Chapter 4109
"Oliver!" Leia's brows furrowed. "Why do you look so pleased?"
At the question, Oliver did not bother to hide the truth anymore. A sinister smile crept over his face. "For how steadfast and careful you are, you still slipped up. I've got some news for you-the Black Tortoise Soul Restoration Pill you just took was infused with Essence of Delusion!
Ì don't know if you were aware, but the Black Tortoise Soul Restoration Pill loses a great deal of its effects once it comes into contact with Essence of Delusion."
What? The Essence of Delusion?
Leia's expression dropped immediately. The strength that was supposed to restore in her body did not return at all. Instead, heat surged through her.
Her head began to spin, morphing her vision.
That was one of the effects of the Essence of Delusion.
Leia had never consumed Essence of Delusion before, but she knew enough to be able to tell what it would do to a person.
'Oliver, you-'
Leia was furious, and her eyes were blazing. She roared at Oliver, "Why would you do that?"
"Why?"
Oliver smiled, staring intently at Leia as his gaze grew sinister. "Why? Because I like you! I like you so much that I am willing to do anything for you, but you only had eyes for that Darryl Darby.
'I'll tell you now that I have no plans on saving him. I did not want to do that, Leia, but you left me no choice with the way you treated me before.'
’You-"
Leia was about to go blind with fury. She opened her mouth to retaliate. Yet, at the first word, the heat coursing through her body seemed to rise
violently.
Leia bit her tongue, trying to clear her head. She glowered at Oliver. "My father won’t forgive you for this, Oliver!"
Leia's words were tinged with regret as she spoke.
Oliver was a selfish, cunning man. He had refused to let the ordeal with Darryl go, turning it into hate for him.
She had been too foolish, believing him so easily.
Oliver barely reacted to Leia's cries. He remained seated next to her, smiling gleefully. "Scared, aren't you? It'll be too late after I have you today. Your father won't be able to do much, not if my father has a say in any of it.
"On the other hand, a marriage between the Black Tortoise and White Tiger tribe might be a good thing. More importantly, I'll have the woman I love. That alone is something worth dying at the hands of your father!"
Oliver sized Leia up. Finally, he could not control himself and reached out to grab her wrist.
Leia dodged out of his reach; rejection and coldness were written all over her features. "Get away from me!"
However, she was already weak from losing so much internal energy. Since she had taken the spiked pill, there was not much she could do.
"No point hiding from me, Leia. You're not getting away from me today. Don't worry. I'll protect and love you forever after this."
