, he felt some doubt.
This matter, what can be worthy of him to specifically send a thank you gift?

Lu Jingqian opened the box, “These are some medicines my father left behind when he was alive.
It’s not much, but I think it should be enough for dozens of your subordinates who were injured by the wolves.”

Antwin was not really surprised.
The medicines left by Heron’s father were something that everyone in the entire continent wanted but could not ask for.
If Heron’s father is still alive, they can still beg for these medicines, but now that Heron’s father had died, all the medicines which can be found by the White Knights had been taken away.

Although Antwin also knows that Heron’s father used to make a large batch of medicines during his lifetime, he did not know where it was hidden, and Heron himself has always said that he does not know where the medicines were hidden.
Therefore, now in the entire continent, the medicine left by Hyrum’s father can be said to be one of the rarest and most precious things.
Something that cannot even be exchanged for gold.

Antwin didn’t expect Lu Jingqian would give him these medicines as a thank-you gift.
Moreover, it wasn’t really something to be thanked for.

“Those injured subordinates of yours should be anxiously waiting for the medicine now.
Why don’t I go over with you to see them? If these medicines are not enough, I still have more somewhere.” Lu Jingqian said.

Antwin did not have time to think more, and it was too late to say anything.
With these medicines, his subordinates who were injured no longer have to suffer from pain, and after the wound is healed, they do not have to quit the Order.

Antwin immediately took Lu Jingqian with him to the training institute hospital and gave those medicines to the doctors so that they could treat the injured knights as soon as possible.

Those doctors simply treat those medicines as treasures when they saw them.
They can not even afford to waste even a milligram of it, and very carefully weighed the dosage.

Looking at his subordinates who had their pain gradually relieved after using the medicine, the anxiety in Antwin’s heart also ease slightly.
He expressed his gratitude to Lu Jingqian as he was sending him off.

Lu Jingqian said, “These medicines are my gift to you, so you don’t have to thank me anymore.”

Antwin looked at Lu Jingqian, some words had come to his lips, but he still did not ask them out.

But even if he didn’t say anything, Lu Jingqian knew what he wanted to ask.
“Are you trying to ask me where those medicines that my father hid are?”

Antwin acquiesced.
It was a question that people all over the continent wanted to know, and he was certainly no exception.
But as long as Lu Jingqian does not want to say them, he will not use any means to force him, he still has this bit of conscience.

“I want to make a deal with you.” Lu Jingqian stopped and looked at Antwin and said.

“What’s the deal?” Antwin asked.

“As you probably should know, it’s not safe around me, and I don’t have anyone I can trust who can protect me.
So I was hoping you could send someone to protect me.” Lu Jingqian said, “Of course, I will not let you work for nothing, I will let you get what you want.”

“Why did you seek me out to help you?” Antwin still does not fully understand, “As far as I know, you and Chuck have known each other since childhood, you always had a good relationship.
Has he now failed your trust?”

“Whether or not Chuck can still be trusted, I’m not going to count on him to protect me.” Lu Jingqian looked at Antwin seriously and said, “If I told you that Bonia is not a real prophet at all, would you believe me?”

Antwin’s eyes flashed with shock and wonder, but his expression remained calm as he looked at Lu Jingqian and asked, “How do you know he’s not a prophet? He’s identified a lot of werewolves, so if he’s not a prophet, how did he do it?”

Lu Jingqian laughed and said, “I can’t answer this question for you yet.
If you can’t trust me, you can reject my offer.”

Lu Jingqian knew that now was not yet the time to tell the truth.
Because Antwin’s favorability toward him has not reached a certain level yet.
If he told Antwin that Bonia is the Wolf King, he would not believe him.
Therefore, some words can only be said until this point for now.
It’s good to leave a little doubt in Antwin’s heart.

Antwin looked at Lu Jingqian for a moment while thinking and said, “Since you are willing to trust me and let me send someone to protect you, I seem to have no reason to refuse you.
Took it as doing it for the sake of your father who has helped me so many times.
I will not refuse your offer.
But, naturally, it would be better if you can give me what I want.”

“Don’t worry.
I’ll give it to you, but only when the time is right.” When Lu Jingqian said the right time, he meant when Antwin’s favorability toward him was a little higher than it is now.
And those medicines are his biggest leverage now.
If all those medicines were taken out when Antwyn’s favorability toward him was not high enough, it might create some variables he could not control afterward.
After all, you can’t be too wary of people.
Even if he knows Antwin is a pretty trustworthy person, it’s not his style to put his hopes completely on someone he’s not yet familiar with.

The two of them had reached an agreement.
So when Lu Jingqian went back, Antwin assigned five knights to return with him and to protect him in the future.

The day after Lu Jingqian returned, Chuck and Bonia brought people to his door, he had expected them to come, only that they came a little faster than he expected.
