Down in the reception hall, Rudy said to Emmett in an obsequlous tone, “The Sage has already promised that he will satisfy your request tonight, Mr. Slater.”
“Excellent,” Emmett replied with a leery smile. “I’ve had my eye on Whitney for ages now, but the Sage kept refusing my father’s request and wouldn’t let me get my hands on her. Now that he finally needs my father’s help, he’s willing to let me have her. Hahaha!”
Rudy sighed. Flint had run into trouble lately. Not only was the Legion targeting him, but he’d also suffered heavy losses because of Ashton. He urgently needed to secure his position as the ruler of the Javonbury criminal underworld.
Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to fulfill a request from Cornelius, the head of the Jalunese Martial Academy.
When they caught a lovely scent wafting toward them, both Rudy’s and Emmett’s eyes lit up. They looked toward Elise and were briefly spellbound. Even though it wasn’t their first time seeing her, her stunning face still drove them wild.
This was the charm of the woman who’d once been called the most beautiful woman in Javonbury.
Rudy hurriedly shifted his gaze away, for Elise was Flint’s lover. He dared not act discourteously.
Shaking his head, Emmett lamented the fact that Flint had gotten his hands on the beautiful Elise first. Although he desired her as well, he dared not trifle with the mysterious Flint. Cornelius had already had to offer Flint a considerable benefit to get him to let him have his way with Whitney now.
However, maybe he would have a shot once Flint was dead!
Emmett reluctantly tore his eyes away from Elise. He started formulating his plan to torment Whitney later, so that he could release all of his pent–up desire.
“Hello, Ms. Haywood,” Rudy said with a light nod.
“What are you doing here?” Elise questioned curtly without bothering to hide the disgust she felt for him and

“Since that’s the case, I’m afraid you’ll have to comply with another one of the Sage’s commands.”
“And that is?”

The atmosphere in Blossom Hall immediately turned cold.
“Get a move on, Ms. Haywood. I can barely keep it in my pants. I’ve had my eye on Whitney for ages now!” Emmett crudely demanded, showing no regard for Elise or Blossom Hall.
He knew better than anyone that these proud–looking women had all been afflicted with the Heart–Devouring Parasite. Their lives were in Flint’s hands, and it was his father, Cornelius, who created the Heart–Devouring Parasite!
Before coming over here, Emmett had specifically asked Cornelius for the incantation he could use to control the Heart–Devouring Parasite planted inside Whitney. He couldn’t wait to get her in bed!
Meanwhile, Elise’s expression turned even frostier than before. “Mr. Winslow, according to the agreement I made with the Sage, Whitney isn’t required to sleep with anyone. This was one of the conditions we agreed upon before Blossom Hall committed to working for the Sage!”
Rudy shook his head. “Times have changed, Ms. Haywood. The Sage needs to ensure a continued partnership with the Jalunese Martial Academy, so he has already agreed to hand Whitney over to Mr. Slater.
“Please understand that, Ms. Haywood, and don’t attempt to go against his decision!”
