Chapter 365

But Jules thought it should be fine.

The medicine wasn't potent, and it wouldn't harm the body. At worst, it only served

as a little boost, an extra push, nothing significant.

Whether it worked or not depended on the person smelling it—if they were

inclined, if their desires were strong, and so on.

Jinx also came to her senses, nervously exchanging glances with Jules, both of them lowering their heads in silence.

Erik and Nyx had just married and were at their peak of affection. Now, they were probably already in the heat of passion, so they didn't dare to interrupt them.

Jules couldn't help but recall the scene she had glimpsed earlier when she barged in.

Though it was only a brief and hasty glance, she was certain she had seen them nestled together, Erik lying on Nyx's lap, the vibe warm and peaceful.

Erik seemed to have two faces-before them, he was like a fierce god of death, but in front of Nyx, he could act gentle and harmless. She couldn't tell if it was an act.

Jules pressed her lips together and clenched her fists. Although her life was temporarily spared, she wasn't afraid of losing it. If Erik betrayed Nyx, as long as Jules was alive, she would risk everything to take his life.

A qualified tool, not only with exceptional hearing as a talent, but also skilled in assassination. Jinx's thoughts synchronized with Jules', and she gently stroked her sleeve.

If Nyx had been even a second later in entering, they would've pulled out their weapons.

In the past, they would have never stood a chance against Erik, but now that he had a crippled leg, perhaps they had a slight chance.

The sisters were lost in their thoughts, and before they knew it, they had been led to a corner of the residence.

"Hand over what's in your sleeves, Arlong stopped and extended his hand toward them. “You can keep your hairpins, though."

The two of them froze, startled. They thought, 'How did he know we have hidden weapons in our sleeves?'

Seeing Arlong's calm demeanor and hearing his even tone, they finally realized the truth.

Not only had their spy identities been exposed, but every move, every weapon, and every tactic had been scrutinized in this residence.

"If it weren't for Madam's face, you would already be dead," Arlong smiled.

He wasn't threatening them, as he was just stating a fact.

His master never tolerated traitors. Rather than spending energy verifying their testimonies, it was better to kill them cleanly.

Although Arlong had always disapproved of such a brutal approach, he couldn't persuade his master otherwise.

Nyx was different. She didn't even need to persuade Erik-once Nyx had shown favor, he would hesitate to act against anyone she had taken a liking to.

Arlong shook his head, feeling a mix of emotions as he confiscated Jinx and Jules' weapons, unsure whether to feel happy or worried.

His master was strong-willed, and once he set his mind on something, not even the lord or the emperor's orders could change his decision. Nyx was the first variable to appear in the past ten years.

It was like the old saying, "everything has its match." Even without any strong measures, she managed to tame the master completely.

It was a good thing, in theory, that someone could persuade the master. But the master's infatuation with the lady was deeper than he imagined. If she were ever used by someone or something happened to her, the master would likely lose his sanity and act out of control.
