Chapter 146: Please Kill Me...

Within a dark forest, a dim moon shone, providing sparse illumination as a figure stumbled and fell near a tree, followed by the sounds of labored breaths coming from that person's mouth. The figure struggled to move but found that their limbs felt like jelly and refused to respond.

That person was the red-haired beauty named Scarlet, who seemed like she couldn't stand on her two legs anymore after escaping from the grasp of Rick Cutler through the use of a one-time-use teleportation artifact she had purchased on a whim some time ago.

Scarlet leaned her back against a thick tree trunk and closed her eyes, trying to calm the raging torrent of emotions that threatened to consume her soul. Yet, regardless of how hard she tried to suppress it, she couldn't deny the truth anymore.

Her body was burning up, making it difficult to concentrate on anything except her own lustful desires and hunger for a man's touch.

The fiery sensation within her abdomen flared up every time she tried to suppress it, sending waves of pleasure throughout her entire body, causing her nether regions to become moist with excitement as beads of sweat ran down her smooth skin.

She thought about Cecil, whom she trusted with all her heart but ended up getting stabbed in the back by. She wondered if everything they had been through together was fake or if she was merely an ignorant fool who didn't know anything about life outside the sect.

She bit her bottom lip hard enough to draw blood, hoping it would help her snap out of this madness.

Scarlet hated herself for being so stupid and naive enough to believe that people would always stay loyal to you when there are always hidden agendas at work that could drive them to commit such acts of treachery.

'How could she do this to me?! She was my best friend! I trusted her with everything I had, but she betrayed me without batting an eyelash!' Scarlet sobbed as tears trickled down her cheeks.

She was devastated beyond belief by this revelation, feeling like a fool for falling into this trap laid out by Rick Cutler and Cecil.

But now, there was no turning back for her, as her fate had already been sealed.

Although she escaped from getting violated, she still couldn't deny the fact that she had fallen prey to the drug and was unable to move so she could escape this forest as quickly as possible.

Asher watched her struggle against herself for a few seconds, unsure if he should interfere in whatever was happening.

However, after seeing the desperation in her eyes and hearing the pain in her voice, Asher couldn't turn a blind eye to the poor woman suffering before him.

Soon enough, he walked out of the shadows, revealing himself to the young lady.

At that time, Scarlet noticed that the mysterious silhouette who was approaching her in the darkness was no beast but instead a person.

He was clad in a luxurious black suit that fitted him perfectly, showing off his muscular frame underneath.

His short black hair was well groomed, while his sharp blue eyes had a certain charm to them, which exuded a sense of confidence that could only be obtained from someone who had gone through many hardships and managed to overcome them.

The beautiful moonlight illuminated from the thick canopy on his face made his features even more defined than before.

Seeing such a handsome young man emerge from the darkness of the forest made Scarlet's heart skip a beat.

Her body heated up even more as she gazed upon his perfect physique, causing her breath to quicken because of the effect the drug had on her.

"Ahhh... " Scarlet couldn't help but let out a low moan when she caught sight of Asher, and not sooner than that, she realized her situation, which made her heart go cold.

She feared that she would fall into his arms, so she bit her lips hard, drawing blood, snapping out of the effect for a moment, and begged as tears poured down her eyes.

"Please... please kill me... Kill me now... before I turn into someone that I am not."
