Chapter 282
Chapter 282
In the room, Yvette opened her eyes wide abruptly.
She jumped off from the sofa and found that she was not dead.
She looked down the incision made on her wrist.
Yvette remembered clearly that she took a breath of the poisonous gas as she couldn't hold her breath any longer. Within seconds, her mind went blank and she had lost her consciousness.
She didn't expect that Karen did not even take a breath from the moment she entered the room. Karen claimed that she could hold her breath for half an hour. Was that even possible?
Yvette knew a foreigner who could hold his breath for twenty-three minutes under the water from one of the news she read in the past. That man was a world's record holder. Did that mean Karen was better than him?
She could not believe it. Karen's ability had gone beyond Yvette's imagination.
Yvette shook her head to stop herself from thinking about it. Glancing around, she found no one in her sight. She searched the room thoroughly but there was no sign of Chuck being locked up here. Devastated, she mumbled, "Hubby, where are you?"
......
Chuck was in the room, the floor was wet and the air was moist. He was thinking of a way out. Levi had left the room. He must seize this opportunity to escape from here.
However, he didn't have any prior experience in breaking out of a confined place. How could he leave this place? Both his hands were shackled. His heart was consumed with anxiety. He attempted to get on his feet but the pain on his body was too excruciating to be ignored.
Chuck wiggled to the side before the door was pushed open. Levi was back. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He had a cell phone on his hand. On the screen was a blinking red dot, denoting Yvette's current location. Levi had also installed a sensor in Yvette's body to pick up her heart rate. The flashing red dot suggested that Yvette was still alive.
"Sure enough, you dare not harm her. I know you've discovered my plan since it's been a while and Yvette is not back yet. But, I am not afraid of you, now that your beloved son is in my hand!" He said to himself.
Every muscle on Levi's face tightened, his eyes narrowed with bloodlust in them. Without warning, Levi threw another kick at Chuck's chest forcefully. Chuck felt that a few of his ribs had fractured. He coughed violently as blood spat out from the corner of his mouth.
Holding in the pain, Chuck glowered at him, his eyes getting colder.
Levi went towards him and whispered, "For your information, I've already sent someone you will never expect to kill Karen."
"Don't you dare lay a finger on my mother!" Chuck was fuming with anger, the cracking sound of the shackles on his wrist reverberated around the room.
"Stop dreaming, young man! Even if your mother is the one who is chained up here, she won't be able to break free of it, let alone you!" Levi sneered, "Aren't you interested to know who this person is? A person whom you'll never think of."
"If you kill my mother, I will slaughter your entire family!" Rage flowed through Chuck like lava.
Karen was the person whom Chuck cared for the most. Without Karen, Chuck was nothing but an insignificant presence in this world, not to mention all the money and wealth Chuck now possessed.
"Slaughter my entire family? You can barely save yourself now! Although the person I sent to her has failed, with you in my hands, Karen will definitely come to me." With a smirk on his face, Levi turned on his phone and started recording a video.
"Karen needs to see how happy his son is to be in my hands! Haha!" Levi laughed and punched Chuck in the face.
Chuck had just started training. There was no way he could withstand the abuse. He coughed out another bout of blood and passed out.
"What a piece of trash! You can't even take a punch! What a useless son Karen has!"
Levi grabbed a glass of cold water and splashed on Chuck. The icy-cold water woke him up right away.
"C'mon. I haven't had enough fun yet. Look at the camera! Show your mother how much you enjoy it!" Levi burst out laughing after he spoke. The pleasure of revenge thrilled him.
Since Yvette didn't succeed to assassinate Karen, he had to find another way. He planned to send this video clip to Karen to infuriate and lure her here. Then, he would make sure that Karen would never have a chance to leave this room alive.
This method did carry a certain amount of risks. After all, Karen managed to survive till this day despite crossing paths with death so many times. Levi must be extra cautious.
Slap!
Levi slapped Chuck in the face. With the corner of his eyes, Chuck scowled at Levi, his lips tightly sealed, his face numbed with tingling pain.
Levi muttered with malicious glee, "Don't worry. Karen will come over to accompany you soon after I send her this video clip. I will be sure to entertain her myself!"
Chuck was anxious. Karen would no doubt come after him if she watched this clip. No, he could not put his mother in danger!
Chuck didn't want to bring Karen into this mess as a result of his impetuous act. He lost his rationality as soon as he saw Yvette in the photo a while ago. He was probably able to break out of here if he had learned some skills in escaping.
He should not drag Karen in this. After all, this was his own mistake.
The chair wobbled as Chuck moved towards Levi with much difficulty. However, he was tipped over along with the chair by Levi's forceful kick. Now that the chair was overturned, Chuck could not even stand up.
"Karen, I can't wait to meet you!" The corners of Levi's lips curled into a loathsome grin. His finger was only an inch away from the send button before the alarm rang. He frowned because that alarm indicated that someone had broken in.
"It's impossible. There's no way she can find this place within such a short time. This is impossible!" Levi's heart was racing, but soon the panic on his face was replaced with a sneer. He muttered, "It's okay. Now that you're here, we can start the show now."
He shouted into his walkie-talkie, "Listen up! Bring me the person who broke in—"
Crack!
Levi frowned. It was the sound of a person whose neck was being snapped coming from the other side. He uttered with a scowl, "Hmm, that was fast."
Anxiousness grew in Chuck like a tide. Was Karen here? He could tell that he was taken to a place not too far away from the training ground. With Karen's ability, it was just a matter of time before she identified Levi's hideout.
Although this would definitely break Yvette's heart, Chuck was willing to end his own life if Levi was going to threaten Karen using him as the negotiating chip.
"Listen up, everyone. Bring the—"
Crack!
Crack!
Levi's expression changed at once as he heard the sound of his men's necks being broken, one by one, through the walkie-talkie. He turned and glimpsed at Chuck.
In the darkness, one of Levi's men was guarding the door vigilantly before a shadow appeared and snapped his neck. The woman then continued to venture further into the endless darkness.
She was agile and graceful in her movements. She murdered every watchman silently, one after another, leaving them no room to resist or struggle. Soon, her eyes were fixed on a door. Her experiences told her she was in the right place.
"Chuck, I never expected that Karen would be here so quickly!" Levi said as he grabbed Chuck who was lying on the ground by his collar and dragged him to the side. He took out a specially made chain and tied his shackle to the wall.
Chuck tussled, trying to get rid of Levi and the shackle on his wrists but to avail.
"Don't worry. Just like me, Karen also owns a technology company in the United States. She'll be able to tell that this chain is forged with a newly identified element on earth, which is both fire and
waterproof. Each string of it is capable of pulling a train with ten wagons. No one can open it without a key." Levi burst into laughter at his seemingly flawless plan. He did not bring the key with him and it was impossible to get a train in this mountainous place. Chuck was destined to rot and die here.
It did not take long before Chuck discovered his plan. He hissed without any fear in his eyes, "What do you want?"
"I want Karen dead. She killed three of my sons. I guess it's not too much for me to kill her and you. She would practically be stepping into hell once she's in this room. Don't worry. We are not done yet," Levi sneered and took another item out of his bag.
He was very confident that he could kill Karen this time. An opportunity like this did not always knock on the door.
He must succeed!
He attached a time bomb on Chuck. A press on the remote control in his hand would send both Karen and Chuck to the afterlife. This was his trump card.
He couldn't wait any longer. Once Karen was here, he must first torture her. After all, he would not be able to do so again in the future.
Levi's lips turned into a menacing sneer. Bam!
Levi heard the sound of a man falling onto the ground. He then bellowed angrily, "You definitely live up to your name, Karen Lee. You're even faster than the royal forces. Forget it. This door is made up of special metals. You won't be able to break through it without a key. I guess I need to help you to get the door."
Levi walked over and opened the door. He was greeted by a pair of frigid eyes, glimmering a desire of bloodlust in the darkness.
"Hmph, c'mon! He's been waiting for you," Levi said as he went towards Chuck and grappled around his throat. The person outside entered the room slowly.
Levi looked at her and asked, frowning, "How come it's you?"
Stupefied, Chuck stammered as he looked at the person, "Auntie Logan..."
