Penny snapped at her insults towards Nathan. “How dare you berate him! He's not useless; he is a hero. Without his effort, you won't be living in peace right now. Yes, he's no longer the commander, but he still deserves all the respect he can get.”
Shae had not expected Penny to rebuke her with such righteousness.
She could not deny her words. What Penny said was true. Shae's ears turned red with humiliation.
She had to grab the upper hand back. “You're in my territory now. Looks like you've forgotten that your life is in my hands. One word from me and you can say goodbye to this world.”
Penny did her best to put up a front. “As I've said, let me go or you'll regret this. Nathan will never forgive you.” “Want me to let you go? Sure, I can consider it. Only if I'm satisfied with your answer.”
As if I would. Once I've forced the answer out of you, prepare to say goodbye to this world.
Dumbfounded, Penny asked, “What do you want to know?”
