Second Chances

Chapter 175 

The King’s Poison was the most lethal poison in the King’s Association. Other than the King’s Association’s leader, no one else in the world had a cure. This poison would destroy a person’s immune system and eventually cause 

them to die helplessly. 

When Emma heard that the poison in Liam was the King’s Poison, she clenched her fists tightly. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. 

Emma took a step forward, her voice as cold as ice. “Give Liam the antidote immediately. You know the consequences of provoking me. You won’t have an easy time either.” 

Emma was the number one killer nurtured by the organization. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The organization’s strength had declined over the years. 

Emma knew that if it weren’t because the leader had no successor, he wouldn’t have pestered her. 

The masked man sneered. “In terms of strength, I really can’t restrain you anymore. But Blaze, you have a fatal weakness. You will never be able to defeat me because of that.” 

Emma’s eyes were sharp. She said nothing. 

The masked man said arrogantly, “As long as you still feel, you will never become the real number one killer. You used to feel for Bunny. Now it’s Liam. Go on… Choose. Return to the King’s Association, or watch Liam die. I will give you three days to think about it.” 

After Emma left the castle, she drove back to Icovine Estate unscathed. 

Josiah was very shocked by this result. “Boss, you’re the first person who dared to speak to the King’s Association’s leader like this and came out unscathed.” 

Otherwise, the guard at her door could have killed Emma many times over. 

Emma snorted. “He can’t do anything to me.” 

Emma was no longer that little girl who could be controlled by anyone. Instead, she was the world’s famous number–one killer, Phantom, and the boxing professional, Blaze. 

Josiah asked in confusion, “What are you going to do now? He said you have three days to consider. Boss, will you go back?” 

Emma’s breathing deepened. She wouldn’t go back. 

It would take three days from the time Liam was poisoned to the time the poison took effect. Emma had to think

about it carefully. Perhaps there was another way… 

Many years ago, the King’s Association spent ten years destroying a special plant worldwide. Emma thought perhaps this plant was related to the cure for King’s Poison. However, after ten years, this plant had almost gone 

extinct. 

If Emma wanted to find it, she had to use all her capabilities. And she might not be able to succeed… 

In the middle of the night, Emma stayed by Liam’s bed and held his hand tightly. She stared at his sleeping face, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. 

Emma bent down and kissed Liam. 

After two lifetimes of entanglement, Emma had long seen this man’s heart. In this life, Liam was her only 

obsession after her rebirth. 

“Liam, you have to be fine…” Emma repeated silently. 

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door. “Madam, bad news. Mr. Brad is here,” the butler said. 

Emma opened her eyes at once. “What is he doing here at this hour?” 

Levi also said anxiously, “Someone must have leaked the news. What should we do? Mr. Hall is still unconscious.” 

Liam was now the CEO of the Halls Group. Brad had been eyeing his position. If Brad knew the truth about Liam, he would start a vicious battle in Troln City. 

“Leave it to me. I’ll go down now.” Emma quickly changed into black silk pajamas. She deliberately messed up her hair and slowly walked down the stairs lazily. She looked like a cat that had just woken up. There was no trace of her nervousness and rushing around. 

“Brad, what are you doing at your brother’s house so late at night? Are you drunk?” Emma asked. 

Of course, Brad did not drink. He kept staring at Emma, hoping to find some clues on her face. 

However, Emma did not expect Simon to come along. She glanced at Simon and called out coolly, “Simon.” 

Simon was dissatisfied with Emma showing the photoshopped nude photos to everyone. Naturally, he did not give Emma a good attitude. 

Brad said sarcastically, “I heard my brother is sick. Emma, why don’t you let Dad and I go up to see him?” 

“Who did you hear that from?” Emma retorted. 

“–” Brad was a little stunned. “Emma, do you mean Liam is fine? Then why didn’t he come down?” 

“What’s he doing down here so late? I wouldn’t be here too if it weren’t for Simon,” Emma retorted. 

“Emma, we’re just concerned about Liam. Why don’t you let us take a look? I’ll leave after that,” Brad said. 

“Sure. Go ahead.” Unexpectedly, Emma agreed quickly. 

Brad wanted to rush up at once. 

Suddenly, Simon spoke. “Enough!” He looked angry. Every time he saw Emma and Brad arguing, he would be 

furious. His son was like a retard in front of Emma.

Simon felt stupid now. Because of a little gossip, he followed his younger son, who had nothing to do, to Icovine 

Estate in the middle of the night and made themselves look like clowns before Emma. 

“Hmph.” Simon looked at Emma coldly, then turned and left. 

Brad didn’t dare to mess around anymore when he saw his father’s reaction. 

They didn’t get far before Emma pondered and stopped Simon. “Simon, I have something to say. Let Brad go first.” 

Brad did not want to give up. However, Simon scolded, “Don’t you find it embarrassing? Get lost.” 

Simon did not believe Liam would be seriously injured so easily. Therefore, in his opinion, everything was just Brad 

making a fuss. 

However, Emma felt that as Liam’s father, he had a right to know the truth. 

After Brad left, Emma and Simon sat in the living room alone. 

Emma made Simon a pot of coffee first. She poured him a cup. Then she told him the whole truth. 

Simon was shocked when he heard this. “What did you say? Liam is really…” 

“Yes,” Emma said. “The only way now is to find the cure as soon as possible. 

Although Emma had people all over the world, she had always known the Hall family’s connections had always been unfathomable. Perhaps with Simon’s help, they would have a better chance of winning. 

Simon was trembling. The cup in his hand almost slipped. “What do say that poison is called?” 

Emma said, “King’s Poison. It’s not very well known, but it’s one of the most terrifying poisons in the underground 

market.” 

“How do you know all this?” Simon demanded.

Emma looked at Simon silently. She could not simply reveal she was once the subordinate of the one who 

produced it.

Simon saw Emma’s reaction and understood most of it. He narrowed his eyes. He had long known Emma was not 

ordinary. 

In the past, Simon had some admiration for Emma and felt she had the demeanor of a Hall family’s matriarch. But from the looks of it, his son had been in danger because of her repeatedly. He had to get rid of this danger from his son as soon as possible. 

“I can find the cure but only if you leave Liam,” Simon stated. 

Emma expected this reaction. 

There was a moment of silence in the living room. 

The butler and Levi gasped. 

Just as everyone was feeling anxious for Emma, she suddenly laughed. 

Emma placed her cup on the table. This time, she didn’t even bother with civilities. “Mr. Hall, I will not leave Liam. I’m his wife. Of course, I’ll do my best to save him. But don’t forget, he’s also your biological son. Whether you save him or not is your own business.”
