Chapter 755: Ethan’s Gamble [Part 1]
It was right after sunset.
The usually crowded Tavern was awfully deserted, and its doors were firmly closed.
No light could be seen on the first floor, and only one room was faintly lit on the second floor.
But, this room was located at the very back of the Tavern, so the regular patrons weren't able to see it.
It was also raining hard just like always, so people didn't really want to stay outside and get soaked by the rain.
Fortunately, there was a scroll plastered on the door that said "Temporarily Closed. Doing renovations, and will reopen in two days."
The tavern's regular customers found this notice very unusual.
But, since a proper notice was posted, they decided to just come back after two days to see the renovations that Agnes and her family were working on.
While everyone was feeling disappointed because they couldn't have fun at their usual hang out place, the candle light inside Ethan's room flickered from time to time.
Chloe hung limp in Nicole's embrace, as the latter slowly licked the blood that was oozing out from the two puncture wounds in the young lady's neck.
After she felt her connection with Ethan fade, Nicole went to the town and entered the Tavern, while it was still closed.
As a Witch, it was very easy for her to do something like this.
She had caught Agnes, Chloe, and Benjamin completely by surprise.
Nicole didn't hesitate and turned Agnes and Benjamin into ice statues, forcing Chloe to submit to her.
The Witch of the East promised her that if she cooperated willingly, her parents would be freed from their imprisonment.
Faced with a difficult choice, Chloe chose to submit and allowed Nicole to drink her magically endowed blood.
This allowed the Witch to temporarily endure the coldness that was spreading inside her body, due to the power of her Legacy.
"Did you really think that I would not know that you were the one that helped Ethan escape?" Nicole asked softly as she raised Chloe's chin with her finger.
Chloe was in a daze and was unable to give her answer because she was currently under Nicole's control.
Truth be told, the young lady was the next one among Nicole's targets before Ethan arrived. But, since she found better, and more delicious, prey, she had left her alone.
However, that all changed when the Witch of the East was able to trace her magic as it slowly leaked out of her crystal ball.
She found out that it was coming from the Tavern, which made her connect the dots.
Because of this, she didn't hesitate to confront Chloe's family, and make her submit to her by force.
And now, she had succeeded in putting the hateful Tavern Girl under her control.
planning something that could potentially harm her.
"Toss me your wand," Nicole ordered. "Do it now."
Ethan summoned his wand, and placed it over the palm of his hand.
Nicole then used her wand to pull Ethan's wand towards her, securing it in her hand.
She inspected Ethan's wand to make sure that it was genuine.
When she had taken control of the boy for a day, she had familiarized herself with his wand,
so she was certain that the wand in her hand right now was authentic.
"Raise your hands up," Nicole commanded. "I want to make sure that you're not hiding
anything funny."
Once again, Ethan did as he was commanded, raising both of his hands in surrender.
Chloe then rose from the bed and walked towards Ethan in a daze.
She then slowly removed his clothes one piece at a time, while Nicole's wand remained
pointed in his direction.
If the young man did anything funny, she would not hesitate to use a spell to incapacitate
him.
A minute later, Ethan was standing naked in front of the two ladies.
Although Chloe was in a trance, a tinge of pink was slowly rising up her neck to her cheeks, as
if she was blushing from what she was seeing.
Nicole circled Ethan, maintaining a safe distance with her wand, ready to strike.
She carefully observed his lithe and muscular body, which had embraced her own, making her
body start to heat up as she remembered those passionate memories.
After circling him a third time, and seeing that nothing was out of place, Nicole smirked and
cast a spell on his body.
"Debilito!" The spell hit Ethan's chest directly, making him stiffen and fall backwards
helplessly.
