Chapter 197

The server tossed Bailey onto the couch before he spun around to head to the bathroom.

He had just taken two steps when a dagger shot to his front from the back and pressed against his neck.

“Stay still. Otherwise, your life will be forfeited.”

A shudder ran through the server, and he stammered, “I-I'm only doing this for the money. As the saying goes, every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If you want reprisal, you should seek out the culprit who hired us to kidnap you.”

Bailey smiled, arching an eyebrow. Without warning, the dagger bore down another inch. In a split second, bright red blood trickled down the blade.

Due to the pain, the server reflexively cried out, only to be gagged with a wad of tissue.

“Well, what did that man earlier order you to do?”

“Uh...”

“You're not talking? Then, it means that you choose death. Okay, I'll grant you your wish.” Bailey gave a low chuckle.

As her words fell, her dagger pressed down once more. In an instant, the flow of blood increased in speed.

The server's eyes went wide, but he was gagged, so he could only produce muffled noises.

Deliberately ignoring the terror on his face, Bailey remarked with a half-smile, “You're still unwilling to speak? Fine, then. I'll cut deeper. At that time, even God himself can't save you when your neck is severed.”

While she said that, the dagger in her hand pressed deeper again.

“Mmph!” The server was in such a panic that tears escaped his eyes. He reached up and removed the wad of tissue in his mouth.

“I'll talk! I'll talk, okay? Please don't torture me anymore.”

Smirking, Bailey quirked an eyebrow. “Oh, that's right. You were gagged, so you couldn't speak. Sorry!”

Dropping to his knees, the server pleaded with tears streaming down his face, “Please spare me, miss. I'll tell you everything, okay? That gentleman told us to kidnap you and text Artemis Luther with your phone, asking him to meet in Room 501 on the sixteenth floor. As for his intentions, I really haven't the slightest idea—”

Before he had finished speaking, Bailey struck him at the back of the neck and knocked him out.
