Chapter 321

Joaquin quickly came forward and helped Jeremy push the cupboard to the side. Just like they had expected, there was a hidden doorway so well disguised that it was unrecognizable without careful observation.

After glancing at the door, Katherine immediately squatted down and opened it, revealing a large box with an intricate pattern carved on it. The box seemed valuable at first glance.

Just as Joaquin was about to pick up the box, she stopped him. "Don't touch it. This contains the mother insect. You might get in trouble if you're not careful. Let me do it."

Hearing that, he frowned. Though worried, he still trusted her and prompted, "Be careful."

She nodded before turning around to take a large cloth out of her bag and place it on the floor. Following that, she carefully picked up the box and discovered that the bottom was transparent.

Inside the box sat a large black thing. It seemed to be breathing because its plump body was rising and falling.

"So, this is the mother insect." Katherine stared at the thing for a split second before muttering. Then, she carefully placed the box on the cloth and wrapped it up.

"S-Since you got the mother insect, c-can you let me go now?" At that moment, Eddie watched the scene resignedly and could not help but beg for mercy.

She carefully picked up the cloth-wrapped package and gave it to Jeremy so he could place it inside the car. Then, she made her way toward Eddie.

Kneeling again, she stared at him for a moment before hooking her lips and taking out the two silver needles.

Eddie felt the bone-chilling pain in his body magically disappear, leaving only a gut-wrenching pang. He slowly sighed in relief and listlessly lay on the floor, feeling exhausted as if his body had just been pulled out of the water.

She rose to her feet and looked down at him before saying, "Eddie Scott-Tutton, from today onward, you are not to use your cursing skills to harm anyone. If I discover you're up to any funny business, don't expect me to show you mercy. You'd better behave yourself."

After saying that, she stepped over him and left. Yet, she suddenly remembered something and kindly told him, "By the way, I'm sure you still don't know that Mike Fraser died a few days ago. Although he didn't die in your hands, you can still rejoice in his death."

When Eddie heard her words, he was stunned and propped up half his body to look at her as if trying to confirm the truth.
