Chapter 876:
He was about to gain more power, ensuring he would never again be at the mercy of others.
Only by growing stronger could he keep the people he cared about close to him.
Allisonâs eyes stayed on the candies.
âIf they help you, you can keep eating them,â she said. She seemed confused. âThereâs nothing wrong with enjoying candy.â
Verruckt couldnât help but laugh when he heard that.
His body seemed to hurt less.
He wasnât sure if it was from the candy or from seeing Alice.
âCome here,â he said.
Verruckt casually pulled Allison by the wrist.
Before she could react, she found herself sitting on his lap.
âEating candy isnât bad, but I donât like depending on them,â Verruckt said, fiddling with her hand, which felt soft and warm.
He then intertwined his fingers with hers, their hands locked together.
âThere are people outside,â Allison said, her blood running cold. She tensed, fighting her instinct to lash out, and tried to stand. âThis isnât appropriateââ

âThis is my place; no one dares speak out of turn,â Verruckt replied.
With his other hand, he gripped her waist.
In that position, Allison couldnât escape.
âIf you donât want to die, stay quiet,â he added.
Then Verruckt rested his chin on her head.
Allison couldnât see his face, but she caught a glimpse of his closed eyes in the glass reflection. He seemed to be enduring some kind of intense pain.
There was definitely something wrong with Verruckt.
He was burning with fever.
If he had been an ordinary person, Allison would have worried that he might die.
But he seemed to be used to handling and enduring the pain.
âI should get you some medicine,â she said.
Allison tried to pull her hand away.
When their skin made contact, she felt a cold shiver run down her spine.
There was something wild and uncontrollable about him. Allisonâs hand felt ice-cold compared to his hot skin. But before she could stand up, he pulled her back into his arms.
âI said, be quiet,â he murmured.
Verrucktâs crimson eyes slowly began to calm.
His body burned with fever, and just a touch of coolness wasnât enough to ease it.
