Chapter 22: Accident

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Cough cough!

Aiden almost choked on his saliva. Seeing Sophia’s smirk, he knew the girl was deliberately teasing him. He shook his head helplessly and didn’t continue the topic.

After about three minutes, Sophia suddenly said, “They’re coming in.”

Aiden looked down. Sure enough, Professor Martin walked slowly toward the hotel door, arm in arm with his wife.

At the same time, Aiden’s phone rang again. It was still a message from Professor Martin: ‘Fifteen minutes later, the cake should be delivered to Room 506’.

“506?” Aiden repeated silently. At this moment, the room he and Sophia were in was 503, which meant that Professor Martin and his wife’s room was diagonally opposite theirs.

“Prepare yourself and organize your words. Try not to be seen through.” Sophia had a serious expression on her face. They were going to face a ferocious beast that might have already discovered Professor Martin’s identity as an Awakened. Any accident might agitate the other party and cause it to shapeshift. This was the red-light district. Once a fight broke out, the commotion might attract more ferocious beasts. Then it would be all over.

“Yes.” Aiden took a deep breath and calmed his nerves. He stared at his phone and waited silently.

Fifteen minutes was a short time, but it felt like a century to Aiden. He felt a little conflicted.

He was not a good person and had no right to judge whether Professor Martin’s actions were right or wrong. If he were in Professor Martin’s shoes, could he make a decisive choice like Professor Martin?

“Let’s go.” Sophia got up to get the cake.

Dong dong dong!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, then immediately became vigilant. She quickly went behind the door and gave Aiden a look.

Aiden took the hint and said, “Who is it?”

“Me, bro,” Eddie’s distinctively loud voice boomed from outside the door. “Don’t you ever do anything stupid!”

Aiden breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard his words, he couldn’t help but curse.

Do something stupid? I’m not going to f*cking commit suicide in my room. Why would I do something stupid?

He wanted to ignore him, but Eddie, the bastard, was persistent. He banged on the door and shouted at Aiden to come out quickly, realizing his mistake.

If this continued, it would definitely attract the attention of others.

“What should we do?” Aiden looked at Sophia, who also looked uncomfortable. She thought for a moment and reached out to open the door.

“Brother… Sigh!”

Eddie was leaning against the door. Caught off guard, he fell headlong into the room.

Sophia immediately closed the door and pulled the dagger from her waist.

For her plan to go smoothly, she could kill Eddie without hesitation. Of course, she had to confirm that the other party was a vicious beast.

Aiden was shocked when he saw this. He quickly signaled her to put away the dagger with his eyes. He could handle it himself.

Sophia hesitated. She looked at Eddie, who was getting up from the floor, then at Aiden. Finally, she frowned and put the dagger away.

“Oh my God, that hurts.” Eddie grimaced as he climbed to his feet. He was visibly stunned when he saw Aiden in front of him, wearing a waiter’s uniform.

“Brother, why are you wearing this?”

Before Aiden could answer, he turned around and saw Sophia standing by the door. She was also wearing a waiter’s uniform. Her beady eyes rolled as if he understood. A wry smile appeared on her face as she winked at Aiden.

“Not bad, brother. You even role-play…”

Aiden took a deep breath and resisted the urge to strangle the bastard. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a low voice.

“Of course, I’m trying to persuade you to repent!” Eddie put his hands on his hips and said matter-of-factly. Then, his expression changed when he noticed the condom packaging in the trash can.

“Y-y-you, could it be that you’ve already…”

Then, he noticed the changes in the sex equipment in the room and the messy bed. The expression on his face became even more indignant.

“Damn you, Aiden. You… you actually gave up your virginity just like that?! You… you disappoint me too much!”

Eddie was cursing as he paced the room. When he saw the cake on the table, he didn’t hesitate. He reached out and grabbed a handful.

“Don’t!” Aiden was shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late. He could only watch as Eddie took a bite of the cake and swallowed it.

Sophia’s expression was also ugly. She never thought that Eddie, who had suddenly barged in, would mess up all her plans.

“Oh, ten years? I’ll let you have ten years! You forget your righteousness when you see a woman. I let you get a room!”

As Eddie spoke, he munched on the cake. Soon, he had eaten most of the double cake.

“I’ll let you… Eh? Why am I feeling a little dizzy…” Eddie’s eyes glazed over. He shook his head vigorously and looked at Aiden. His eyes widened and he mumbled indistinctly, “Aiden, you, how did you…”

Before he could finish speaking, his fat body fell heavily to the ground. He trembled for a moment before he stopped breathing.

“This bastard! Isn’t he courting death?!”

Aiden was anxious and angry. He hurried forward to take a look. White foam was already oozing from the corners of Eddie’s mouth. The muscles on his body began to shrivel, and his face turned ashen. He looked like he had been poisoned.

“What do we do?”

“I don’t know.” Sophia was a little angry. She had never expected this idiot to come. Her plans were in shambles. The cake on the table had been destroyed beyond recognition. It would be impossible to send over.

“Forget it, saving people is more important!”

Aiden picked up Eddie and was about to leave. His healing aura could not detoxify the poison, so he had to send Eddie to the hospital as soon as possible.

“What are you doing? Do you want to die?” Sophia immediately stopped him.

“There are still many people on the streets outside. If you carry him out like this, you will definitely be targeted!”

“What else do you think we should do?! Leave the body here? We have a booking record. We can’t escape responsibility. Sooner or later, we’ll be exposed!”

Aiden growled in a low voice. He couldn’t watch his brother die in front of him.

Sophia had no intention of moving aside. As the two of them stood deadlock, Aiden suddenly realized that something was wrong with Eddie in his arms.

His shriveled body was actually filling up again. His face was slowly recovering, and his breathing became even.

This situation only lasted for half a minute before his flesh shriveled again and repeated the process.

“Well …”

Aiden was dumbfounded, while Sophia’s expression changed drastically.

“He… he’s a beast!”
