“Ms. Everheart.”

Chase chased after Renee, who looked rather emaciated and lonely from the back.

“What is it?”

“Are you really going to leave now?”

“Why should I stay here?”

“You should hurry up and stop Boss! He’s not joking, you know. No one else in Carmine Pawnshop—no, no one else

in Beach City can stop him except you! If you leave now, then Mr. Q… no, then that devil Mr. Hunt will surely die!”

“Since you called him the devil yourself, then isn’t it right that he should die anyway?”

“You can say that,” Chase warned her with feeling, “but if he really dies, then he’ll really be gone forever. Won’t you

be upset? Or rather… aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

Stefan Hunt had always been Carmine Pawnshop’s deadliest enemy. Back then, when the two parties were at war

with each other, Chase was one of the main forces fighting against him, and he even had his leg injured by the Hunt

family, an injury from which he still suffered long-term effects even now. Naturally, Chase also hated Stefan Hunt

with a passion.

But when he remembered his interactions with Stefan Hunt in the past four years, he realized that the man was not

as heinous as he thought. He definitely did not deserve to die so easily.

“Hmph, upset? Why would I be?”

Renee turned her back against the water prison and sneered, “Should I be upset that he’d played me like a puppet?

Or should I be upset that he raised up my hopes, only to once again obliterate them into pieces? Or should I be

upset that he gave up on me again and again?”

She had always been a woman with high self-esteem and pride. The first time she got hurt, she was still strong

enough to lick her wounds and heal herself. But now that she was hurt by the same person again and again, she

would not just be pitiful if she forgave him again, but also pathetic!

“You’re right, Ms. Everheart. He should never have deceived you, but… what if he was forced to do it? No matter

what, his love for you had to be real, or he would never have rushed here without hesitation, even though he knew

full well that he was running headlong into a dead end, all just to keep you safe and sound.”

“That’s because he’s an idiot!” Renee gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening. “In that case, he’s getting what he

deserves!”

‘What a foolish man!’ she thought. ‘You should’ve known that it’s a trap! It’s none of my business that you just run

into it like an idiot!’

“I have nothing more to say, Ms. Everheart. Just think about it yourself. I only hope that you don’t regret it later.”

After saying that, Chase heaved a long sigh and glanced at his watch before speaking in a tense voice, “By this

point, the snakes, bugs, and rats should’ve all been released. If it had been someone else, we would’ve heard them

shouting and howling in pain, but this guy is still completely silent. He really is a tough one!”

“…”

“And those creatures are no ordinary creatures, you know. The banded kraits would be the mildest ones among

them…”

“The… the banded kraits? Aren’t they venomous?”

Renee gulped. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps all over.

“They sure are! I hope they won’t bite him for no reason, but still… when the water gets hot, who knows where it

will go to hide away from the heat? And when the acid is added…”

“Stop it!”

Renee’s heart was thumping in her chest like a drum. She wished she could just ignore her conscience and walk

away, but her legs were as heavy as lead, and refused to move no matter what.

“Aaaaaaah!!!!”

Just then, Stefan’s tormented wail rang out from the water prison.
