Ch. 801..810

Chapter 801

Everpeak was a rural area where the people were barely updated with the latest news. It was usual for them to be unaware of something common knowledge in Pyralis. Shane looked at Tom dryly and asked, "Do you know who she is? How about Jim?" Tim nodded. "I know about Master Jim." At this point, Shane decided to stop hiding things. "Master Jim was assigned to protect a certain someone, and that someone is none other than Bonnie." 'Although the people of Everpeak might not have the latest news, Tom probably understands it now. Hopefully, I don't have to spell it out for him.' A moment later, a world-renowned figure appeared in Tom's mind. His eyes widened in shock as he stammered, "A-Are you tellingBonnie is Ms. Bonita?!" 'I should've known! However, Ms. Bonita is so prestigious that I never connected the dots that way. It turns out the two are the sperson, after all!' Noticing that Tom had realized it, Shane scoffed and said, "Now, do you know why I'm so eager to kill them? It's over for us if we let them live!" Tom grew nervous when he heard that. He kept pacing back and forth as he said, "Then, what are we waiting for, Mr. Shane? Let's chase after them! If they manage to escape, we'll suffer for the rest of our lives!" Shane looked at him condescendingly and asked, "Don't you think it's too late for you to worry about that now?" "Con, Mr. Shane! I'm anxious and scared. you have an idea, just tell me, or I throw up!" Tom was panicked that his palms began to sweat. His mind went blank, and he could not devise any plans. Still, he knew he could not allow Bonnie and her gang to live.

Shane sneered as he said, "Did you forget that they just walked toward a dead end? That path leads to a ravine. They can run, but they won't get far. So, all we have to do is pursue and catch them when they're trapped." Tom remembered the ravine and smacked his forehead. "I-I was so worked up that I completely forgot I about that. That's brilliant, Mr. Shane You're teasing them with hope and then ripping it away at the last second. I'm impressed Content His praises made Shane feel proud of himself. The latter felt like he was the most intelligent person in the world. Shane said, "All right, that's enough ass-kissing for now. Let's head over and see how things turn out for them. I can't wait to see their faces when they see the ravine!" Tom nodded and said, "You're right, Mr. Shane. Let's move now. I believe we're in for a treat." No words could describe the

ecstasy Shane felt at that moment. He could not care less about the

bodyguards lying on the ground, scratching their bodies. The itchyn kindered over twenty of powder had bitch them, but there were still more than twenty, ready for action.

Given Bonnie and her gang's situation, twenty body@yards were enough to take them down.

 

Chapter 802

Meanwhile, Bonnie stared at the ravine from the cliff, her brows furrowed. She said, "No wonder Shane and his men didn't chase us. It turns out this path leads to a cliff." Ivor said solemnly, "Let's calm down and search for another way out. We'll be fine." Jim added, "Stay hopeful. If we can't find another way out, we'll deal with them first and escape later. Your itchy powder dealt with at least half of their men. If we push back hard, we might create an opening to escape." He knew Shane cprepared this tas the men the latter hired were highly formidable. Even Jim had trouble fending them off. However, half had fallen to the itchy powder, so Jim's plan was viable. Chapter

Ivor agreed with Jim. The former looked sideways at Bonnie and asked, "What do you think? Should we turn back now? Fighting them on this cliff isn't ideal if they find us." Bonnie was about to respond when she heard Shane's triumphant voice, "Don't worry about that. We're here." She looked toward the voice, only to see Shane and Tom bringing over twenty men to form a perimeter around the cliff. Soon after, they closed in on the trio.

'These guys must've stood in the back earlier. That's why the itchy powder didn't reach them.' Ivor looked around and calmly stood before Bonnie. Then, he glanced at Shane and tried to negotiate, "You're only going againstbecause you want to be the wealthiest person in Pyratis. I'll willingly give you that title and even throw in half of my company's collaborations.

His offer sounded tempting, but Shane had been a fool one too many times. There was no way he would believe Ivor again. "Ivor, do you think I'm an idiot? What makes you think I buy your bullshit?" Ivor replied indifferently, "I'm a man of my word. I've never broken my promises. I can't help it if you don't believe me, but you only get one chance. If you don't use it well, you'll regret it." Shane smirked, saying, "You're forgetting something. You three are at my mercy now because we outnumber you. I can do whatever I want. You can't negotiate with me." "Oh? What makes you so sure I can't?" Ivor asked casually, but his arrogance was unmistakable.

Shane dared not tell his men to attack because he felt intimidated. He could only stare at Ivor and ask, "What do you mean?" Ivor brushed the debris off his suit and aggressively approached Shane. Jim was about to follow, but Bonnie stopped him and whispered, "Don't worry." Jim was stunned, wondering why

she said something like that.

Them Meanwhile, Bonnie yead his expression and knew IGE She smiled, saying, "You're

forgetting something. He's the head The content is on !

of the Knight family and the most m ruthless man in Pyralis. The content is om !

Chapter 803

Jim felt much better once he heard Bonnie's words. Chapter

'How'd I forget about that? Ivor can make anything happen in Pyralis, not to mention his blood-chilling identity. That's enough to neutralize any threat we face. A ruthless man like him has unlimited resources and capabilities. I'm not even needed here.' With that in mind, Jim turned to Bonnie. It occurred to him that he had overlooked Ivor's capabilities because Bonnie overshadowed Ivor with her incredible talents.

Meanwhile, Shane stared at Ivor, overwhelmed by the latter's imposing demeanor.

Ivor raised his chin slightly and said, "If you consideryour rival, you should knowwell. Do you think I wouldn't have prepared myself before coming to another nation alone?" Shane squinted while Ivor continued, "Of course, I made arrangements before coming out here. If anything happens toduring this business trip, my shares will go to my Grandpa. You can kill me, Shane, but I won't have any of Knight Group's shares once I stop breathing." "You're a ruthless bastard, Ivor!" Shane was shocked. "You're a family head, all right. That explains why you achieved it at such a young age. You're like a martyr. You impress me, Ivor!" Ivor responded coldly, "That's why you should consider my offer. Oh, scratch that. I think you have to accept my offer." Shane gnashed his teeth furiously and had to admit defeat. After all, Ivor had the best collaborators in Pyralis. The former would gain plenty if Ivor shared even one-third of his shares, not to mention half. 'My company will see exponential growth soon once I agree with Ivor. Maybe I should strike a deal with him.' With that in mind, Shane composed himself and said, "If you mean it, I'm sure you'll agree to sign a contract with me, right?" "That's correct," Ivor swiftly responded. Then, something occurred to him, and he added, "That said, there's no contract here. We should move this conversation to my office." Shane shook his head. "I won't believe you just because you said so. You must showyou mean it." Ivor's eyes gleamed as he stared at Shane, realizing the latter was about to take the bait. The former asked, "What do you want, Shane? Nyour terms, and I'll do everything you ask." Shane looked between Bonnie and Jim a moment later before settling on the latter. "I know you and Bonnie share a profound love, so I won't force you to do anything to her. Here's the deal. Push Jim off the cliff, and I'll believe you. Then, I'll let you two go." Bonnie's heart raced as a hint of fury arose within her. "Shane! Learn to quit while you're ahead!" Jim had kept her safe for many years. He was not just a friend but more like family to Bonnie. However, Shane had asked the man she loved to put her family in harm's way.

'That's it! Shane's dead!' Shane gazed at Bonnie and smiled coldly. He questioned, "What are you talking about, Bonnie? I'm doing this for you and your beloved. Sacrificing Jim will save both of your lives. Don't you think it's a good deal?" Bonnie sneered. "Damn you, you crazy old fart. Your thas come!" Immediately after, she dashed toward Shane and slapped him before anyone could react. She did not hold back, either. She struck him so hard that he almost blacked out.

"Mr. Shane!" Tom and the bodyguards huddled around to check on him. "Are you okay, sir?" Bonnie wanted to slap him several times but knew it was not the right time. After all, she was outnumbered. Ultimately, she stepped back.

Jim looked at her and saw how defensive she was toward him. He felt a warmth in his chest as he said, "You don't have to get upset for me. Your safety is what matters most to me." Bonnie turned to look at him. She asked solemnly, "What are you talking about? You're like family to me." Her words moved Jim again.

'That's why I've always stayed with her. Everyone knowsas Bonita's bodyguard and says I protect the pillar of the scientific research world. The truth is I'm not doing it for science. I'm doing it for Bonnie.

'That's just how charismatic she is. She makesfeel it's worth it to give my life for her if it means keeping her safe.' At that moment, Ivor glanced away and then smiled deliberately at Shane. "Hang in there, you two. Our reinforcements have arrived." Bonnie and Jim followed Ivor's previous gaze and saw Floyd leading a group of men toward them.

"Perfect, now we don't have to sacrifice anyone!" Jim had beenm worried about Bonnie's injuries since he first saw them. It seemed he could stop worrying soon. "Yeah," Ivor nodded and said coldly, "Let's deal with these guys. We'll take down as many as possible." Immediately after, he charged at them, yanked one of the men by the

collar, and started wailing at him. Meanwhile, Jim was behind Ivorm wiping the floor with the others On the other hand, Bonnie leisurely stood aside and watched the fight. 'Now that Floyd's here with backup, all we have to do is deal with whoever's in our way.' Suddenly, Shane sprang to his feet and charged toward her, his eyes filled with hatred. "Die, Bonnie!"

Ivor and Jim saw him and tried to rush to her side. However, Shane's However bodyguards held them back. 'Oh, no. I can't make it in time!'

Chapter 804

"Bonnie!" Ivor frowned and clenched his fists, his body stiffening. His eyes reddened as he watched what happened. Suddenly, something snapped in him, and he felt like the world had turned grey. Meanwhile, Jim could only stare at Bonnie as Shane shoved her off the cliff. Although he reacted, there was a reasonable distance between him and Bonnie. Jim simply had no way of saving Bonnie. As Jim and Ivor thought Bonnie was about to fall off the cliff, she grinned confidently. She dug her heels into sprotruding rocks at the cliff's edge a moment later and swung herself back, avoiding Shane's tackle. Chapter

He had charged at her fiercely but missed his target and could not stop propelling toward the ravine.

"Ahh!" Shane let out a shriek of fear.

He thought it was over for him. He tried killing Bonnie but botched it and ended up throwing himself off the cliff. He felt despair, and his face paled. However, right before plummeting to his death, someone yanked him back to safety.

When Shane found his footing and looked to his savior, he realized it was Bonnie. "Wh-why did you save me?" He had done horrible things to the tand thought Bonnie would have wanted him dead. He was in disbelief that she saved his life instead.

Bonnie approached Shane and said, "You might've tried to kill us, but that doesn't mean we must stoop to your level. Also, you were about to die before my eyes. If I did nothing, I would be a degenerate like you.

"Of course, the biggest reason I saved you is because I won't let you die so easily after everything you've done to us. I'm not that merciful." Ivor and Jim Simultaneously sighed in relief when they realized Bonnie was safe. They felt like a weight had Verne been lifted from their soldiers. It made sense since she was an intelligent woman. She would not have put herself in danger Even if Bonnie was in a tight spot, she could always turn it around effortlessly.

Meanwhile, Shane thought, 'I thought she savedbecause she's experienced and could look past the horrible things I did to them. That last part of her sentence undid any gratefulness I had for her.

'I mean, Bonnie is Ivor's fiancee. She could win that cunning and calculating man's heart. She's his equal, so why would she be any less crafty than her fiance? Bonnie's not the sympathetic, benevolent woman I thought she was.' Shane's heart sank as he stared at Bonnie, seemingly hatching another sinister plan. Simultaneously, Floyd arrived at the scene with Alfred and the cops. "Freeze! Hands in the air!"

Tom turned around and saw dozens of gun-holding police officers. His om legs turned to jelly instantly, and his body trembled. Then, he fell to his knees and placed both hands on his head.

The bodyguards also knew they stood no chance of fighting. of fightingUltimately, they all raised their hands, showing that they had surrendered. Then, they also got on their knees. Shane quickly recomposed himself, racking his brain for a solution.

'I-I can't stay here. I have to run! Things have gone out of control. If I e let them arrest me, I'll suffer!' Immediately after, he put his thoughts into action.

Chapter 805

Shane crept to the other side before the cops moved in on him. However, Bonnie noticed it immediately after. She grinned coldly and darted over to him. "Where do you think you're going?" Shane whipped around when he heard her voice. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he gulped when he saw her grin.

'That's a devilish smile. I have to get as far from Bonnie as possible.' With that in mind, he took hurried steps back. As he was about to turn and run the other way, Bonnie was already in his way again. She balled her fist and punched his belly.

"Ugh!" Shane grunted and fell to his knees, panting and looking miserable. The pain was so unbearable that he could not help but have a mild seizure. Then, it spread to his organs, growing increasingly intolerable.

He clutched his stomach and looked up at her, stammering, "Th-that was cruel, Bonnie!" Bonnie's smile widened as she stared into his frightened eyes. She casually said, "I thought I told you I won't let you die so quickly. That'd be too merciful. I'll make you wish you were dead." "Why, you-" Shane was overwhelmed with anger and resentment. However, the pain was so intense that he could not speak coherently. His back was covered in sweat as he hunched over and tried to back away from Bonnie. Chapter

'He looks so pitiful. Did he honestly think he could get away? His lack of intelligence deserves an award.' Suddenly, Bonnie kicked Shane's ankle.

Crack! The sound of a bone snapping echoed. Immediately after, Shane's blood-curdling scream filled the air, "Gah!" Bonnie watched as he grimaced in pain and anguish. Then, she withdrew her leg with a cold expression, telling Ivor's bodyguards, "I'm not done with him. Take him back to Pyralis. I'll take my sweet tsettling the score with him. Also, ensure you watch him at all times. I don't want him to escape." Ivor's bodyguards responded in unison, "Understood, Ms. Bonnie!"

"All right, then. Take the rest away. I'll give you orders on how to handle shortly. Bonnie waved f to leave. Content belo

"Copy that," the bodyguards responded again before working alongside the cops to drag Shane, Tom, Archie, and the rest away.

Shane saw the cops coming for him.

He turned to Bonnie and begged, "I-'m sorry, Ms.

from my mistonita! I've learned Please spareand givea chance to change. I swear never to do something like this again. Please, go easy on me, Ms. Bonita!"

 

Chapter 806

Bonnie squatted before Shane and stared at him dryly. She looked calm, but what she said next made his heart sink. "What, am I supposed to give you another chance to set us up again? Why would I do something like that?" Shane gulped, and he paled. Chapter

Bonnie did not want to waste another second on him. She turned sideways and ordered the bodyguards, "Take him away." Ivor's bodyguards cforward and did as Bonnie said, ignoring Shane's pleas and cries. Soon after, the authorities cleared the scene and left Bonnie, Ivor, Jim, Floyd, and several cops.

Now that the crisis had ended, Bonnie's body finally reached its limits. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she wobbled involuntarily.

Naturally, Ivor noticed it before anyone else. He raced over and caught Bonnie before she fell to the floor. Looking at her pale face worriedly, he asked, "What's wrong? Wake up, Bonnie. Con, look at me. You can't fall asleep now." Bonnie slowly opened her eyes and saw how anxious her fiance was. She palmed his cheek and forced a smile. "I-I'm okay. I'm just a little tired and want to nap. Can you holdso I can rest?" Ivor was about to say something when he noticed her exhausted expression. He kissed her forehead and said warmly, "All right, you can rest in my arms as long as you want." "Okay," Bonnie responded softly and closed her eyes. She had long overworked her body and had no strength left. She would need a long nap to recuperate.

Ivor stared at her as she leaned on him. He could not help but feel heartbroken, thinking, 'It's all my fault. None of this would've happened if Bonnie didn't have to protect me.' He sighed solemnly and carried Bonnie to Jin and the others. Then, Ivor realized something was wrong. Bonnie's skin was scorching, probably from a fever. Heong at her intensely, wanting to confirm whether it was a fever. However, he could not do it as he was carrying her.

Ivor looked at Jim, standing not too far from him, and said, "Jim, think said she has a fever. I need you to check her temperature." "A fever?" Jim frowned. "Don't worry I'm coming. Hmm, her shoulder injury must've triggered the fever.

We need to get her to a hospital, or she might be in more danger.

"Okay, let's go now." Ivor held Bonnie tighter and rushed to a car. He muttered as he walked, "Hang in there, Bonnie. I won't let anything e happen to you." Although Ivor knew she was asleep and could not hear him, it did not stop him from saying that. After all, he said it for her sake and as a reminder to himself. 'I won't let anything happen to her, no matter what. I love her more than anything.'

Chapter 807

Jim and Floyd followed Ivor. All four of them got into the car and headed for the hospital. An hour later, they arrived at the best hospital in Everpeak. Later, the doctor had Bonnie's checkup results. As Jim said, her shoulder injury had gotten infected, which triggered the fever.

Even so, Bonnie was strong, and it wasn't anything serious. They just had to tend to her wound and give her santibiotics. Chapter

Ivor had been worried sick all the way here. He finally felt better after listening to the doctor's advice. Fortunately, Bonnie's condition wasn't severe, or he would have lost control of himself.

'I'll make everyone involved in hurting her pay when I'm back in Pyralis!' Jim sighed in relief. He sat beside Ivor and thought back to everything Shane had done. Then, he looked at Ivor and asked, "How are you going to deal with Shane, Ivor?" A hint of sharpness flashed in Ivor's eyes. His voice was also filled with coldness when he spoke.

"He's going to rot in jail for the rest of his pathetic life. That's a given. However, he won't know peace before his eventual imprisonment, either! "With that said, I'll still discuss this with Bonnie and see how she wants to proceed. Once she has had her fill, I'll take over and have my turn at Shane." "That works. We'll talk about this again when Bonnie's cto," Jim said.

Then, something occurred to him, and he added, "I've informed the Everpeak Police Department to send Shane and his gang back to Pyralis. Let's go back has soon as she's awake. After all, Everpeak is hardly the place for healing." Ivor nodded. He agreed with Jim's idea.

"Alright." It was nearing evening when she finally opened her eyes. Turning around, she swept her eyes across the room and took in the sight.

'It looks like Ivor and the others sentto a hospital. With that said, I feel much better after srest. Aside from the pain in my shoulder, I'm doing quite well.' Ivor was standing outside the door.

'Bonnie should be waking up anytnow. This porridge I bought outside should be able to rejuvenate her a little.' Entering the ward with the porridge, he was thrilled that she had woken up.

"Back among the living, at last, Bonnie. Are you feeling better now? Do you feel pain anywhere else?" She shook her head gently. "I'm fine and doing much better now. There's nothing to be worried about." Then, she smelled the delicious taste of the porridge in his hand and couldn't help but glance at it. "I'm a little hungry, though. Hurry up and open it. I want to eat it now." She was so eager to eat the porridge that it made him chuckle.

"Alright. I'll pour it into a bowl now." After putting the porridge on the table, he poured it into a small bowl and stirred it up. Once it cooled, he scooped a spoonful and brought it to Bonnie's mouth.

"Open up." He acted as if he was om feeding a child. The content is on !

Her lips twitched a little. "I don't need you to feed me, Ivoryl can do it m ve myself. "Nuh-uh. You're injured because of me. So, stay put. I'm feeding you the P and I insist on it," Ivor said 1.n

Bonnie shook her left arm before him, which was working just fine. "I have a perfectly usable army. Can eat just Carro fine, Youmust've been exhausted after what happened today. I mean it, you don't have to feed me. I can do it myself

Chapter 808

"I'm not tired. You're the only thing that matters to me.." Ivor held Bonnie's hand gently. His adoration was unmistakable.

"You cto Everpeak for my sake and got injured because of me. That's not even saying that you almost fell over a cliff. It's only right that I feed and care for you now. Are you going to turndown over such small stuff? I could die from the weight of guilt alone." Her heart softened when she met his gaze, filled with love and guilt. She decided she wouldn't fight him over it.

"If you insist on feeding me, there's no reason to reject you. After all, I'll get to enjoy a top-notch service." He smiled when he heard that. Then, he brought the spoon to Bonnie's mouth. "Here, have sof the porridge." She glanced at him sidelong before leaning over to eat the porridge. The moment she gulped the first mouthful, she couldn't help but frown.

"Why is it tasteless?" He explained, "Your shoulder injury is inflamed, and you have a mild fever. I was worried your stomach wouldn't take it if I fed you something too oily, so I asked the chef to make something lighter.

"Just bear with it a little. Once we return to Pyralis and you fully recover, I'll ask our chefs to make different dishes for you daily. That ought to make things interesting." "Alright. I'll eat the porridge." 'As a medical practitioner, I know that eating oily contributes to inflammation. Chapter

'That said, I know he's doing this because he has my best interest. I guess I'll play ball for now." The next day, Ivor and the gang returned to Pyralis immediately.

Lying down on the soft couch, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew... Hsweet home." Ivor sat down next to her and thought about Shane. Looking at her, he asked, "I have Shane locked up in our villa's basement. What are your plans for him?" She mulled it over. Then, something cto her, and her lips curled into a cunning grin.

"I have an idea. Ccloser. I'm going to let you in on it." "I'm listening." He leaned in closer. Then, she whispered into his ear about the facade of her plan.

He nodded with a smile after that.

"I know what must be done now. Leave it to me, Bonnie." "Okay. Go on and do it now. I'll take a nap upstairs." She yawned.

He nodded and responded, "Sure." The safternoon, the business industry was assaulted with a barrage of news claiming that the Knight Group was about to acquire the Gemedia Group.

At the stime, it struck fear into the hearts of the Knight Group's competitors. After all, they were trying to join forces with the Gemedia Group to take down the Knight Group.

With that said, most of them were relieved.

ще They were grateful that they didn't agree to collaborate with Shane. Otherwise, the Knight Group wouldn't have stopped at acquiring the ON Gemedia Group. They would've been targets as well. Lady Luck must've smiled upon them and saved them from a disaster.

Naturally, this also dismissed their intentions to antagonize the Knight Group further After all, Ivor's company was founded more than a hundred years ago, and the man himself was a business sage.

On the other hand, they were minor companies. If they were to go against Ivor's company they'd surely achieve nothing more than getting themselves destroyed. They weren't sure how they got the idea or courage to want to collaborate with Gemedia Group and tear down the Knight Group.

Now that they saw the tragic ending of the Gemedia Group, they had all but abandoned those ridiculous ideas. It wasn't just something temporary, either. They were so intimidated that they would never dream about doing something outrageous.

Chapter 809

Bonnie woke up from her nap and read the news on the internet. Then, she glanced at Ivor, who was cutting up fruits for her, and gave him an approving look. "Well done, Ivor. Things have exceeded my expectations." Holding the fruit platter, he smiled and walked over to her side. "Naturally. That's a task you entrusted to me. Of course, I'll ensure everything goes well." She gave him a sidelong glance and snorted lightly. "Tsk, you would've done the sthing even if I hadn't asked you to. Do you think I don't know about that? Furthermore, the Knight Group stands to be the big winner of this maneuver.

"I can't believe you're trying to make it sound like you're doinga favor. You just don't know when to quit, Ivor." 'Acquiring the Gemedia Group would've driven back my competitors, especially those planning to conspire with Shane to takedown. Moreover, I can decisively solidify my company's status in the industry.

'If I think of the whole thing this way, it's worth going through everything I've experienced in Everpeak.' Ivor chuckled, stabbed a piece of sliced apple, and brought it before her lips.

"We're on the steam. If I win, you win too. Don't you agree? If you think about it that way, what's the difference?" She ate the sliced apple before rolling her eyes at him.

"What are you talking about? There's a big difference there!" Resting his chin on his hands, he looked at her casually. "Really? Why don't you tellwhat kind of difference is there?" She rolled her eyes at him so hard that they were about to pop.

'I know how good he is at twisting facts to his advantage. If I keep arguing with him, we could talk well into the night. I'm not about to do that.' "Forget it. I don't intend to waste my breath here. Givea minute. I'll finish the fruit platter, and we'll meet with Shane. We have to give him the 'good news."" He raised his fork and fed her another slice of apple.

"It's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway. Take your twith it." "Okay." She responded. Leaning back on the couch, she enjoyed the fruit, which Ivor continued to feed her.

'I have to give it to him. He's taking care ofsuperbly. Since we returned from Everpeak, he's ensured I don't have to worry about anything. He has made all possible arrangements.' She raised her eyes and glanced at Ivor. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she becwith him. 'Hmm, I know I fell in love with him for a reason. Yeah, he might be a little smart-mouthed, but he's an incredible man, all things considered.' Evening rolled on. The sun was setting over the horizon.

Bonnie and Ivor descended into the basement together.

Looking at Shane, seated in the corner, she walked over to him and asked leisurely, "Is that you, Shane? How does it feel to be locked in here? It's awful, isn't it?" Shane saw the big smile on her face and gnashed his teeth instinctively, emanating an air of intense hatred. His eyes were bloodshot at once. Chapter

"What on earth are you guys going to do to me? Will you please just cout with it?" 'Every day spent here is torture.

Since I was locked in here, I havezno idea what awaitsnext. It feels

like being trapped in a guillotine and not knowing when the blade wilm cslashing down.

'The worst part is that I'm all alone here. So, I can't do anything about my I can't situation 'Yeah. I tried controlling myself and avoiding thinking about when Ivor and Onnie were going to torture me. For crying out loud, I don't even know what they have in store for me.'

Days passed by, and his psyche was constantly being tortured, driving him to the point of losing his marbles.

 

Chapter 810

Bonnie knew how much Shane was tormented by looking at his eyes. Smiling, she asked, "Is that all it takes to torture you? Can you handle what I'm about to tell you? What if it makes you worse than you are now?" As far as Shane was concerned, she resembled the devil. He recalled the moment he stood on the cliff and the excruciating pain he felt when she kicked him.

'I remember just how unbearable the pain was. It was worse than death. Now, she has the ssmile on her face. Is she planning on beatingup again?' At the thought of it, he felt a pain in his belly again. He didn't realize it, but his body hunched a little.

Bonnie noticed it and knew what was on his mind. She grinned, and the humor in her eyes grew. "Don't worry about it. I won't hit you again. I'm just here to tell you something you must know." Surprised that she saw through him, Shane stopped himself from backing off. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "D-Did I say I'm afraid of you? Will you stop flattering yourself?" Crack! "You're not afraid of me?" Bonnie cracked her knuckles and approached him with a smile.

When he heard the sound, he could feel the hair stand up on the back of his neck. A moment later, he staggered several steps back. "D-Don't cany closer!" 'I was just trying to preserve my honor as a man when I told her I'm not afraid of her. I didn't know my words would trigger her to want to beatup for real. I should've just kept my big mouth shut.' He was in the middle of his thoughts when Bonnie stood before him.

Before he could react, she was already pulling out something from her pocket. Then, a shadow loomed before him, blocking his sight.

He thought she was about to hit him. So, he instinctively cupped his head, his body trembling. He couldn't help but yell, "Don't hit me. Don't do it!" Now that she was about to hit him, he could no longer talk tough.

'Her punches are just too horrifying. I've learned it the hard way. It felt as if she was smashing up my organs. Once was more than enough.' However, he waited a long time, yet the foreboding pain didn't land on him. Then, he opened his eyes a little. Raising his head, he saw her smiling face.

"Didn't you just say that you aren't afraid of me? So, why is your body shaking this much? Is it because it's too ask in the basement? Should I men to bring you more blankets?" He could detect the unbridled sarcasm in her tone. Then, he thought back to his exaggerated reaction and paled immediately. A hint of rage flashed in his eyes as well. Glaring at her, he barked, "Are you toying withon purpose?!" She shrugged and stared at him half-heartedly. Chapter

"Yeah. I did. What are you going to do about it?"

ON Shane was beside himself with so much rage that he fantasized about ways to mess with Bonnie. However, the reality remains that she was playing him like a fiddle. He simply couldn't win with her.

The next moment, he looked at the dimly lit and humid basement, which was enough to deflate him. Sighing heavily, he rubbed his
