“Woo!”
Lucas seemed calm on the surface but was extremely delighted and excited upon seeing Darryl downing the wine.
Lucas had indeed invited Darryl to drink with him not out of admiration, but just to accomplish Jackie’s orders in
capturing Darryl.
Lucas was cunning. He knew that a powerful person like Darryl would not be affected by common poisons, so he
was not that stupid as to poison the wine!
The wine had no poison in it, but the wine itself was problematic!
Tipsy is a Yellow Sea Continent specialty strong alcoholic drink. One mouthful of the wine could make a person
drunk for almost half a month. Even if a cultivator were to drink it, they might not be able to resist the strong
alcohol. Everyone familiar with the wine knew they had to first take the antidote to fully enjoy Tipsy.
Lucas’s plan was simple. He deliberately did not tell Darryl how strong Tipsy was and waited until Darryl was drunk
before tying him up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Lucas had already taken the antidote, so he naturally was not afraid of it.
“Master Darby.” Lucas smiled and looked at Darryl. “How’s the wine?”
“It’s great!”
Darryl nodded and could not help but exclaimed, “The aroma of the wine is strong, it has a sweet aftertaste. A
great wine!”
Darryl was highly skilled in producing elixirs. He even previously learned some medicinal skills from the Divine
Farmer. The moment he tasted the wine, he knew there was no poison in it, so he let his guard down.
At that moment, Darryl still did not know that Tipsy would cause a strong reaction.
“Haha!”
Lucas chuckled out loud before quickly and diligently poured some more wine for Darryl. “You should drink more of
it since you like the wine so much.”
His face was smiling, but his eyes were filled with maliciousness.
Darryl did not say no and continued drinking the wine and started chatting with Lucas.
“Master Darby!”
Lucas said excitedly a few glasses of wine later, “I’m very honored that Master Darby did not mind my previous
behavior. You’re so generous. In truth, I was previously making matters difficult for you because I liked Parker too
much and got a little jealous upon seeing her getting so close with you…”
In truth, Lucas did not want to talk so much with Darryl but pretended to confide in Darryl to not let him be so
suspicious of him.
Lucas was indeed doing a great job at that moment.
Darryl smiled and had no whatsoever doubts left for Lucas upon seeing Lucas confiding in him.
‘No wonder he kept finding fault with me. It turns out he likes Parker. He must’ve felt terrible upon seeing me and
her getting close.’
Darryl happily chatted with Lucas and drank freely without any doubts or caution.
After a few rounds of alcohol and some dishes.
Darryl initially did not feel anything, but slowly felt the alcohol’s effects and noticed something was off.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl only felt dizzy at that moment. He felt his entire body turn to jelly under the alcohol’s numbing effects and
could not even sit properly.
‘The alcohol’s aftereffects are too strong.’
Darryl looked at Lucas groggily and drunk in the next second. “I’ve had enough of such a strong wine. Enough…”
At that moment, Darryl still had not realized that he had been tricked by Lucas. He initially thought he had
underestimated the alcohol’s strength.
“Haha!”
Lucas smiled ambiguously and said, “Master Darby, let’s stop drinking since you’re already drunk. Rest well.”
Lucas then stopped smiling and swiftly attacked the back of Darryl’s head.
Bang!
Darryl was tipsy and could not react in time. He then saw black and immediately passed out.
Haha!
At that moment, Lucas was extremely excited and proud of himself.
‘I’ve done it! So what if Darryl was a famous figure? He still fell into my trap after all.’
