Chapter 718


    Not long after, Ken brought the group to a hotel, had a private room and ordered some dishes.


    Once they had finished ordering, Ken looked at Xena and asked, "Miss Xena, are you sure Fane drank


    the poison we gave you?"


    Xena was startled at the question and looked somewhat uncertain before she replied, "Yes, I saw him


    drink it with my own eyes. I even passed him the mineral water myself. I saw him drink half a bottle : n


    one go and threw the remaining into the dumpster."


    "You didn’t remember wrongly, no?" Ken asked again, still in doubt of what had actually gone down.


    "Of course not. I remember everything clearly! He definitely drank it," came Xena''s defense. "Why?


    Young Master rk, what’s going on? Are you suspecting that I’m lying?”


    A thought urred to Xena, and her expression immediately turned cold. "I risked my life and worked

    undercover for you guys. Do you know how nervous I was? I was so afraid that Fane would catch onto


    what I was doing, and I could only take a breather when I saw him drinking water from that mineral


    bottle. How dare you suspect I''m lying!"


    Ivan turned to Ken and said, "Young Master rk, what happened exactly? Why would you ask Xena


    this? She doesn''t need to lie t o us, even if she didn''t seed.”


    It was only then when Ken said, "It''s been more than a dozen days since Fane took the poison, right?


    The poison would''ve taken effect after ten days, and we''re all waiting for him to die painfully during


    Selena''s birthday. However, I’ve sent two different groups of people out to get him. I wanted to test how


    his body was faring, and I wanted to exact vengeance."


    Ivan and Young Master Taylor looked at each other, somewhat excited when they heard this.


    "How was it? It isn’t possible that his body has no symptoms, right?" fretted Xena.


    Ken took a deep breath and stated, "I think he''s not poisoned. The first time I sent people after him,


    nothing much happened since he had his bodyguards with him. The second time, my cousin, Flynn


    asked several masters from the White family over, and..."


    Ken halted for a good while before he


    anxiously remarked, "I think Fane''s got fighting capabilities rivaling that of a marshal." "A marshal?"


    The faces of Ivan and the others darkened. If that was the case, it would be very difficult to get rid of


    Fane.


    "No wonder! It''s no wonder the pretty bodyguard we hired previously was unable to kill this guy. He had


    been hiding his true strength!" Neil instantly blurted as he soon remembered something.


    "That''s impossible. I don''t think that''s possible!" Ivan shook his head. "Why would he hide his true


    strength if he''s a marshal? Why didn’t he tell the Taylor family? If that''s the case, the old master would


    definitely be pleased with that. More importantly, Fiona and the others would''ve epted him happily


    the moment he came back from his time in the army!"
