Chapter 237 - Let The Fun Begin!
Richard and Smith were a little taken aback when they saw that neither of them was drinking the wine. According to Klaus' previous behavior, he would usually instantly drink the wine as soon as he got hold of it.
'Damn! Could it be that they figured it out?' Smith asked himself with clenched fists.
He brought his cup closer to his mouth and took a sip, he wanted to use this to convey to them that the wine was safe to drink.
Even after taking a sip, he didn't see any reactions from the group. He took a glance at Richard, and just as he was about to ask the group why they weren't drinking, he saw them drinking simultaneously.
Klaus held the wine jug and drank directly from it, with some wine dripping from the side of his mouth.
"Haha, good wine." He praised after swallowing a mouthful.
Grey and the others were a little more relaxed as they savored the taste of the wine before gulping it down.
"Wow! It's great!" Even Grey was forced to praise the wine.
It was one of the best wines he had tasted, one has to know that he had drunk wine from one of the best places in the Capital, the Jade Water Paradise, and there was a good difference between both.
Five minutes went by before Grey started sensing something, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
'So that's what it does?' He thought calmly.
He noticed an unfamiliar energy circulating in his body, what it was doing was out of his expectations. Instead of poisoning, what it did was slowly corrode their elemental essence, thereby making them unable to wield any element. They would then be reduced to normal people, but stronger in terms of physique since their bodies grew stronger after every breakthrough.
Grey circulated his elemental essence to try to fight against it, and he noticed that doing that actually increased the speed, but after using his spiritual energy as well, he was able to isolate the energy that wanted to block his elemental essence.
He wasn't the only one who was sensing it, the others have sensed it as well and they were also trying to stop it from taking any effect. Just like Grey, they tried circulating their elemental essences but when they noticed it worsened the situation, they instantly stopped.
Alice was the first to use her spiritual energy, followed by Klaus and then Reynolds.
The group's extended quietness alerted Richard and Smith, and they both broke out into smiles. They knew what they mixed into the wine was starting to take effect. This was not their first time using it, so seeing the group's behavior, they were certain it had started working.
"Haha, finally I don't need to take their bullshit anymore." Smith stood up laughing happily.
Richard tried to stop him but he pushed his hand away, "There's no need, since they've already drunk the wine, then they would all become normal people. I can already see the wine is starting to take effect."
"Okay, I don't think there's a need for our facade anymore." Richard smiled.
"Let the fun begin!" He licked his lips lecherously as he approached Alice.
