Chapter 547: Chapter 547
Fifteen minutes ago, in the room.
After sending the message, the two men eyed Eleanor Sterling with a hint of malice.
This Eastern woman was really beautiful.
The employer didn’t say they couldn’t touch her. Since they had already kidnapped her, they weren’t afraid to do a little more.
Thinking this, both men wore a malicious smile and walked towards Eleanor.
"Do you want to go first, or should I?"
"I’ll go first. It was your turn last time, so it’s mine now."
"Alright, you go ahead."
After speaking, they reached out their hands towards Eleanor’s chest, intending to unbutton her shirt.
Unexpectedly, before they could touch Eleanor, they felt a sharp pain.
Several fine silver needles, thin as hair, were pierced into their hands, their ends trembling slightly, making one’s scalp tingle.
Gradually, the two men felt numbness creeping through their bodies. They tried to raise their other hands but were astonished to find they couldn’t perform such a simple action.
Eleanor stood up with a cold sneer, mocking them in Lyran, "Is it fun?"
The two men looked at Eleanor in horror, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... you can speak Lyran?"
They were shocked and scared, staring blankly at Eleanor, eyes full of incredulity.
Looking at them, Eleanor said, "You should know that Celestian acupuncture is very powerful. I’ve already pierced your vital points. If you don’t want to die, you’d better confess honestly."
Upon hearing Eleanor’s words, a trace of fear appeared in their eyes. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⦿fire.net
The mysterious Eastern acupuncture was something they had heard of but never experienced firsthand.
Now, with just a few small needles in their hands, they couldn’t move, and they began to believe what Eleanor said.
One man, trembling, started to plead, "Ma’am, we’re just taking money from someone. If you want to punish someone, it should be that person."
They dared not mention the malicious thoughts they had for Eleanor earlier, fearing that she might kill them in a fit of displeasure.
Eleanor eyed them with a leisurely demeanor, "Speak."
"We’ll talk. Will you let us go after that?"
"Depends on my mood," Eleanor sneered, "Maybe if I’m happy, I’ll spare you, but if you choose to keep silent, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
The two men exchanged a glance, seemingly hesitating whether to expose the mastermind.
Seeing this, Eleanor curved her lips into a half-smile.
"Are you feeling short of breath? Legs starting to go numb?"
Upon hearing this, the two focused on their sensations and indeed felt difficulty breathing, their legs tingling with numbness.
Seeing their fearful expressions, Eleanor smiled slyly.
They had been in this position for so long that their legs naturally went numb.
As for the breathing difficulty, it was purely psychological—under extreme fear, they believed they were struggling to breathe, and so it became progressively harder.
She hadn’t expected these strong-bodied men to have such simple minds that they could be fooled with just a couple of words.
Almost to tears, they were genuinely terrified and pleaded continuously, "Ma’am, we’ll tell you, please let us go."
"Speak. My patience is limited."
"It was...it was an Eastern woman who paid us a sum to kidnap you, then use your phone to send messages to a designated number."
Eleanor walked over, picked up her phone, and opened the sent message page.
Sure enough, she found the message sent to Alaric Faulkner.
This person went to great lengths, using her name to do this and attract Alaric over, definitely intending to do something evil.
She put the phone away and headed straight for the top floor.
The two kidnappers still couldn’t move, watching Eleanor’s departing figure and crying out, "Ma’am, let us go, let us leave!"
Eleanor didn’t look back, leaving them there, weeping and helpless.
