"Don't worry, Cecilia. We'll have a spectacle to witness later!”
Ivan and Xena exchanged a glance before the former told Cecilia.
"What spectacle? Aren't I the spectacle now?"
Cecilia was on the brink of tears.
"Come over here!”
Ivan grinned and tugged Cecilia over to the side. Then he divulged how Fane had been poisoned.
"Really? So you're saying that Fane is going to drop dead later, just like that?”
Cecilia immediately felt better when she heard that. Even if she embarrassed
herself today, she would be happy once Fane dies. She would forget all her grudges and anger then.
"Of course. I even checked on him a few days before. He already had some symptoms then. He said that he had a headache and that he was feeling fatigued. Basically, he wasn't feeling well. Hah. Look at him laughing on the other side now, chatting with the Goddess of War. But the poison will work its magic anytime soon. His death will come in a matter of one or two minutes!"
At this moment, an old man with a few other people in tow went before Fane and the others to give his blessings. The image of this group was quickly captured and projected on the hotel's screen.
"That-that's the boss of Cathysia Juwel! M y God. He's a disgustingly rich businessman. Probably one of the richest i n the entire country. Shouldn't someone like that be in Gin City? Why’s he in Middle Province?”
Cecilia quickly recognized the man. She released a loud exclamation.
"Hah. We meet again, my boy!"
The old man laughed as he walked over, clasping Fane's hand and shaking it. "I didn't know what to give, so I only brought over a few rings. They're not too expensive —probably worth three hundred million bucks in total!”
