When Lily woke up again, she was already inside a room, wrists bounded by cuffs. She furrowed her brows and looked at the small room just about five meters squared with nothing but the chair that she was using and the dusty walls that surrounded her. On top of her was a yellowish bulb. She eyed the iron door in front of her before lowering her head to check if her necklace was still with her. Then a sigh of relief escaped her lips.
However, this relief didn't last long when two men suddenly walked inside the room, and unceremoniously grabbed her arm. She flinched from the pain of her hand but said nothing. Lily chose to stay quiet as the two started pushing her, forcing her to walk out of the room. Lily complied.
Without saying anything, the two men who were about a foot taller than her escorted her out of the underground prison that she was in. Along the way, Lily saw a line of doors just like the one that was in the room she was previously in. She couldn't help but wonder if this is a place where Kuznetsov tortured his prisoners. After a few minutes, they finally left the underground prison and walked towards the first floor of what seemed like a mansion. The two then led her to the second floor of the house into the study of Kuznetsov.
"Treat her hand." Kuznetsov's face was dark. As he instructed his people to remove Lily's handcuff and immediately bandaged her wound. "I was not expecting Victor to be this harsh." He said while looking at Lily's pale face. "He hated your grandmother. It is normal for him to hate you too." Unable to stop himself, Kuznetsov clicked his tongue while looking at Lily's state.
An unyielding woman who had nothing is the worse person that they could torture. At first, he actually thought that they would succeed. So, he instructed Victor to take her while he takes care of things with the Order. After all, he couldn't just disappear and not tell him where he is going. Who would have thought that Victor would actually treat Lily so harshly, he never even asked their people to treat her hand?
He eyed her swollen hand and let out a sigh. "They didn't find the research files." He uttered, closely watching Lily's reaction at his words. "I cannot let you go. I know you are a vengeful woman. I am not a fool to let you go after all this— after the things that you knew."
Lily met his eyes but she said nothing. Seeing this Kuznetsov also kept quiet and waited for his people to finish treating Lily. After a few minutes, the specialist finally completed putting some bandages on Lily's hand. They immediately gave her a pain reliever and left. "You look like a mess." He said.
"Isn't this your fault?"
His lips thinned. "I want you to give me what I want." Lily was clearly in a disadvantageous position right now. And yet, she still refused to give up!
"How can I give you something I don't have?" She countered.
"You didn't have it and yet you dared set up a trap to make me reveal myself to you. Why?"

Instead of answering, Lily lowered her gaze and eyed her hand. Then, she looked at the older man again. "You should already know, why…. Right?"
"You are brave."
"And so are you." Lily sneered.
"Indeed… a woman who had nothing to lose… is a bit scary. That was why I only acted to kill your grandmother when you arrived. After all, your appearance is akin to the appearance of her weakness."
Lily gulped in response. Hate glinted in her eyes. But it was too quick for Kuznetsov to notice it.
"But they wouldn't dare come here. Those people would not provoke my country… just because of a businessman." A sigh escaped his lips. "I will ask you one more time… give me the files."
"I don't know where it is."
Her statement made him frown. "Then think about it! Aren't you Lilian's granddaughter? You should know her more than anything else!" He ordered. "Did you really think that I would not touch your family if you keep on doing this? I will give you twenty-two hours to think about it! After that… I will start killing one of your loved ones every hour! Don't you love your brother? I will kill that man if you will not tell me where it is!"
As expected, Lily's face sank when she heard his voice.
"You don't believe me? How about I show you this…" He suddenly turned on the TV in his office. The person on the monitor was clearly Qin Yuanfeng sleeping. "He is staying in your mansion. My people are currently watching him and so is everyone that you love. Your father, your husband's family, and even your friends!" Seeing Lily's face turned ugly, he let out a low, sinister chuckle. "You are forcing me to do this! I have no time to play with your silly little games! Two hours! I will give you two hours to think about it!"
Lily lowered her head, her hands clenched as she heard him instruct his people to bring Lily to the room next to his office. Seeing Lily's downcasted expression, he let out another chuckle. Kuznetsov was too engrossed in his own success that he failed to notice the slight smirk in Lily's face the moment she turned her back on him.
When Lily left, Kuznetsov immediately summoned Victor who was unhappy that Kuznetsov never allowed him to torture the woman.
"Don't worry about it. Once I get the information from her… I will give her to you. You can do what you want. Just make sure to dispose of the body well."
When Victor heard this, a grin immediately slithered on his lips. "I understand." He chuckled. "Just let me do what I want and I am good! As long as I can have my revenge."
