Micah’s status was noble, yet he was willing to humble himself for the future of the Yaren tribe. He taught the villagers how to identify herbs, plant crops, and even educated the children. During that time, he would bring gifts for the children, and sometimes, he would also bring a little something for Arin.But that was just how Micah was. If he disliked someone, no matter what they did, they could never win his heart. If she went along with this plan, she would only ruin the image she had built in Micah’s mind. That would mean Micah would despise her forever, making it impossible for her to spend her life with him.Still, Arin knew she had to play along for now.Arin smiled and asked, “Out of all the women who like Micah, why did you choose me? I’m just a nobody with no background.””Precisely because you’re a nobody,” the man replied. “No one would suspect you. Don’t you want to keep Micah by your side forever? He’s exceptional, and your child with him would have the best genes.” As Arin remained silent, the man continued to tempt her.What he said had crossed Arin’s mind many times before. But as much as she wanted to be with Micah, she feared his hatred even more.She smiled again. “You’re right. What’s your plan? Tell me, and I’ll follow through.”She understood why they had chosen her. As a small-time player, she was easy to control. A little incentive was all it took to buy her cooperation.”I’ll share the plan with you. But first, to ensure your loyalty…”Before the man could finish his sentence, Arin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her skin.She realized that she had been injected with poison.The man sneered and warned, “I’m telling you, if you disobey us, this poison will make you wish you were dead.”As soon as the words left his mouth, Arin collapsed in agony, writhing on the floor. Cold sweat drenched her face, and her expression twisted in pain. Yet, she did not scream.For what felt like an eternity, the poison coursed through her, pushing her to the brink of unconsciousness. But she bit her tongue, forcing herself to stay awake.The man crouched in front of her, amused by her endurance. “Impressive pain tolerance. But remember, this poison has no cure. Don’t let your death ruin your future and drag your family down with you.” With that, the man made a gesture, and he and his followers left.
