Fulwood was startled after hearing Jacob's unexpected refusal. His eyes narrowed coldly when he saw Jacob had already stood up. "Do you even know what you're rejecting?"
Jacob looked at Fulwood. In his view, he appeared like a small bug that he could stomp under his feet, but his expression was cool.
He nodded and replied, "I know, and I'm very flatter for this opportunity. But I'm very content with my bloodline, so please don't take offense."
Fulwood wanted to say something, but he suppressed his boiling fury for sreason. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly smiled and nodded, "Forgivefor my crass reaction; I understand and respect your choice. Still, please drink this glass of Spirit Tree Nectar as a token of my goodwill, and we'll consider this matter over."
A hint of surprise flashed past his eyes. According to Zoe's evaluation of Fulwood's character, Jacob was expecting him to fly into a frenzy or at least say something threatening, yet he completely responded oppositely.
'You can't slap a smiling face…' Jacob thought before he picked up the tiny glass and raised it towards Fulwood, "I appreciate Your Highness's kind gesture."
Fulwood also raised his glass and nodded smilingly before he emptied it. Jacob was waiting for this as he didn't completely trust Fulwood and thought he had rigid the nectar.
But after seeing Fulwood drinking it without hesitation, he also drank it, and the next moment, a cold and extremely sweet taste spread in his mouth, which was hard to describe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts taste was just as Fulwood described it: sweeter than honey and more intoxicating than anything Jacob had ever drunk.
Right after the nectar entered his body, he felt a warm current spreading through it before a cooling sensation entered his brain. But it didn't last long; it only lasted a second or two.
"Excellent!" Jacob heartedly praised while putting down the tiny glass, "If Your Highness has a plan on selling this in the future, please look forfirst. I'm willing to exchange it for Dark Credits!"
"Of course. Letsee you out." Fulwood chuckled before he led Jacob towards the exit where his carriage was waiting for him.
After Jacob's carriage left, Fulwood's smile turned into a chilly glare as he looked at the departing carriage before he quickly entered the mention and when he was alone in his room.
He suddenly pressed his finger on his throw, and it shimmered in an emerald glow. The next moment, he pulled his glowing finger, and a starry green liquid gushed out of his throat. It was the Spirit Tree Nectar he had just drank! Flickering his finger, the nectar turned into nothing but smock!
The next moment, he transmitted his voice in his head, "You heard everything, right? I do as you told me, but he's too prudent and conceited!"
A cold voice rang in his head in reply, "No matter how cautious or prideful he is, you still manage to make him drink the Spirit Tree Nectar. Now, we have to wait until he craves more. Once he becomes fully addicted, he'll be in our hands eventually!"
The owner of this voice was none other than the Dark Duke and Fulwood's Father, Tomas! He has been listening through the star watch since Jacob appeared at the banquet!
Fulwood frowned with displeasure, "Then why do you stopfrom giving it to him? He seemed pretty interested in buying it."
"You're still too impatient. Although he appeared to have a loose mouth and seemed respectful, even by just listening, I can tell he's far more prudent and scheming. If you had easily offered it to him, he would've becsuspicious and might have tried to investigate it.
"Then what if he had found the traces of Life Medicine mixed in it? Don't forget he's an alchemist, probably at the Great Elder Rank. Faceless Ancient is not someone you can measure through normal means or handle by yourself if he turns hostile.
"Since he had already drank the nectar and also after seeing you drinking it with him, he won't be wary in the future. The nectar is already addictive and even harmful if consumed excessively, and with the life medicine in the mix, the effect would be ten times greater.
"Don't forget, once someone consumed a life medicine, they couldn't stop anymore and turned into a living corpse slowly. Now, we have to wait for him to seek you out and demand more of the nectar.
"I'm confident that after just one bottle, he'll be dancing in our palms. Then we can control him as we please and even willingly make him reveal his secrets!" Tomas confidently stated in a malicious tone.
Fulwood's eyes shimmered with elation as he didn't doubt his father's words: "Forgive me, father. I was agitated. Don't worry; I'll get his secrets for you no matter what. But I'm afraid Dark Rose might find something, and what do you want to do, Zoe, now?"
"There's no need to worry about the Dark Rose; as long as we are not directly harming him, and he's willing to harm himself, we are out of the scrutiny. Just make sure you add another pill before giving him the bottle!" Tomas ordered sternly, "As for Zoe, since his reaction confirmed that he didn't have any feelings or relation with her, let her be. He was only using her. Remember, no one is allowed to harm a blood relative in this family if they didn't commit any cragainst the family!"
Fulwood replied, "I understand. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"

Jacob closed his eyes in the carriage, and the next moment, he appeared in the dreamscape nightmare realm, which was like a starry space.
Nyx, in the appearance of the goddess, seems to be already waiting for him with a cunning smile.
Jacob was now completely used to her appearance and fully immune to her otherworldly charm. He impassively questioned, "So, what do you find?"
"You don't trust anyone, do you?" Nyx giggled gleefully.
"I trust you." Jacob impassively replied, "Enough of this, telldo you discover anything strange in that nectar and can we reverse-engineer it?"
The moment Fulwood controlled his rage and offered him the nectar, Jacob already sensed something was amiss. He even sensed hidden malevolence in Fulwood. He completely trusted his instincts, which were becoming sharper as he gained control over the Eyes of Judge.
This was probably the sthing Immortika had described; nothing can be hidden from the Eyes of Judge!
That's why Jacob instructed Nyx to analyze the Spirit Tree Nectar despite Fulwood drinking it himself. Now, he quickly appeared here to find the results.
Nyx replied sarcastically, "Trust me? I wish. Still, it seems you were right again this time. Although I'm still not sure about reverse-engineering it, I found traces of something interesting that we've already analyzed before."Jacob's eyes turned sharp, "Is it poison?"
Nyx laughed coldly, "Nope, instead, it's a crude version of Life Medicine of the Dark Alchemy! I wonder what their reaction would be if those idiots found out that life medicines do not affect you!"
Under Nyx's bell-like laughter, Jacob's expression was frosty, 'What a vile trick, Fulwood, you just earned yourself a death sentence!'
