The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 5576

Scitalis' expression was sincere, but his gaze flashed with resentment.

Scitalis lived for over two thousand years, and he had once been the grand general of the North Moana Continent. How could he really let himself be at Rachelle's mercy so easily?

He had thought it through. He would pretend to obey Rachelle and trick her into using her powers to break his curse. Then, all he would have to do would be to wait for the right time to do as he pleased…

Just then, Debra and Rachelle internally let out relieved sighs at Scitalis' words.

No wonder he had started begging so quickly. It appeared he was under a magic curse, rendering him unable to leave this place.

The next second, Rachelle returned to her senses as she whispered to Debra, "What do you think?"

Truthfully, Rachelle was disgusted at the sight of Scitalis' true form, and she had no intention to spare him, but both of them lost a great deal of energy from the battle earlier.

She did not know how long it would take if they were to cultivate to restore their powers to get out of here. Under those circumstances, it would be much easier if Scitalis were to help them.

However, Rachelle knew well enough that Scitalis was cunning and evil, and his words could not be trusted so easily.

"I don't think this monster's words are to be believed… but we can give it a try."

Just then, Debra pondered briefly before saying, "Let's give him a little treat before we break his curse."

As the words rang through the air, Debra took out a pill. She pried Scitalis' mouth open with her sword, popping the pill in.

Gulp.

Debra moved incredibly fast, and Scitalis could not react in time before he had swallowed the pill instinctively.

All at once, fear swept over Scitalis as he stared intently at Debra, saying in a tone full of shock and panic. "You… What did you feed me?"

"If you don't take the antidote within a year, you'll die a death from the bones in your body breaking one by one, but if you behave, I'll give you the antidote. Don't believe me? Try summoning your energy near your acupoint. Do you feel a prickling sensation?"

At the words, Scitalis scrambled to do as Debra had said. His face paled as what she said turned out to be completely true.

"Master!"

The next second, Scitalis' forehead dripped with sweat as he bowed to Rachelle once again. "I swear to be loyal as can be, and never turn my back on you." His tone was sincere, but he cursed Debra a thousand times internally.

He had thought that putting on an expression of succumbing would fool Rachelle and Debra for sure, only for these ladies to turn out smarter than he could ever imagine.

His life was now in the hands of his opponent, and there seemed to be no way out.

Yet Scitalis was deeply cunning, and good at being patient. Thus, he pretended to submit for the time being.
