Upon hearing Old Bray’s provocation, Hassan cruelly curled his lips. “Why are you in such a hurry? We’ve only just begun, this is just the appetizer.”
The results of a year of careful preparation had finally come to the time of inspection.
Hassan had somehow found a tambourine from somewhere, and as he shook the tambourine, the sound waves controlled the centipede inside Bray’s stomach.
Old Bray’s face, already wrinkled, crumpled into what looked like a piece of paper as he clenched his teeth in pain. Sweat dripped from him like a stream, and soon he began to foam at the mouth.
“Old Bray, hang in there!” Cheyenne was extremely worried, but as she took a step forward, Kelvin stopped her. “Cheyenne, you can’t intervene. If you do, it means Old Bray has lost the match.”
In that case, only Hayden would be pleased. “But…” How could she bear to watch the white-haired Old Bray suffer like this? He used to live a carefree retirement life.
Old Bray, on the brink of consciousness, exerted all his strength to barely crawl up from the ground upon hearing Kelvin’s words. His weak voice said to Cheyenne, “Cheyenne, don’t… don’t worry about me. Kelvin is right, I can’t lose!” Even if he were to lose, he couldn’t lose to someone like this!
“Old Bray, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault that you ended up like this.” Cheyenne felt a surge of emotions and tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. It was because she had asked Old Bray for help that he was in this hellish situation.
Upon hearing this, Old Bray smiled indifferently. “If this matter is left unresolved, I would have regrets even if I die. It’s fine like this.” At least he knew the truth about Jude’s death; at least he could personally punish the traitor. He had no regrets about this journey, and he bore no grudge against Cheyenne.
“Old Bray, you must hang in there, regardless of the outcome… I just hope you’ll be safe.” She didn’t want to see any more sacrifices; Maxim was dead, and she had let Mike down. If something were to happen to Old Bray, how would she face Paisley?
“I know, Cheyenne, don’t worry.”
At the same time, Hassan’s body also reacted unfavorably. After taking the pill Old Bray gave him, he felt a burning sensation all over his body.
It felt as if he was being roasted over a fire, heating his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Not only that, the itching sensation emanating from his bones made him subconsciously scratch himself.
With just a light scratch, a piece of skin was torn off, and blood flowed.
However, he seemed unaware of the pain and unconsciously tore off half of his face.
Blood and flesh were mingled in a horrifying sight. Hayden was frightened and quickly ordered them to be locked up in the dungeon.
“Mr. Lara, believe me, I will definitely win.” Before leaving, Hassan, unaware of his current grotesque appearance, confidently declared that he would emerge victorious.
Cheyenne, on the other hand, stared at the skin that had fallen to the ground, unable to snap out of it. “It really is the Nine Nights Corpse-Scented Konjak Flower.”
Unexpectedly, besides attracting killer bees, this thing could also kill people. No wonder Old Bray, despite being on the verge of death, did not leave that flower behind to run away.
Kelvin saw his wife standing still for a long time and thought she was still shocked by the scene just now.
He walked over and held her hand from behind. “Cheyenne, are you okay?”
Upon hearing his comforting words, Cheyenne regained her senses and shook her head.
“I’m fine, and I hope to hear good news from Old Bray in three days.”
“Okay.”
Hayden turned around and happened to see the sweet scene of the two holding hands, feeling both disdainful and jealous in his heart.
In his life, there were countless women around him, but none of them could make his heart flutter.
Whether it was Emily, Juliana, or even the proud Miss Elsa, they were all just stepping stones for him to gain power and wealth. And those women were also attracted to his status and wealth.
Love is a ridiculous thing, he used to disdain it, and still does. But he was curious about what charm Cheyenne had that made his foolish younger brother Omari willing to give up his inheritance and offend the Lara family to protect her.
And Iker, such a ruthless person, became gentle in front of Cheyenne.
Not to mention Kelvin, who would rather die than let anything happen to her.
“Mrs. Foley, you have three days left. You should take some rest.”
“And think about the second bet, you can propose the conditions and contents.”
Cheyenne raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Really?”
“Of course, I keep my word. Take number 07 down and keep a close watch on him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, four big men came forward and dragged the iron cage away.
Cheyenne looked at Omari sleeping in the cage and felt a pang in her heart.
Had he really lost consciousness completely?
But Omari seemed completely oblivious, curled up and sleeping peacefully in the cage.
At that moment, she had already made up her mind about the second bet.
During these three days, Hayden finally sent some regular food – sour bread.
At least it was better than the disgusting boxed meals from the previous days.
Cheyenne no longer cared about whether it was delicious or not, she mechanically chewed on the bread, enduring the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
Kelvin knew she wouldn’t be used to this kind of food, he didn’t like it either.
But in order to survive and get out of there, they had to endure.
Thinking about this, he left half of his bread and handed it to Cheyenne.
“Cheyenne, have some.”
Cheyenne looked at the bread he handed her, bit her lip, and glanced at him.
“No need, you eat it, I’m already seven-tenths full.”
He was a man, how could half a bread be enough for a meal?
But Kelvin forcefully stuffed the food into her mouth.
“You’re about to have your period, although this isn’t good, it’s better than starving.”
“It’s all my fault, I couldn’t save you and we’re stuck in this place suffering; Cheyenne, will you blame me?”
Her period…
Cheyenne almost forgot about it, she didn’t expect him to remember such a trivial matter.
“I won’t blame you, don’t worry… Hayden won’t kill us, at least not now.”
Although Hayden was the young master of the Lara family, he didn’t have a military background.
The modified people here were probably from another force.
The only one she could think of in Chulae was the Weaver family.
Cheyenne guessed right once again, the person colluding with Hayden was Jaelynn.
Because she soon saw this person.
Not only that, but Elsa, who had previously fled abroad, also appeared in front of them.
“Miss Lawrence, long time no see, I didn’t expect you to be in such a miserable state.”
