My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Poisoned Guest

Ye Liang had mixed the poison in the wine and even poured it for Eren to drink. Unfortunately, before Eren could take a sip, he left the ship.

From that moment, Ye Liang had been waiting for Eren to return and drink the poison. However, before Eren could return, the other Disciples came back to the ship.

It had been a perfect opportunity to kill Eren when he was alone. But if he killed him in front of others, it could become dangerous. Ye Liang had been constantly calculating the risks in his mind.

Was it worth becoming an enemy of the Demon Sect to complete the Main Scenario Quest? The only way to prevent that while completing the quest was to kill all witnesses as well.

For quite some time, he had been mentally preparing for this. But every single plan fell apart when another Battleship arrived before Eren could return. Now, it had become even more dangerous.

Eren finally returned, but he didn't return alone. He came with a guest from the Holy Church and now he was asking Ye Liang to serve the poisoned wine to this guest?

Ye Liang even wondered if Eren knew about the poison and was just messing with him.

Ye Liang gulped down, his back covered in cold sweat. However, he knew that there was no turning back now.

He stepped forward, slightly hesitating. He carefully filled two glasses with the wine and presented them to Eren and Nathaniel, maintaining a composed demeanor.

After handing over the two glasses, he stepped back. Only he knew what was going on in his mind.

'No need to worry. There is only a slight change in plan. It just means another person will die with Elder Ren and the other disciples! No, it might even be better! I can blame the Holy Church after returning to the sect!'

Eren held the glass of wine in his hand and activated the communication talisman.

"Take us to our next destination."

The battleship began to move, altering its course towards a new destination.

Nathaniel took a sip of the wine. Even in his wildest dreams, he hadn't imagined that the wine would be poisoned.

Why would he even consider such a possibility? The Western Continent and the Eastern Continent didn't have such an extreme level of enmity.

The Eastern Continent only held hatred towards the Southern Continent.

Furthermore, he didn't expect an envoy to be poisoned. Why would the Demon Sect want to create another powerful enemy when they already had too much on their plate in the form of Mist and the Hero Academy?

He placed the empty glass down and turned to look into the distance. He suddenly started frowning as he noticed that they were heading in a different direction.

"Are we not going to the Demon Sect? The direction seems different," he called out, his voice carrying a hint of suspicion.

Although he had never been to the Demon Sect, he knew the directions all too well.

"We will return to the Sect in a few days," Eren replied calmly. "But before that, we need to visit a few more places. I hope you won't mind."

As he finished speaking, he took a sip of his own wine.

While the wine went down Eren's throat, Ye Liang's smirk widened.

He pulled out his sword from his storage ring, ready to annihilate everyone on the ship as soon as the poison took effect.

In his mind, he even started a countdown as the Poison was meant to take effect in less than a minute.

Nathaniel was taken aback by Eren's words. Was this a mockery? He had already told Eren that he needed to deliver a message. It was an important matter.

If Eren didn't have time to return right now, he should have just allowed him to take his own ship instead of having it sent back.

"But I have a letter to deliver! I don't have days to waste. I have to deliver it as soon as pos-"

Nathaniel tried to explain again. However, before he could finish his sentence, he stopped. A sudden chill spread all over his body, and his heartbeat became irregular.

"You...!" he looked at Eren in disbelief. He truly couldn't believe it. He was poisoned?

He didn't have to think about it much to understand where the poison came from. The wine was filled with poison!

He didn't understand why? Why would Eren poison him? Did the Eastern Continent join hands with the Necromancer Tower?

The poison kept spreading inside his body, slowly moving towards his heart. Nathaniel placed his hand around his pendant and closed his eyes, trying to use his Divine Energy to remove the poison from his body.

Eren was initially confused about Nathaniel's reaction. He stopped in the middle of his sentence. Was he that upset because of the delay?

He didn't know that the people from the Western Continent were such snowflakes. In his eyes, Nathaniel was like a child throwing a tantrum after not receiving what they wanted.

Normally, he might have given in. But this time, he didn't want to return before completing the option at any cost.

At no cost did he want to give on the reward Hell's Pass. Even if he didn't understand the true value of the Hell's Pass, he was convinced that it had something to do with the Book of the Northern Continent.

That alone made it the most precious reward that he couldn't give up on.

"You don't have to be so upset. It will only delay the journey by a few days. We will get to the sect in a few days. On the other hand, if you are to fly, it will take a few weeks for you."

"Moreover, I didn't believe that letter is a matter of life or death. If that was the case, a Cardinal would have been sent in your place," he tried to explain.

Unfortunately, he soon discovered that this wasn't the reason for the Archbishop's strange reaction
