Fane distributed the freshly barbecued wings to everyone. After a while, he stood u p. "Take your time eating it. I'm going to the toilet."
After he ducked into a cubicle, he whipped out a silver needle and pricked his skin on several acupuncture points.
"Blech!"
At that moment, he vomited all the poison i n his stomach.
Fane flashed a cold smile after he kept the silver needle away. "This poison isn’t a bad idea at all, but it's shallow of her to try to kill me with this!"
He walked out nonchalantly.
At around one in the afternoon, everyone packed up and drove home.
Xena retreated to her room to rest once they arrived home. Meanwhile, Fane took Selena out for a stroll through the small patch of forest outside their villa.
"What on earth happened to Xena? She hated your guts before, and now she's treating you like a god. Never mind her buying water for you—she even opened the cap for you!"
Selena was still unhappy when she thought about what had happened earlier.
"Heh. Selena, she's not being nice to me. She drugged that bottle of water!"
Yet, Fane gave her a frosty smile. "If I hadn't promised you that I’d remain discreet just so we can weed out the man she’s seeing, I would've killed her on the spot!"
"What?!"
