Chapter 1808 I Cannot Help
“He didn’t have a bad intention, though. He merely wanted the antidote.”
“Not a chance! No one will ever get our antidote. By the way, did Shermaine have a bet with someone? How did it go? Did she win over the man and feed him to the wolves?”
“Not yet!” Shermaine chimed in as she walked to their front.
“Not yet? Why? Do you want to have some fun before you end the bet?” Gale questioned.
Shermaine shot him a glare. “It’s not like that. It looks like I have met my match this time. The kiss, the laugh, and the tears in the fantasy realm were all useless.”
Gale was left bewildered upon hearing that. Meanwhile, Elias’s lips curled into a smile. He had expected Evan to be a difficult opponent to deal with.
“So, did you lose this time?” he asked.
“No, I did not lose. The game is not yet over. How could you say that I lost?”
“Then what do you want to do? From what I see, it seems hopeless for you to defeat him,” Elias remarked.
“I know it won’t be easy. That’s why I’m here to ask for your help!”
They stared at Shermaine and asked simultaneously, “How can we help?”
Shermaine hesitated for a while. Then, she mentioned her plan to alter Evan’s memory.
Elias’ and Gale’s expressions darkened after they heard what she had said.
“Do you want to use Master’s spiritual power and her secret technique?” Elias reconfirmed.
Shermaine nodded firmly.
Gale could not sit still anymore.
“Shermaine, it is not a trivial matter. Is it worth it to go that far for a small bet? Why don’t you cancel the bet? Even if you win, you’re still the same Shermaine who can conquer any man you want. Stop thinking about this impossible plan. Let’s just forget about it.”
“What do you mean by that? I have to win this bet. So, you guys must help me!”
Elias and Gale exchanged looks, feeling troubled.
Elias understood that Shermaine not only wanted to win the bet, but she probably had fallen in love with Evan. That was why she insisted on altering the latter’s memory regardless of the consequences.
A woman could become a fool when she was in love.
“Have you considered the consequences? When Master left, she mentioned that if the spiritual power that guarded the treasure becomes unstable, the treasure will be revealed. Many people will fight over it, as many people want her blood. If that happens, she will lose her peace. Master has only left for a few years. She is still a small girl.”
“As long as we are united, we can protect the treasure. No one will be able to defeat us. Plus, they won’t be able to find Master that easily. As long as they don’t get Master’s blood, they won’t be able to open the treasure,” Shermaine uttered.
Gale stared at Shermaine and sneered.
“Don’t be overconfident. What if there is someone who can defeat us? And what if that someone is able to find Master? Master is only a few years old now. If those greedy people want her blood, she will be in great danger. Did you ever consider all this?”
In fact, Shermaine had thought of everything Gale had just mentioned. However, she was completely obsessed with Evan. All she desired at that moment was to have an unforgettable relationship with the man she loved. She did not care what obstacles she might run into.
She did not have extra energy to mind such a thing.
Plus, Gale was merely mentioning a possibility. What if everything goes well and nothing happens?
“Gale, we have been friends for so many years. Just tell me whether you’re willing to help me.”
Gale was stunned momentarily before he replied, “I can’t help on this one!”
“Elias, what about you?”
Elias was in a dilemma, as he was aware of the severity of the situation.
