《Cupid's Potion》Chapter 35: The Clock Is Ticking
Advertisement
I hear muffled sounds of people's voices that seem far in the distance. I could feel my body slightly move in agony from a weird sore feeling I had in my chest.
I pull my eyes open instinctively and all I could make out were blurred version of shoes. I could tell there were three pairs of them but that's all I could tell considering my vision was still blurry.
I try to move my sore body but I felt a strong hold that's keeping me from moving my arms. Looking down to my waist I notice a blurry image of brown rope. The knots tied tightly which is preventing me from breathing properly.
I can see that my vision is clearing up and look around to see that I'm tied against a pole this time.
"Finally awake I see." I look up to meet with dusty-bronze eyes. They were the eyes of Apollo and all I could see in them was hatred and the wanting of revenge.
"No shit Sherlock." I grumble out with my dry throat. Coughing a bit from the dryness I look around to see my surroundings. I see that the host club wasn't tied up no more. Before I could let out a sigh of relief I see them tied over a container.
"Really, that's very cliche." I nod my head towards the container and he smirks at my realization.
"Ah I see that you noticed your friends tied up. You see here's my plan-" he starts off but I cut him off before he could say anymore.
"Let me guess, you're going to threaten my dad to save either my friends or I? Then I'm going to be heroic and say something along the lines 'Save them and not me' and then you'll kill me while he's saving my friends and you'll get your revenge." I give him a brief summary of what I assume his plan was.

He blinks slowly and looks deep in thought.
"Yea, that's basically it." He crosses his arms and lets out a disappointed sigh.
"What's your problem now?" I question the crazy man and he looks at me.
"You ruined my maniacal moment." He replies sadly.
"Sorry?" That's all I say since I couldn't think of anything else. Looking away from the sad man I see the group all awake already and they look bored.
"Can I ask when will my father get here. You see I believe it's my birthday today and I rather spend it somewhere else besides being kidnapped." I question boringly.
"No one cares." He snarks at me rudely.
"At least some people do, and at least I'm not the one who's cliche!" I snap back at him and he lets out a low growl.
"Ugh, Francisco you better get here fast I can't stand your daughter she reminds me of your annoying ass." I see him rub his temple in annoyance.
Pushing the heel of my shoe off of my foot slightly I then fling the shoe by doing a kicking motion and it flew off my foot and ended up hitting the back of Apollo's neck, hard.
"Only I get to call Fran annoying!" I say loudly not caring that this may be a rude to my father.
I fidget on the sofa waiting for these two to finish placing on their attires. Not so long later I hear the click of the door open and out came Kyoya and Saiki.
That's Saiki's outfit
That's Kyoya outfit he's the one with the white Tuxedo.
Credits to the people who made these! (I didn't make these)
They were dressed in more formal
attire. I check their outfits making sure they were adjusted well. Though they both give me judging looks.

"What? When saving a person you have to always look good." I wink and grab them by the collar of their button up shirts.
"Let's go we don't have much time." I teleport us and we are now at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower. I could sense the overpowering magical presence of the bastard who took my daughter up at the very top.
"Listen to me whatever happens I just want you guys to save y/n and your friends. So, if worse comes to worse do what you have to do." Patting their shoulders supportingly they nod.
I walk up to the elevator, "We can't use our powers now. We're now in his territory, so now we play by his rules." I explain to them briefly while walking towards the elevator that takes us up to our destination.
"If you don't mind me asking why has this Apollo man kidnapped y/n?" Kyoya ask when getting inside the elevator.
"I'm not completely sure about his actual reasons but I know for a fact that he wants to ruin my life any way he can." I say while pushing the button to take us to the top floor.
We stayed quiet after that, I expected Saiki to ask a few questions as well, though he's being very quiet. Before I could ask Saiki how he's feeling I was cut-off by classy elevator music. I tap my fingers to the beat of the music and try to avoid the tense atmosphere that has settled in the area.
The moment of peace wasn't long once the elevator stopped and we got out of the elevator. Walking out of the elevator I notice that we aren't at the top quite yet.
"You finally arrived Cupid or should I say Francisco." A giant holograph appears above us and there was that dreadful man.
"I don't have time for your stupid mocking. Where is my daughter." I demanded to know eagerly.
"Oh you mean this little pest," The man points behind him and the camera recording him views behind him as well. I see y/n tied up as well as her friends but they were hanging over a tank of mysterious chemicals.
"Apollo let the kids be they don't have anything to do with our issue. So be an adult and let them go." I order Apollo, but he just sarcastically pouts.
"Hmm, how about no." He laughs at my angry expression. Suddenly a timer appears above him. Once that timer started ticking the rope holding the host club was lowering slowly into the container.
"Apollo, what the hell are you doing?!" My voice raises in anger now that he has put the kids in even more danger.
"I'm getting my revenge for what you did to me 120 years ago." He glares at me through the screen.
"So you better get here fast, the clock is ticking Cupid." Then the holographic screen disappears.

His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light
After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship!What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace.Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?!What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more.Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?!Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :PThank you for reading updated His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light novel @ReadWebNovels.net
