A Messed Up Prince
As he was still speaking, the woman stopped jerking, and her body was covered in greenness, lying
coldly on the floor. Even at her final moment, despite having served the wealthy, handsome young man
with everything she had, she couldn’t figure out why her life ended so miserably.
“Good. Throw her out.” The crown prince waved his hand, as if he was merely discarding a bag of trash.
At once, a few men came over and carried the corpse out of the room.
Once the crown prince took his seat, the other woman violently shook, huddled up on the couch. He
rebuked, “Why are you people so far away? Come play with me!”
The women were so frantic that they almost wet their pants, but having no courage to defy him, they
could only shakingly walk up to him. In that instant, the women were no longer as carefree as they
were previously, and all they could feel was terror. They could not tell when the crown prince would
want to take their lives away.
Matthew glowered. What a messed up brat!
“Aren’t we playing poker? What’s this supposed to mean?” Matthew questioned with a low voice.
The crown prince beckoned with his hand, to which the devilish young man fetched over a deck of cards.
Unsealing the deck of cards, the prince casually threw them to Matthew. “Wanna check?”
Matthew threw the deck of cards back, shaking his head. “No need. Won’t be the crown prince if you
manipulated the cards.”
The crown prince leaned back and chortled. “You know me so well. I’m starting to like you!” He then
spread the cards and tossed the entire deck into the glass box.
Matthew frowned, realizing what the crown prince desired to play.
“Normal poker is boring, so let’s spice things up. The cards are now inside the box. We’ll each pull out
five cards from within, then we’ll compare who has the bigger hand. If you win, I’ll help you save your
wife; if you lose, heh, I’m sorry ’cause I’ll be unable to help you,” the crown prince relaxedly stated.
Matthew looked calm and composed. Since he had venom resistance and was immune to all
Afterward, the crown prince added, “Oh, right. I almost forgot that you’re a miracle doctor yourself, so I’ll
assume you’ve come after consuming some sort of antivenom. For fairness reasons, I’ll give you a
Neutralizer. It’s personally crafted by Mightwater’s one and only Leonard the Acupuncturist, and it’ll
eliminate the effects of antivenoms within a short time, so you won’t survive after getting bitten by the
snakes. What do you think? Will you take it?”
Matthew was visibly dazed, taken aback by the preparation the crown prince had made. He had heard
about Neutralizer, which was a rather ordinary pill, but its effect was eradicating the effects of other
medication and was originally used to control counter-effects of several pills. Nonetheless, in this case, it
would be able to erase Matthew’s venom resistance. Looking at the crown prince’s mischievous
expression, he took a deep breath and slowly nodded. “Why not.”
In response, the crown prince guffawed. “Great! This game’s getting more interesting. Hahaha, how
exciting!” He then threw a Neutralizer to Matthew.
Matthew took a whiff of the pill, confirming it was just a regular Neutralizer. Without hesitation, he
swallowed the pill. “Now, can we start?”
Seeing Matthew so straightforward, the crown prince was more than delighted. “Matthew, regardless of
the result, you’ve certainly earned my respect!” he happily exclaimed.
Matthew, on the other hand, remained a still face as he had no interest in entertaining his jabbering.
“Who’s starting?”
The crown prince laughingly replied, “Since you’re the guest, you can start first.”
