The man grunted. He said nothing but turned his head to look at Sophia. His eyes were bloodshot as cold sweat trickled down his forehead, but his expression still showed his stubbornness.
Sophia chuckled. Her voice was crisp as she said, “The way you behave makes me itch to hurt you.”
With that, she plunged the dagger downward and made another clean cut into his other arm.
This time, the man didn’t manage to hold back a howl.
Fabian clapped hard for Sophia, saying, “Amazing. I’ve really underestimated you. I think you can match up to me in this area.”
He thought he himself was quite capable of torturing others, but now that he was looking at Sophia, he felt that they were well-matched.
This time, Sophia did not wipe the blood off the dagger. Instead, she lowered her head to look at the man’s legs. Then, she aimed the tip of the dagger at the man’s thigh. “The next one will be at this spot, okay?”
The man yelled, but before he could say anything, Sophia struck a third time.
The man’s anguished scream was similar to a pig being butchered.
John stood up to take the dagger from Sophia. “Check and see if the blood has stained your clothes.”
Retreating back a step, Sophia immediately replied, “I’ve checked already. I’m fine.”
The man tied to the chair started whining incessantly.
Staring at him, John then said, “This should be enough. He’ll probably spit it out later.”
Fabian burst out laughing. “This guy suffered all those beatings for nothing. Everything would’ve been fine if he had talked earlier.”
Sophia looked around, then she found a chair slightly further away and sat down. Then, she blinked in a bid to look innocent despite her earlier actions.
John called his subordinates over to help the man stop the bleeding first. Those three wounds were deep, so if blood kept flowing like this, the man would soon become unconscious from the blood loss, and they wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him.
John’s subordinates were a bunch of rough-edged brutes, so their movements were pretty aggressive while dressing the man’s wounds, prompting even louder screams from him.
Sophia tutted. “How noisy.” Then, she stood up and continued, “When he’s quiet, tell me. I’m gonna go and check out what kind of place this is.”
She didn’t wait for the others’ reactions but simply wandered around the place.
It was just a warehouse and there was nothing else. Sophia walked around the place and thought that it looked quite dilapidated. It was probably abandoned for a long time.
After that, she walked to the entrance of the warehouse and looked outside; there were no vehicles passing by. This kind of place was really suitable for committing crimes.
She smiled slightly.
After those three strikes, more than half of the displeasure in her heart had dissipated.
The injury on Matilda’s body had really made her feel hot under the collar. After all, Matilda had led a sheltered and pampered life. Now that she had suffered because of Sophia, the latter felt remorseful about it.
As she stood at the door for a while, someone suddenly ran up and called out to her. The subordinate said, “Mr. Constance told me to stay with you. He said that you shouldn’t walk around alone as he’s worried that something bad would happen to you.”
Sophia smiled and asked what was going on inside. “Did that guy start talking?”
The subordinate nodded. “He did say something, but he isn’t very conscious due to being severely injured.”
Sophia knew that she had acted too violently just now. The rage in her heart had prevented her from showing any mercy. Well, I don’t need to be merciful when dealing with that kind of person.
After thinking for a moment, Sophia turned around and walked toward the warehouse.
Before reaching the door, she could already hear the wailing coming out from inside.
She tutted again. If he wants to act tough, he should maintain his act to the bitter end. Otherwise, he should have just given up earlier.
