Chapter 166 Avenge Camila
A frosty glint flashed in Lucy’s eyes, sharp and unyielding. She turned decisively and walked into the interne od now the bar
The cafe was dimly lit, its yellowish glow barely illuminating the rows of computers Screens flickered, casting shidong shadows across the room. Lucy scanned the area, found an empty computer, and sat down her fingers fee whe keyboard, swift and precise.
Lines of code streamed down the screen like a digital waterfall. The monitors bluish light refertet off her fore emphasizing her cold and resolute expression.
Moments later, she stopped typing. Every surveillance camera within a half mile radius had been disabled–ther orgnals scrambled, their footage frozen on a single frame, as if time itself had been suspended
The code she had entered was programmed to erase itself in an hour, and then the cameras would be restored to nom That gave her all the time she needed to execute her plan
Lucy stood up and left the internet café without a second glance.
Enoch and Abigail quickly got into their car. The engine started, and they sped off into the night. The woman stood an at the bar entrance, her face glowing with excitement and satisfaction.
Her manic laughter pierced the stillness of the night, sharp and jarring.
Lucy narrowed her eyes, her gaze icy as she studied the woman reveling in her newfound wealth,
“Who would’ve thought? Just roughing up some useless woman in prison could bring in this kind of cash. Way faster than running a business!
“Back when I was working, I couldn’t even make 300 thousand dollars a month. And I’d have to scrimp and save for at least ten years to get 300 thousand. Five years in prison, and I’ve got it all at once,” the woman muttered, smirking
The more she talked, the happier she got. Her smile turned ugly. “It’s a shame that useless woman got out of jail before me I could’ve done something to get myself locked up again, beaten her more, and probably taken more money from the Connor family.
“Still, this three hundred thousand will last me a good while. And when it’s gone, I’ll just go back to the Connor family and bleed them dry again.”
“You seem awfully proud of yourself,” Lucy suddenly said, her voice low and carrying a chilling weight.
The woman jumped at the unexpected voice behind her, her laughter cutting off abruptly. She spun around, her eyes wary as she glared at Lucy. “What the hell? You scared the crap out of me! Are you looking to die?”
Lucy stared at her coldly, her gaze devoid of fear, as if she were watching a clown perform a pitiful act.
The woman squirmed under Lucy’s unrelenting stare, growing increasingly agitated. She widened her eyes and barked,” What the hell are you looking at? Keep staring, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
Suddenly, a wide smile spread across Lucy’s face. In the dim light, that smile appeared disturbingly eerie, sending a chill down the woman’s spine.
The woman had never come across someone like Lucy before. She was a troublemaker even before landing in prison, and once inside, she became even more brazen, earning herself a reputation as a notorious hothead.
She was used to people shrinking away from her. No one had ever dared to look her straight in the eye, let alone speak to her like that.
“You must have a death wish,” the woman snarled, her face contorted with fury. She raised her hand, aiming to slap Lucy with such force that it seemed she wanted to smash Lucy’s face to pieces.
But Lucy didn’t budge, her eyes glinting with mockery. Just as the woman’s hand was about to land, Lucy wnipped out a knife from her pocket, the blade’s tip aligning perfectly with the woman’s palm.
The knife drove straight through her palm, and blood gushed out in a crimson flood. The woman let out a gut–wrenching
scream.
Her shrill cries echoed, and the arrogance she had worn like armor vanished without a trace.
Lucy watched her with a faint smirk, twirling the butterfly knife. The blade twisted inside the woman’s palm, eliciting even louder, more agonized screams.
The pain was so unbearable that the woman co

Gy trembling uncontrollably.
Lucy bent down slowly, leaning close to the woman’s face. “Feels good to hit people, doesn’t it?”
The woman’s face turned ghostly pale, her eyes brimming with terror as she shook her head frantically. “Please, let me go. I was wrong…”

Lucy blinked, her innocence masking chilling malice. “Let you go? Why would I do that? When you were beating others in prison, did you ever let them go?
“And now you want me to spare you? That’s pretty unfair, don’t you think?
Lucy yanked the knife out in one swift motion, causing blood to spurt violently The woman’s body trembled, and she was on the edge of unconsciousness.
Lucy grabbed the woman by her hair and dragged her step by step into the pitch black alley nearby
The woman trembled like a leaf, her eyes filled with terror. All the smugness and arrogance she had shown earlier had completely disappeared
It turned out she could feel fear after all. Not long ago, she had been bragging about how she tormented Camila in prison
Now, the tables had turned. She was no longer the hunter but the prey, and her so–called backbone had crumbled into nothing
Lucy sneered, her lips curling in disdain. I thought she was something special. Turns out, she’s just another coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong, she sneered inwardly.
The woman sobbed, her voice trembling. “Wh–What do you want from me?”
Lucy tilted her head, her tone light and almost playful. “Oh, nothing much. Just your eyes, your tongue, your ears, and your tendons. That’s all.”
With every word Lucy spoke, the woman shook her head frantically. “No! I don’t want that! I didn’t do anything to you. Why are you doing this to me?”
Lucy raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Why do I need a reason to do this to you?”
“Please, I’m begging you. Let me go. I’ll give you money…” the woman pleaded.
Lucy burst into laughter, sharp and mocking. “Money? I don’t need your money. All I want is to see you broken.”
The woman collapsed to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably. Tears and snot streamed down her face as she wailed, “I was wrong! I swear I was wrong! Please, don’t do this!”
