Chapter 100 Everything You Love Is a Trap



This was the second time Louis had heard the name.

The last time I heard about it was at the engagement party, when Gregory from the Todd family received the Heartbreak Jade from his uncle Andy Argyle.

The heartache from the dark side of the god of love almost turned Gregory into a mad dog out of jealousy.

The secret guards investigated the matter.

The Heart-Broken Jade is a necklace that the prodigal youngest son of the Argyle family bought at an auction with some money.

It was a birthday present for Gregory.

After this incident was exposed, Andy Argyle, who was suspected of endangering Gregory, was immediately issued a punishment order by the Council of Nobles.

It is said that a fine was paid which was quite painful for the Argyll family.

But Louis didn't expect that this person is now involved in Meiji's poisoning case.

He continued to leaf through the files.

As expected, due to Andy's interference, the original negotiations between the brothel and Rhine broke down.

He gave too much, more than the brothel expected.

So the deal that had already been confirmed broke down without any surprises.

Sally also tried to struggle.

For example, showing a suicidal attitude, hoping that the person in charge of the brothel will change his mind.

However, things went against their wishes and the brothel made the decision.

— Sally, sold to Andy Argyle.

In a few days, she would be put on the Argyle family's carriage and taken away directly.

So yesterday, she found the person in charge, hoping to see Rhine Kain one last time.

The person in charge agreed and contacted Rhine who was still in the college during the day.

"... Later, as you all saw, for some unknown reason, Sally chose to poison me."

Louis nodded to show that he understood.

Little Swan looked at Louis and said, "Isn't this a murder of passion?"

After saying that, Little Swan added: "How ridiculous! I thought it was because he abandoned the fox lady Mei Ji that she went crazy and took revenge."

But she soon discovered that there were quite a few people at the scene, and they frowned after learning what had happened.

"Hey, did I make a mistake in judgement?"

The little swan scratched his head and said softly.

The Marquis of York gently scratched his beard and whispered, "Your Highness Olivia is right. This situation seems a bit too ridiculous."

Louis heard this and smiled: "Because the symptoms are not right."

"Um?"

Louis picked up the Yin-Yang poison wine pot, shook it and poured out the poisonous wine.

"Although this hemolytic toxin is very dangerous, it is nonsense to talk about toxicity without talking about dosage."

Louis drank the glass of wine in one gulp in front of everyone's astonished gaze.

"Louis, you're crazy!"

Little Swan rushed forward and snatched Louis' wine glass, and directly took out the most advanced healing item from the dimensional bag and was about to use it.

But Louis reached out and grabbed the little swan's wrist, his voice sounded extremely peaceful:

"Hush, Olivia, let the bullets fly for a while."

Although Little Swan didn't know what a bullet was, she guessed that Louis didn't want her to use the prop.

She looked at him nervously and said:

"If I find out there's something wrong with you, don't try to stop me from using the props."

——He is Sister Wang’s fiancé, and she will never let him die in front of her no matter what.

Louis pursed his lips, nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll call you if I have any questions."

But this scene lasted less than 5 seconds, and Louis's face began to turn rosy again.

He narrowed his long and beautiful eyes slightly and said, "The wine is not bad."

Then, in front of everyone's stunned gazes, he said: "Although I have some demonic qualities and am more resistant to poison, I'm sure you've noticed that this wine—"

“In fact, it’s still far from the lethal dose.”

"I discovered this when I was detoxifying the two people just now. Although they were both poisoned, the symptoms of the fox beauty Sally were very mild."

"Although he would fall into a coma due to poisoning, it would take a long time for him to die directly."

"But Rhine, who was also poisoned, has fallen into a dying state."

Louis turned his empty glass upside down on the table and said calmly, "This is natural. If the fox man Sally wanted to die together, then at least one of them would not be able to hold on until I rescued them."

"If her original intention was not to poison Rhine, then that would explain why the toxin content in the wine was so low."

"So, Rhine was probably poisoned twice, and the real culprit is someone else, am I right?"

Louis turned his head and looked at Instructor Kino, who was dragging the brothel manager with a gloomy face, and blinked.

Kino nodded and turned to look at the Marquis of York:

"The secret guard pried open his mouth. This guy is the poison master of the dark side of the God of Love."

The person in charge who was lying limp on the ground had a distorted expression on his face: "That's weird, why are you so sure that I was the one who poisoned you?"

"Of course it's because there have been too many "coincidences" recently!"

Louis wanted to answer like this, but he still told the truth: "When you recovered the Heart-Scarring Jade, could you have been faster? Were you afraid that others would not know your identity?"

The sneer on the person in charge's face froze instantly.

Louis then continued to poke at his heart: "The Heart-Scarring Jade can magnify the weaknesses of people's hearts. As Meiji, who has been raised by you since she was a child, no one knows her character better than you, and the choices she might make."

"Under the influence of Heart-Scarring Jade, her choices will become even more extreme."

"She is not a professional, so the effect of the Heart-Scarring Jade on her will be further magnified."

"In desperation, she wanted to take a risk and poison both the customer and Meiji, hoping that people who bought her would be scared and return the product."

"I'm afraid it will also allow you, the person in charge, to have compassion and give her a way out."

"You deliberately ignored her behavior and let her take the initiative to give Rhine the poisoned wine."

"Then, while the two were unconscious, I took away the Heart-Scarring Jade first, and then poisoned Rhine a second time."

"Your goal from the beginning to the end was to attack Rhine Kain."

"Am I right? Mr. Poison Master of the Dark Side of the God of Love."

At this time, the poison master had fallen into silence for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed softly:

"You are truly worthy of the wisdom of the Empire, but you are wrong in one respect."

Louis asked curiously, “Oh?”

"Sally came to me crying last night, hoping to dissuade Andy Argyle from buying her. I chose to support her."

Louis said with some surprise:

"That's really lucky. If you had taken advantage of her trust in you and given her a far more lethal dose of poison to kill her and Rhine at once, perhaps this would have become an unsolved case."

"Or is it possible that a guy like you can still retain a heart of compassion?"

The poison master said calmly:

"The dark side of the God of Love believes that [everything you love is a snare]."

"I wanted to use this opportunity to leave an irreparable scar on Kino's heart and prevent him from becoming a legend."

"I just didn't expect that the person who was caught in the net would be me."

Yes, the reason why the fox-man Meiji was able to survive was because of the poison master’s unwillingness.

This is also the reason why he was exposed.
