She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 921: Found Her Safe Harbor

In Corvus Hades’ memory, ever since he met Raina North, she had always been carefree and high-spirited.

She often presented herself in men’s clothing, though sometimes she would switch to women’s, and then gallivant around as a self-proclaimed champion of justice, although he more often thought of it as stirring up trouble.

Corvus Hades never stopped her, and even when she got into big trouble, he would secretly clean up her mess and cover her tracks.

As for the men, women, or androgynous individuals she attracted, Corvus Hades never took them to heart.

Because he knew all too well that Raina never felt anything for them, nor did she care to, even Jonah Rivers, the most unique among them, was merely a friend.

Corvus Hades thus naturally assumed that Raina was like the wind, always following her whims.

When she grew tired, she would simply rest by his side.

Now, at this very moment, Corvus Hades realized he was wrong. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Raina was not like the wind, but a small boat that had drifted without purpose or direction, and now she had changed, she had found a safe harbor where she wished to stay.

In other words, Raina was in love, she had someone she truly admired.

And that person was not him.

This realization was like a sharp dagger piercing into his heart, and then twisting relentlessly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Corvus Hades opened his mouth, unable to utter a single syllable before he choked on the air, coughing violently, and then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His already pale complexion instantly turned ashen.

"Emperor Hades!" Wraith suddenly exclaimed in shock, even someone who had faced many storms and battles throughout his life, was so terrified his voice changed.

Raina instinctively wanted to step forward to check on Corvus Hades, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if something was gnawing at it.

"Raina!" Elias Hawthorne immediately noticed something wrong with Raina, and he quickly held her.

"Hiss..."

Raina gasped in pain, "It hurts..."

Elias Hawthorne immediately asked, "Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere you touched me hurts." These few short words made Raina’s forehead bead with cold sweat.

Elias Hawthorne was startled and could only let go of Raina immediately.

The moment his arm left Raina, her expression relaxed considerably.

Seeing this, Elias Hawthorne furrowed his brows and was about to speak when Dante Drake walked in: "Master, Venerable Elder Rivers is here."

"Please, quickly."

Dante Drake followed the order and soon invited the elder in.

Venerable Elder Rivers was one of the esteemed figures of The Dark Tower, held in high regard, but he was reclusive and rarely involved himself in the tower’s affairs. He had once been favored by Elias Hawthorne, and thus was always part of Elias’ supporters.

For this reason, it would have been nearly impossible to invite Venerable Elder Rivers otherwise.

"Greetings, Master."

"There’s no need for such formality, Venerable Elder Rivers, both Alliance Leader Rivers and Emperor Hades have been afflicted by Insect Venom. Please take a look as soon as you can."

One major reason Venerable Elder Rivers seldom interacted with others was his mastery of Insect Venom techniques, which, although taboo in The Umbral Zone, presented no real prohibition in the world.

Especially since Venerable Elder Rivers merely enjoyed studying them, never using them on people. Moreover, with the protection of The Dark Tower, he could indulge in his fascination with Insect Venom.

"As you command." Upon hearing Elias Hawthorne’s request, Venerable Elder Rivers turned to look at Raina, examining her carefully before saying, "Alliance Leader Rivers is afflicted with the Love Subjugation Venom."

"The Love Subjugation Venom?" Lune couldn’t hold back, anxiously asking, "What is the Love Subjugation Venom?"
