Little did Axton and Donald know that Rayleigh and Melanie had overheard their conversation from a few seats away. Although the two spoke softly, Rayleigh caught every word they said.
Melaine frowned and asked, “Mr. Deragon, they must be looking for your detoxification pill. Who are they?”
“They are from the Medicine God Sect. I didn't expect people from there to be interested in Jared and Xander's match,” Rayleigh muttered indifferently.
“Medicine God Sect?” Melanie was surprised to hear that. “I heard those people were arrogant and regarded themselves as superior beings. If they pride themselves as honorable people, why would they have such a greedy thought?”
“Hmph!” Rayleigh snorted, “When it comes to such benefits, nothing else would matter. Who cares whether they are upright or not? Have you forgotten who picked you up and handed you over to me?”
Melaine's expression changed almost instantly. Sounding hurt, she mumbled, “You told me that Brody from the Village of Villains passed me
to you.”
Rayleigh nodded. “There are rumors that people from the Village of Villains are wicked. However, when Brody saw you on the streets, he had the heart to take you in. Do you think he is a bad guy then?”
In response, Melanie shook her head. Recalling her past conversation with Rayleigh, she turned back to him and muttered, “Mr. Deragon, you mentioned you would take me to the Village of Villains if we had the time. I like to meet my benefactor in person.”
“Yes. Let's speak about it after July 15. Who knows, I might need the help of those from the Village of Villains. The Deragons will not let Jared off so easily, and I don't think Mr. Draco and me are enough to protect him.”
Rayleigh seemed sullen as he spoke of the situation.
“Mr. Deragon, who the hell is Jared? Why do you and Old Mr. Deragon have to go to such lengths to protect him?” Melanie curiously probed.
“It's for your own good to know as little as possible. Also, don't use your Seduction Technique carelessly. You have a natural feminine charm. If someone evil catches wind of it, it will mean trouble for you,” Rayleigh reminded her.
“I understand.” Melanie nodded her head in acknowledgment.
