Chapter 365 - Tricked (1/2)

Following Percy along, Jack was eventually led to a luxurious room on the second floor. The room looked untouched but it was expected for a place as big of this. There were many rooms unused since it looked like the only two people were living in the mansion. The maids and butlers of the place had a separate place they stayed at attached to the room.

”Before you get a goods nights rest, sir. Your father has asked me to make sure you try our finest selection of tea. He wishes you to drink it and tell him what you think.” Percy explained.

”Well I'm not really much of a tea person, I'm not sure how I can help.” But before Jack could politely refused, two maids came rushing into the room with a silver trolley and on it was a whole tea set with snacks.

As soon as Jack saw the food, he immediately started to gobble it down without any hesitation. Once everything had disappeared, he patted his belly satisfied.

”Master, it looks like you haven't touched the tea?”

”As I said, I'm not really much of a tea-drinking person,” Jack replied.

”Please, otherwise your father would be ever so upset.” Percy insisted once again. Although Jack didn't say anything, since he had consumed the harpy his werewolf senses while being in human form had improved.

And every time Percy was bringing up the mention of his father his heart would beat faster. 'Will my father really punish him if I don't drink this tea?' He thought.

Thinking back, he remembered his father was quite strict with him when he was young. He would regularly try to hit Jack, but it never really affected him much due to his strong body but still he remembered his angry face full of rage.

As Jack lifted the teacup, he gave it a quick sniff. And rather, there was a slight hint of sourness that seemed to be putting Jack off.

”Is it meant to smell that bad?!” Jack complained.

”Like I said, it's a new formula he had obtained from the market place and wishes to test it out. Your father was very insistent on this type.”

Once again as Percy spoke his heart would beat louder. Not wanting Percy to get into any trouble Jack, held his nose and downed the drink in one go.

”So?”

”About what?” Jack replied. ”Oh! The tea, it tasted like tea I guess.”

”I shall give your feedback to your father,” Percy said as he quickly bowed down, and closed the door in a rush.

Suddenly, Jack was feeling extremely tired. He had already felt a little tired after all the travelling but it started to magnify.

”Wow, I didn't realise how tired I was,” Jack said as he started to walk towards his bed, but every step he took the energy seemed to drain from him more and more.

”Maybe, I should just sleep on the floor…”

*Bang.

Jack had collapsed and had completely passed out on the floor.

While his eyes were closed and his mind was in a weird state, he could hear odd bits of conversation now and then.

��He's so heavy!” A man's voice said.

”I'm surprised the tea actually worked, just to make sure they gave him four times the usual dose.”

”Isn't that the same amount they use on high-level beasts?”
