Chapter 996 Happiness Comes So Unexpectedly
“M-Mr. Luther, we...”
The suicide attacker rolled over,zily leaning against the head of the bed. He reached for the
cigarettes on the bedside table and lit one, then took a deep puff.
“It was me who initiated contact with you, and I will take responsibility for you. Previously, due to
Bailey''s presence, I didn''t save you and let her send you to the church. Now, I''ve broken off with Bailey,
and the whole world uses me of being heartless and ungrateful, of betraying Bailey. Indeed, the
facts are just as they say. Without her controlling me, I can now be with whoever I want and sleep with
whoever I want. No one will control me anymore. You don''t have to worry, as no one can hurt you.
Although I can''t promise you anything, I won''t just abandon you like this.”
The sincerity in the man''s words by the bedside reached Cersei''s ears, causing her heart to tremble
uncontrobly.
She urgently wanted to say something and quickly got up to embrace him.
“Mr. Luther, I fell in love with you the moment Iid my eyes on you. I don''t need any title. All I ask is for
you to keep me by your side. Your thinking is correct. As a man as outstanding and powerful as you,
you shouldn''t be burdened by a woman. The world is so wonderful, and a man should live freely,
savoring all the beauty it has to offer. Only then will life not be in vain.”
The suicide attacker reached out, gently lifting her chin, and nted a kiss on her lips.
Cersei was utterly charmed by him, lying softly in his arms, as delicate as if she had not a single bone
in her body.
The suicide attacker slightly lowered his head, a glint of somber light shing in his eyes.
“It''s gettingte. Why don''t you stay here tonight? Tomorrow, I''ll arrange a nice ce for you to stay.
Once I''ve dealt with the matters in Gregan, I''ll take you back to Hallsbay. You''ll stay with me for a while.
If I find you agreeable, I''ll consider giving you a title then. For now, I''m afraid you''ll have to bear with it.”
Cersei''s heart leaped with joy. She hadn''t expected this man to actually promise to take her to
Hallsbay.
Now that he was really going to do that, she would surely find a way to make him marry her.
“M-Mr. Luther, are you... are you really taking me to Hallsbay?”
The suicide attacker''s gaze shifted downwards, falling to the side.
“Now that you''re my woman, it''s only natural that I take responsibility for you.”
Cersei''s pretty face turned a darker shade of red, and she buried her head in the crook of his arm, her
body gently trembling.
She was over the moon.
Happiness came so unexpectedly that it caught her off guard.
“Mr. Luther, I promise to be obedient. I won''t be jealous, I won''tpare myself to others, I won''t
interfere with your private life, and I won''t meddle in your rtionships with other women. I love you,
and all I want is to quietly stand by your side. I won''t bring any trouble to your life. I''ll be nothing more
than a pet you keep.”
Men generally enjoy hearing such words. She thought that Artemis should be no exception.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a deep, maic voice came from above. “Good girl,
After he finished speaking, he reached out, ready to pin her down.
Cersei thought of the task Kurt had assigned her and quickly spoke up. “Mr. Luther, Kurt wants me to
go to the Venom Valley and break through a defense for him to enter. I know you''ve always wanted to
kill Kurt, but I don''t understand what grudge you hold against him. Could you... tell me about it?”
A glint shed in the suicide attacker''s eyes. He hadn''t even broached the subject yet, and
unexpectedly, this woman had taken the initiative to bring it up.
That was much better, as it saved him a lot of trouble.
“A while back, I was poisoned with the Soul Reaper, a forbidden toxin from the Yablon family. This
poison was stolen by Kurt from the Yablon family, whoter used someone else to administer it to me.”
Cersei was taken aback, looking at him incredulously. “K-Kurt actually used Soul Reaper on you? How
dare he?”
As she spoke, a malicious glint shed across her eyes.
A woman ensnared in the web of love could truly be terrifying when she lost control.
For instance, at this very moment, Cersei wished nothing more than to tear Kurt into a thousand
pieces.
The suicide attacker sensed her murderous intent toward Kurt, and a wicked smile crept onto his thin
lips.
He reached out, encircling her. His voice was cold and detached. “I''m not one to stir up trouble, but if
anyone dares to cross me, I won''t let it slide. Kurt dared to poison me, nearly costing me my life. I must
settle this score with him.”
Cersei bit her lip tightly, grinding her teeth as she said, “He hurt you like this. I won''t let him off either.
He must pay a painful price.”
At this point, she firmly grabbed the arm of the suicide attacker and added, “Kurt asked me to go to the
Venom Valley to open up a path for him. We might as well turn the tables on him. Call my dad and ask
him to deliberately create an opening. Then, I''ll call Kurt to tell him that the task is done. Once he
sneaks in through the opening, you can trap him with no way of escape. By then, even if he had wings,
he wouldn''t be able to escape.”
With a fierce grip, the suicide attacker held Cersei''s waist tightly, his brows furrowed as he asked,
“You''d betray your brother for me?”
“Brother?” Cersei couldn''t help but scoff. “He only sees me as a pawn. If I lose my value, he would be
the first to kill me. If I hadn''t been driven into a corner, I wouldn''t have sought his help. How can I trust
someone who wouldn''t even spare his own father? How could he possibly spare me in the future?”
The warrior held her tightly, his voice torn with regret. “I''m sorry. I should have stopped Bailey from
sending you to the church that night.”
Cersei shook her head with a smile. “I don''t me you. Bailey is just too dominant. As long as it''s not
what you truly want, I won''t be upset. Well, things have alreadye to this point, so I might as well
give up on Kurtipletely. Hurry up and call my dad. Ask him to cooperate with our n.”
The suicide attacker chuckled as he gently pinched her cheek, whispering softly, “Such a good girl. I''ll
spoil you rotten from now on.”
Cersei shed a charming smile. As if she had just thought of something, she quickly asked, “A-
Artemis, have youpletely rid yourself of the poison?”
“Yes, Mr. Yablon personally intervened, using the method of fighting poison with poison to cure me. I''m
no longer in serious danger. He''s just upset because the girl he loves has fallen into Kurt''s, and he

can''t think of a way to rescue her.”
Cersei hadn''t been in the castle for long, and coupled with Kurt''s deliberate concealment, she had no
idea who Cameron''s beloved girl was or where Kurt had hidden her.
“Mr. Yablon is your savior, so he''s mine as well. His kindness is something I will certainly etch in my
heart. By the way, do you know where Kurt has kept his beloved girl? Let''s see if I can lend you a hand.
The suicide attacker nodded and replied, “In his castle, but that castle has a self-destruction device.
Any outsider who forces their way in will meet a horrible death.”
Castle?
Cersei raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, “There might be things I can''t do, but I know how to
turn off the self-destruction device in the castle.”
“Really?” The suicide attacker tightened his grip on her arm abruptly. Noticing the pain shing across
her face, he quickly let go of her.
“I''m sorry. I lost myposure earlier. I didn''t hurt you, did I?”
