Chapter 228

While Cynthia was distracted by the phone call, Kurtis secretly moved his hand to the back of his waist, where there was a gun.

After touching the gun, he swiftly took it out and aimed it at Cynthia’s head.

He thought. This bitch dared to threaten me today. I must make her beg for mercy.

In just two seconds. Kurtis had thought of countless ways to torture her.

However, the change happened at that same moment. Just as the gun was about to poke Cynthia’s forehead, she hit Kurtis joint hard with her phone.

Kurtis‘ hand immediate! went numb, and the gun dropped from his hand.

Cynthia caught it and swept her leg. Kurtis fell straight to the ground, and a foot stepped on

on his chest

“How foolish of you” Cynthia squatted down and pressed the gun against Kurtis‘ forehead, seemingly prepared to pull the trigger.

Kurtis was so frightened that his eyes widened and he kept begging for mercy. “Please forgive me. I won’t do it again.”

Cynthia smirked and moved the muzzle of the gun across his forehead. “You still want to play tricks! Do you really think I’m weak?”

At that time. Hallet hurried to the private room

When he saw the scene, he covered his mouth exaggeratedly.

“So this is the plan you mentioned,” Haller said.

Cynthia stepped harder on Kunis chest and replied nonchalantly, “Some people are amenable to friendly persuasion but not to compulsion, sol had to obey his wishes”

Kurtis could barely breathe under her foot. Please show me mercy, he begged.

Cynthia ordered Hallet to move the muory on the table and then looked at the chips.

“Take those ton,” she said.

Kurtis eyes widened, and he began to struggle. “No, I won them”

“What Could you have won them without me Cynthia moved the muzzle of the gun to Kurtis mouth and poked him with it twice. At once, he was no scared to speak.

“I don’t mind telling you this now. Truthfully. I am also a person with bad luck in gambling. I love basically every game that I play. The money we won just now was all orchestrated,” Cynthia sööd and took out the remote control from her bag. “Originally, if you’d kept your promise to pay back the debt, these would be yours. However, you chose to make trouble, so I can only take them hack”

Cynthia told him her plan, and only then did Kurtis realize he had been deceived. His eyes were scarlet red. It was as if he wanted to eat her alive. Hallet took all the money. Seeing that it was almost time. Cynthia withdrew her feet and planned to leave.

Before leaving, she disassembled the gun in her hand and casually threw the parts onto the table.

The moment Cynthia lifted her foot Kurtis reached for the fruit knife on the table.

Then, he thrust it into her back.

Cynthia felt the murderous aura from behind and grined her teeth.

‘He just won’t give up, she thought.

With that, she did a neat roundhouse kick, hinting Kurtis in the chest.

Kurtis instantly flew six feet away, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Cynthia regained her balance and looked at him coldly.

In an icy voice, she said. “I forgot to tell you that I put a type of parasite in your drink just now. This kind of parasite won’t move if I don’t activate it, but if it does, your intestines and stomach will be pierced with holes. You feel a piercing pain in your stomach now, don’t you? This is just a warning to you. Don’t think of uking revenge, and stay away from here. This parasite will never die. Don’t doubt the truth of my words. You must’ve heard of the name of my master, Delilah Garten.

Kurtis broke out in a cold sweat.

The thing that must be avoided at the border was to let someone else have leverage over oneself, and now his life was in the hands of another

person

Although he was angry and regretful, he could only watch Cynthia leave and dared not do anything.

rything Cynthia said just now.

Hallet was waiting outside the room, so he heard everything

When they walked to a place with fewer people, he could no longer resist his curiosity and asked. “Did you really feed him a parasite?”

Although Delilah was also his master, he had been afraid of these things since childhood, so he did not learn them.

Cynthia nodded. “I just wanted to save you some trouble.

“It’ll never die? What parasite is that? Why haven’t I heard about it from Master Garten!” Hallet asked again.

Cynthia glanced at him and replied, “I lied to him. Ordinary parasites don’t have that long of a life span unless they are a king parasite, but I can’t bear to use such a valuable thing on him. The parasite in Kurtis is similar to the one Master Garten gave Liam. It will be expelled in a few days.”

As they talked, they got into the car and found a place to deposit all the cash onto a card.

It was past & pan. by then. With the two–hour car ride, it was already #pm, when they returned to Serene Sanctuary.

Everyone was waiting in the yard with solemn expressions on their faces.

Cynthia and Halles came in with empty baskets on their backs and stood still at the sight of that scene.

Hallet was not good at lying, so he did not dare to say anything. The moment he did, he would have given the game away.

Cynthia looked at Hallet in disdain and awkwardly tried to act dumbs. “Did you guys skip dinner? Why do you all look so serious?”

She put down her basket in a corner of the yard and only realized what was amiss when she saw that it was empty

Evan looked at Cynthia and Hallet and said sarcastically, “Where are the herbs you collected for me?”

He knew something was wrong when the two of them left in the morning, but he did not want to be too strict with them since they were

However, because the border was messy, especially at night, he set the curfew at Serene Sanctuary to 6 pm.

Cynthia and Hallei were two whole hours late.

both

Under everyone’s gaze, Cynthia racked her brain and finally came up with an excuse. “We did collect two baskets full of herbs, but Hallet tripped and sprained his ankle on our way back, and I spilled all of the herbs to help him”

Along with that flawed excuse, she winked at Haller, motioning for him to back her up

Hallet immediately caught on. He put his hand on Cynthia’s shoulder and lifted one foot to pretend that he was in pain.

“Yes. Yes… It harts so much. He tried not to stutter

A hint of anger flashed across Liam’s eyes as he looked at the hand on Cynthia’s shoulder.

Then, he used the table as a support and pulled Cynthia into his arms

Hallet, who was trying to make his act convincing, had put his entire weight on Cynthia. Without anyone supporting him, he toppled to one side. and reflexively stepped his “injured foot heavily on the ground to regain his balance.

Realizing what he had done, Hallet glanced at the others in embarrassment,

Then, he deliberately said in surprise, “Hey, I’m fine now. Looks like I recovered pretty fast….

Haller’s voice eventually became softer because he saw how livid Evan looked

In the end, he did not even dare to make a sound

Evan was nice, but he was stubborn, traditional, and liked to punish people.
