My Dragon System Chapter 365 - Tricked

Chapter 365 - Tricked

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 rus.h.i.+ng 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 pa.s.sed 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?"

"The Mayor said, it was a must, just to make sure. Although I was afraid the bad smell might give it away. That's why we were all waiting on standby just in case."

Jack suddenly felt tired once again, and the words the people spoke, were all but a blur as he drifted off.

When Jack's eyes slowly started to open once again, he realised the room he was in was incredibly dark, and his head was ringing with pain.

When he tried to move his arm to see where it was, the sound of chains banging against the wall was heard. Then he tried the same with his other hand and the same thing happened again.

That's when he realised, he had been chained up. Both of his hands had been cuffed and chained to the back wall. As Jack tried pulling using all his strength, there was no result. Suggesting that the material of the chain and cuffs where off Glathrium.

"Don't bother trying to break them," Russell said. "It's impossible it was meant to keep people like you tied in."

As he looked up he realised it was a voice he recognised well. Standing just on the other side of him was his own father.?He was standing just on the other side of the cell door and right next to him where four yellow knights.

It looked like Jack was in some type of jail cell and had been chained down for whatever reason.

"Father, someone drugged me and tied me up. I think it might have been your butler. Maybe he's planning to overthrow you, is that why you're here to get me out."

"Oh, Jack, you were never were the brightest out of my children but even from my words and the fact that I'm standing here you should know what the situation is right?"

It took a while for Jack to think about what his father was saying but he had finally understood. There must have been some type of sleeping agent in the drink and he had ordered Percy to do it. That was why his heart was beating so fast.

It wasn't every time he talked about his father, but every time he had mentioned the tea. But now the big question on his mind was, Why?

"Why father, why have you tied me up?!" Jack cried. "Does mother know about this!?"

"I'm sorry but we didn't realise you were a werewolf. We thought you were a failure so we truly did raise you up just like our own son and now that we realise that you're a beast. I'm afraid you will be sold off to the VIP auction house."

Just then, another person walked in wearing the colour of yellow. Only this one was wearing robes indicating he was a mage rather than a knight.

The cell door opened and in stepped the mage. A mechanism was heard and the chain attached to Jack started to pull him back until his body was flush against the wall and his arms and legs were spread.

"Father, I need to understand why you're doing this. That's all I ask!" Jack cried. For the first time, tears were visibly running down his face. His caring loving family he grew up with. Although it wasn't for long, he remembered his childhood well and his brother….

"What happened to Malik!" Jack said. "Don't tell me you did the same to him!"

His father didn't reply but just had an odd smile on his face.

The mage then placed his hand right above Jack's chest and begun to chant out a few words. The light started to surround the palm of the mage's hand and a strange energy started to enter in Jacks body.

Bu then a screen had popped up.

[A contract is trying to be placed.]

[Current contract already exists]

[Blocking magic]

Now the mage was feeling a strange sensation in his own body and suddenly his arm jolted backwards spinning him onto the ground.
