Eliza stood stone-faced, her expression cold as ice as she stared into the cage where Sophie was on the verge of being bittent to death by the venomous spider. "That's enough. Come back." Eliza said calmly.

The spider immediately retracted its fangs and scurried off Sophie's body, crawling obediently back to Eliza's side. She reached out and gently tapped it with her finger. "Go build your nest. I won't be needing you for now."

This spider was one of several poisonous creatures Gilbert had sent her-not just this one, but many others. After being fed with spiritual water, they had all submitted to her and made their homes inside her pocket farm, just like Simba, the venomous centipede.

"My patience is limited, she said flatly. "If you don't want to die choking on your own blood, you'd better hand over my mother's body"

Sophie's nose was already bleeding. She was in agony-but she refused to yield. She couldn't lose. Her mother had lost to Eliza, but she wouldn't Even if it killed her, she would drag Eliza down with her.

"Fine," she sneered. "Let's gamble."

The entire second floor was filled with poisons.

How convenient.

The next morning, Eliza emerged with dark circles under her eyes and a sour expression. She hadn't slept all night.
