'Her phone was turned off?' Neil thought.
At that moment, Neil had a bad feeling and started sweating. Then, he got up to his feet, scurried out of the secret chamber and walked to Wicked Valley.
…
Back at the Wicked Valley, Kendall had just destroyed Lucia’s phone once she sent Neil the text. Scared and angry, Lucia shouted.
"Shut up!" Skylar was annoyed and waved at Kendall. "Take her away. Tell me when Neil is here."
"Yes!" Kendall answered and ordered the disciples to bring Lucia out. She instructed the disciples to tie her to a tree.
Lucia continued shouting at Kendall, "You evil woman. I won’t let you do anything to Neil! You better let me go. Otherwise, Neil will come for you."
Kendall scowled at Lucia’s shouting and scolded, "Shut up!"
She would not be able to bear the responsibility if Skylar was disturbed during his rest at the main hall.
Lucia came to her senses a few seconds later and turned to Kendall. "You… What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Kendall smirked. "Aren’t you bold and brave? I’ll give you a taste of the Dark Sky Spider. This is a special venomous creature reared by the Five Poison Sect. Once bitten by it, your entire body will turn numb and your skin will start to rot. By then you wouldn’t know whether you’re still alive or dead. Why don’t you try it?"
She smirked out of vengeance. Kendall would not forget the tragic death of her sister. Though Lucia was not a close relative of Darryl, Neil’s father was like a brother to him. Therefore, Lucia was considered a distant relative. She had yet to kill Darryl to avenge her sister and she decided to relieve her anger by tormenting Lucia. After all, getting bitten by the spider would only cause her to turn ugly and not die. The plan for that night would not be affected.
'What?' Lucia shuddered in fear and started breaking out in cold sweat as she stared at the Dark Sky Spider. "Don’t come near me… Don’t come near me…"
