Groaning in pain, Sonny managed to prop himself up on the floor, still tightly gripping the cold box with his left arm.
Kyson clicked his tongue and remarked, “I know you’re skilled in combat and have an impressive physique. Nathan personally trained you.
But defeating my armed men with just your bare hands is quite the challenge, isn’t it?”
The melodic strains of a violin came from the banquet hall. Kyson lazily rubbed his neck, his patience wearing thin.
“Forget it. Just finish him off with your pistol. I’ll explain the situation to my mother later.”
“Yes, sir.” Jamie held out his gun again, aimed it at Sonny’s head, and was about to pull the trigger.
“Stop! Nobody moves!”
Suddenly, Lucinda appeared behind Kyson. She swiftly restrained his arms and pressed the sharp silver needle from her ring against his neck.
A drop of blood trickled down his neck.
With a threatening tone, she warned, “This silver needle is incredibly sharp. Don’t make any move, unless you want me to slit his throat!”
Stunned, Jamie stood frozen. Seizing the opportunity, Sonny snatched the gun from Jamie’s hand and pressed it against his forehead.
The tables had turned. The other three guards exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
In the tense atmosphere, Kyson broke into Laughter.
“Sneaking up on me like that? Not cool! We had a deal, remember? But you were planning to steal it from me. If you were to succeed, I would lose all my Leverage.”
“I don’t give a shit about principles. The best way to beat you is to be more ruthless than you! You were also scheming to marry me without giving me the serum.”

She then said with a serious tone, “Release Sonny and I’ll stay here.”
“No way. Our wedding is in seven days. What if he goes back home with the serum and cures Nathan? And what if Nathan comes here and takes you away?”
Kyson blinked his eyes, signaling to the other three guards.
Three electric guns were aimed at Sonny’s back.
One more electric shock, and he would undoubtedly crumble to the floor, unable to rise again.
Kyson showed no fear of the weapon in Lucinda’s hand. He grinned wickedly at her and declared, “Don’t play games, Lucinda. You won’t kill me. I’m holding the alarm in my hand. If I die, you won’t be able to leave with him either. There will be no cure for Nathan, and he can only await death. That means we’re all going to end up dead.”
She pressed the needle deeper into his neck.
His neck bled again, which stained the collar of his white shirt.
Undeterred, Lucinda retorted, “Indeed, I won’t kill you. But you know what? I’ve learned a couple of moves from Hilliard before coming here.
