Chapter 297: Aphrodisiac Incense (Male)

At that moment, Carter didn’t realize his right hand was no longer under his control. He suddenly pointed at the cradle and said:

"Damn it, still playing tricks on me, huh? Then I’ll gouge out one of that little bitch’s eyes first."

"Might as well ruin her face too, so she won’t turn out promiscuous like you. Damn it, you think I wouldn’t dare?"

Carter was completely deranged. The moment he tried to get up, he was shocked to find his entire body was paralyzed and couldn’t move.

"I’ll lick it, I’ll lick it..."

Chloe was already crying uncontrollably from fear. Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t harm its own cub, but seeing how insane this beast was, Chloe felt he wouldn’t spare her child either.

A mother’s strength is forged by necessity, her child is her only vulnerability, something more precious than life itself. She took a deep, heavy breath, forcibly suppressing her nausea and the urge to vomit, and prepared to yield. Just as she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and was about to take her husband’s penis into her mouth, a powerful arm abruptly wrapped around her waist and pulled her back. Instantly freed from that revolting smell, she felt as if she had been reborn.

In that very moment, Luis violently kicked the stunned Carter to the floor. Carter’s body remained rigid, showing no obvious signs of strangeness.

Fearing Chloe might ask too many questions, Luis immediately stepped forward, grabbed the rope, and pinned Carter down, binding him tightly hand and foot.

Carter’s eyes widened in disbelief. He never could have imagined the existence of such a heaven-defying System item. Unknowingly, he himself had used his own hands to cut the rope binding Luis.

At the critical juncture, Luis was thus able to turn the tables and counterattack.

Under the influence of the Aphrodisiac Incense, Carter feigned a few struggles, but was still securely tied up by Luis.

Luis sat on the small of his back, took a deep breath, then tore the tape from his own mouth, pulled out the underwear already soaked through with saliva, took a breath of fresh air, and tossed it aside.

Chloe stared at all this in stunned silence, then suddenly, overwhelmed with joyous relief, she threw herself onto Luis, hugging him tightly and weeping uncontrollably.

"Husband, I’m sorry. It wasn’t me who sent that message to trick you into coming. Carter broke in, tied me up, and took my phone right away."

"I truly didn’t know what to do. I was so terrified, so afraid he would actually harm my baby."

"I was so very afraid... of him, this utter bastard."

The beautiful woman cried, her tears falling like rain-drenched pear blossoms, a pitiful sight that stirred compassion in any who saw her. Now she was completely distraught and rambling.

Compared to the overwhelming stench emanating from her husband, this man’s scent made her feel calm, filled her with happiness and a profound sense of security.

Luis comforted her, gently stroking her back and speaking softly, "Darling, don’t rush to cry. Go and soothe the child first; she must be hungry."

"Yes, the baby, the baby, I’m so sorry, my baby!"

Chloe snapped out of it, released Luis, and hurriedly scrambled over to the crib. She picked up the child, immediately slipped one strap of her sundress off her shoulder, and guided her nipple into the baby’s mouth.

"My poor, starving baby, eat quickly, eat quickly now."

She was so frightened she seemed to be talking to herself. Meanwhile, Luis leisurely lit a cigarette, then dragged Carter over, forcing him to kneel by the head of the bed.

Under the influence of the Aphrodisiac Incense, Carter was quite compliant. His eyes were wide with terror, completely baffled by what sinister trick he had fallen victim to.

"Carter, is it? You mess up my face, fine, I won’t say much. But you try to cut off my dick? Then you’re just begging for death."

Luis sat cross-legged, facing him.

When Chloe glanced back, Luis had picked up the fruit knife that had fallen nearby and was holding it against Carter’s groin, the blade practically resting on his already shriveled, terrified penis—a truly frightening sight.

"Husband, please don’t..."

Chloe was deeply concerned when she saw this.

Luis gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Don’t worry. I’m a law-abiding citizen, not some fugitive from justice. However, we must still observe the principle of reciprocity."

"You... you better not do anything reckless. If you dare try anything, you won’t get away either."

Carter’s face was white with fear; the cold metallic sensation against his dick was undeniably real.

Luis smiled, set the knife aside, then raised his phone and started recording Carter. "You’re a wanted criminal. Breaking and entering, assault. Me taking proactive measures isn’t excessive at all, is it?"

"Bullshit, this is my house..."

Carter’s ability to speak was silently revoked by Luis again. He was so angry his face turned green, utterly confused about what was happening, his heart flooded with sheer terror.

"Alright, let’s make a deal. You truthfully explain your situation. Once you’re done, I’ll let you go. Where you run to after that is your business."

Luis grinned with a lewd expression and said, "Considering how... thoroughly your wife served me, this is your only chance, you know."

The weeping Chloe blushed, shot him a coquettish glance, wiped her tears, and focused on nursing the baby, though she still watched with curiosity.

"Remember this. It’s your only opportunity. I have no time to waste on idle chatter with you."

Luis snorted coldly.

"You... what do you want to know?"

As soon as Carter finished speaking, Luis—who had progressed from being a novice to now proficiently mastering the use of the Aphrodisiac Incense (Male)—immediately imposed a command on him: he must speak nothing but the truth, no lies permitted.

Luis asked first, "Why did you take the risk of coming back?"

Carter gritted his teeth and said, "Someone sent me a Whatsapp message, telling me that as soon as I got into trouble, my wife couldn’t wait to put a cuckold’s horns on me."

Luis paused, then immediately took out Carter’s phone and began searching through it. Chloe also moved closer, curious to see.

After all, their illicit affair had begun somewhat accidentally. Their interactions weren’t excessively frequent; they weren’t glued together every day. How could anyone have discovered them when they had been so discreet?

Looking at the Whatsapp, it was a newly added account. It had sent him some screenshots of chat interfaces.

The content first showed Chloe agreeing to go to a specific hotel, followed by Chloe sending those explicit selfies and similar things.

It deliberately omitted the fact that Chloe’s first act of infidelity was driven by financial need, entering that world for money, instead simply portraying it as a sordid affair. Thus, Carter became convinced he had been cuckolded.

Both their faces changed as they recognized it was the account used by Anglo’s subordinate to make contact.

But with a shared, unspoken understanding, neither mentioned it. For Chloe, this was a stain on her past, but it was also the beginning of her happiness.

If not for that strange twist of fate, and the malicious machinations of her sister-in-law, Nancy, she would never have met Luis. She likely would have descended into becoming a common prostitute, available to all, from that point on.

"I came back, secretly checked the surveillance footage with the property management, confirmed that someone really had come and stayed for so long... only then did I decide to take the risk and come up here," Carter added, trembling.

He desperately wanted to shut his mouth, but he simply couldn’t control himself.

The Aphrodisiac Incense (Male) could even completely hypnotize his thoughts, but Luis chose not to do that.

First, it made Carter behave more naturally, saving Luis from having to offer unnecessary explanations. Second, a wicked desire was already taking shape in Luis’s mind.

"Good. Second point: why are you wanted?"

Luis continued his questioning.

Chloe also looked over with curiosity. There had been too many rumors flying around; she never knew whom to believe. Plus, she had just given birth and was in confinement then, so she never got any definitive news.

"I... I was a senior executive in charge of cashier operations at the airline. For the past few years, I’d been spending money recklessly, living large..."

"The company finally caught wind that something was amiss. I seized the chance to transfer three million dollars overseas..."

"Three million. That’s quite the sum," Luis said with a light laugh. "Should be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. So, where have you been hiding all this time?"

Carter acted out a show of hesitation, his eyes shifting with a trace of cunning.
