On the other side… In a unfinished building on the southern outskirts of the city… Trevor put the black butterfly mask back on Nancy’s face and said coldly to the Chanaean men and the foreign henchmen, “All of you, scram.” They wanted the mastermind’s life, so they could not call the police. They had to let those bastards off easy. When the henchmen and the man holding Old Mr. Parks heard this, they immediately fled in all directions. They ran so fast that the unfinished building’s floorboard was shaking. It even made banging sounds. Layla, too, ran away in fear. When Nancy roughly put the mask back on her face, an ominous feeling overwhelmed her heart. She forced herself to be calm. “Trevor, what are you trying to do?” Trevor said nothing. He was biding his time.
He estimated that in two minutes, those bastards should have run far away. He would take action then. Trevor did not say anything. Nancy panicked even more. Not only did she panic, but she was also angry. “Trevor, we’re disciples under the same mentor. How will you explain to our mentor why you attacked me?” Suddenly, Trevor asked faintly, “Did you tell them to capture Layla?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Nancy played dumb. She could tell that Trevor liked Annalise.
Huh, she thought. That slut, Annalise, was indeed impressive. Was she a seductress? She was so good at seducing men. “Why did you kidnap Old Mr. Parks?” Trevor asked again. Nancy’s eyes flickered as she said, “That was my fault. I’m willing to accept any lawful punishment.” As long as Julian did not choose to punish her himself, she would get a lawyer to ask Old Mr. Parks for a letter of understanding. “Are you worthy of it?” Trevor looked up at Nancy coldly. He had watched Nancy’s boxing video many times. She was brilliant at boxing, especially her stance and leg techniques. She was quick yet powerful.
In the words of their mentor, Nancy had achieved toughness while remaining supple. Every movement she made was perfectly balanced. She was a true boxing genius. He had once imagined what kind of person Nancy would be in real life. He did not expect her to be someone like this. “Trevor, I’ve made a mistake. I apologize. Otherwise, you can beat me up and vent your anger. I promise I won’t fight back,” said Nancy. She was looking for an opportunity to escape. “You know that our senior is Julian. You like him, don’t you?” Trevor exposed Nancy’s feelings.
Trevor had never thought that the Zeller family’s daughter, Nancy, would have any involvement with Julian. But today, he found out that Nancy was his senior, and he instantly understood everything. Nancy’s eyes flickered. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Trevor said coldly, “You schemed against the Caretech Pharmaceutical Company, kidnapped Old Mr. Parks, got someone to pretend to be Julian’s savior, and sowed discord between Julian and his wife. What could be the reason, if not because you liked him? Tell me, how did you know about the orchid fingers acupuncture technique?’
