Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 266

The living room was pitch black and devoid of people. Gavin widened the gap in the door until he finally saw a faint light emanating from the bedroom. The people inside were completely unaware of the activity outside.

Gavin and Yolanda held their breath, listening intently to the sounds from within.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Someone with a raspy voice was interrogating Blake.

"Based on the number of bodyguards Zach had, there was no way he could have escaped successfully. Who helped him?"

"Was it you who acted as a messenger to inform that Crimson Crew wanted to kill Zach?"

"Did the Scarlet Alliance get involved? Did Vic know about it?"

Gavin and Yolanda moved closer to the bedroom. By the dim light of the table lamp, they saw a strangely dressed woman wearing a veil and an old woman with a hunched back standing before Blake.

Blake was covered in blood. He was severely injured and gasping for breath while half-kneeling on the floor. Despite his condition, he still refused to answer their questions.

"Heh! Don't think that keeping your mouth shut will get you out of this." The old woman with a hunched back pulled out a small bottle from the pocket of her robe.

"This is a poison I concocted myself. If you take it, you won't die immediately. But your whole body will convulse every hour, and you'll foam at the mouth. After a day, your skin will start to rot. Eventually, you'll bleed from all seven orifices and die in agony," said the old woman.

Blake's expression changed slightly, but he maintained his defiant attitude. "Kill me if you dare!"

"Killing you outright would be far too boring." The strangely dressed woman extended her pale, slender fingers. The sharp nails on her fingertips glinted with a faint green glow.
