Ethan lightly squeezed Lillie's hand as he looked at her in concern .
Whatever is in that champagne, nothing good will ever happen to whoever consumed it .
Ethan had no idea what could it be . But since Lillie drank it, she should know . . . right?
"What was in that drink?" He had the opportunity to ask when he guided her towards the dance floor .
Lillie wrapped her arms around his neck .
With the help of the spotlight, the two shone and glittered as they waltz around like two graceful, black swans .
"It gives me a familiar sensation, but I'm not sure what it was . " This caused a frown to mare Ethan's handsome face, worry evidently painting it .
"This is not good . What if it could kill you?"
"Nothing could kill me . Not anymore . " She retorted . Coldness glinting from her eyes . "I don't know the specific name of the drug, but I'm sure it's likely a replication of Black Egg . "
This . . . is not good .
Ethan knew what Black Egg could do to a person . He'd witnessed first hand how the White Bird Organization deals with their prisoners with the use of Black Egg .
With people's a.s.sumption, they thought Black Egg was an aphrodisiac . When in truth is that Black Egg is a capsule filled with millions of nan.o.bots that attached themselves on the nervous system .
Then, they melt inside the body because they are not adapted with the temperature .
When the nan.o.bots melts, it will heat the nervous system causing a misconception in the brain telling the body to extinguish the heat quickly .
And the only solution was s.e.xual contact .
The real purpose of Black Egg is to control the person's nervous system, specifically the brain .
That is why it was called as a failed experiment, but it managed to keep its usefulness as a torture device and a fortune .
However, when someone consumed it for a very long period of time, the nan.o.bots will adapt to the body's temperature and serves it purpose .
Take Yu Mei as a good example .
You don't get it yet? You'll find out soon .
Lillie noticed the look on Ethan's eyes and said, "It's just a copy, it will not harm me . Besides, I've consumed the Black Egg and my body turned out fine . "
"What?!" Ethan exclaimed, causing a few heads to turn, at Lillie's nonchalant confession . "How could you do that to yourself?"
Lillie shrugged, "I'm training my body to dispel poison and bad drugs . "
Ethan was greatly upset by this . "You're not allowed to do that to yourself anymore . "
Raising her eyebrow, she asked "why?"
"Because I'm worried, okay?" He cupped his hands on her cheeks and pulled in closer until their noses touched .
His eyes were closed as he said, "Your body is a precious, rare diamond . As the dragon, it's my job to keep any intruders out . "
Then, his lids opened to present a pair of silver eyes, staring into her sapphire blue orbs .
"I'm the only one who's allowed to enter . You are my diamond . You are mine as I am yours . "
