"And those creatures are no ordinary creatures, you know. The banded kraits would be the mildest ones among them�"

"The� the banded kraits? Aren't they venomous?"

Renee gulped. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps all over.

"They sure are! I hope they won't bite him for no reason, but still� when the water gets hot, who knows where it will go to hide away from the heat? And when the acid is added�"

"Stop it!"

Renee's heart was thumping in her chest like a drum. She wished she could just ignore her conscience and walk away, but her legs were as heavy as lead, and refused to move no matter what.

"Aaaaaaah!!!!"

Just then, Stefan's tormented wail rang out from the water prison.

Immediately following that was the sound of Quinton's roaring laughter.

"Hahahaha, look at you now, Stefan Hunt! I can't believe something like this would ever happen to you. Do you remember how I begged you to let me live all those years ago, and you refused me? Now you get the retribution that you deserve!"

"Don't stop!" He ordered his men. "Keep it going! Keep releasing more things into the water! I want this snob to taste what it's like to suffer a fate worse than death!"

Just then, Stefan's agonizing cry of pain once again rang out.

Chase was in such a panic that he stomped his feet and rushed towards Renee, who still stood coldly and frigidly there, "Ms. Everheart, he really can't hold on for much longer! I hope, and I wish, that you won't regret this!"

"Ugh! So annoying! How can you be such an annoying gnat?!"

After yelling at Chase, she then turned around and returned to the water prison.

As expected, the water had reached Stefan's neck, and snakes and insects could be seen floating and swimming in the water. Stefan seemed to be in excruciating pain. His handsome face, which had originally been fearless and gutsy, was now twisted by agony. It looked like he must have been bitten by the snakes many times now.

"Stop it" Renee shouted. She could not bear it any longer. "Stop releasing more thing into the water!"

"Renee!" Quinton turned around. "What are you doing back here? Are you also here to enjoy the sight?" He then smiled with smug satisfaction at Renee and told her, "I can finally enjoy the sight of this arrogant bastard suffering in such a sorry state! I've been waiting for this moment for so long."

"Quinton," Renee's voice was all choked up, and her eyes were reddening as she pleaded, "I beg of you! You've punished him enough. Let him enough. Let him go!"

"What's wrong with you? You were so firm and decisive just now! Why are you suddenly turning soft for this garbage of a man again..." JrNovels.com
