Chapter 1223 You Have to Save Him
Jewel's heart sank. Oh no. "It's Phantom!"
Olivia nodded. "No one would be as despicable as her."
Jewel's jaw tensed, and her hands hanging at either side of her instinctively clenched into
fists.
Every killer in Double Dragon Court had their ultimate techniques.
Olivia was swift, and no common person could match her speed.
She was skilled in close combat, so in one-on-one fights, almost no one was a match for
her.
Even though Phantom wasn't very skilled in martial arts, creating poison was her forte.
She was also very fond of coating her weapons with poison. Moreover, her poisons were
usually all lethal, and she was the only person who could nullify them.
If things went on like this…
Jewel didn't dare think about it. Her heart could barely endure it, and she couldn't wait
another minute longer as she hastily said, "I'll look for her!" Then, she turned around to
leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia was startled by that. When she turned around, Jewel had already walked quite a
distance away.
Olivia hastily tossed the tweezers in her hand away as she ran after Jewel and grabbed the
latter by the arm. "Where are you going to look for her?"
Jewel replied, "Double Dragon Court."
Olivia said, "Are you saying that you want to return to that place?"
Jewel said, "I'll ask her for the antidote."
Olivia was so mad that she raised her voice considerably. "You're just going to die if you go
there. Have you forgotten that it was exactly her and Blood Rose who forced you into this
situation? If you look for her, do you think she'll just give you the antidote? Also, putting
aside the question of whether you can make it into Double Dragon Court, even if you could
go back, how are you going to explain why you're alive but didn't return to the
organization?"
Jewel replied, "Phantom and Blood Rose assassinated me, so it's not like I refused to go
back. Couldn't I have lost my memories?"
Olivia said, "Fine! Even if you can explain this matter, Phantom and Blood Rose have been
in Double Dragon Court for so many years that their position must be even firmer now. Do
you think that Jonathan and Joseph would kill them to avenge you, or would Phantom give
you the antidote? No, neither of those things will happen. If they can kill you once, they
can definitely kill you a second time. You'll be walking into your own grave if you go back!"
Jewel was anxious. "But the poison—"
"I said that I'll do my best, so why are you panicking? Even if I can't do anything about it,
we still have Eugene and George. Any one of us would have a higher chance of winning
than you just risking your life out there. Can you stop shouldering all the burdens on your
own?"
Olivia looked at Jewel, her eyes turning red as a burning sensation filled them.
Jewel reached out and held Olivia in a tight hug. She was trembling all over. "I'm sorry, I
was just too scared. Olivia, you have to save him. You just have to!"
Olivia secretly sighed in relief and lightly patted Jewel on the back.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best."
She was truly startled by Jewel just now. She feared that if she failed to convince Jewel,
the latter would go back to Double Dragon Court without hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the past, she had a feeling that Jewel wasn't that deeply concerned about Alex.
It was only then that Olivia realized that Jewel simply wasn't good at expressing her
emotions.
How deep must Jewel's feelings be, that she would even risk her life for him? His life was
precious, yes, but did that mean that her own life wasn't?
At that moment, Alex caught up to them. Perhaps he didn't understand the poison that
well, and he didn't feel anything weird in his body, so he didn't expect them to be so
anxious about it.
He didn't think that it would be so serious that Jewel would risk her life for him.
He was quite shocked as well. He pulled Jewel into his embrace and said in an angry yet
slightly shivering voice, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to break my heart? If
something happens to you, do you think I can still live unaffected by it?"
Jewel closed her eyes, a helpless feeling surging within her. If Alex hadn't been with her
and helped her investigate what happened back then, he wouldn't have been poisoned.
"I've said before that people like me are not suited for relationships. No matter who I date,
they'll get involved in this mess as well."
