Chapter 971

Darius was shocked at Bridget's promise; she was willing to forsake everything to prove her loyalty to him. It made his brows shoot up before he settled into an amused grin. Hands behind his back, he said, "Although I didn't expect that pledge from you, I'm still glad to hear it."

He spun and sat back on the couch, his finger pointing ahead. "There are four vials, each containing a drop of my blood. You may take two of them; one will be an antidote to the drug, while you can use the other to cultivate your skills. I intend to leave the other two Edward. I trust you don't have anything against that, right?"

Bridget inhaled deeply and nodded, then picked up two vials. Without hesitation, she poured both vials' blood onto her tongue.

Darius instantly realized his mistake but could only shut his eyes, not wanting to see the jarring scene before him. He couldn't bear to witness it, nor allow himself to laugh, as it might make her ashamed. That was why he shut his eyes almost instantly.
