After drinking the tea, the effects of the medicine first took hold on Jessica. She rubbed her forehead, puzzled, “Why do I suddenly feel a bit dizzy…”
Soon after, Martin and Sophia also felt a kind of dizziness.
“Thump!”
Jessica collapsed first, followed by Martin and Sophia.
As the medicine took effect, Leo’s head also felt a bit heavy, but with the circulation of his spiritual power, the drug was quickly cleared from his system.
Since Leo wanted to know what Ethan was up to, he naturally made a dizzy expression, swayed his body a bit, and fell to the ground.
After all four fell, Ethan suddenly burst into triumphant laughter, “Leo, you useless dog, thought you were skilled, but now you’re obediently lying on the ground for me.”
Ethan found a roll of duct tape and bound the hands and feet of all four, and then, not reassured, used tape to seal their mouths.
Tossing aside the used tape, Ethan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
Taking a teapot, Ethan instinctively poured himself a cup of tea. When the cup reached his lips, he suddenly realized he had spiked the tea, hurriedly putting the cup down.
Taking out his phone, Ethan dialed Paige’s number, “Mom, it’s done!”
Excitement echoed through the phone, “Fantastic! Where are you? Your dad and I are coming over now!”
“Location is Imperial Mountain Hotel.”
Hanging up the phone, Ethan’s gaze fell on Sophia.
Honestly, despite being relatives, Ethan had been eyeing Sophia’s body for a long time.
Today presented a perfect opportunity.
Once wicked thoughts took hold, they couldn’t be controlled. Ethan stood up from the sofa with a bounce, then, harboring indescribable excitement and desire, slowly approached Sophia.
Heart pounding, breath becoming heavy and coarse, a fiery sensation all over his body, Ethan felt like his body was burning out of control.
In front of Sophia, Ethan crouched down, widened his eyes, carefully admiring every inch of Sophia’s body, as if appreciating an invaluable treasure.
“Sophia, my cousin, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in this world. Don’t blame me; blame yourself for being so stunning.”
Ethan spoke, reaching out his wicked right hand towards Sophia’s body.
“Trash, if you dare touch Sophia, I’ll kill you!”
An incredibly cold voice suddenly echoed in Ethan’s ears.
Startled, Ethan jumped up from the ground, then turned to look in the direction of the room’s door, “Who’s there?”
When Ethan turned his head back, he was suddenly shocked, shivering almost enough to sit on the ground.
To his utter surprise, Leo had actually stood up from the ground, looking at him with a face full of killing intent.
Ethan hastily stepped back, creating distance from Leo, astonished, “Leo, you… you were supposed to be unconscious. How…”
Leo sneered, “Ethan, your petty tricks can’t fool me!”
After saying that, Leo exerted force with both hands, snapping the thick tape around his hands and feet, instantly breaking free.
This scene nearly scared Ethan out of his wits. He never expected that the potion capable of stunning an elephant would be ineffective against Leo.
Not only that, but the duct tape wrapped around Leo’s hands and feet seemed as fragile as paper.
Watching Leo’s eyes, which resembled the Grim Reaper, cold sweat broke out on Ethan’s back, and fear began to creep onto his face.
“It’s impossible. It shouldn’t be like this…” Ethan couldn’t accept this reality.
Leo took two steps forward, directly gripping Ethan’s neck, lifting him from the ground.
“Someone like you is a sin to exist for an extra second in this world.”
Leo’s icy words pierced Ethan’s ears like needles.
Due to restricted breathing, Ethan’s kicking feet hung in the air, emitting continuous “woowoowoo” sounds.
Leo casually tossed Ethan’s body like a broken sack against the wall, and then, like a lump of mud, Ethan slid down.
Next, Leo walked over, stepping on Ethan’s chest, “Trash, if you want to live, play a game with me.”
Ethan was exhaling more than inhaling at this point; he had no other thoughts besides wanting to stay alive.
Looking at Leo’s deathly smile, fear seeped into Ethan’s bones.
“Leo, please let me go. I’m your cousin!” In his desperation, Ethan could only find a connection in their family relationship with Sophia.
“Cousin?” Leo sneered, “Since we’re relatives, we should play this game even more.”
Whatever game it was, Ethan knew it wouldn’t be good. Seeing the killing intent still present in Leo’s eyes, he could only plead, “Leo, no, Leo, I was wrong. I won’t dare again. Spare me, please.”
“I might spare you, but I said, to be spared, you have to play a game. After playing this game, I’ll let you go.”
“W-what game?” Ethan saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
“The game is called ‘Donkey Rolling.’ The rules are simple. When I wake up Sophia, you must curl up into a ball and roll around the room until Sophia wakes up. Only when I tell you to stop, you can stop.”
Leo explained the rules of the game.
The game sounded simple and harmless. To stay alive, Ethan almost didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed.
Leo moved his right foot away, and despite the pain, Ethan, holding his feet with both hands, curled up into a ball and started rolling on the floor.
Leo went to Sophia, removed the tape from her hands, feet, and mouth, took out a silver needle box, and began removing the effects of the potion from her body.
After clearing the effects, Leo took out a Vitality Pill from a small bottle he carried and placed it in Sophia’s mouth.
With the spiritual power in motion, Leo extended his right hand, using telekinesis to guide the Vitality Pill into Sophia’s stomach.
After completing these tasks, Leo lifted Sophia around the waist and laid her on the bed.
Seeing Ethan’s rolling speed slowing down, Leo coughed lightly in dissatisfaction.
Ethan’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly increased his rolling speed.
Two to three minutes later, Sophia, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.
After a moment of relaxation, Sophia slowly sat up in bed. When she saw Leo standing in front of her, she asked with some confusion, “Leo, why am I lying in bed? What happened?”
Hearing Sophia’s voice, Ethan, who had stopped rolling, suddenly froze. Rolling with eyes sparkling, and his stomach churning, he looked at Leo with a pitiful gaze.
