My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Meanwhile, in his room, Leon sat in his study chair with a serious expression, deeply engrossed in reading a forbidden book on poisons laid out on the table.

After two hours, he slowly closed the book and let out a small sigh.

"Hah~ What a marvelous book! The intricate details about poisons and their nuances are truly elucidated here. If such books were widely available, I can only imagine how fervently alchemists and mages specializing in concocting poisons would pursue them." Leon praised the forbidden book before him with genuine appreciation.

Having spent four hours delving into the first two books, Leon was rewarded with extraordinary insights.

While he didn't find specific information about the poison coursing through his body, Leon had managed to glean vague insights into the potential ingredients and combinations present in the poison.

He was also aware that alongside the top 100 deadliest poisons in the world, there were even more potent poisons known as ancient poisons.

These ancient poisons, distinct from the top 100 deadliest poisons, comprised only 10 types in total.

Furthermore, unlike the top 100 deadliest poisons in the world, which may have been created by various individuals over different eras, the 10 ancient poisons were all attributed to a single person: Demon Emperor Jared Crimson.

Yes, Jared Crimson, renowned as one of the most powerful Demon Emperors in the history of this world, earned his moniker as the Lord of Poison.

"Jared Crimson and the Ten Ancient Poisons..." Leon narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low tone.

His name was so legendary and feared in that era due to his formidable power in the field of poison.

It was rumored that his potent mastery of poisons could decimate the entire human race within the Holy Empire of Elysium in one fell swoop, should he desire it.

Although just a rumor, it underscored Jared Crimson's profound mastery of poisons.

Contemplating this, Leon's gaze inevitably shifted to another book that he had yet to peruse.

The book, bearing the name of its author, "Jared Crimson," likely contained comprehensive information about his vast expertise and the 10 ancient poisons he had crafted. the-place-NovelBin

"My intuition tells me that the answers I seek lie within this book," Leon said, suppressing his racing heartbeat.

He deliberately saved this book for last, choosing to read the other two books first.

Given that Jared Crimson authored this book, reading it immediately might render the other two books obsolete.

Leon took a deep breath, carefully setting aside the forbidden book he had been reading, and reached for the book authored by Jared Crimson.

"May my endeavors yield fruitful results," he whispered, his determination unwavering.

Just as he was on the verge of opening the book, Leon felt a sensation on his thighs.

"Hm?" Intrigued, he glanced downward, slightly surprised to find Fiona, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, standing beside him, her head resting lazily on his thigh.

"Fiona?" Leon exclaimed in surprise, gazing down at her, who remained nestled with her head on his thighs.

"Um?" Responding to Leon's exclamation, Fiona slowly opened her round eyes and lifted her gaze to meet his.

With her innocent and adorable smile, she narrowed her eyes into crescents.

"Good morning, Daddy," Fiona said in a soft, milky-sweet voice.

"Pfft!" Leon chuckled at her adorable expression and greeting.

Leisurely, he glanced at the clock, which already showed 11 a.m., and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, good morning, my little girl," Leon said affectionately as he gently rubbed her face, which felt as soft as a bun.

"Hehehe~" Fiona giggled as she affectionately nuzzled her face into Leon's palm.

Perhaps due to just waking up, she seemed even more spoiled than usual.

Slowly, Leon lifted her onto his lap, facing him.

He embraced her, gently stroking her slightly tousled white hair with affection as he softly inquired, "Are you still feeling sleepy?"

Inhaling Leon's soothing scent, Fiona nestled her face into his stomach and shook her head.

"No, Daddy. I'm not sleepy anymore. Besides, Fiona can't sleep without Daddy by my side," she replied in a slightly drowsy tone, rubbing her face against Leon's stomach.

Leon chuckled at her affectionate tone and felt touched by Fiona's strong attachment to him.

What father wouldn't be delighted if their daughter showered them with such affection?

Gently, he caressed Fiona's soft cheeks, and suddenly, curiosity welled up in his mind.

"By the way, Fiona, how did you end up in my bedroom last night?" he asked curiously.

He was puzzled by this, as he recalled locking the bedroom door last night.

So, how had Fiona managed to enter and appear in his room?

In response to Leon's question, Fiona gently lifted her face from his stomach and looked up at him with her bright eyes.

"Hmmm... Since Daddy often locks the bedroom door at night, sister Charlotte suggested making a duplicate key to break in," Fiona replied innocently, showing no signs of guilt.

"Ehem!" Leon choked upon hearing her words, looking at her in disbelief.

"Are you saying that you have a duplicate key to get into my room?" Leon asked once again, his surprise evident as he sought to confirm he hadn't misheard.

"Um! I have one, Sister Charlotte has one, and Sister Iris has one. Oh! By the way, Mommy seems to have one too," Fiona replied bluntly, holding her little chin.

"Puff!" Leon not only choked but almost felt like he was going to vomit blood this time.

He hadn't expected that not only Fiona but also Charlotte, Iris, and even Liliana seemingly possessed duplicate keys to enter his room without his knowledge.

If it had been just Fiona and Charlotte, Leon might have been able to understand and accept it.

However, why did that little girl, Iris, have one too? Did she also have the intention of barging in, like Fiona?

It seemed unlikely, given her cold and indifferent nature toward him.

Moreover, why did Liliana, that woman, also have a duplicate key to his room?

Did she intend to break in and engage in a nighttime attack?

If she truly wished to engage in a nighttime attack, she only needed to ask, and he would gladly accompany her, as he had done before, cough!

Leon could only sigh helplessly in this situation.

Of course, he had no issue with his three daughters and Liliana having a duplicate key to his room.

It was just that he was a little concerned that Liliana might discover his secret search for an antidote to the poison in his body.

After all, he hadn't confided in her, and he worried that it might lead to trouble.

Just as he was lost in thought, Fiona's sudden words caused him to collapse.

"Oh! I forgot! Lyra also has a duplicate key to Daddy's room!"

"Puff!"
