Kurt was taken aback.
For the past few days, he had been wildly passionate with Blaze and left his mark all over her.
If this woman in his arms was truly Blaze, then there must be many marks on her body.
“I will go ahead and look. Do you think I'm scared of you? I'd like to see what tricks you can pull...”
His words abruptly ended as he pulled open the clothing on the woman's shoulder. What he saw was a stretch of fair skin without any trace or mark.
What?
How could this be possible?
He had clearly left many marks on her. Why have they all disappeared now?
“Tell me. Who are you?”
With a forceful grip, Kurt clutched the woman's neck in his hands. His crimson eyes bore into her with such intensity. It was as if he wished to devour her alive.
Bailey kindly explained, “You fell into a trap in the Venom Valley. Now that we've broken into the castle to rescue Blaze, who do you think this woman could be?”
Kurt was not stupid. He understood immediately.
“Cersei, you wretch... Tell me. Why did you betray me? What's in it for you?”
With his hands around her neck, Cersei was unable to utter a single word. Tears fell from her eyes like beads from a broken string, and they poured down ceaselessly.
With a smile, Bailey said, “Actually, there's no real benefit for her. It's just that Ms. White was too lonely, so we arranged a man for her. The two of them spent the night together, and then she willingly started working for us. The process was really quite simple. Thanks to Ms. White's assistance, we are able to capture all of you so easily today.”
Kurt was seething with anger. The veins on his arm were bulging prominently. The strength in his fingers increased manifold.
The very next moment, a grating crackle echoed through the air.
He, astonishingly, snapped Cersei's neck.
Such a ruthless man.
After all, she was his half-sister from the same father. Yet, he did not even blink an eye as he killed her.
Cersei breathed her last, but her eyes refused to close. Her eyes remained wide open in disbelief.
Kurt tossed her aside as if discarding the trash. He then turned his cold gaze toward Bailey. “You're good. All of you are d*mn good.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the few remaining subordinates around him and ordered, “Break out! Cover me as I escape.”
“Escape?” Blaze let out a cold laugh. Her eyes, which were full of hatred, fell on him as if she wanted to turn him into ashes.
“I've gritted my teeth and endured humiliation up until now, not because I fear death, but because I want to personally exact my own revenge. Kurt, today you've fallen into my hands. All the torment I've endured in the past, I will repay you in full, with interest.”
Kurt was frightened by the intense hatred in her eyes.
He knew that once he fell into the hands of this madwoman, he would be doomed eternally.
No, perhaps even death would be a luxury.
She would make him yearn for life yet unable to seek death. He would be constantly living in the torment of pain.
She would not stop until the last glimmer within his body was squeezed out before casting him into the abyss, never to be reborn for all eternity.
He became afraid.
As a poison-crafting expert, he was usually the one others feared.
But now... he was fearful of this person to his very core.
Blaze looked into his eyes, which were filled with intense fear, and gave a cold smile. With a swift movement, she had already cornered him.
By the time Kurt realized and wanted to fight back, it was already too late.
Waves of pungent odors assaulted his senses. His eyes throbbed with sharp pain, and it plunged his entire world into darkness.
“Ah, my eyes, I...”
