Those children did not know they had been tricked, right until their last breath.
"They—"
Just as Skylar was getting ready to wave over the 11th child, one girl seemed to have discovered something. She pointed at the ten children on the floor and cried out in terror, "Their faces are dark, they're ashen—"
As she spoke, the remaining children glanced at the ten bodies. Indeed, the previous children's faces were dark, and they looked terrified. It was clear that they were dead.
"They're dead!"
"That's so scary."
"Whoa!"
The remaining children were ridden with panic. They began to cry, one by one. Some of the less brave children had wet themselves in terror.
Frustrated by the noise, Skylar's expression grew ferocious. He roared, "Why are you crying? Shut up this instant."
His anger only scared the children more and made them cry harder. Two of the children mustered the courage to attempt to run out of the tower. Those children finally understood that the handsome man before them had no intention to teach them cultivation at all. He was there to kill them.
'F*ck, are those stupid kids still trying to escape right before my eyes?'
Skylar could not contain his anger. He stood up and moved to get the two children. However, as he got to his feet, his brows knitted instantly.
'F*ck, something is wrong.'
Skylar frowned, and his face had turned an ugly shade of unwell.
He had been completely fine just now. What was going on? Why did his body's fiend soul energy suddenly feel askew?
Skylar felt his energy was all over the place, and he could not exert any energy with his body either, no matter how hard he tried. His body also felt numb.
Those were all clear signs of poisoning.
How did that happen?
"Let's go! Let's try to run away."
Just as Skylar frowned, one of the children cried out as everyone started to try to run out of the tower.
Skylar held himself together through gritted teeth and grabbed a girl by the scruff. He said coldly, "Out with it, now. Which one of you poisoned me?"
