Anthony's face froze.
Of course it was important!
He was not a man if he was sexually impotent.
They went quiet again.
Anthony thought about it and said squarely, "How about this? Let's each take a step back. If you ask me to let Chad go now, it's definitely not possible, but I can not kill him."
Lyra wrinkled her eyebrows and emphasized, "I want you to record yourself swearing that you won't take Chad's life. And after the wedding, you will honestly hand over the super virus serum to me! Otherwise, you will be not able to die a natural death!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." He smiled slightly.
Lyra took his phone out of his suit pant pocket and tapped on the recording.
Anthony followed what she had just said and finished taking his vow seriously.
Lyra felt that the vow was not severe enough and added: "I want you to say that if you break your promise, Princess Cayley and your father will all end up the same as you!"
Anthony changed his face, "Lyra, isn't that too severe?"
"How can you possibly keep your word without a severe vow! I know you love Princess Cayley and your father so much. I'll only believe it if you swear on them!"
Anthony didn't say anything.
Lyra made a silent threat by gently cutting a small wound into his neck.
Anthony smiled helplessly, "Okay, I swear."
He followed Lyra's instructions and swore anew with a straight face.
Lyra sent that recording to her cloud storage and stored it before pressing back to the ring's silver needle.
There was a sizzling sound in the air.
She looked up and saw that it was the guard's stun gun that had struck. Chad was stunned because he was holding Mason, and the two were stunned together, falling to the ground unconsciously.
"Anthony!" Lyra fumed.
"Lyra, don't misunderstand. He tried to steal the serum. As the punishment, he must be temporarily locked in the dungeon. Otherwise I can't account for my mother, but you can rest assured that this time my promise will be honored!"
The guards dragged the unconscious Chad away. And the super virus serum, which was in a freezer, was taken back.
Anthony's suit was bloody and he had to change before he could go back to the ballroom, but Lyra was too tired to continue the party.
The black sky started snowing again.
The cold wind was mixed with snow and the temperature plummeted a few degrees.
Lyra had her arms crossed and felt a little cold, "Take me back to the apartment. I want to rest."
Anthony immediately took off his jacket and wrapped her up tight.
A guard brought an umbrella and he personally helped her to cover the snow with it.
This time, Lyra did not refuse his jacket.
Now she could never get sick. She had to preserve her strength, and think of another solution before the wedding!
Anthony watched her with a sideways glance, and was silent.
After taking Lyra all the way back to the apartment in the suburbs, Anthony instructed the maid to take care of her food and living in the future and to report to him immediately if anything happened.
The heat was on in the bedroom and Anthony was sitting on the edge of the bed.
