The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 146
“I’ve found a way to administer the poison.”
For a moment, Marquis Tipian failed to comprehend the assassin’s sudden words. First, he was utterly exhausted from keeping his senses strained to their utmost limits; second, days of investigation within the castle had yielded nothing but the refrain, “Their defenses are far too rigorous.”
But soon his heart swelled with malicious delight. At last! No matter how monstrous these northerners might be, they couldn’t possibly have left no opening whatsoever.
The assassin waited silently as the marquis trembled and cackled to himself. Only when he finally calmed his laughter did the assassin speak again.
“This place has few servants, so every task is handled from start to finish by the same person. There’s no opportunity for a stranger to intercept food or items mid-process and slip in poison. But when hosting guests, things are different.”
When several guests are present, one can’t possibly expect a single person—who normally handles all the tableware—to serve everyone individually. Naturally, others unfamiliar with the usual routine must assist, inevitably creating gaps.
Moreover, during these past few days, the assassin had carefully observed their excessive pride—how fiercely they refused to appear inferior to “those southerners.” Upon hearing this rationale, the marquis’s expression hardened.
“So… you mean that bastard will wait until he’s serving me himself… and then… strike?”
Cledwin Maindlant would sooner host a banquet for Marquis Tipian when winter had already passed twelve times over. Didn’t that man act as if there were no guests in the castle at all?
The assassin shook his head.
“You won’t need to wait. It seems they plan to hold a banquet this very evening.”
“A—a banquet? Who’s coming? It’s certainly not in our honor.”
“I haven’t pinpointed the exact guest yet, but does it truly matter?”
“Right… the… the important thing is that bastard consumes the poison… Heh heh heh.”
The marquis grinned wickedly, his eyes gleaming unnaturally.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
