Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 18 Friendship Abandoned

But Hayden was not going to help him. He ignored Liam’s pleading look and turned to Violeta, saying. “Since you’re eager to join the fun, why don’t you decide on the punishment?”

Violeta’s eyes brightened. “Can I?”

Hayden nodded. “Yes”

Seeing this, Jasper laughed even louder. “Hahaha! Liam, it’s not too late for you to beg Vio for mercy!”

Liam was stunned. “Hade, you’ve changed. How can you do this? You abandoned our friendship over a girl. I hate you!” But Hayden ignored him.

Meanwhile, Violeta was full of mischief. She leaned over to whisper something to Jasper. These two were ingenious in their pranks, and their ideas were surprisingly in sync, making them perfect partners in

crime.

A moment later, Violeta cleared her throat, saying. “All right, I’ll give you a few options.”

“You can eat the fondue base, a raw pig’s brain, or drink a concoction.”

“Concoction? What kind of concoction?”

Violeta blinked mysteriously. “Of course, I can’t tell you that. Hurry up and choose!”

As she spoke, Jasper ate something from a bowl. It looked tasty.

Zoren and Liam exchanged glances and decided at the same time. “We will take the concoction!”

“Not bad. It’s a good choice!”

Jasper put down the bowl of pumpkin soup and asked the waiter to bring a blender.

Then, he added two raw eggs, two stalks of celery, two bitter gourds, and a tomato, along with sauerkraut, blue cheese, and durian flesh. He blended them in the blender until they became a thick, smoothie–like concoction. Lastly, he topped it with some coconut milk.

Violeta named the concoction Wide Awake Smoothie.

Zoren and Liam were horrified. The two of them looked at the bowl of slush before them and felt

nauseous.

“Are you sure it’s edible?”

Violeta replied, “Why would it not be?”

Jasper agreed with Violeta. “All the ingredients it contains are naturally edible. Although we don’t know for sure whether it will cause diarrhea.”
