A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1924 - 470: Using the Beauty Trap—Death Is Coming (Part 2)

This ceremony, her initial goal was me.

Neo and Agunara were merely diversions, her chosen son-in-law has always been me.

If it were in the past, he would have scoffed, considering beauty schemes to be the most laughable tactic.

Yet now, he suddenly felt a trace of hesitation in his heart,his heart sank abruptly, he was actually hesitating!

"Lorde?" Sangque asked suspiciously, "Are you hesitating?"

"Father, you’re overestimating her, she’s just a woman, she can’t stir up much trouble...."

"Do you really think she built such a large force with her bare hands just being an ordinary woman? You’re too naive." Sangque said disappointedly.

Lorde naturally knew how naive his words were just now, when a woman becomes ruthless, she is more terrifying than a man.

He just...

"You wouldn’t have fallen for that woman, would you?" Sangque probed.

Lorde’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of shame and annoyance at having his thoughts exposed, but he quickly calmed down and said flatly, "No."

"I thought so, my son isn’t the kind of shallow man. I admit that Princess is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, you can’t have her, she’s a viper, you never know when she’ll bite you. Remember my words, stay far away from her."

Sangque sounded the alarm in his heart, he knew his son’s character too well, he clearly had fallen for that woman, which is not a good thing.

"I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow, I should have let you come with me at that time." He was too confident in his son, little did he know that even heroes find it hard to pass the beauty barrier.

Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy it now.

Lorde hung up the phone silently, watching the sky full of red clouds outside the window, staining the horizon, astonishingly beautiful.

His cold, hard face appeared even sharper in the glow of the sunset, his deep blue eyes more profound than the ocean outside the window.

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he turned to scan the room: "Who’s there?"

The room was empty, deathly silent.

A pair of cold eyes swept over cautiously, something wasn’t right... the instinct for danger honed countless times on the battlefield had saved him time and again, the feeling in that instant... it couldn’t be wrong.

His hand quietly reached to his back, gripping the gun, his gaze swept over alertly.

"Show yourself."

However, the room was only this big, with no place to hide.

It seemed he was too jittery, Lorde quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not let his guard down, his intuition couldn’t be wrong.

Just as he was about to put his gun away, a cold wind blew over, in an instant, he felt a strong killing intent, but before he could draw his gun, his body suddenly hit the wall behind him, as if a big hand squeezed his neck, rendering him silent, his body was hung against the wall, all his strength seemed suppressed, in the face of that invisible force, all his struggle was in vain.

In that instant, his heart sank to the bottom, it was the most humiliating moment of his life, like fish flesh thrown on a plank, at the mercy of others.

The grip around his neck was getting tighter, he was gradually running out of breath, yet there was nothing in front of him, this was the eeriest part.

"You... who...?" he struggled to squeeze out these words from between his teeth.

"Hm." A cold snort suddenly rang out, cold enough to freeze bones, disdainful and eerie.

He suddenly felt his scalp tingle, he’d seen a ghost.

He felt the hand on his neck tighten, even during deadly fights amidst gunfire, he was never this close to death.

A powerful killing intent enveloped him like a dense, impenetrable net, tightly wrapping him within.

"Damn it."

The cold, hellish voice slowly rang out.

In the face of this mysterious and powerful force, he felt for the first time the insignificance of human strength against it.

Was today really the day he would die here?

No...

His right hand gathered strength, suddenly striking, but it only cut through the air.

Mocking laughter rang out, seeming to ridicule his overestimation of ability.

In the next instant, the pressure on his neck suddenly disappeared, his feet stumbled to the ground, clutching his neck, coughing, quickly jumping up, aiming his gun around.

"Who? Get out here?"

"Death God, here to collect some interest first." The cold voice echoed in the empty room, with a wisp of echo, adding more chills and terror to the atmosphere.

Lorde wiped his lips, a sinister smirk: "Death God? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"

"At midnight tonight, I will take your life."

With the sound of that voice, the gun in his hand suddenly flew away, towards the window, dropping down.

The cold voice repeatedly echoed in his ear, and the room fell completely still.

He confirmed that the "person" was gone.

Taking a sudden step back, leaning against the wall, his back was drenched in cold sweat. Though it was the height of summer, he suddenly felt a bone-penetrating chill.

His eyes slightly narrowed, no, this was definitely someone playing tricks, he simply didn’t believe in ghosts or gods.

——

Yun Ya slowly straightened up, "What did you say? Something happened to Agunara?"

Xiao Nan took out something resembling a mobile phone, wider than a phone, with a row of keys below, he lowered his head, quickly typing, then handed it to Yun Ya, signaling her to read the words on it.

This was a translator specifically for communicating with the mute, convenient for communication.

Yun Ya glanced at the words, it turned out Agunara had a fight with Lorde last night, got his brain messed up, and Agunara’s bodyguard blamed it all on Lorde, not knowing how this matter would be resolved.

"King Lais doesn’t dare to do anything to Lorde, used to being a turtle, doesn’t dare to stick his head out, but my good mother, she certainly won’t stand by, she’s eager for the fire to burn brighter."

Yun Ya casually took an orange, peeled it, and put a slice in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste instantly swept away the bitterness in her mouth.

Yun Ya’s countenance seemed to blossom with the sweetness and sourness, "This orange is really delicious."

That’s natural, these oranges were freshly picked from the Town of Honey Tangerine in Country Hua and airlifted overnight, each one a top grade.

"Is the Divine Doctor still angry?" Yun Ya thought of her master’s temper, stubborn and sulky, sighed in her heart.

Xiao Nan said—The Divine Doctor is researching prescriptions, not to be disturbed.

Yun Ya smiled: "Let him be." The master was wholeheartedly for her, yet she always disappointed him.

"By the way, send someone to inform Young Master Lorde, say that I’m hosting a banquet tomorrow, and he must come."

Xiao Nan suddenly felt a chill down his back, shivering involuntarily, Yun Ya raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong? Cold?"

Xiao Nan pressed his lips, shook his head lightly.

His eyes scanned the surroundings suspiciously, always feeling something was amiss.

What’s going on these days?

Yun Ya followed her gaze, smiled: "Alright, pass my message to him, I’m a bit tired, want to rest for a while." She raised her hand to rub her brow.

Xiao Nan nodded, turned, and walked out.

The moment the door closed, his mind went blank for an instant, upon lifting his head again, it was as if he had forgotten something important.

What did Miss just say?
