“Are you not afraid of having such an ugly scar on this beautiful face? How will you use your honey trap in the future?” Jewel asked.
With squinted eyes, Phantom retorted, “I don’t care even if I die, so do you think I would care about having a scar?”
“Is that so?” Jewel asked with a smile, then suddenly stood up and went straight to the kitchen. She says it like she’s fearless, but I don’t believe she’s not afraid of death.
Originally, she wanted to find some chili powder or something similar, but she realized that Phantom didn’t cook at home at all, so she couldn’t find anything. However, she managed. to get a glass of hot water from the water dispenser.
When she walked out with the water, Phantom was frightened. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that it wasn’t meant for drinking.
“Jewel!” she exclaimed in panic.
Yet, Jewel shushed her. ‘If you don’t want to alert the police, keep your voice down. Killing Damian and injuring Alex; any of those charges could land you in prison for more than a decade. It seems like you’ve just gotten out of Double Dragon Court, right? If the police find out that you’re Phantom, the assassin, all the cases of people injured by darts over the past few years will be attributed to you. Do you think you can still be a casino boss?”
Phantom was furious, but she wasn’t a match for Jewel, so she had to swallow her pride and ask, “What do you want?”
“Give me the antidote. Otherwise, I’ll pour this glass of water on your face. It won’t kill you, but it will definitely disfigure you,” Jewel said coldly. Phantom’s eyes flickered, and after a moment, she said, “It’s in a small box under my bed.”
Hearing that, Jewel put down the glass of water and glanced at the tightly bound Phantom before entering her bedroom. She easily found the small box under the bed, as Phantom had said. However, when she opened it, she found several small bottles inside. She had no idea which one was the antidote and which one was the poison.
With a grim face, she held the small box and walked out of the room. “Which one is the antidote?” she asked. After Phantom stole glances at Jewel, she casually pointed at one of the bottles, saying, ‘This one.”
“This one?” Jewel took out a green bottle. Phantom nodded in response. Suddenly, Jewel poured a bit of the powder in the green bottle onto her gloved hand and was about to apply it to the wound on Phantom’s face.
“What are you doing?” Phantom instinctively dodged. With an innocent smile, Jewel looked at her. “I’m helping you detoxify.”
Yet, Phantom evaded her and said, “I don’t need your help. Take your antidote and leave.” At this moment, Jewel sneered. “Are you stupid, or do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I’ll use whatever you give me? Never mind if you don’t tell me. I’ll try each one of them on you. If you’re not afraid of death, then keep talking nonsense.”
Having said that, she directly applied the powder to Phantom’s injured face. No matter how hard Phantom tried to dodge, she couldn’t avoid it. Suddenly, fear overcame her. This isn’t the antidote at all but another type of poison, and now this damn woman is actually applying it to my face. I’ve never tried combining these two poisons. I have no idea what will happen, but one thing is certain-the outcome won’t be pleasant.
She could already feel the burning sensation on her injured face, and it was so painful that she could barely resist the urge to touch it with her hands. However, her hands were still bound.
On the other hand, Jewel wasn’t in a hurry anymore. She sat on the floor, examining the bottles in the box. There were no labels, which meant that only Phantom knew which one was the antidote and which one was the poison. It’s fine. If she doesn’t want to tell me. I can just try them on her.
“Is it this one?” she asked as she picked up a red bottle. Phantom glanced at it from the ground. “Yes, that’s the one. Take it and go.”
However, Jewel snorted. “You have such low credibility. How do I know if you’re telling the truth? Maybe I should try it on you first.”
