Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 236

Jake turned around and furrowed his brows. "Daniel? Looks like my luck is pretty good today—two wins in a row."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Daniel's hand, which was already severely poisoned.

Camille was still holding onto a sliver of clarity, and she instinctively looked at Daniel. If she had to choose, she would rather have him detoxify her than let Jake have his way.

"Daniel, kill him!"

Camille bit her bottom lip, and her expression twisted in pain.

Jake burst into laughter, a hint of madness flickering in his eyes. His gaze toward Camille grew even colder.

At that moment, Jake already saw Camille as his possession. Yet now, she was urging Daniel to kill him. This was a betrayal in itself.

Jake scoffed. "Kill me? As if he's capable! Fine, let him bear witness today—witness how I make you mine."

A twisted grin spread across his face as he raised the magic banner toward Daniel and bellowed, "Kneel!"

Dark energy erupted from the banner once again. The toxin in Daniel's palm seemed to come alive, surging wildly and attempting to seep deeper into his body.

Yet, Daniel had expected this. "Nice trick, but too bad it won't work on me."

"What?"

Jake's face twisted in disbelief as he suddenly lost all sense of the poison within Daniel.

"How dare you flaunt such a cheap trick before me?" Daniel asked.

He raised his hand and struck at the approaching dark energy. The energy instantly shattered, and a sharp tearing sound came from Jake's magic banner.

"Camille, you have nowhere to run this time!"

Amelia let out a triumphant laugh before leaping directly in front of Camille.

Camille's eyes flickered with a mix of embarrassment and anger.

Daniel had originally intended to kill Camille and be done with it, but Amelia's sudden appearance took him by surprise. This naive girl was quite amusing to Daniel, and he figured doing her a favor might not be a bad idea.

But no one expected that Camille, who was on the verge of dying and barely holding on, would suddenly erupt with energy once more. What was even stranger was the direction of her outburst.

Amelia barely had time to react before her clothes were instantly torn apart.

Daniel's eyes widened in shock as his vision was suddenly overwhelmed by a blur of pale skin. Amelia's figure was far more generous than he had expected. Her sudden exposure caught him completely off guard.
