Chapter 505
Henderson was taken aback by the question.
He did indeed think she was easy to deal with. Why else would he dare to make a move on her?
Although she was known as the Miraculous Doctor, she still had to surrender in the face of absolute force, right?
That's why he dared to do it!
When he learned that Draxton Lockwood had gone to Southeast Aelinne, he immediately began to plan how to deal with Isabella.
After Draxton shot him, Henderson could not retaliate against Draxton for the time being. Naturally, Isabella Thompson was next on his hit list.
He was even aware that Isabella was Butterfly. Before, even the most formidable assassin would be no match for her. But now that she was pregnant and her strength had significantly diminished, he was completely confident that he could take her down.
But...
How could he forget that Isabella was skilled in bug poison crafting?
No, even if he had remembered, he never would have imagined that Isabella would put up such a big fight!
Henderson was filled with regret, and now the only thing he could do was beg for mercy.
These bugs were so damn scary.
He swore that as long as he could survive today, he would never provoke Isabella Thompson again in his life. He would even go out of his way to avoid her if they crossed paths!
Heck, he would just avoid all bugs from now on!
Henderson had always thought of himself as a tough guy. He believed that even if someone held a knife to him and threatened to chop him to pieces, he would not flinch an inch.
However, in the face of so many insects, he melted down!
He really broke down.
Because he started crying.
Isabella looked at him in surprise. For a moment, she could not say anything threatening.
She scratched her head in dissatisfaction. "Why are you crying? Do you feel ashamed?"
Henderson trembled uncontrollably while staring at her in horror. He stammered, "Yes, yes, I am an embarrassment. I know I was wrong, Miss Thompson. Please make them all go away!”
Isabella Thompson looked around at the swarm of insects and said, "What's the rush?"
"D-do you have anything else you need? Just name it, and I'll do my best!' He stuttered amidst the chattering of his teeth.
Isabella ignored him and looked for Yvette Barker and Isaac Taylor in the crowd.
Despite being surrounded by a swarm of insects, there were no bugs within two feet of them. They remained safe and untouched.
That is why Yvette held back from freaking out although the scene in front of her was just terrifying.
She also managed to stay calm especially after learning that these bugs belonged to Isabella.
Isaac initially felt chills down his spine. But gradually, after witnessing Henderson's miserable state, he felt self-assured and regained some confidence.
Isabella ordered the bodyguards behind, "Take them to the car and send them to the hospital."
The bodyguards behind Stanton Barker froze in fear upon receiving the order as they stared at the sea of bugs on the ground.
They all appeared stunned and avoided all eye contact as if they had not heard anything.
Isabella saw this absurd scene and laughed. "I know you heard me. Stop pretending."
Finally, one of the bodyguards carefully lifted his foot and said with a trembling voice, "We... We can't move..."
' You wouldn't know if you can move until you try to move!" Isabella said helplessly.
The bodyguard turned his face away, looking confused and kept up his clueless pretence.
Upon hearing this, Henderson immediately held his breath nervously and stared at Isabella Thompson with wide eyes, afraid to miss any of her reactions.
With a slight squint, Isabella suddenly burst into a gentle laugh and said, "Actually, I don't want to kill anyone either!"
Henderson didn't know whether to heave a sigh of relief or to expect the worst.
Isabella opened her palm, and a small red object lay in the centre of her palm.
She approached Henderson and said, "Henderson Lockwood, if you don't want the bugs to burrow under your skin and devour everything within you, swallow this."
Henderson looked at what she was holding. A tiny red creature suddenly wriggled and stretched out two little horns. That sight made him uneasy and unwell.
Isabella smirked and pushed the bug toward him.
