Chapter 1108 Wraithbane
Cameron scoffed disdainfully.
Ever since he had obtained the Encyclopedia of Poison, he had mastered the art of poison-crafting
contained within. Now, there was no poison in the world that could challenge him.
Even if he had been poisoned, Blaze would not be deceived because she knew he could handle it
himself.
“There's no poison in this world that I can't neutralize. Your method won't work. Try a different one.”
Bailey raised an eyebrow and asked, “Can you neutralize Wraithbane, the poison that Blaze developed
three years ago?”
Cameron was at a loss for words.
Wraithbane was concocted from several types of corpse poison, which he indeed could not neutralize.
It was no longer considered a poison, but more like a deadly pathogen.
When Blaze developed this back in the day, she had faced opposition from many people.
Due to its overwhelming potency, most of what was spread around had essentially been eradicated.
“I truly can't neutralize that substance, but the development of Wraithbane has been prohibited. Apart
from Blaze, no one else can create it. You want me to be poisoned by Wraithbane, but first, you need to
have this poison, right? Or do you expect me to pretend to be poisoned by Wraithbane?”
With a mysterious smile, Bailey said, “You don't need to worry about that. I can obtain the poison for
you. You just have to consider whether or not you want to cooperate.”
“I want,” Cameron responded without hesitation. “Rather than aimlessly searching, it's better to take a
risk.”
Although Wraithbane is overpowering, there is still a chance for survival. I refuse to believe that Blaze
would truly abandon me.
The most urgent matter now is where to acquire the poison, and how I can be poisoned by it without
arousing her suspicion. If she discovers that I'm deceiving her, she'll probably leave me to die.
Bailey shook her head, asserting, “Even if she knew you were deceiving her, she wouldn't stand by and
let you die. Cameron, you should trust her feelings for you. She won't take risks because she loves you
too much to gamble.”
Cameron shrugged his shoulders. “I appreciate your good wishes. But even if she doesn't come to
save me, it's okay. I owe her too much. I deserve to die. But do you really have Wraithbane in your
possession? Don't try to deceive me with some other poison. I don't have the audacity to pretend to be
poisoned and deceive Blaze.”
Bailey raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Indeed, I don't have Wraithbane in my possession, but I know
who does. Moreover, I can make her poison you with it.”
Cameron's interest was immediately piqued. Bailey wasn't one to make baseless claims. If she said so,
then it must be true.
“Get to the point. Don't beat around the bush.”
“Faceless has made quite a few preparations to deal with me. She knows that she can't take my life, so
she has prepared many underhanded tricks. Two years ago, she spent a fortune to buy a bottle of
poison from a poison-crafting expert, who coincidentally happened to be Blaze's mentor. According to
my investigation, that poison is Wraithbane given to him by Blaze. He sold it to Faceless. You know as
well that the conflict between me and Faceless has already escalated. The Wraithbane she possesses
will either be used on me or on Artemis. No matter who she tries to poison among us, I can redirect the
poison to you, making you take our place. If Blaze starts investigating, she will find out that her mentor
sold the Wraithbane to Faceless, and then Faceless poisoned you. She basically won't have any
suspicions.”
Cameron rolled his eyes. “In the end, I'm still being used as a pawn, taking the poison for you guys.
Bailey, your plans are truly something. After sacrificing myself for you, I'm supposed to be grateful,
huh?”
Bailey chuckled. “Well, I'm pregnant. You surely wouldn't want a pregnant woman to be poisoned,
right? As for Artemis, he's seriously injured. It's not suitable for him to be poisoned either. You're in
such a hurry to find Blaze, so why not let you bear this burden? This way, we can ensure our safety
and also help you draw her out.”
Cameron snorted, his gaze falling on her abdomen. Remembering how she had eaten the orange
earlier without flinching, he suddenly realized something.
“So you're pregnant! No wonder you're so resilient, eating those sour foods without any reaction.”
Bailey gently caressed her belly, her gaze as calm as a serene lake, radiating a warm maternal aura.
“I was hoping to marry Artemis before our child is born. So, could you do us a favor this time, even if it
inconveniences you? Probably no one else but you would willingly shoulder this burden for us. Once
you've drawn out Blaze, it would be perfect if you could bring her with you to Hallsbay for our wedding.”
Cameron waved his hand dismissively. “All right, all right, we'll do as you say. Stop playing the victim
here. Just let me know when you need me. I'll be there to help. Please spare me the lectures. I really
can't stand them.”
Bailey looked out the window with a smile.
Oh Faceless, knowing you, you should be able to use the Wraithbane in your possession, right? I'm
waiting for you. Please, don't disappoint me.
Meanwhile, inside the guest room at Black Puma's base camp, Faceless leaned against the floor-to-
ceiling window, answering a phone call.
“Did Bailey really cause a scene at Artemis' manor? Did they really part on bad terms?”
“Yes. The undercover agent in the manor witnessed it firsthand. There can be no mistake. The person
in the manor now is definitely Artemis. His spirit is crushed due to Bailey's misunderstanding. It's the
perfect time to strike. Should I send someone to assassinate him?”
Faceless narrowed her eyes, contemplating something. She paced over to the shelf, retrieving a white
porcelain bottle from a hidden compartment.
Inside this container was a potent poison, which she had purchased from a poison-crafting expert. It
was said to be the culmination of the poison-crafting expert's life's work, and once a person was
poisoned, it would be difficult to neutralize it.
Rather than outright killing Artemis, it would be better to poison him, holding his life in her hands. This
way, she could use it as leverage against Bailey in the future.
If Bailey still had feelings for Artemis, she would undoubtedly make every effort to obtain the antidote
from her.
If she no longer cared about Artemis, at most, she would just waste some time. There wouldn't be any
real loss.
With these thoughts in mind, her determination grew stronger. Speaking into the phone, she said,
"Come to the base camp tonight and collect a bottle of poison from me. I will then show you what to
do."
"Understood."
After ending the call, Faceless tightly gripped her phone.
We can only find out if Bailey has truly broken up with Artemis by giving it a try.
"How are things going with Black Puma? Did he follow my instructions?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
The black-clad bodyguard standing silently behind her heard her question and quickly replied, "Mr.
Black Puma has already mobilized all available manpower, dispersing them throughout Ordano. If
Bailey or Artemis make any move, he will strike back fiercely, not giving them any chance to recover.
Black Puma is leading the way to protect you. Just focus on your task, and if anything goes wrong, you
can simply shift the blame onto him."
Faceless smirked. With Black Puma as a target, she could solely concentrate on setting traps for
Bailey.
"Spread a rumor. Ensure that the outside world is aware of it."
