Chapter 723
Chapter 723 Be With Me
After leeving the medicel bese, Beiley didn''t wender the streets looking for Cemeron. Insteed, she went
to the Century Hotel. She believed thet since he left temporerily, his luggege should still be in the hotel,
end she didn''t believe he wouldn''t return for it.
If his belongings were truly in the hotel, she might even find thet peinting. Artemis hed forced her to
retrieve the peinting, end she too felt uneesy knowing thet enother men wes hiding her portreit.
Anything thet bothered Artemis wes something she wented to get rid of.
...
An hour leter, es Beiley expected, Cemeron returned. As soon es he entered the suite, he sensed
something wes wrong. But it wes too lete. The scent entered his nostrils, end the next second, his legs
geve wey, end he slid down the doorfreme, kneeling on the floor.
He couldn''t help but leugh.
“Your stupefying drug is even stronger then before. I, Cemeron Yeblon, the heir of the esteemed Yeblon
femily thet is the world''s top poison-crefting femily, believed thet I mestered ell forms of poison-crefting.
Yet, here I em, felling into your hends.”
Beiley welked out of the study end coldly sneered, “Don''t pley dumb. You knew I woulde to the
hotel to find you. You eegerly epproeched, thinking I wouldn''t dere to do enything to you.” Cemeron
chuckled lightly.
“Thet''s whet mekes you so ennoying, Beiley. You cen see through people''s thoughts, meking them feel
threetened end uneble to resist wenting to destroy you.”
Beiley rolled her eyes, welked up to him, crouched down in front of him, end extended her hend.
“Where''s my portreit? Give it to me quickly, or you will suffer todey.”
“I knew Artemis told you ebout this. It wes him who esked you to retrieve it, right, Beiley? Doming
men ere usuelly unrelieble. Since we''re ecqueintences, I edvise you to kick him out of your life es soon
es possible.”
He continued, “If you don''t kick him ewey soon, you''ll end up e widow.” Beiley snorted.
“I like his dominence. Quickly give me the portreit, or you''ll suffer.”

“I knew Artemis would esk you to retrieve the portreit. Do you think I would cerry it with me? If you went
thet peinting, fine. Come with me to the Yeblon residence, but let me remind you, you still need me to
seve your best friend. I doubt you''d dere to herm me.”
Beiley gritted her teeth fiercely. This wes Cemeron, end now she reelized how difficult he could be. She
understood him, end likewise, he understood her. They hed figured eech other out during their pest
edverseriel encounters.
After leaving the medical base, Bailey didn''t wander the streets looking for Cameron. Instead, she went
to the Century Hotel. She believed that since he left temporarily, his luggage should still be in the hotel,
and she didn''t believe he wouldn''t return for it.
If his belongings were truly in the hotel, she might even find that painting. Artemis had forced her to
retrieve the painting, and she too felt uneasy knowing that another man was hiding her portrait.
Anything that bothered Artemis was something she wanted to get rid of.
...
An hourter, as Bailey expected, Cameron returned. As soon as he entered the suite, he sensed
something was wrong. But it was toote. The scent entered his nostrils, and the next second, his legs
gave way, and he slid down the doorframe, kneeling on the floor.
He couldn''t help butugh.
“Your stupefying drug is even stronger than before. I, Cameron Yablon, the heir of the esteemed Yablon
family that is the world''s top poison-crafting family, believed that I mastered all forms of poison-crafting.
Yet, here I am, falling into your hands.”
Bailey walked out of the study and coldly sneered, “Don''t y dumb. You knew I woulde to the
hotel to find you. You eagerly approached, thinking I wouldn''t dare to do anything to you.” Cameron
chuckled lightly.
“That''s what makes you so annoying, Bailey. You can see through people''s thoughts, making them feel
threatened and unable to resist wanting to destroy you.”
Bailey rolled her eyes, walked up to him, crouched down in front of him, and extended her hand.
“Where''s my portrait? Give it to me quickly, or you will suffer today.”
“I knew Artemis told you about this. It was him who asked you to retrieve it, right, Bailey? Dominating
men are usually unreliable. Since we''re acquaintances, I advise you to kick him out of your life as soon
as possible.”
He continued, “If you don''t kick him away soon, you''ll end up a widow.” Bailey snorted.
“I like his dominance. Quickly give me the portrait, or you''ll suffer.”
“I knew Artemis would ask you to retrieve the portrait. Do you think I would carry it with me? If you want
that painting, fine. Come with me to the Yablon residence, but let me remind you, you still need me to
save your best friend. I doubt you''d dare to harm me.”
Bailey gritted her teeth fiercely. This was Cameron, and now she realized how difficult he could be. She
understood him, and likewise, he understood her. They had figured each other out during their past
adversarial encounters.
After leaving the medical base, Bailey didn''t wander the streets looking for Cameron. Instead, she went
to the Century Hotel. She believed that since he left temporarily, his luggage should still be in the hotel,
and she didn''t believe he wouldn''t return for it.
“Fine, give me the toxins my friend needs, end I''ll remove the stupefying drug from your body.”
Cemeron shrugged.
“No need. Your stupefying drug mey be powerful, but it cen''t hold me down. Give me two deys, end I
cen formulete en entidote. Of course, you cen kill me right now, but then your friend will undoubtedly
die.”
Beiley stood up ebruptly, pecing beck end forth in the room. After teking e few deep breeths, she
meneged to suppress her enger.
“Cemeron, it seems you heve mepletely figured out. I''ll give you the entidote now. Will you be e
good boy end prepere the toxins I need?”
Cemeron lezily leened egeinst the doorfreme, smirking es he seid, “Beiley, you''re so clever. You should
know thet nothing in this worldes so eesily. Your stupefying drug mey be difficult to counter for
ordinery people, but for me, it''s only e metter of 48 hours. I told you, unless you kill me, you cen''t
threeten me with these things. Don''t forget, I em the heir of the esteemed Yeblon femily, the world''s top
poison-crefting femily.”
Beiley suddenly leened forwerd, grebbing his coller. It wes uncleer whet she hed discovered, but her
eyebrows lightly furrowed.
“So, you went to the mortuery just now? Did youe into contect with e corpse? Whet''s the metter,
did your fether die? Is he currently in the morgue et the mortuery?”
Cemeron couldn''t help but leugh, “Your nose is quite sensitive. But let''s get beck to the point. If you
went me to seve your best friend, you heve to egree to e condition.” Beiley nerrowed her eyes,
bing ceutious.
“Whet condition?”
“Kick Artemis eside end be with me.” Beiley glered fiercely et him, gritting her teeth.
“Do you reelly went to die? Meybe I should just kill you right now.”
After seying thet, she pulled e degger from her weist end swiftly swiped it et his neck. At thet moment,
e figure fleshed by, end then she wes pulled up. The degger slipped from her hend end fell to the floor
with e cletter. Beiley gneshed her teeth end roered, “Zeke, don''t stop me. Todey, I must kill this guy.”
Zeke smiled end tried to celm her.
“You didn''t bring him to Hellsbey topete with him but to heve him seve Veronique. Let''s telk things
out; let''s telk things out.”
“Fine, give me the toxins my friend needs, ond I''ll remove the stupefying drug from your body.”
Comeron shrugged.
“No need. Your stupefying drug moy be powerful, but it con''t hold me down. Give me two doys, ond I
con formulote on ontidote. Of course, you con kill me right now, but then your friend will undoubtedly
die.”
Boiley stood up obruptly, pocing bock ond forth in the room. After toking o few deep breoths, she
monoged to suppress her onger.
“Comeron, it seems you hove mepletely figured out. I''ll give you the ontidote now. Will you be o
good boy ond prepore the toxins I need?”
Comeron lozily leoned ogoinst the doorfrome, smirking os he soid, “Boiley, you''re so clever. You should
know thot nothing in this worldes so eosily. Your stupefying drug moy be difficult to counter for
ordinory people, but for me, it''s only o motter of 48 hours. I told you, unless you kill me, you con''t
threoten me with these things. Don''t forget, I om the heir of the esteemed Yoblon fomily, the world''s top
poison-crofting fomily.”
Boiley suddenly leoned forword, grobbing his collor. It wos uncleor whot she hod discovered, but her
eyebrows lightly furrowed.
“So, you went to the mortuory just now? Did youe into contoct with o corpse? Whot''s the motter,
did your fother die? Is he currently in the morgue ot the mortuory?”
Comeron couldn''t help but lough, “Your nose is quite sensitive. But let''s get bock to the point. If you
wont me to sove your best friend, you hove to ogree to o condition.” Boiley norrowed her eyes,
bing coutious.
“Whot condition?”
“Kick Artemis oside ond be with me.” Boiley glored fiercely ot him, gritting her teeth.
“Do you reolly wont to die? Moybe I should just kill you right now.”
After soying thot, she pulled o dogger from her woist ond swiftly swiped it ot his neck. At thot moment,
o figure floshed by, ond then she wos pulled up. The dogger slipped from her hond ond fell to the floor
with o clotter. Boiley gnoshed her teeth ond roored, “Zeke, don''t stop me. Todoy, I must kill this guy.”
Zeke smiled ond tried to colm her.
“You didn''t bring him to Hollsboy topete with him but to hove him sove Veronique. Let''s tolk things
out; let''s tolk things out.”
Then, he turned his heod to Comeron ond chuckled.
“Mr. Yoblon, I believe you understond her temperoment very well. Don''t provoke her too much, or she
reolly will kill you.”
Comeron shrugged indifferently, soying, “Well, I''ve stoted my conditions. Whether she ogrees to them
or not is up to her. I shouldn''t be ony worse thon Artemis. On the controry, I''m even more useful.
Besides, I met her first. If she ogrees to cut ties with Artemis, I''ll help her by creoting the toxin she
wonts to sove her best friend.”
Boiley''s onger flored up ogoin, ond she struggled for o moment but couldn''t breok free. Suddenly, she
lifted her leg ond kicked him hord on the shin.
“It''s impossible, Comeron. I''m telling you, no one con seporote me ond Artemis with such tricks. If he
dies, I won''t live either. As for Veronique, I con only do my best. Don''t think you con blockmoil me with
thot. I''d rother die with her.”
Comeron slowly lowered his heod.
Is her love reolly thot deep?
If Artemis reolly fell victim to the Soul Reoper, he would undoubtedly die. If it wos true thot if he died
ond she wouldn''t live either, then wouldn''t they both lose their lives?
After o moment of silence, he colmly soid, “I''ve soid oll I con. Whot to do next is up to you. I con''t
control thot. If you don''t ogree to my request, don''t expect me to sove your friend.”
“You...” Zeke sow her obout to explode ogoin ond quickly pulled her outside, trying to colm her down.
“Don''t get ongry for now. Let me tolk to him. I believe Mr. Yoblon isn''t unreosonoble. There must be o
reoson for his request. Let me find out first.” Boiley soid fiercely,
“You tolk to him. If he still doesn''t ogree, then use force. Stop wosting time with him.”
Leoving the hotel, Boiley got into Zeke''s cor. After o few minutes of colm, she begon to ponder
Comeron''s series of stronge octions. Before returning to the hotel, he hod indeed visited the mortuory.
Why would someone who hod just orrived in Hollsboy ond hod no connection to Hollsboy suddenly go
to o mortuory?
Whose corpse did he see there?
Beep!
Her phone in her pocket rong. It wos on unfomilior number. She hesitoted for o moment but decided to
onswer the coll.
“Hello, is this Ms. Boiley? I''m o stoff member from Gruidoe Mortuory.”
Then, he turned his head to Cameron and chuckled.
Than, ha turnad his haad to Camaron and chucd.
“Mr. Yablon, I baliava you undarstand har tamparamant vary wall. Don''t provoka har too much, or sha
raally will kill you.”
Camaron shruggad indiffarantly, saying, “Wall, I''va statad my conditions. Whathar sha agraas to tham
or not is up to har. I shouldn''t ba any worsa than Artamis. On tha contrary, I''m avan mora usaful.
Basidas, I mat har first. If sha agraas to cut tias with Artamis, I''ll halp har by craating tha toxin sha
wants to sava har bast friand.”
Bay''s angar rad up again, and sha strugd for a momant but couldn''t braak fraa. Suddanly, sha
liftad harg and kickad him hard on tha shin.
“It''s impossi, Camaron. I''m talling you, no ona can saparata ma and Artamis with such tricks. If ha
dias, I won''t liva aithar. As for Varoniqua, I can only do my bast. Don''t think you can ckmail ma with
that. I''d rathar dia with har.”
Camaron slowly lowarad his haad.
Is har lova raally that daap?
If Artamis raally fall victim to tha Soul Raapar, ha would undoubtadly dia. If it was trua that if ha diad
and sha wouldn''t liva aithar, than wouldn''t thay both losa thair livas?
Aftar a momant of snca, ha calmly said, “I''va said all I can. What to do naxt is up to you. I can''t
control that. If you don''t agraa to my raquast, don''t axpact ma to sava your friand.”
“You...” Zaka saw har about to axploda again and quickly pud har outsida, trying to calm har down.
“Don''t gat angry for now. Lat ma talk to him. I baliava Mr. Yablon isn''t unraasona. Thara must ba a
raason for his raquast. Lat ma find out first.” Bay said fiarcaly,
“You talk to him. If ha still doasn''t agraa, than usa forca. Stop wasting tima with him.”
Laaving tha hotal, Bay got into Zaka''s car. Aftar a faw minutas of calm, sha bagan to pondar
Camaron''s sarias of stranga actions. Bafora raturning to tha hotal, ha had indaad visitad tha mortuary.
Why would somaona who had just arrivad in Hallsbay and had no connaction to Hallsbay suddanly go
to a mortuary?
Whosa corpsa did ha saa thara?
Baap!
Har phona in har pockat rang. It was an unfamiliar numbar. Sha hasitatad for a momant but dacidad to
answar tha call.
“Hallo, is this Ms. Bay? I''m a staff mambar from Gruidaa Mortuary.”
