“Don’t worry, Cecilia. We’ll have a spectacle to witness later!”
Ivan and Xena exchanged a glance before the former told Cecilia.
“What spectacle? Aren’t I the spectacle now?”
Cecilia was on the brink of tears.
“Come over here!”
Ivan grinned and tugged Cecilia over to the side. Then he divulged how Fane had been poisoned.
“Really? So you’re saying that Fane is going to drop dead later, just like that?”
Cecilia immediately felt better when she heard that. Even if she embarrassed herself today, she would be happy once Fane dies. She would forget all her grudges and anger then.
“Of course. I even checked on him a few days before. He already had some symptoms then. He said that he had a headache and that he was feeling fatigued. Basically, he wasn’t feeling well. Hah. Look at him laughing on the other side now, chatting with the Goddess of War. But the poison will work its magic anytime soon. His death will come in a matter of one or two minutes!”
Ivan spoke confidently, smiling. He continued after thinking for a while, “But Fane’s symptoms are kind of strange though. Some parts of his body should have been rotting by now, and he shouldn’t even be able to stand up. It’s probably because he has such a strong body!”
“Hmph. He deserves it. Who knows where he got the money to book an entire seven-star hotel? He just embarrassed me to no end. He deserves to die!”
