Chapter 147: A Bomb Within Her

Amber lay motionless on the hospital bed, her eyes wide open. The tears streaming from the corners of her eyes spoke volumes of her fear. Fortunately, Tina was wearing a mask; otherwise, Amber would have been mortified to be seen so vulnerable in front of her, perhaps even wishing for death.

Tina squinted at Wraith, seeking an explanation with her gaze. Wraith, with a smirk, said, "We've implanted a mini bomb on each side of her body..." Seeing Tina's eyes grow colder, he chuckled, "Don't worry, it will only kill her if it explodes, not us. I do value my life, after all."

Tina's look turned even icier. Wraith continued, "This round, we'll see who can perform the surgery faster and more precisely. Whoever extracts the bomb first with an endoscope wins. Just so you know, I've set the timer on the bombs to one minute. Be careful not to trigger them prematurely."

"Right here?" Tina looked around the hall, frowning.

"Relax, the sterile operating room and sanitized equipment are all set," Wraith responded, making a welcoming gesture towards Tina. Following his cue, a plump man adeptly wheeled Amber's bed leading the way to the operating room. The operating room was equipped with two sets of endoscopic tools. This was a psychiatric hospital, unlikely to have such surgical equipment-it was clearly Wraith's doing. After pushing Amber into the room, the plump man, following Wraith's instructions, gently strapped her to the operating table with the usual restraints used for psychiatric patients, softly saying, "You, you need to be good, listen, listen to Victor."

As soon as he left, Tina and Wraith, now disinfected, entered. Wraith's eyes gleamed with malice behind his glasses. "Though the drug I administered will paralyze you, you'll still feel pain. We'll try to be gentle to avoid causing too much discomfort," he said softly.

Amber's eyes widened in terror, unable to curse or plead, only able to cry silently.
