The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Abel answered, “Naturally, the answer is two. One is on the left, while the other one is on the right.”

Isn’t this question a bit childish?

Adam continued, “There’s something in one of my pockets. Which pocket do you believe it to be in?”

Abel chuckled and questioned, “What kind of game is this? Do you seriously need me to make a guess?”

Adam explained, “You’re right to ask a question. It’s far more complicated than a guessing game.”

“What do you mean? Please explain everything to me at once!” Abel said.

Adam said, “You win if you can figure out which pocket is empty. I’ll walk away from this, and you can go with Emmeline.”

“Or else?” Abel asked with a cold smile.

Adam clarified, “If you guess wrong, you must eat whatever is in the pocket.”

Abel mocked, “Haha! It wouldn’t be something good, right?”

Adam assured him, “Don’t worry, at least it’s not poison. I guarantee you won’t die.”

Adam sneered in his heart, but I also guarantee you won’t find the cure! It’s Adelmars’ fault to destroy the ancient tome!

“What if I don’t listen to you?” Abel sneered.

Adam cast a quick glance at Emmeline, who was unconscious. He said, “That’s easy. I’ll take her with me.”

“Do you think you’re capable of doing that?”

Adam snorted, “I don’t, but the dagger in my hand does. You don’t want Emmeline to suffer any harm, do you?

Abel reproached, “You’re truly despicable!”

Adam sneered and said, “You must abide by my rules. You have no other choice.”

Abel nodded and said, “Fine! I’ll guess.”

Adam said, “Very well! If you lose, you must accept the consequences that come with it.”

“Okay! I’ll admit my defeat.”

Abel looked at the man draped in a black bed sheet across from him. Only his ankles and black leather shoes were visible due to the size of the bedsheet, which completely covered his body. He could not make out the pockets at the bottom of his suit. All he could do was guess!

After he gave it some thought, Abel pointed to Adam’s left pocket and said, “This one is empty…”

Adam laughed coldly and asked, “So…which side is the item on?”

Abel pointed to the right pocket again and said, “Of course, it’s on the right.”

Adam chuckled heartily, “Wahahaha! Are you sure everyone would put things in their right pocket?”

Abel was stunned. He had forgotten that there were left-handed people in this world. Abel frowned, “Does that mean I made the wrong guess? It’s on the left?”

Adam took out “Deathly Desire” from his left pocket. He said, “You’ve lost. You need to admit your defeat and accept the consequences. You can take Emmeline away after you eat this!”

With that being said, Adam threw the bag that contained the powder at him. Abel stretched out one of his hands to catch it. He furrowed his eyebrows.

“Don’t worry, I told you it’s not poisonous,” Adam said.

“What is it, then?”

Adam said, “You should refrain from asking questions. Are you too scared to do this?”

Abel hesitated for a while.
