Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Drink More Hot Water
"This..."
Itai Huntington had been paying attention to Night Fairy the moment she walked through the door.
But she hadn’t expected the other to be so agile, and now, in just a few seconds, to have come up so close to her.
At this moment, she seemed to be looking into a mirror.
Somehow entranced.
She lifted her hand, and the reflection did the same.
Smiling, and the Night Fairy was smiling too.
Itai Huntington was baffled.
She blinked, her throat moving slightly.
A drop of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
"Brother Davenport, what the hell is this thing?"
Terry Moore, eyebrow raised, pointed at the two identical Itai Huntingtons and said, "Where did you dig up this bargain-bin knockoff?"
Whoosh!
Smack!
A blur passed by.
Terry Moore felt a numbness on his face—he had actually been slapped.
But he...
Didn’t even see it clearly.
It was just a blur before his eyes, and he was hit?
He turned around and looked in the mirror.
There really was a palm print.
"Brother Davenport, why do I feel like I’m hallucinating?"
Terry Moore walked over to the table and picked up his thermos.
The one with the goji berries in it.
He twisted it open, took a sip.
After drinking, he shook his head.
Why was his face still numb?
"Was I actually hit by someone?"
Looking at the two identical people on the couch, Terry Moore said with some confusion, "What’s going on."
Whoosh!
Smack!
Another crisp sound.
The blur passed by.
Everything returned to silence.
"Haha!"
Terry Moore burst into laughter, touching his other cheek, "I’m done for! This was poison from Karen; I subtly smeared it on my face while drinking water. Now, the person who hit me should feel numbness in their palm, and in ten minutes, it’s going to blister."
After speaking, he looked at the two Itai Huntingtons on the couch with a smug expression.
Even Thomas Pendleton was stunned.
He even stopped coughing up blood and stared wide-eyed.
"Hand over the antidote!"
Night Fairy spread out her palm, indeed feeling some numbness.
"It really was you!"
With a leap, Terry Moore thrust his thermos down with fierce speed!
Bang!
Facing the sudden attack, Night Fairy dodged to the side and immediately subdued Terry Moore, "You stinkin’ man, hitting women?"
"I’m a straight man!"
Terry Moore tried to break free, but he couldn’t overpower Night Fairy.
After all, he was a fitness enthusiast, the kind whom girls in the gym clamored to add on social media.
How could he be so easily overpowered by a delicate woman today?
"So what if you’re a straight man! Straight men are allowed to hit women?"
Night Fairy glanced at her palm and said irritably, "Hand over the antidote!"
"Antidote my ass! Straight men will only tell you to drink more hot water!"
Terry Moore kept shouting defiantly.
"There’s hot water in the thermos, drink it, you nasty woman!"
He was furious.
Why couldn’t he win?
"If you don’t give me the antidote now, I’ll break your arm!"
Although Night Fairy looked petite and delicate, her strength was surprisingly immense!
If not for dealing with a freak like Julius Reed, most people were no match for her.
"Fine! Fine! Fine!"
Terry Moore raised his hands in surrender: "I’ll give you the antidote."
Hearing this, Night Fairy finally loosened her grip.
She kept staring at her palm, wanting to see if it was blistering.
"Sigh!"
Terry Moore sighed.
Once upon a time, he had been the top expert in the capital.
Now, he couldn’t even beat a woman.
Bang!
As he passed by Thomas Pendleton, he fiercely threw a punch!
"Ouch!"
Thomas Pendleton grimaced in pain but didn’t dare utter a word.
"The antidote is simple!"
Terry Moore walked to the kitchen and put a piece of stinky tofu, two pieces of fermented tofu, and three slices of lemon into a bowl.
Then he added a little hot water and began to stir.
"You..."
Night Fairy slightly furrowed her brow, looking at the murky water, and almost vomited.
"I’m an honest man, I wouldn’t lie. In the capital, everyone praises me for my sincerity."
Terry Moore turned around, passed the cup, and said earnestly, "Miss, look into my eyes, do I look like a liar? This poison was concocted by a friend of mine who later got caught for a major health violation. Before dying, he gave me the recipe."
He extended his hands forward, full of apology, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have played tricks after you slapped me just now."
"You know what’s good for you!"
Night Fairy took the cup, her throat moving.
The first time she brought it to her lips.
"Ugh~"
But, thinking of the numbness in her palm.
She pinched her nose and drank it down in large gulps!
"Hahaha!"
Terry Moore held his belly and laughed uproariously, eventually lying on the ground and rolling around with laughter.
He rolled around and slapped the floor.
"What... what do you mean!"
Before Night Fairy could finish her words, she rushed into the bathroom.
And began to vomit profusely.
Half a minute later.
She came out with a gloomy face.
Bang!
Terry Moore was still lying on the ground, laughing so hard he was bending backward and forward when he suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in his chest and was kicked against the wall.
"Enough!"
The next moment.
Julius Reed, who had not spoken a word throughout, stepped in to stop Night Fairy.
"He’s an honest man, he wouldn’t lie."
"Right..."
Night Fairy, as a member of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, had to respectfully obey in face of Julius Reed.
"Playing me..."
Yet she still clenched her teeth in hatred as she spoke.
"What’s going on here!"
Julius Reed sat on the couch, looked at Itai Huntington, who was dumbfounded, and explained, "This is Night Fairy, a woman of a thousand faces. Don’t be curious, she can become anyone at any moment. From now on, when you speak to me, you’ll need to check our secret from the capital first."
He was quite helpless.
Night Fairy refused to show her real face, like a ticking time bomb!
A threat to himself or those around him at any moment.
"Ah..."
Itai Huntington nodded, still somewhat shocked.
"My lord, has my hand actually been poisoned?"
Night Fairy asked, frowning.
"Terry Moore, explain."
Julius Reed picked up a fruit knife and began to peel an apple.
"Stupid woman, you hit so hard you made my face swell, of course it’s numb! Anyone would be numb if they got hit that hard!"
Terry Moore got up from the ground, rubbing his swollen face.
The more he thought, the angrier he got.
But he was no match for her.
After some thought, he walked over to the wall and threw a hard punch at Thomas Pendleton.
"Ah..."
With a scream of pain, Thomas Pendleton’s features twisted in agony.
Swish!
The next moment.
The fruit knife in Julius Reed’s hand flew out.
It stabbed directly into Thomas Pendleton’s neck.
"Noisy."
He said, nonchalantly.
Crunch.
At the same time, he took a bite of an apple.
Delicious and sweet.
"Not... not going to save Quella Radcliffe anymore?"
Itai Huntington’s body shook, looking at the lifeless Thomas Pendleton, he blinked and asked.
Thomas Pendleton was a witness.
But now...
Even Night Fairy was surprised.
The leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, so casual with murder?
Her own encounter just now...
She was terrified afterward.
"With Night Fairy here, I don’t need Thomas Pendleton."
Julius Reed bit into the apple, chewing it while looking at Night Fairy: "Fingerprints, can you mimic them?"
"Just give me a person, and I can replicate them."
Night Fairy said seriously.
"From now on, you’re Third Brother of the Leopold Family! And Quella Radcliffe hasn’t killed anyone! That was just a movie I directed, and as the supposed victim, you’ll need to come out to clarify that it was all a misunderstanding. The so-called murder was just for the plot."
Julius Reed crossed his legs, playing with the apple in his hand: "Templeton Lena will bring Third Brother of the Leopold Family’s body back later, and you’re going to study it thoroughly for me!"
