Abel felt that he was dying. âSeveral other books were also destroyed simultaneously, including Wraith Petal. My father had studied it so that I could detoxify it.â
Luca said, âThatâs not right. It was an ancient formula that the Adelmar family destroyed. How did it come out now? And itâs not even used by the Adelmar family?â
âThatâs what Emma and I are confused about.â Waylon said, âIf these things were to spread, they would harm people.â
Luca lowered his head and said, âYes, itâs true. The first victim is Ms. Louise, and the second victim is Mr. Abel.â
Waylon was speechless. The poison invented by the Adelmar family harmed their family members instead of others. Luca spread his hands and said, âMr. Waylon, what should we do with Mr. Abel now?
He canât be in the ice water all the time.â
Abel was also worried, âYes, Waylon. If Emma finds out, she will be worried sick. You know her. Even if she canât see, she will find the club owner.â
âIâll help you solve it for now,â Waylon said, taking a needle and piercing it into Abelâs acupoint. He then put dozens of needles along his spine.
Abel felt his body go numb, and the pain became highly reduced. Waylon said, âThis paralyzes your nerves to relieve the pain temporarily. Itâs only palliatives.â
Abel felt that he was dying. âSeveral other books were also destroyed simultaneously, including Wraith Petal. My father had studied it so that I could detoxify it.â
Abel said, âWaylon, you still need to think of a solution. We have to treat the root cause. Otherwise, how can Emma and I have a sex life?â
Waylon frowned, looking distressed, âCanât you just hold it for a while?â
Hold it? Abelâs face turned dark, âCan I hold it? Iâm a young man.â
âWaylon, I canât resist my desires when Iâm with Emma. Iâm a normal man, not a eunuch.â Waylon was speechless.
âEunuchs have desires, too. They just canât do it.â Luca objected. âWe should focus on Abel, not eunuchs,â Waylon said.
âWell, Mr. Waylon, what should we do about Mr. Abel?â Luca was worried about Abel.
Waylon stared at him, âYou are asking too much.â
âSince ice water can relieve pain, you should prepare an ice house in an emergency. If he can control his desires, that would be best. But if he canât, he should quickly soak in the ice water to save his life. I will come and give him a shot to paralyze him, and then I will find a way to research an antidote simultaneously.â Abel and Luca breathed a sigh of relief. Although Waylonâs plan was not a perfect solution, it was the only one they had.
âButâ¦â Waylon frowned again. Abel and Luca were worried again. âWaylon, whatâs wrong again?â
âI donât know the recipe for the Deathly Desire. It may take some time to develop the antidote. â
âOkay,â Abel nodded. He had already thought of this problem. âSo, I think we need to work on both sides. On the one hand, we research the antidote; on the other hand, we find the Master of the Imperial Palace.â Waylon said.
Luca added, âThatâs right. Making that bastard hand over the antidote would be much faster.â Abel instructed Luca, âAll right. You can build a secret room in the basement and install a bathtub inside.
Also, build an ice storage room to store some ice cubes. In case I am not well, I can use it.â
âYes, Mr. Abel,â Luca replied. âI will start working on it as soon as daylight.â
âDonât disturb Emma during construction,â Abel said. âI donât want her to worry.â
âYes, Mr. Abel.â Abel had mostly recovered an hour later but felt a bit weak. He exited the pool, and Luca helped him put on his pajamas. Waylon touched his pulse and found that it was normal. They all returned to the living room, where Kendra was anxiously waiting. When she saw Abel, she approached him and asked, âMr. Abel, are you feeling better?â
