Chapter 747 Deathly Desires
Adam was disgusted with Evelyn, and he didn’t want to talk to her. He wore an icy expression.
Evelyn extended her hand to touch Adam’s face and said, “Mr. Adam, you look much younger and charming without a mustache.”
Adam pushed her hand away. He took out the tissue from his pocket to wipe his face.
Evelyn persisted and made an effort to strike up a conversation. She said, “Mr. Adam, are you the Palace Lord? Otherwise…”
“Slap!”
She received a hard slap from Adam, who then chastised her, “Are you going to die from not talking?”
Evelyn put her hand over her cheek, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.
They immediately headed to Avalan Mansion after passing through the town and went back to Struyria. Adam’s identity was still a secret for now, even though the Imperial Palace’s Palace Lord was under investigation.
Adam thought to himself, I did a great job of hiding my identity.
First, he went upstairs to take a bath and change his clothes. He went downstairs and poured himself a glass of red wine after that. In his opinion, nothing was more enjoyable than having a glass of red wine, if one glass was not enough, he would have two.
Adam admired the alluring red liquid inside the wine glass while swirling it. Red wine requires patience to enjoy; the longer it breathes, the smoother the flavor. If he rushed it, the wine would taste astringent, just like his current feelings for Emmeline.
Adam looked at the red wine in the glass and thought about Emmeline.
Evelyn questioned, “Mr. Adam, where should we meet Flynn? Where do you think it’s convenient for to make a move?”
you
Adam answered, “Hmm, probably West Shemer Lake. Tell him that you want to jump into the lake and that you left a suicide note. Because of its remoteness, that location is ideal for carrying out our plan.”
Evelyn concurred, “Then West Shemer Lake it is. Shall we go there now?”
Adam said, “Wait a minute, I just remembered there is something that needs to be dealt with first.” Evelyn gave a nod and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you to finish what you have to do before I do anything.” After he gulped down the red wine, Adam and his bodyguards sped off to Sunny Avenue.
Last night, Evelyn forced herself on him. He briefly experienced some pleasure before being overcome by feelings of disgust and humiliation. He feared that if he let this woman remain by his side, she would keep bugging him. Therefore, Howard’s Deathly Desires came to mind.
It was a secret formula that Howard had stolen from the Adelmars‘ ancient tome. It was rumored that after ingesting this poison, one would experience unbearable pain when they were burning with desire, where the pain would be worse than death.
Evelyn would experience excruciating pain that is worse than death if she tried to covet me once more! Wahahaha!
Adam giggled in the car.
When Adam arrived at Sunny Avenue, Howard gave him a warm welcome.
He flattered Adam and said, “What brought Mr. Adam here? I opened the window this morning and felt a good omen coming from the east, so I knew something lucky was going to happen!”
Adam chuckled. He was aware that Howard was praising him. This old man relied on the wealthy families in Struyria to live a decent life.
Adam said, “I want to buy some medicine from you. Whatever you ask for, I’ll pay.”
Howard said as he stroked his beard in response, “There’s no rush to make a payment. What sort of medication do you need?”
“Deathly Desires, that ancient formula the Adelmars wished to destroy!”
Howard chuckled and asked, “Deathly Desires? Who had enraged you so badly that you wanted to use such vicious poison on that person?”
Adam explained, “That’s none of your business. Just tell me how long it will take to make the poison.”
“To be honest, nobody has ever used the poison, but I have it with me now,” Howard said in response.
Adam said, “That’s great. I’m in a hurry; please give it to me now.”
Howard said, “Please wait a moment!”
Then he left to fetch the poison for Adam.
When I see the good omen, good things will absolutely knock on my door.
Howard was delighted, knowing that he would make a few hundred thousand today. After all, Mr. Adam was always generous.
Soon, Howard returned with the poison.
Adam said, “As usual, I’ll transfer the money to your account later.”
Howard chuckled and said, “Take your time. There’s no rush.”
Of course, I want to get paid. Securing a profit is always a smart move when it comes to money.
“Is 500 thousand sufficient?” Adam smiled and questioned
Howard replied, “Yes, yes, that’s enough! Mr. Adam can think of it as a reward for me, whether it is 500 or
600 thousand!”
Adam understood what he meant. He said, “Oh! I’ll send you 600 thousand dollars later.”
“That’s nice. I like that,” Howard said, bowing to express his gratitude,
