Chapter 523: Sacrificed and Silenced
” Brother, will you be fine? ” Emma asked with a worried expression on her face, she was sitting beside him and wanted to help Jayden.
” Don’t worry I’ll be fine, probably it can’t be that bad right? ” with these false words of his Jayden tried to calm his heart.
” Anyway if you can’t eat it then I’ll pretend to faint, then we can run away. ” Emma whispered with a determined look, Jayden smiled and patted her head.
” Thanks, Emi, shhh she is already here. ” Jayden said as he saw that Alice had arrived in front of him with the plate of food in her hands.
” Tada!! Please try it Hubby, I did my best to make it and I’m sure you are going to love it. But if you find something wrong with it, don’t hesitate to point it out. ” Saying these words, Alice pushed the plate towards Jayden who took it with a smile.
He looked at the food and thought that it was not bad looking at least and it no longer smelled looked like a dead dog, he glanced at the other plates that Jia and Lao Rong had prepared, they all looked quite tasty.
” Thank you, honey I’m so happy that you made something for me, even before tasting it I could feel that it must be very tasty. And this is the first dish you have ever made right? ” He asked, trying not to eat it for as long as possible.
” Yes, this is the first time I have made something and I want you to be the one to eat it. ” Alice said.
” Since this is your first dish then this is too precious to eat, I want to store this dish as a memento of this special moment. ” Jayden said but Alice insisted that Jayden try eating it.
” Hubby, I want you to eat it pleaseee~ ”
Jayden finally couldn’t take it and nodded his head he looked down and saw the killer dish, he picked up the spoon and then took as small of a piece as he could pick with the spoon and then slowly brought it to his lips, as Alice waited eagerly for his reaction.
*CRUNCH*
Putting the small piece into his mouth Jayden didn’t even chew it and swallowed but the moment it touched his tongue he felt like vomiting, even poison would taste better than this he wondered just what had Alice added to it to make it taste so bad.
” So how is it? ” Alice asked, Jayden maintained a neutral expression on the outside even though every cell of his body was begging him to spit out the small piece.
” Mhmmm This is fabulous, I love it haah I wish I had eaten something like this earlier I never knew that you are such a great cook. It is almost like your were born for cooking. ” Jayden praised Alice, making her extremely happy.
” You really like it that much then please eat the rest, I’m so glad that you like it, hehe hubby, now I have also cooked food for you. ” Alice spoke and glanced towards Jia, all of them were looking at Jayden wondering how he was going to finish it all up.
” Of course, I’m going to eat it all, it’s so delicious after all. And don’t look at me, I’m not going to share it with any of you. ” Jayden said and turned to the other side while his back faced everyone, making them all wonder if Alice really made something tasty.
” Is it that good? Hubby I love you. ” Alice spoke in joy, she was ecstatic right now.
Jayden glanced at the food set on other plates and mumbled: ” I’m sorry Xerome, but this sacrifice is necessary. ”
Then he turned back to them with the same smile and under everyone’s shocked gazes he began to devour one mouthful of food after another.
From his actions, it seriously felt that he was really enjoying the food, within a minute he had emptied the entire plate and passed it back to Alice saying:
” Thanks for the wonderful food, it was really great honey, I’m really lucky to have you as my wife. ” He spoke and gave Alice a kiss on her cheek, she was overjoyed to see Jayden’s reaction, she was barely stopping herself from shouting and jumping.
” Was it really that good? ” Jia mumbled and began to pass the food they had prepared for everyone, and the other explanation would be that Jayden had just pretended to make Alice happy.
Alice hummed a song as she went back to put the plate away and grab food for herself, seeing Jayden’s reaction she also wanted to taste it but Jayden hadn’t given it to anyone, but this thing made Alice feel even happier.
” I hope darling is fine. ” Sasha mumbled while Eleanor nodded, those two knew perfectly that what Alice had cooked definitely was not edible.
While all the women were worried about Jayden Lao Rong and Jia brought the food for everyone as they all began to arrive around them, Alpha, Beta and the other men also came back, they took their plates and then began to eat their food.
Jayden took Emma’s plate and made it float towards them with telekinesis, he then brought it in front of her and fed her a few times, Emma also wondered if Jayden was fine after eating that food so she asked in a whisper:
” Brother, is your stomach hurting? Do you feel sick? ”
Patting her head Jayden shook his head and then glanced towards one of the plates, which was soon delivered to Xerome, after taking the plate he sniffed the food and had a big smile on his face without any further wait he filled his mouth with a big piece of the dish.
” Mmmm- Ughhhhh COUGH COUGH Someone M- Mixed Poison in my food, HELP I’m dying COUGH COUGH ”
Xerome held his throat and threw away the plate of food as he screamed loudly, but strangely enough no one around could hear him or see his strange actions.
Jayden had used Dream Domain around him to make it so that no one would be able to know that he had swapped his food with another plate and Jayden knew that with Xerome’s luck, he would definitely be the one to pick that plate so Jayden was ready to take action to silence him.
” Here eat it Emi, and don’t worry about me. ” Jayden said and ignored Xerome but wondered just what had Alice added to make such a dish.
***
When they were all done they decided to move towards the territory of the 3rd Zone demons while absorbing the cores of 2nd Zone demons in between their rest periods, Xerome was found unconscious after they were done and somehow he got loose motions, despite his healing ability.
” Since there are no demons around so let’s cover as much distance as we can, the faster we reach there the better. ” Jayden said and the rest nodded, without wasting any time they began their journey towards the territory of the 3rd Zone demons.
