“O” Supreme One, I know I’ve done wrong. Please forgive me this once. I won’t dare to do it again,” Lord Frostclaw pleaded bitterly.
“I have one question for you. Have you found out where my mother is?” Sebastian asked.
“I can tell you everything I know, but please, spare me,” Lord Frostclaw bargained, knowing it was his only chance to survive.
“If you know where my mother is, I can spare you,” Sebastian said.
“I don’t know where she is now. I only know she was captured before and managed to escape. But I can tell you who captured her,” Lord Frostclaw replied.
“You mean the people from Phaedra Island.”
“That’s right.”
“I know all this. Tell me something I don’t know,” Sebastian demanded.
Lord Frostclaw deeply regretted not telling Yvette earlier.
Knowing that things were about to go south, he quickly drew a military knife from his waist and thrust it toward Sebastian’s abdomen.
“Watch out!” Lillian exclaimed urgently.
The knife stabbed into Sebastian’s belly, but instead of blood splattering, there was a metallic clang.
Lord Frostclaw was just about to grin when his smile froze the next moment. His eyes filled with shock and fear.
Sebastian sighed deeply, releasing his spiritual energy.
In that instant, Lord Frostclaw’s eyes widened as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
As Sebastian closed his eyes, tears streamed down his face.
To kill the man who had been a brother, a companion in countless battles, felt no different than turning the blade on himself. But he had to do it. Lord Frostclaw had committed an unforgivable betrayal by conspiring with outsiders to kill him and abducting Lillian with ill intentions.
Lillian covered her mouth in shock. She hadn’t expected Sebastian to kill Lord Frostclaw. “Are you alright?” Sebastian asked.
Lillian shook her head.
“If you’re fine, let’s leave,” Sebastian said, turning to go.
Suddenly, Lillian grabbed his hand and threw herself into his arms.
Sebastian thought she was scared, so he hugged her and comforted her. “It’s alright now.”
To his surprise, Lillian stood on her tiptoes and kissed him, pulling his hand to the perkiest part of her body.
Sebastian froze for a moment as he was shocked by her sudden boldness. He quickly realized something was wrong.
“Are you drugged?” he asked.
“He drugged me… with… Blossom…” Lillian panted, her speech disjointed. Her skin was flushed so red as if about to bleed.
Sebastian only understood the gravity of the situation then. Blossom was the most potent of all aphrodisiacs.
He hurriedly pushed Lillian onto the bed, placed a hand on her chest, and tried to expel the poison by circulating his energy.
However, the attempt was futile. Blossom’s toxins had already permeated her bloodstream. It was now fully activated.
If not resolved promptly, her blood vessels would burst, leading to death.
