Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 995

Chapter 995 Why Did You Touch Me

“Show up? Why should I show up? To fall into the trap you've set, get caught in your net, and end up with nowhere to lay my body to rest?

Old geezer, don't think your actions are flawless. Little do you know, your laughable plan has long been seen through by me.”

“What... What did you say?” A surprised inquiry came from the other end of the line. “What do you mean you've seen through our plans?

What exactly do you know?”

Kurt didn't want to waste his breath on him. He simply spat out a name, “Cersei.”

Although there was nothing spectacular about Wilfred, he was not stupid. Upon hearing that name, he instantly understood the situation.

No wonder Kurt didn't make a move even after getting the seal. It turns out that the brat, Cersei, has been stirring up trouble in the middle.

He was filled with regret, hating himself for being too kind-hearted back then for not silencing that girl. Now, all his meticulous plans had

fallen apart because of this.

“Despite my careful calculations, I never anticipated that Cersei would escape and reveal my collaboration with Artemis to you. Ah, after all

that planning, I still lost because of my soft heart. What an injustice, such an injustice.”

With a cold smile, Kurt picked up the seal from the table, holding it in his hand and playing with it carefully.

“Now that I hold the family heirloom, old geezer, if you still wish to live, heed my advice. Step down from your position as the head of the

White family willingly and hand over the reins to me. Otherwise, I will gradually devour your power, letting you experience firsthand what it

feels like to be betrayed by someone you trust.”

Wilfred had called him with a different purpose, to begin with, so how could he be thrown into disarray by the young man's threats?

“That's right. You do indeed have the family heirloom in your hands. But what of it? You surely can't turn my confidants against me

immediately, can you? B*stard, do you know why I haven't given your mother a proper burial all these years? It's because she doesn't deserve

to be laid to rest in my White family's cemetery. Since you've chosen to disregard our father-son bond, I see no need to dwell on past

affections. I'm giving you twenty-four hours to think it over. If you don't return the family seal, I will reduce your mother to ashes.”

After speaking, the other party immediately ended the call.

In Kurt's life, there were two taboos. The first was his mother, and the second was his origin.

How could he swallow his anger now that Wilfred was threatening him with his own mother, even boasting about reducing her to ashes?

It wasn't that he loved his mother's ashes so much, but rather, this suddenly exposed scar hurt him so much that he wished he could slaughter

everyone in this world.

The moment the call ended, Kurt abruptly stood up from the couch.

He gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles cracking under the strain, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Artemis was besieged by the news of his betrayal of Bailey, leaving him no time to attend to other matters. He was planning to seize this

opportunity to catch Wilfred off guard.

Unexpectedly, the old geezer was courting death, threatening him with his mother's ashes.

Very well!

After all, the grudges between us need to be settled once and for all. There's no better day than today, so let it be today.

With that thought in mind, he shouted to the outside, “Bring Cersei to see me.”

“Understood.”

Before long, Cersei pushed the door open and walked in.

“Kurt, did you need something from me?”

Kurt looked at her coldly, his voice deep as he said, “Don't you resent that old geezer for sending you to the church to become a nun? Today, I

will avenge you. But before that, I need your help.”

Cersei looked up, meeting his gaze, and said deliberately, “As long as you help me get Artemis, I can do anything for you.”

“Very well.” Kurt settled back onto the couch and asked, “How much do you know about the defense of the Venom Valley?”

Cersei was no naive little girl. Having learned from her mother for so many years, she had been thoroughly influenced.

Hearing his question, she immediately understood what he wanted to do.

“I may not know much, but it's enough to open a path for you to enter the valley smoothly. I assure you, your people won't lose even a single

stand of hair.”

“Excellent, then you should return to Venom Valley now and interfere with the defense system to let me in.”

Cersei found herself in a dilemma. “Kurt, if I go back looking like this, even if I enter the Venom Valley, I'm afraid I'll be caught

immediately.”

Kurt waved his hand and responded, “You don't need to worry about this. I've hired one of the top disguise artists in the world. She will give

you a new face. Think about who in the Venom Valley has a face that would be most beneficial for your actions. Give the photo to the disguise

artist, and she will help you change your appearance.”

“Let's go with the butler's daughter, then. I'm close to her and understand her personality. If I impersonate her to enter the valley, I should be

able to pull it off without a hitch.”

“All right. I'll have Faceless brought here immediately to help you with your disguise.”

An hour later, Cersei quietly left the castle.

No sooner had she left than Artemis received the news. The people guarding the outside of the castle had quietly taken her down.

Inside a certain farmhouse in the countryside.

Artemis stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. A loyal suicide attacker knelt behind him.

At that moment, Ken walked out of the house and nodded to Artemis, saying, “Mr. Luther, we found several masks on her. She must be

planning to disguise herself as someone else to infiltrate the Venom Valley, but her exact intentions remain unknown for now.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Artemis gave a light hum, turning to look at the suicide attacker kneeling on the ground.

“Did you understand everything I just instructed you to do?”

“Master, I understood everything.”

Artemis flashed a satisfied smile, pulling out a hyper-realistic mask from his pocket and tossing it to him.

“Put on this mask. Go in and sleep with her. Let her believe you are me, then do as I've instructed.”

“Understood.”

A moment later, a face identical to Artemis' appeared before him.

To be honest, he felt a bit disgusted to have his subordinate sleep with another woman on his behalf.

But he had no choice. Clashing head-on with Kurt was not an option, so he could only resort to these underhanded tactics.

Half an hour later, a piercing scream echoed throughout the house.

“Who... Who are you? W-Why did you touch me?”

With a few clicks, the lights in the room turned on.

Cersei looked at the handsome face so close to her, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning.

“M-Mr. Luther, why, why is it you? You, I, what is the meaning of this?”

As she spoke, her face began to flush.

She felt his presence.

Are we...

Several minutes passed before the two of them finally came to a complete stop.

Happiness came so suddenly that Cersei felt as if she was still in the clouds, somewhat disoriented.

He, he actually wants me?

“M-Mr. Luther, we....”

The suicide attacker glanced at her, his voice cold and detached. “I'm sorry, you were drugged. When I found you, you were almost gone, so I

had no choice but to save you this way.”

Facing a voice identical to Artemis' and a face that mirrored his, Cersei was fully awakened.

H-He really is Mr. Luther.

It seems the rumors from the outside world are true. Bailey and Artemis have had a falling out, and this man has completely let himself go.
