Poisoned Dagger

Upon hearing this news, Sivir was momentarily at a loss. As the captain of the Treasure Hunting Team, she had offended quite a few people.

Whether it's everyday squabbles, colleagues, or even her subordinates, there are people who are dissatisfied with her. Who would resort to such methods?

Regardless, we have to go and see.

Just to be on the safe side, Sivir contacted her subordinates. Although they often disagreed, they were able to unite against a common enemy in such situations.

The abandoned warehouse in the northern suburbs was originally the base of a gang in Naremajet, but later that gang offended someone and was wiped out, and no one has used it since.

I went with Sivir, while the others hid nearby to keep watch, in case we were all caught in one fell swoop.

The warehouse was very dark, but you could still see the situation: some old iron frames were piled up haphazardly around the perimeter, leaving a passageway a few meters wide in the middle.

Upon seeing us enter, the kidnappers appeared, and the leader was none other than Frodo!

Did this guy really betray us?

However, it couldn't be considered betrayal, since he had already left the dagger Treasure Hunting Team.

Several unfamiliar faces stood behind Frodo; Xiao Fei and Dona were in their hands!

"It's a pity to call you here in this way, Chief, oh no, Sivir."

Frodo? Why did you do that?

"Why? You actually ask me why? Hahaha... Fine, I'll tell you, it's because you're naive, childish, and prioritize romance over loyalty..."

Frodo rattled off a whole host of derogatory terms against Sivir; it was quite remarkable that he could spout so much in one go.

Sivir looked at him coldly. "What does that have to do with these two children?"

"Of course it matters. Otherwise, would you have obediently come over? And even if you had come over, would you have stood still obediently?"

"You despicable bastard!"

"Thanks for the compliment! But in our line of work, let's not talk about being despicable or not, let's get started!"

As Frodo gave the order, a huge net suddenly appeared on the ground, trapping us both!

I was prepared, and before the rope was even pulled up, I used the Hextech Device to shoot it off. Sivir then pulled out her dagger and cleanly sliced open the net.

They made no further moves, and we didn't launch an attack either, since the hostages were still in their hands.

"Your skills are still as sharp as ever, Sivir. But why aren't you attacking? Are you afraid I'll kill these two brats? Haha..."

"Stop talking nonsense and just say it. What is your purpose?"

"Fine! Then I'll get straight to the point. Ever since I cut off my little finger, no Treasure Hunting Team has wanted to take me in, so I want you to hand over the Poisoned Dagger to me."

"You want to be the leader of the Daggers?"

"Right."

"Hahaha... You, a man with a missing finger, dare to be the leader of the Short Daggers? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

Frodo gritted his teeth upon hearing Sivir's mockery, turned around, and pressed the knife in his hand against Xiao Fei's neck:

"Do you want me to kill this brat?"

You dare!

"What don't I dare to do!"

Just as Frodo was about to make his move, I quickly aimed my Hextech Device at him, but Sivir stopped me at that moment:

"Wait, I promise you, I'll let go of these two children!"

"Haha, releasing them is no problem, but you have to give me the dagger first."

"What if you don't release them after I give them to you?"

"You have no room for negotiation, or I'll kill these two brats first, and then kill you two!"

I don't know where Frodo got his confidence from, thinking he could kill me and Sivir with just a few people, not to mention the dozen or so men we brought outside.

However, now is not the time to waste words with him; we must ensure the safety of Xiao Fei siblings.

Seeing Sivir back down, Frodo softened considerably. To show his sincerity, he released Xiao Fei and let him retrieve the dagger.

Xiao Fei ran over quickly, his face extremely pale. Sivir immediately drew her Poisoned Dagger.

"Are you alright, Xiao Fei?"

"Yes, it's nothing."

"Take this dagger and go get Dona back."

"Good!"

Seeing Xiao Fei's calm demeanor, I felt something was off. After all, he was just a kid around ten years old. How could he not be scared at all after experiencing something like this?

Sure enough, the instant he took the dagger, he suddenly stabbed at Sivir!

I was prepared and quickly pushed him away, but I couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the ribs, and blood immediately flowed out.

Sivir was caught off guard and even forgot to dodge when faced with Xiao Fei's second thrust.

I endured the pain and kicked him away. Only then did Sivir wake up, grabbing Xiao Fei's arm tightly and questioning him:

"What are you doing, Xiao Fei! Why did you attack me?"

"I will avenge my father! You liar!"

Sivir trembled upon hearing this, and then Frodo burst into laughter:

"Hahaha... What's Sivir? Have you forgotten what you did? Do you think only you and the old man know about it?"

"Phew... I see."

Sivir let out a long breath, her expression turning cold, and then shoved Xiao Fei:

"You can seek revenge, but you're no match for me now. Get out of my way!"

"Don't be so arrogant, Sivir. This brat is no match for you, so what about me!"

Frodo took the Poisoned Dagger from Xiao Fei and, along with several others, menacingly approached.

Sivir shouted, calling in the people outside, and we instantly gained the upper hand in numbers.

I wanted to help Sivir, but my body was cold and my hands were trembling uncontrollably.

I was only grazed in the ribs by a dagger, how did it get so serious?

No, it's because of that dagger, that Poisoned Dagger... I must have been poisoned.

As I fell, Sivir quickly caught me and ordered her men to launch an attack.

But after the order was given, they didn't move. Instead, they drew their swords and approached us!

It turns out that all of these people betrayed Sivir!

She didn't seem to be in much pain at this moment, only somewhat guilty. "I'm sorry, Ezreal, I've dragged you down with me and we've both died here."

"If you really feel sorry for me, then listen to me and rush out. With your abilities, you should be able to escape!"

"Forget it, Xiao Fei and Dona already know the truth, and you're also poisoned. What's the point of me running away alone?"

"No, I'm not simply letting you escape; I want you to avenge me later!"

Sivir looked me in the eyes and finally agreed, "Okay!"

She grabbed a steel pipe and charged out as a weapon, but there were more than a dozen people at the door, and she was no match for them.

Just then, a lithe figure burst in from outside. He was empty-handed, but with just his two Iron Fist, he scattered everyone, then picked me and Sivir up and left.

Sett saved us.

He ran all the way back to the city from the northern suburbs, but my body grew colder and colder, and all I could hear was Sivir's crying:

"Ezreal, wake up! Didn't you say you were going to take me to Freljord...?"

As Sivir's voice gradually faded away, I was left with only my own consciousness.

There were no regrets, no pain, only one thought in my mind: Ezreal is too weak!

I was reborn just a few days ago and I'm already dead?

However, the poison was on Sivir's dagger; perhaps she has a way to save me!

I can't take it anymore...
