Chapter 284: The Crazy Larry

Larry's POV:

Amelia, the woman I had missed so much, was finally in front of my eyes.

It had been torture for me to be separated from her all these days.

In order to find her, I had searched high and low around the world, almost driven crazy by her absence.

I hadn't expected that she was taken away by those idiots.

They had gone too far this time.

We wizards never stuck our nose into werewolves' matters, so how dare they interfere in my business?
From the beginning, Amelia was my woman.

I would never allow anyone to take her away from me! Holding Amelia tightly in my arms, I took a deep
breath and inhaled the sweet, familiar fragrance of her hair.

My head was buzzing with excitement, and a wide grin spread across my face.

"Honey, you look as charming and beautiful as always.I'm so glad to see you again."

But to my dismay, Amelia didn't hug me back.

Her arms lay stiff at her sides as she looked at me in horror.

"Who are you? Larry, is it you? How did you become like this?"

The fear in her eyes made me pull a long face.

I shouted, "What's wrong, Amelia? Honey, aren't you happy to see me again? Can't you recognize me
because of how young I look? You like my handsome face, right? You said it yourself."



It was courtesy of my skilled magic that I was wearing the young and handsome face I currently had.I
had deliberately changed my appearance to the way I looked when I was young to remind Amelia that I
was her first love.I was confident that she wouldn't be able to forget how much we had loved each
other back then.

"You're right, Larry, I did say that.But that was many years ago," Amelia said, shaking her head.

"You might be able to change the way you look with your magic, but you can't turn back time." I
subconsciously clenched my jaw and glared at her.

Was she really aware of what she was talking about? "Tell me, why did you ask me to come here?"

As Amelia spoke, she turned her face away, as if she couldn't bear to look at me anymore.

"Are you trying to take me back? Please let me go, Larry. We can't be together again."

"No! I never agreed to break up with you," I roared.

"You have no choice.If you don't go back with me, I'll turn the whole palace upside down.I'll kill Morgan,
Anthony, Jennifer, and everyone else you care about!"

"No! You can't kill him!" Amelia screamed.

Hearing how worried she was about Morgan sent a sharp stab of fury through me.I reached out and
pinched her neck.

"Ah, just like I thought, you're refusing to go back with me because of that fool, aren't you? You must be
dreaming.Amelia, don't forget that there's poison running through your veins.If you don't do as I say
and come with me, you might as well count down the days to your death."



What an ungrateful woman! I had poured so much time and effort into scouring the earth to find her, but
here she was, happily in love with another man.

I would make her understand the price of betraying me.

Amelia's POV:

Now that Larry was actually standing in front of me and talking to me, the image of him I had in my
head as an untouchable phantom faded, and my fear of him dissipated along with it.

I took a deep breath to steady my mind.I knew that I couldn't escape from Larry.

He would take me away and torture me to death.

From the beginning, I knew that I had to face him sooner or later; it was just a matter of when.I refused
to give in to my fate.

In the past, I had lived a life of gloom and darkness.I was numb and detached from reality, like a
walking corpse.

But ever since meeting Morgan, I felt like a flower that had seen the sun for the first time.I realized what
it was like to feel alive.

Morgan had taught me the true meaning of love; it was something that could wipe away all the tears
and heal all the scars.

So for me, living a life without Morgan was akin to not living at all.

With Larry's hand around my throat, it was becoming harder and harder for me to breathe, but I just
glared at him coldly and tried my best to push out the words I wanted to say.



"In your dreams, Larry! I dared to come and meet you alone because I'm prepared to fight you to the
death.I'm not afraid of dying! I'd rather die than be with you.And there are people who will avenge me
after I die."

"You lunatic!"

Larry spat, with a crazed look in his eyes.

"Do you know how hard it was for me to find you? Aren't you scared that I'll kill your beloved Morgan?
And Anthony and Jennifer, too! I won't let any of them go!"

Hearing Larry, who was acting like he had lost his mind, call me a lunatic rendered me at a loss for
words.

Despite the situation, I almost wanted to laugh.

"If you intend on laying so much as a finger on them,I'll take you down with me right now," I said firmly,
looking defiantly into Larry's eyes.

"My magic isn't as strong as before, but I know that at the very least, I can make you suffer.Larry, if you
want to torture me, go ahead, but don't involve anyone else.I'm the one you want.Just kill me and get it
over with."

"How could you do this to me?" Larry's grip on my neck tightened as he shook me back and forth, and I
couldn't help but wince from the pain.

"I love you so much, but you don't reciprocate my feelings at all!" Larry suddenly let go of my neck and
held me tight.

"How can I bear to kill you? Honey, I love you. I love you so much I'm losing my mind."



Being caught in Larry's twisted embrace made me feel sick to my stomach.I struggled desperately
against him, but to no avail.I bit my tongue to sober myself up with the pain.

Should I die with him right now? Just as this idea popped up in my head, a sharp pain cut through my
chest.I suddenly felt weak and dizzy.

Was the poison in my body acting up again? Wincing, I covered my chest with my hands and gasped
with pain.

I was too weak to even make a sound.

Larry threw his head up and laughed when he saw me like this, as if the sight of me in agony truly
brought him joy.

"Oh, honey, this is what happens when you disobey me."

Then, without warning, he took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into my mouth.

My first instinct was to spit it out, but he pinched my chin and forced me to swallow it.

The pain in my body was immediately relieved.

"The drug that you're poisoned with was personally concocted by me.It is not fatal.But if don't take the
antidote once a month, you will suffer a fate worse than death."

Larry couldn't help but laugh harder as he spoke.

"Honey, do you really think you have another choice? I'm the only one who knows how to make the
antidote."

"Humph!" I sneered at him, squaring my shoulders.



"Do you think that I'm as scared of death as you are? I don't give a damn! I would die long before I give
in to you!"

Larry's laughter finally ceased, and his face darkened.He pinched my chin again and shot daggers at
me with his eyes.

"You don't have to make the decision so soon, honey! I'll give you a month to think about it.Of course,
nothing's going to change, so you might as well agree right now.The choice is yours.If you don't agree
to what I say, I'll kill Morgan.But if you go with me, I'll spare his life."

After saying that, Larry's hold on me loosened, and he took a few steps back before vanishing.I looked
around in a daze.

"Larry? Larry, where are you? Come back!"

It seemed that he had disappeared without a trace.I continued to stand rooted to the spot, looking at
the empty garden with complicated feelings and touching my bruised neck.I didn't know what to do.

If Larry was really going to attempt to kill Morgan, was I strong enough to stop him?
