Zach said, “Alright, alright.”
He then moved to lie down on the bed.
Zeke waited until Zach was not paying attention before he stabbed two silver needles into the latter’s spine.
Surprised, Zach tried to struggle, only to find that he was immobile. He opened his mouth to shout but no sound
came out, either.
All he could do was stare at Zeke in terror.
Zeke quickly comforted him, “Don’t panic. I’ve only temporarily sealed your acupuncture points so you won’t be
able to move or speak later. We don’t want the game to be up before it even starts, do we? Besides, I already said I
wouldn’t kill you and I’ll keep my promise.”
At that, the fear in Zach receded.
Right then, from outside the room came the sound of footsteps.
There was no doubt that Lennon had arrived with his men.
Zeke dove for the closet nearby, hiding himself inside just as the room door was kicked open.
Lennon entered the room in a wheelchair with seven burly men behind him. When he spotted Zach lying prone on
the bed, he burst into laughter.
“Williams, we meet again!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZach did not reply as he was unable to speak.
Lennon continued, “Hey Williams, you’re not so cocky now, are you? Hmph! I’ve already told you that choosing to
go against me is a death sentence for you. But did you listen?”
Still no answer.
“Hmm? Did you lose your ability to speak as well? Ken, slap him!”
One of the men he brought with him, Ken, stepped forward and began to slap Zach harshly.
By the time he stopped, Zach’s face was so swollen that he could hardly be recognized.
Through all this, Zach did not utter a single peep, nor did he resist at all.
Lennon threw his head back and laughed hysterically. “Seems like your arms and legs really are useless now!
There’s no way you would just lay there and take a beating otherwise! Who’s having the last laugh now? Since you
can’t move your limbs, there’s no point in leaving them intact. Sever all his tendons!”
Pulling out a dagger, Ken grinned menacingly as he approached Zach.
In an instant, the color drained from Zach’s face.
Just the thought of having his tendons severed while he was still alive and fully conscious had him mentally cringing.
That would be most agonizing!
Once more, he tried to struggle and beg for mercy, but it was no use as he had been rendered mute and
completely immobile.
Squelch! Squelch!
After several quick motions, the tendons in Zach’s limbs were sliced open and blood stained the bedding crimson.
Still no enswer.

The pain was too much to bear and Zach fell into a coma.
Even so, Lennon did not seem satisfied. “You f**ker, I’m not done with you just yet! Ken, smack him awake for me!”
This time, no matter how hard Ken slapped him, Zach still did not awaken.
“Damn it. Don’t think I can’t wake you up, you piece of sh*t! Stab him in the guts!” Lennon snarled.
Ken finally spoke up, his tone careful as he warned, “Sir, maybe you should give up on trying to wake him. Given his
current condition, stabbing him might end up killing him. The Elder specifically said we can’t kill him yet. You can
wait till seven days later, when you have to extract his heart, to torture him then.”
Lennon clenched his teeth. “Fine. You get to live for several more days.”
Turning to his men, he ordered, “Contact Lacey immediately so she can come back to save this b*stard’s life. I don’t
want the Elder to come after me for killing him now.”
“Got it, Sir!”
After Lennon and his men left, Zeke hastily emerged from his hiding spot to rescue Zach.
That Sullivan really is brutal!
Soon, Zach slowly regained consciousness.
“M-my legs... My a-arms...”
