Mike’s heart raced, and his stomach turned. However, Rhea gave no response to the “boss’s” face and instead cocked her head to admire it. She loosened her grip after a while, and the “boss” simply slid back onto the chair.
Rhea took a wet wipe to clean her fingers, then drawled, “What do you think of my bargaining chip?”
“Bargaining chip?” Stunned, Mike looked over his shoulder at her and caught on after two seconds. “You’re saying he’s your bargaining chip?”
He pointed toward the man.
‘Yes, he used to be somebody but not anymore. Why would Rhea treat him as her bargaining chip?’
“Didn’t you say the organization abandoned him, and he now means nothing to them?” Mike took a deep breath to calm himself down, disgusted by what he saw. When he first saw what the boss looked like, he felt appalled but not as revolted as he was now.
The scary and dirty face had a few more bloody wounds, making it look even more unnerving and disgusting. However, the young and beautiful Rhea calmly admired the face fearlessly. Such a sight was unsettling and eerie to Mike.
He suddenly realized something and asked, “Did you do something to him?”
Rhea smiled smugly. “You’re not as dumb as I thought, huh? Look at his face. Isn’t he uglier now? It’ll worsen because all his skin will soon rot and fall off…”
