Lucinda fired the questions in rapid succession.
But the more she asked, the calmer Levi became.
“You’re grasping at straws, Lucinda. Don’t you think it’s reckless of you to condemn me based on Kyson’s statement alone?”
Of course, Lucinda had never expected him to cave and admit his involvement right away.
The old fox was so damn cunning.
“It doesn’t matter if you refuse to admit anything. A few days ago, in a crowded bar, someone tried to some corrosive chemicals at my face. Naturally, I wouldn’t stand for such insult, so I brought the same thing with me here.”
Abel produced a glass bottle and a plastic brush, and then placed them on the table in front of Lucinda.
“What the hell is that?” Levi spat out.
Lucinda blinked at him, her eyes glinting with mischief.
“Why, it’s the all-time corrosive substance, $40, I was thinking of writing something on your face with it. I wonder what it should be, though…”
Levi shuddered with fright.
“That thing has been flagged as contraband by the biochemical warfare authorities themselves! How did you get your hands on it? How could Graham allow this?”
“Ah, see? So, you really were lying. You even know that it’s considered contraband. How could you say that this has nothing to do with you?”
Lucinda uncapped the bottle and slowly stirred the liquid with the plastic brush.
“I can’t seem to get anything useful out of you, so I might as well have a bit of fun. Oh by the way, this is just sulfuric acid, but I bet it would still be painful.”
“You! Stop! I am your uncle!”

Lucinda ignored his protests. She cocked her head to the side and pretended to ponder something.
“Since you claim to be just another ordinary civilian, why don’t I write that on your forehead?”
“How dare you!”
“Why shouldn’t I? If you want, you can run home to your allies in the Simmons family. You can tell them how I suddenly came back to life after six years, that I kidnapped you and ruined your face with chemicals. I can even provide you the evidence you need. Well? Would you dare to do that?”
“You!” For the first time, Levi felt truly scared.
She had obviously planned everything beforehand. How could he tell his relatives that his niece had suddenly returned from the dead without explaining everything else? He would suffer losses no matter which path he took.
“Just kill me if you can! Otherwise, just wait and see!”
Lucinda cast a scornful glance at him and scoffed.
