NovelEnglishChapter 699:
Allison's breath caught in her throat. It becclear: he was questioning her. His seemingly nonchalant tone
was laced with intent, designed to unnerve her and force a truthful answer.
She quickly calculated her response, lowering her eyes and feigning innocence. “I just... suddenly felt thirsty.”
Jareth, who had been watching closely, wasted no tin calling her bluff. “Liar, that’s not why you went to the
break room.”
Verruckt’'s face darkened, his eyes narrowing as if he'd caught her in the act. He glanced at the final layer of
bandage on her arm, his voice now laced with ice.
“Is there any point in continuing, Alice?”
Allison flinched, her eyes flickering with a moment of indecision. “N...no,” she whispered.
Without hesitation, Verruckt ripped off the final layer of the bandage, exposing her arm fully. A collective gasp
filled the room as everyone's eyes locked onto her wound.

His grip on her wrist tightened, a promise of unspoken violence hanging in the air. Despite the pressure, Verruckt
found himself doubting her. This delicate, seemingly naive woman couldn't possibly be the ruthless assassin he
had just battled. Perhaps her acting was simply impeccable.
“What assassin?” Allison feigned confusion, her voice innocent, yet tinged with fear.
She broke from her apparent panic, glancing at the guns trained on her before shaking her head in distress. “I...
I'm not. I just broke the microwave. Please, don’t fire me...”
Verruckt’s expression darkened, suspicion crawling across his features. “What did you say?”
She hurriedly gestured to her arm, her
voice pleading. “This wound... It was
