Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1292
Crystal’s POV;
When Murray called me “little girl”, I almost choked on my saliva.
Since I was already a mother of two children, it sounded quite strange.
But compared to him, I was much younger. After all, he was over three hundred years old.
Rufus was a little surprised. “You two know each other?”
I nodded. “We met in the black market five years ago
“She was with a handsome man at that time,” Murray cut in. He didn’t seem to mean anything by it, but sure enough.
“A handsome man?’
As expected, Rufus’s expression darkened. “Was it
Blair?”
“How’d you know?” I thought he had regained his memory, so my eyes lit up happily. “Yes, it was Blair! You remember?’
But Rufus’s expression only darkened further. He pursed his lips and didn’t say anything more. He, seemed to be in a bad mood, with obvious grievance in his eyes.
Only then did I realize that Rufus was fishing for answers. What a cunning bastard!© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Well, nothing special happened. Let’s stop talking about it. If it weren’t for what happened today, I would’ve forgotten that I even went to the black market with Blair.” I quickly changed the topic and winked at Murray. “Let’s get down to business. Do you know how to get Noreen’s soul out of my daughter’s body?”
I figured that Rufus must’ve explained the situation to Murray beforehand, but unexpectedly, Murray frowned tightly. He tapped his forehead and muttered, “I’m getting old. Let me think. I feel like I’ve forgotten something.”
“How could you forget? Think harder!” I was getting a little anxious, couldn’t tell if Murray had really forgotten or if he was just pretending.
Five years ago, when we were in the black market, I already knew that Murray wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
He was very fickle-minded. What if he decided not to help us?
1looked to Rufus for help.
Rufus didn’t say anything. Instead, he wordlessly picked up a golden velvet bag from the table and threw it in front of Murray.
Murray’s face instantly lit up. He grabbed the bag and eagerly looked inside. Then his face suddenly became serious.
1 sighed. He was still the same as before. Back then, we also couldn’t get any useful information out of him unless we gave him something expensive in return.
After carefully putting the bag into his pocket, Murray regained his normal composure. “I do have a solution, but I’ll only tell the black witch.
Alone.”
“What? Why?” Rufus protested.
“You’ll understand why later. But for now, you can’t know about it, or it won’t work,” Murray murmured, stroking his beard like a wise old sage.
“It’s okay, Rufus. Just leave us alone.” I gently pushed Rufus towards the door. “I’ll tell you later.”
“Fine.”
Rufus left reluctantly.
As soon as the door was shut behind him, Murray said seriously, “I really want to help you, but I’m afraid you won’t like my proposed solution.”
“Why? As long as it can save my daughter, I’ll do anything.”
Murray averted his gaze and hesitated. Finally, he locked eyes with me and said slowly, “The only way to get rid of Noreen’s soul is to kill Beryl.”
“What?! No way!” I clenched my fists anxiously. “How could I kill my own daughter? We’re doing this to save Beryl, not kill her!”
