565.Chapter 565
Louisa was in agony, her body drenched in cold sweat, but she dared not speak.
She never expected Nolan to be even more ruthless than she had imagined.
This was right in front of the gates of Centrina City, where her father could show up at any moment, yet Nolan was willing to act without hesitation.
Looking at her severed arm, Louisa seethed with hatred for Nolan in that moment,
‘Damn bastard, that reckless fool, she thought, vowing to make this man pay for daring to sever her arm
As she desperately tried to stop the bleeding from her wound, a tiny insect silently landed on her severed limb, sucking greedily at the wound.
Neither Louisa nor Rafe noticed the insect because they were focused on the task at hand–choosing the medicine
Louisa had already demonstrated the consequences of hesitation, so now they had no choice but to choose
One bowl looked like a sludge, and the other was a strange brown liquid.
One bowl seemed odd, while the other appeared more normal.
Both of them hesitated to choose.
Louisa thought, ‘Which one contained poison? Or could we both be poisoned?
Louisa gritted her teeth and shot a cold, fierce glance at Rafe, silently urging him to make the first choice.
Rafe sneered inwardly, thinking, Fine, let’s see how it goes.
He raised his hand and, as though casually pointing, said, “I choose this one…”
“I’ll take this one. I’ll take the sludge,” Louisa interjected urgently, snatching the words from his mouth.
As she spoke, Louisa observed Nolan’s expression, trying to decipher any hint of his intentions.
But Nolan’s face was impassive, with no change in his expression. Without a word, he ordered Black Flag soldiers to hand the sludge to Louisa.
Nolan said, “Drink it.”
Louisa, now forced to take the bowl of sludge, realized she had no way out.
In the heat of the moment, she hadn’t considered the consequences. She only thought she would grab whatever Rafe
chose. But now, with the bowl of sludge in her hands, Louisa instantly regretted her decision.
The other bowl might have been toxic, but at least it was a broth. She could pinch her nose and swallow it.
But now, with the sludge in her hands, how could she even begin to drink it?
Louisa froze in place, her expression contorted in disgust.
Meanwhile, Rafe, still kneeling beside her, could hardly contain his amusement.
‘This is what you get for snatching. Now you won’t have to worry about whether it’s poisoned. You’ll be more concerned
with whether you can even get that sludge down your throat, Rafe thought.
Louisa, now realizing she had been tricked by Rafe, nearly ground her silver teeth in fury.
‘Bastard. How dare he play me like this?‘ she thought.
One day, she vowed, she would shred Rafe into pieces and throw him into a cesspit.
After taking a few deep breaths, and under Nolan’s icy gaze, Louisa had no choice but to start eating the sludge.
The entire process was a struggle–eating, gagging, and silently cursing.
As for Rafe, he had laughed before, but now, he couldn’t even manage a smile.
“Drink it,” Nolan’s cold voice cut through the tension as he handed the bowl of broth to Rafe.
“Drink it, or don’t?” Rafe hesitated for only a second in his mind, then reached out to take the broth, obediently drinking it.
Louisa, still grimacing as she struggled with the sludge, hadn’t even swallowed half when she saw Rafe’s face suddenly pale, blood pouring from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground.
‘It’s really poisoned.‘ Louisa’s expression changed in an instant a cold chillereeping into her heart.
Nolan said, “What’s this? Dragging your feet, tr, Successfully unlocked!
Nolan narrowed his long, sharp eyes, and his killing intent was unmistakable.
Louisa trembled all over.
Her injury, still burning with pain, reminded her: if she didn’t eat, it was death.

But if she continued to eat…
Louisa stared at Rafe’s crumpled form on the ground, gritted her teeth, and decided to take the nok, she tordan hamet e swallow the rest of the sludge, desperately trying to keep it down.
Louisa thought, ‘It’s so disgusting. It’s unbearable
Holding her mouth, Louisa turned away, desperate to vornit it out.
But to her surprise, a sharp pain shot through her, and with a violent retch, she vorrated
The sludge mixed with a pool of blood. Louisa barely realized what was happening before everything went dark, and the collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, just like Rafe.
Nolan said, “Serenity, they’ve eaten it all.”
Having completed his task, Nolan immediately turned to call out to Eliza, his tone unexpectedly finged with antiogene From behind the curtains, Eliza stepped out, smiling as she approached Nolan.
“You did well,” she said, grinning at him. “Now, you can really play with Jefferson
With two of the Malone family’s heirs in hand, would Jefferson dare to make a move!!
Indeed, Eliza and Nolan had now confirmed Rafe’s true identity.
Despite Rafe’s denial, how could he not realize where he was?
Inside the Black Flag Army camp, how could there be no surveillance?
The reason they had allowed the Black Flag soldiers to leave was to give them “space” to test whether Rale and the Macne family were connected.
As it turned out, Rafe and Louisa had fallen right into their trap.
Not just Louisa, but Rafe too.
He had tried to deceive Eliza and Nolan by appearing so thin, but a true martial artist couldn’t hide certain trats, no matter how much they tried.
For example, the most basic one–breathing.
During the day, Rafe could control it, but when asleep, his breath returned to its natural state, revealing his true nature.
Rafe had no idea, and up until that point, he thought he had fooled them.
But Nolan, relying solely on his intuition, had already sensed something was off
It was Eliza’s insects that helped confirm the anomaly in Rafe’s breathing.
Eliza had spent enough time learning martial arts from Nolan, so she had some judgment in this area.
After confirming Rafe’s unusual traits, Nolan had deliberately positioned Louisa near him.
Using the insects to eavesdrop, they had gathered everything Rafe and Louisa said.
They had now confirmed that Rafe was indeed part of the Malone family.
What surprised them most was that Rafe was Felix’s son. From their conversation, the relationship seemed strained, but from Louisa’s words, it was clear that Sariyah, the true power behind the Malone family, valued Rafe highly
One was Jefferson’s daughter, and the other was someone highly valued by Sariyah,
The two most troublesome figures of the Malone family had willingly walked into their trap–how could Nolan and Eliza not take advantage of that?
