Salute To The General

Chapter 3382 Repeated Probing

Alas, Nathan appeared so calm and composed, raising his glass of red wine to toast with him with a smile.

Eugene IV drained his glass of red wine in one gulp.

Nathan also raised his glass, but after taking just a sip of the red wine, he furrowed his brow and promptly spat the wine back into the glass.

Eugene IV looked at Nathan. "What's wrong?"

Nathan frowned and said, "There seems to be something off about this wine. It tastes strange as if it's gone bad."

Upon hearing this, Eugene IV's eyes showed a hint of uncertainty. He asked, "Could it be that the wine has gone bad?"

As he spoke, he immediately stopped an attendant passing by and asked her to bring more wine.

Actually, there indeed was something wrong with the alcohol.

It was Eugene IV who had orchestrated the preparations beforehand. Having started to harbor suspicions about Nathan, he instructed the attendant to discreetly add a few drops of fresh blood into one of the glasses of red wine. The crimson essence merged seamlessly with the rich red wine, making it nearly impossible for the naked eye to discern.

Furthermore, the intoxicating aroma of the wine masked any hint of the blood's taste. If Nathan were indeed a vampire, this particular glass of red wine would prove irresistibly sweet to him.

Deep within, vampires possessed an innate longing for their own kind, finding solace and pleasure in the taste of blood.

The glass of wine served as a subtle test devised by Eugene IV to probe Nathan's true nature.

If Nathan were to truly relish the taste of this wine, it would signal to Eugene IV that there was something profoundly amiss with Nathan.

Nathan's expression turned into a frown as he spat out the first sip of the red wine. Displeased, he bluntly remarked that the wine had an unusual taste, making it evident that he did not find it enjoyable. It was clear that Nathan was far from relishing the drink.
