The man grunted. He said nothing but turned his head to look at Sophia. His eyes were bloodshot as cold sweat trickled down his forehead, but his expression still showed his stubbornness.
Sophia chuckled. Her voice was crisp as she said, “The way you behave makes me itch to hurt you.”
With that, she plunged the dagger downward and made another clean cut into his other arm.
This time, the man didn’t manage to hold back a howl.
Fabian clapped hard for Sophia, saying, “Amazing. I’ve really underestimated you. I think you can match up to me in this area.”
He thought he himself was quite capable of torturing others, but now that he was looking at Sophia, he felt that they were well-matched.
This time, Sophia did not wipe the blood off the dagger. Instead, she lowered her head to look at the man’s legs. Then, she aimed the tip of the dagger at the man’s thigh. “The next one will be at this spot, okay?”
The man yelled, but before he could say anything, Sophia struck a third time.
The man’s anguished scream was similar to a pig being butchered.
John stood up to take the dagger from Sophia. “Check and see if the blood has stained your clothes.”
Retreating back a step, Sophia immediately replied, “I’ve checked already. I’m fine.”
The man tied to the chair started whining incessantly.
Staring at him, John then said, “This should be enough. He’ll probably spit it out later.”
Fabian burst out laughing. “This guy suffered all those beatings for nothing. Everything would’ve been fine if he had talked earlier.”
Sophia looked around, then she found a chair slightly further away and sat down. Then, she blinked in a bid to look innocent despite her earlier actions.
