Peggy’s gaze wavered. She’d expected to see Cameron’s demise but found herself looking at a different scene instead.
Jeff was kneeling before Cameron. He was clutching his abdomen in agony, with sweat rolling down his forehead.
Cameron asked coolly, “Are you ready to yield now?”
“Who… who are you?” Jeff asked hoarsely in pain as he looked up.
The quick exchange had ended before Jeff could even see Cameron’s move, revealing Cameron’s superior skill.
Jeff wondered when Laura started associating with such an expert and why he’d never heard of Cameron in the intelligence.
Cameron’s gaze was indifferent, his dark eyes devoid of warmth.
He responded, “What makes you think you deserve an answer from me?”
“I accept my defeat. Just kill me,” Jeff conceded and bowed his head.
He acknowledged he was no match for Cameron.
Cameron replied impassively, “Of course, I’ll kill you. But first, answer me this. Who sent you after Laura?”
“You think I’ll talk?” Jeff sneered.
He was loyal to the professional code of protecting his employer’s secrets.
“Of course not.”
Cameron had expected the refusal.
“Why bother asking then?” Jeff scoffed.
“I offered you a chance to come clean. I know you’re a mercenary and trained to withstand torture. But rest assured, I have ways to make you talk,” Cameron said.
After witnessing Cameron’s capability, his steady tone instilled a deep fear in Jeff.
Jeff was desperate not to fall into Cameron’s hands. He thought of biting into the poison capsule hidden in his teeth.
“Are you thinking of suicide?”
Cameron smirked before preempting Jeff’s move with a swift knee to his jaw.
Jeff’s jaw shattered with a resounding crack. Teeth and blood scattered as he screamed in agony on the ground, writhing like a fish in a frying pan.

“Too noisy.”
Cameron frowned.
Then, he flicked a silver needle into Jeff’s neck and rendered him unconscious.
Cameron smiled lightly as he turned to Peggy, who was in shock.
“Ms. Lee, problem solved.”
He proceeded to untie her. Peggy stared at Cameron as she came back to her senses.
She wondered if that was a display of Cameron’s true strength. It seemed she had underestimated
him.
“Ms. Lee?”
Cameron waved his hand before the dazed Peggy, bringing her back to reality.
She wanted to thank him but remembered Cameron’s cold words from earlier. The resentment
resurfaced as she recalled how she was almost violated while Cameron spoke so icily.
Peggy opened her mouth and bit down hard on Cameron’s shoulder.
