The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 280

The high-pressure water struck like countless icy blades, slicing into his flesh. The sheer, violent force caused the heavy wooden chair to shudder violently, its four legs scraping against the floor under the extreme pressure.

A blinding, freezing agony instantly ripped through his entire body, tearing past his skin and sinking straight into his bones.

Silas's body violently locked up, his tensed shoulders trembling uncontrollably. He ground his teeth together with such brutal force that his jawline stood out in sharp, aggressive relief.

The relentless torrent of freezing water battered his face, blinding him and flooding his nose and mouth. It choked the oxygen from his lungs as every inch of his skin convulsed in excruciating pain.

The leather belts dug deeper into his wrists and ankles, cutting brutally into his skin. The fresh blood that seeped out was instantly washed away by the freezing streams, pooling thinly on the floor.

His body heat vanished rapidly, leaving his limbs numb and rigid. Under the crushing combination of brutal pain and sub-zero cold, his consciousness began to violently fray and blur.

Plumes of white vapor escaped his blue lips with every shallow, erratic breath. Dark spots swarmed his vision, and wave after wave of intense vertigo threatened to swallow him whole.

Yet, even on the absolute verge of passing out, he refused to lower his head or utter a single word. His chin remained tilted upward, and the faint light left in his eyes burned with an unbreakable, defiant resolve.

Standing a short distance away, The Archmage watched him coldly. He watched the color drain completely from that devastatingly handsome face, watched the extreme tremors of a man holding on by a thread, and watched that stubborn, unbending posture. The rage inside him only grew more volatile.

"You can't handle this, Silas," he sneered, stepping closer, his voice dripping with sadistic coercion. "No one is coming to save you. Your mother sold you out. Your team has no idea where you are. All that pride and justice you're desperately clinging to won't keep you breathing."

"Open your mouth, and you live. Give me your latest protocols! Give me the specs for the Aegis-001 Chip!"
