43 The Devils Illusion (1/2)

The Devil's Illusion

After a while, Bai Long came back, and Zhenya had also just finished brewing the tea for them.

Smiling, Bai Long didn't say anything and took the tray with the three teacups and walked towards the room.

Placing the tray on the table, Bai Long looked towards Zhenya who was just coming out of the kitchen as he quickly pulled a vial out of the Ring of Darkness and poured half of it equally in two of the three cups.

As for the third cup, Bai Long took it and moved outside the room and sat on the deck close by and watched the plants outside.

Soon, Zhenya brought her own cup of tea and sat beside Bai Long and shyly rested her head on his shoulders.

”Is this alright, Bai Long?”

”Of course it is.”

Not saying anything else, the two of them sat there and slowly sipped the tea, when the sound of someone else entering the room was heard.

The door to the room was opened as a man in his late 20s entered and picked the third cup of tea, when he noticed that something was different today.

There was someone else other than just him and his mother!

Turning with a gaze full of killing intent towards Bai Long, Sun Hai was dumbfounded from seeing who it was.

”Prince... Bai Long??! What are you doing here?”

As the general was about to bow, Bai Long waved his hand and said, ”There's no need to stand on ceremony, general.”

Stopping midway the general stood up and began trying to understand what was happening.

As far as Sun Hai knew, he had never heard too bad rumours regarding this particular prince. But given whom his mother was, there were not many reasons for him to try and fight for the throne.

This was why Sun Hai couldn't understand what Bai Long was doing here, and why his mother was sitting so close to him!

”I was just accompanying Zhenya until you returned.”

”Now that you're back, I'll be taking my leave. See you later, Zhenya.”

As Bai Long stood up to leave, Zhenya unconsciously held onto his hand and only left it after Bai Long gently patted her hand and told her that he would be back tomorrow.

”Oh, remember to drink the tea before it gets cold, general.”

With those words, Bai Long left the room and closed the door, but not before he saw Sun Hair drowning the whole cup as if to try and satisfy his parched throat.

Smiling sinisterly at how this cup of tea would allow him to obtain control of Sun Hai, Bai Long closed the door and left.
