Nancy Hinton thought it was unnecessary for Zeke to accuse Mance Raider so.

Mance was polite and refined; he did not seem like he would do anything close to Zeke’s accusations.

She smiled apologetically. “Guys, something came up in my office, so I’ll have to get going first.”

“Zeke, let’s go.”

She took Zeke’s hand and headed out.

Zeke could only sigh.

Nancy Hinton was not only poisoned with worms, but she was clearly brainwashed by Mance Raider as well.

Zeke hoped that Nancy had not reached the point of no return.

The party was bustling with life again after Zeke left. The hall was filled with laughter and clinking glasses.

Nancy silently retreated herself to a corner.

Her face was flushed. She had trouble catching her breath as she felt waves of hot chills.

An unfamiliar feeling was building up inside of her, making her uncomfortable.


Mance was thrilled to see her reaction. The alcohol was clearly waking up the toxic worms in her body and causing her to feel lustful.

His chance was finally here.

Mance smiled smugly. “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for taking the time out to attend this party. I am deeply grateful for your presence.”

“It’s getting quite late, and I do not wish to interrupt your resting hours. You may head back home now.”

“We will drink to our hearts’ content seven days later with General North at the opening ceremony of my company.”

The crowd dispersed in glee. They did not forget to remind Mance Raider to invite General North to attend the opening ceremony before leaving.

After everyone had left, Mance turned his attention to Nancy. “Nancy, you’re drunk. Let me help you to your room.”

Nancy did not seem at ease with his offer, “Mr. Raider, thank you for inviting me here tonight but I do not wish to stay for the night. I still have something on in the office.”

Mance replied, “Nancy, you’re drunk and cannot be driving in this state.”

Nancy tried to refuse him again. “It’s okay, I could just call for a car to pick me up...”

Mance seemed displeased at her reaction. “Nancy, do you really believe what Zeke said?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave right away after helping you to your room. I promise not to touch you.”

Nancy was flustered to see Mance losing his patience and realized that it would be impolite of her to reject his offer to help.

In the end she obliged and said, “Okay then...”

Mance smiled slyly at her reply and helped Nancy to a room.

Nancy tried her best to stay conscious. “Mr. Raider, you may leave now. I’ll be alright after plenty of rest.”

Mance’s lips curled into a thin smile and slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

He did not really leave.

Nancy’s heart skipped a beat at the loud slam of the door.

She was slowly drifting out of consciousness. She bit her tongue in a desperate attempt to stay awake.
