CHAPTER 918: CHAPTER 918: ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME?

Mrs. Reed is dead.

Her death is not of paramount concern; besides Master Reed, the others are scarcely saddened.

Yet, even Master Reed feels not only the sorrow of his wife’s passing but more so an overwhelming fear.

She harmed Emperor Hades and the Alliance Hierarch, two prominent figures. If they remain unharmed, it’s fine, but if not, the entire Reed Family may be doomed.

Whenever he thinks of this, Master Reed feels his organs ablaze, his heart being torn by every thread of fear from the depths within, nearly ripping him apart.

He can hardly resist kneeling to pray, beseeching the heavens for the safety of the two, for only then might the Reed Family have a chance to escape calamity.

After Mrs. Reed died, her body was carried away, and then driven out by the Reed Family, with Dante personally leading the brothers of The Celestial Alliance to surround the small building at the back, ensuring not even a fly could get through.

Inside the room.

Pip Finch anxiously stared at Raina North, "Orion, how are you? You must be alright... Orion, I promise I’ll be obedient from now on, don’t scare me..."

Lune was also extremely tense: "Orion, I still remember the method for removing the venom; I’ll have someone send the medicine over immediately."

Raina stopped Lune: "I still have medicine."

Raina took out a porcelain vial she carried with her, poured out a pill, and placed it in her mouth.

Wraith approached, very polite: "Excuse me, Alliance Leader Rivers, are there any spare pills? Could you give one to my Emperor Hades? My Emperor Hades’s condition isn’t very good either."

"There are more." Raina handed the porcelain vial to Wraith.

Elias Hawthorne observed without objection.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to acknowledge that Corvus Hades was undeniably distinct to Raina; he had left too deep a mark on her heart and in her embrace before Elias’s reunion with her.

After Wraith thanked profusely, he returned to Corvus Hades with the vial.

Corvus Hades looked disdainfully at the small pill, full of repulsion: "Actually, it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t take this. Going together to The Netherworld, isn’t that nice? Can’t be together in life, but can share a grave in death; how romantic."

Wraith: "..."

Wraith advised: "Emperor Hades, that’s not acceptable; we of The Hades Clan can’t do without you."

"Oh?" Corvus Hades raised an eyebrow with interest: "Then I really want to know, what would happen to The Hades Clan without me? Oh, I’m quite looking forward to it."

Faced with such an unreliable master, Wraith’s face turned green; he hurriedly tried to persuade Corvus Hades, but the more he urged, the more Corvus resisted, as if what Wraith offered wasn’t an antidote for the insect venom but life-threatening poison.

Watching this, Raina’s temple throbbed with impatience, coldly saying: "What a lovely thought; if I were to die, it would be with Nameless, the current partner, not you, the ex. Besides, I’ve already taken the pill, and you haven’t. If any of us are dying, it’ll be you; I’ll live just fine."

Corvus Hades: "..."

Corvus couldn’t help but glare at Raina: "Orion Rivers, you’re no fun."

Raina chuckled coldly: "Yes, I’m no fun, you’re fun. So, I plan to let you handle it yourself. See, I’m really treating you well, right?"

Saying that, she reached to take back the pill.

Corvus dodged, avoiding Raina’s hand, and snorted: "Don’t think I don’t know you’re using reverse psychology. But you’ve won."

With that, he picked up the pill and put it in his mouth.

His brows furrowed in the next instant: "This tastes awful, make improvements next time."

Raina’s mouth twitched speechlessly: "Why are you so troublesome? Better keep quiet."
