362 I’M NOT LOYAL ENOUGH

He still couldn’t make up his mind. Yeah, he still couldn’t decide even after hearing Shao Yaoting’s tempting offer.

His entire body had become weak after using his power too much, and that was why the telepathy with Yu Ming was cut off even if it wasn’t his intention. His face turned pale, and he felt like he was going to vomit blood but he held it in. If he really was vomiting blood in front of the people who initiated the coup in Dong Lang, they would surely be suspicious of him using his hidden abilities, and he was lucky when he still managed to hold himself back.

When he didn’t give Shao Yaoting an answer until the end, Shao Yaoting just smirked at him before saying: “You can take your time to think, and now my people will send you somewhere to rest comfortably. It will surely be advantageous for the two of us if you are willing to give this humble servant some face, Your Highness.”

Shao Yaoting said that Wu Jinhai would be able to rest comfortably, but in fact, it was a dirty prison prepared by that old man for the Prince. Indeed, before Wu Jinhai could say his decision, he was treated as a prisoner, but he also couldn’t fight back because he had used up all the energy in his body._{f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂}

Thus, he could only follow when the two men ordered by Yu Chao started dragging him into the prison. They weren’t polite at all since he was just a prisoner now, and it truly hurt Wu Jinhai’s pride. Unfortunately, he had to swallow his anger because he had no strength at all to fight back.

After arriving at the prison, he was thrown into the prison before the men left him alone, and he finally let go of the thing he was holding in his mouth. A pool of red liquid could be seen in the corner of the small prison, and Wu Jinhai gasped for breath as he leaned the back of his head against the dusty wall.

Thankfully, he didn’t have a problem with dust and dirt at all, unlike someone who really cared about cleanliness.

Suddenly, his previously closed eyes opened once more at the thought of that person, and Wu Jinhai complained, “He must have heard how that old bastard tried to attract me with the antidote, right? Did he start doubting me once more after hearing all that?”

Even if he had to think about his safety in this situation, Wu Jinhai finally thought of his lover after remembering his lover’s insecurity, and his brown eyes stared blankly at the void in front of him when he also had some doubts in his heart.

.....

This place was dark, and even though it was already morning, no light could penetrate the room because the prison had no windows at all. So, Wu Jinhai couldn’t see anything when he used his ordinary brown eyes instead of the golden ones. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his golden eyes to survey his surroundings at this time, but that his energy was not enough to change his eye color, and that was why he could only rely on his brown eyes at this time.

Besides, it was just a prison, so there was nothing worth looking at now, right? Wu Jinhai thought to himself, and he once again closed his eyes, hoping that his energy could be replenished soon.

“I can understand if Bai Chen started doubting me once more after hearing my conversation with that old bastard. Even I started doubting myself after hearing his offer. Half of me really wanted to accept the offer, but the other half scolded me when I had such thoughts. Therefore, I still couldn’t decide until now.”

Wu Jinhai felt like laughing at himself when he did doubt his loyalty at this time. He wasn’t going to lie by saying that the antidote didn’t tempt him. To be honest, it was the most tempting offer he had ever received, and his mouth was itchy when he really wanted to say yes to the offer.

He was like a hungry tiger lured by fresh meat. How could a tiger refuse delicious food? If he were a tiger, then he would definitely accept the meat without thinking anything of it, but he was half-human with a brain and heart, and that’s why he didn’t make a decision right away.

“But how much I still want to consider the offer is enough to prove that I’m not loyal enough to Bai Chen. I still have a selfish streak in me, and that’s embarrassing,” Wu Jinhai continued his monologue as he felt extremely unsettled at this time.

If Bai Chen doubted him again and wanted to leave him, he could understand because he knew that he really didn’t deserve that man’s trust.

He was very pessimistic at this time, but then he opened his eyes again when he realized something, “But Bai Chen didn’t immediately destroy the black bead even if he must have started doubting me after hearing my conversation with Shao Yaoting. Does that mean… he gave me another chance? Does he still trust me?”

Wu Jinhai could feel how his heart began to pound after thinking about that, but it was not enough to help him decide at all. Even if Bai Chen might be willing to give him a second chance, Wu Jinhai still thought of his father and his empire, and that was why he didn’t want to let go of the chance offered by Shao Yaoting so easily._{f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦}

At this time, Wu Jinhai finally laughed at how selfish he was, and it was actually a bitter laugh that resounded in the empty prison. But then he suddenly stopped laughing as he felt a pain in his head, and he even moved his hands to grip his aching head.

“What’s going on here? Is this... is this another effect of the hidden technique?” Wu Jinhai had never felt pain like this before, and he was even desperately trying to hold back a scream when the pain became unbearable.

And finally, his body collapsed onto the dirty ground as his hands continued clutching his head, and he lost consciousness right after. Just then, he had a strange dream.
