625: 10.20 Tell Him

10.20 Tell Him

Percy was clearly terrified to death. His complexion was ashy and his legs could not stop trembling under Pandora's scrutinizing gaze. Yet he still forced himself to stand upright and looked right into the other's eyes to convey his sincerity.  2

For him, Pandora was the only ticket for him to get out of this place and exact revenge on his scum father. Even if he was wrong about the youth in front of him, he still had to try! After all, what if he was right and this person was indeed the Pandora he was looking for?!

The prisoners, who were starting to empty the room, halted in their tracks as soon as they saw this scene. They could not help but applaud Percy's courage. Holy shit, this foolish man wanted to snatch Leonard's little lover right under his nose? Did he have a death wish or something?!

Coincidentally, that was also what Pandora was thinking about. Even without turning his head, he could already perceive the bone-chilling coldness radiated from the man beside him, so cold that he could not resist a shudder. He raised his eyelids and looked at Percy's do-or-die demeanor, amused. "What's so important that you can't talk about it here?" Pandora leaned his head against Lu Yizhou's shoulder on purpose and rubbed his cheek there intimately. He did not know the reason why, but a voice inside him warned him that he would not want to see the consequences if Lu Yizhou were to get angry for real. As such, he took the initiative to show their relationship to Percy. His eyes curved into sweet crescents as he linked his arms with Lu Yizhou. "Have you asked him for permission?"

Of course, Pandora was not so narcissistic to think that Percy was interested in him. Most likely, his target was Pandora's mysterious power.

Lu Yizhou lifted his eyelids and swept a frosty glance over the people who lingered on the doorway. "Scram," he spat out.

Like a group of mice bumping into a starving cat, the gossipy prisoners immediately turned tails and ran as if their butt had caught on fire. Less than five seconds later, there were only the three of them left in the tailor room. 

Time was tight. In a few minutes, the warden would come to check the room. When he saw that they were still here, he would definitely give out a warning. However, Lu Yizhou did not seem to have any intention of leaving at all. He held Pandora's misbehaving paw and fiddled with his pale and slender fingers, examining his adorable little nails with utmost interest. 

The corner of Pandora's lips twitched and he had to exert a lot of willpower not to slap Lu Yizhou's hands away. If you're going to stay, then stay. What are you getting touchy-feely for?! It was as if a thousand ants were crawling beneath Pandora's skin where Lu Yizhou was touching, very itchy and unbearable. It was all because he wanted to maintain his face in front of Percy that he did not pull away! 

He fidgeted in his seat and shot Percy an impatient look. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

Percy snuck a few resentful glances at the indifferent Lu Yizhou, wishing that he could take the hint and go somewhere else. He did not ask for much. Only a few short minutes were fine! Why was this person so narrow-minded?! Nonetheless, Lu Yizhou still pretended as if he noticed nothing, making Percy so angry that a flush arose on his cheeks. He did not dare to speak up and could only swallow this grievance alone. How hateful!

"What are you looking at him for?" Pandora's face darkened and he not so subtly placed himself in front of Lu Yizhou to block him from sight. "Aren't I the one you want to talk to?" 

As Percy looked into Pandora's golden eyes, his mind instantly fell into a trance. Like a fast-forwarded movie, he recalled the scene of his mother's death, his father who swaggered into the house together with his mistresses and illegitimate children, trying to take over sovereignty. The moment when the police barged into his house and apprehended him for crimes he did not even commit, his illegitimate siblings' mocking look as they wished him a safe journey. Lastly, he recalled the moment when the judge dropped the final verdict that sealed his fate and his miserable days in Nightingale Prison. All of the hatred, grief, unwillingness and despair fermented deep into his heart, drowning his senses until nothing was left in his mind except for revenge! 

Against his will, tears brimmed in Percy's bloodshot eyes and slid down his cheeks. "You are… Pandora, aren't you? I have a hunch that you're the person I have been looking for. The wish… I want to make a wish…"

Pandora's ethereal and bewitching voice echoed in his ear. "What do you want to wish for?"

Percy's mind went blank. The faces of the people he hated flashed through his mind and he clenched his fists tight. He wanted revenge— no, he wanted them to live a life worse than death! He wanted everyone to suffer a hundred folds! He wanted everyone to sink into despair and beg him for mercy! Under Pandora's encouraging smile, Percy opened his mouth, "I—"

However, in the next moment, a broad palm came from behind to cover Pandora's eyes. 

The magic in the air was shattered like a punctured balloon and Percy immediately came to his senses. He gasped and grabbed the table beside him for support, his gaze toward Pandora was filled with terror. W–What was that?! Just now, he could not seem to control himself. An invisible force was controlling his mind, compelling him to tell the truth. All of the suppressed negative feelings in Percy's heart were magnified infinitely, almost driving him mad with vengeance. He did not know what he would have said if he had continued…

Percy's face abruptly changed into one of excitement. "Y–You're really Pandora! It's really you!"

"So what if he is? So what if he's not?" Lu Yizhou cut him off coldly and tugged Pandora to his side. His sharp gaze was filled with dark warning, causing Percy to freeze in shock. "If you dare to get close to him again… I will tear you to pieces. Remember that."

How could Percy be willing to back down when his goal was so close at hand?! Even if it was the God of Death who stood before him right now, he would still fight for a chance to overturn his fate! 

"Who the hell are you?" Percy glowered in agitation. "Who do you think you are to monopolize him? Pandora is a person, not an object you can control at will! Just because you're strong, you think you can hold the world in your palm?! He's free to meet and talk to anyone he wants to! He's not yours!!"

"Oh?" Lu Yizhou raised a brow with a careless look. He then hooked his finger under Pandora's chin and forced the youth to lift his head. "Tell him," he stared into Pandora's widened eyes and whispered in a low, dangerous voice. "Tell him to whom you belong."
