Chapter 513 - 513: Bewitching – Part 1

“Wait! Could you put up a curtain around my bed? As a woman, I value my privacy. I won’t ask you to remove the surveillance cameras. Just install the curtain around and above my bed,” Nan Yan requested.

Nolan was efficient. He agreed to Nan Yan’s request for a curtain around her bed, and within half an hour, the curtain was installed. The space above the bed now had an added barrier, resembling a small Mongolian yurt from the outside. Shielded from the cameras, Nan Yan lay on the bed, feeling somewhat distracted.

Given her current condition, attempting to escape from Nolan’s clutches was nothing but a fool’s errand. However, passively waiting for rescue didn’t suit her character either. She needed to find a way to neutralize the effects of the drug in her system.

Like Nan Yan, Nolan had also studied medical arts under Hua Shifang so if she made it too obvious that she needed certain medicinal ingredients from him, he wouldn’t comply.

Moreover, if he suspected her intentions to escape, he’d tighten security, which would be counterproductive. So, how could she acquire the medicine without raising suspicions?

The next day, Nan Yan began ordering meals, mostly vegetarian dishes with exotic names. Nolan thought Nan Yan was being deliberate, using this method to vent her frustrations.

He found her little antics quite amusing. “Go and find them. These dishes are all from China and if they can’t be found in supermarkets, fly to China and buy them. Whatever she asks for must be provided!” Nolan’s order left his subordinates grumbling, feeling that the Master was spoiling Nan Yan too much. But they dared not voice their complaints openly.

For seven consecutive days, Nan Yan ordered no fewer than twenty different dishes and had the kitchen prepare them as cold dishes. Initially, Nolan would come to eat with her at every meal, watching her finish before taking away everything.

He genuinely feared Nan Yan might have other ideas, afraid she might attempt to escape. However, as time passed, Nan Yan remained calm, treating her situation like a vacation. Though she disliked engaging with him, she also didn’t argue, mostly ignoring his presence.

It was as if she understood her predicament and saw no chance of escape, choosing to conserve her energy and focus on self-care. Since she wasn’t causing trouble or resorting to hunger strikes or self-harm to threaten him, Nolan felt relieved and went about his own business.

Meanwhile, Qin Lu followed Nolan to M Country, leveraging the resources of Jun Lin Group to search for him tirelessly, both openly and covertly. Pressure mounted on Nolan from all sides.

Previously, he had only heard that Jun Lin Group was influential and best avoided to steer clear of trouble. Now, he was experiencing firsthand just how formidable they were.

And besides Jun Lin Group, the Dark Realm was also on his trail..
