Mable was blindfolded and taken to an underground room.Aust’s subordinate made her sit on a chair and securely tied her upper body to the backrest using ropes. Then, he used handcuffs to lock her wrists securely.The black cloth covering her eyes was ripped off, and the glaring light made Mable instinctively close her eyes.“Hehehehe...”Aust’s sinister laugh sounded.Mable adjusted to the light and looked in the direction of the voice.Aust wheeled his chair closer, a smug smile on his face. “I wondered why you look familiar. It’s because we’ve met before.”Mable narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Is that so?”“You don’t remember? That’s fine. I’ll remind you.”Aust paused and revealed a wicked smile. “Five years ago, in Santaviz...”Mable’s eyes widened, and she instantly paled.“Oh, you remember?”“I-It’s you...”Aust raised his chin. “Yes, it was me who ordered the attack on the hospital.“It was also me who ordered them to capture you!”Back then, they had captured he
Mable could not control herself. Her body convulsed as excruciating pain relentlessly assaulted every cell in her body.“Ugh...”In less than a minute, Mable looked like she had just been fished out of the sea. She was drenched in sweat, and her face had turned bluish from the unbearable pain.It hurt...The man who had injected Mable opened another box and took out a small bottle of blue liquid.Ethan recognized what the man was holding and shouted in a panic, “Stop! Stop it! Aust!”It was a restricted drug. Injecting it into the body would magnify pain tenfold, even inducing pain from old injuries. Moreover, any cut made by it would leave a permanent scar. Even a man made of iron would not be able to endure it.Furthermore, Mable was pregnant.“Aust, tell him to stop! You’ll kill her! If she dies, the Necro Poison will die with her! Think this through!”That lunatic!If Ethan had known Aust would do this to Mable, he would not have told him about the Necro Poison inside her
“Boom—!”There was a loud explosion.The four-story villa collapsed and was engulfed in flames.Adam’s expression changed drastically as he ran toward the exploding villa. He did not have time to care about Aust.Rory was still inside...Rory ran out of the burning villa. Although his arm was injured, his life was not in danger.He shouted, “Hurry! Save our people!”Some of their people were still inside.“Rorr!” Adam ran over, still frightened.“Aust said Mabes is in the basement.”Without another word, Rory released the gun’s safety and walked toward Aust.“Tell me, where is Mable?”Rory tried his best to resist the urge to shoot Aust as he pressed the muzzle of the gun to Aust’s forehead. He was burning with rage, and his eyes were murderous.Aust raised his head and looked at Rory. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “I told you, the basement!”“No one is in the basement!”The first place Rory went was the basement as soon as he rushed into the villa.He could not see Ma
Rory paused and looked at Mable lying on the operating bed.“How is she?”Wilbur glanced at the time and reminded him, “You have three minutes to get changed.”Rory turned around and walked out.Two minutes later, Rory changed into scrubs and returned to the operating room.He walked tremblingly to Mable and stared at the wound on her wrists. He was about to burst into a rage.How dare Aust hurt her!“Mabes, I won’t let anything happen to you.”......On the other side, Blair suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. The doctors on the ship could not find the reason, so they had no choice but to send him back to Richworth.Solomon and Kyle dared not delay the search for Mable. After sending Blair away, they immediately brought their men to Hilary Island.When they arrived, they saw that Aust’s villa had been burned to ashes.Kyle led his team to search the island all day, but they still could not find any trace of Mable and Aust.They had no choice but to continue the s
Fasier.There was heavy snowfall in the Linders Range.The castle at the foot of the mountain was covered in thick snow. Everything was white.A little guy wearing a cashmere cloak walked out of the house and ran toward the greenhouse in the castle.As soon as he entered the greenhouse, the little guy carried a basket and started snipping off some flowers—roses, hydrangeas, tulips, forget-me-nots, etc.After a while, the basket in his hand was filled with all kinds of colorful flowers.The little guy ran back with the flower basket and accidentally slipped and fell.The flower basket rolled to the ground, and the flowers scattered all over the snow.The little guy quickly got up, not caring to check his scraped knee, and hurriedly picked up the flowers on the ground.“Spike!”Adam came out of the house and picked up Spike.Spike pointed at the flowers on the ground and struggled out of Adam’s arms.Adam tousled Spike’s hair, ordered the servant to pick up the flowers, and c
Adam frowned and said, “Aust is very stubborn. I have used all means, but he still doesn’t want to say anything.”Rory stood in front of the window and reached out to catch a few falling snowflakes. He had a bloodthirsty smile on his face.The more Aust refused to speak, the bigger the secret he was keeping.Rory went to the basement by himself.The snowy winter made the already damp basement feel even colder than usual.The biting, cold wind blew in from the iron bar windows. Even the guards in down jackets could not endure the cold.The leather boots clicking on the floor sounded like a death knell.Aust’s arms were tied with chains and strung high from the ceiling. He was barefoot, and his legs were bloody. His head was hung low, and his hair was frozen solid, covering most of his face.Rory looked at Aust expressionlessly. “Are you still going to refuse to say anything?”This old fart was quite strong.It was completely beyond Rory’s expectations.They had broken all of
Under Paul’s hypnotizing voice, Aust began to relax and slowly opened his eyes.“Very good. Don’t be afraid. I will free you from this pain. Now, tell me everything you know…”Aust stared at Paul in a daze and repeated his words, “Everything I know…”“Right. Besides you, who else participated in the attack in Santaviz five years ago?”“Five years ago, Santaviz. The Fowlers. Mr. Fowler and I…”...Winter in Fasier lasted for a long time.In March of the coming year, the snow finally melted away. Spring had arrived.Spring in the Linders Range was interesting. Small animals often snuck into the castle to look for food.The wildflowers in the mountains bloomed nicer than the flowers in the greenhouse of the castle.The fragrance of flowers filled the sky. The bees and butterflies roamed freely.The castle, which had been silent all winter, did not become lively with the arrival of spring.It was still dead silent.In the past years, Rory would meet with the elders of Secret a
Mable looked at Zoe and opened her mouth to say, “Zoe…”Her voice was unusually hoarse.Zoe was so excited that she burst into tears. She immediately rang the bell to call the nurse and asked someone to notify Rory and the others.Soon, doctors and nurses rushed into the ward.Mable lay on the hospital bed and allowed them to examine her.Before the doctor could finish the examination, Rory, Adam, and Paul arrived.After checking Mable’s condition, the doctor reported to Rory, “Ms. Jefferson’s vitals are back to normal. She’s just a little weak because she just regained consciousness. She still has to stay in bed for a few more days to let her body fully adjust. After all, she’s been lying in bed for so long. It’ll take some time for her to fully regain her strength…”It was a miracle that Mable could still wake up after being injured so badly.The doctor sighed.At first, he and several other doctors agreed that Mable would most likely stay in a vegetative state and never wak
