The disfigured maid left the suite silently with her head bowed as if she was trying to vanish into the shadows. She avoided eye contact, unwilling to let anyone see the ruined features of her face. What woman wouldn't care about her appearance?Elisa could have made a scar-removal ointment to restore the maid's face. But the process would require rare ingredients and time. Two things Elisa didn't have to spare.Her only goal was to get out of the Glovers' place as fast as she could. Helping strangers wasn't exactly her thing.After finishing her meal, Elisa sprawled on her plush bed, her mind turning to tomorrow's confrontation.Once she administered the final treatment, Maurice's body would be free of the toxins. From that moment on, he'd walk like any other man and be free from his wheelchair.But she knew all too well that Maurice wasn't the type to show gratitude. The moment his legs were healed, he'd dispose of her without hesitation and wouldn't let her walk out of Ablil alive.

Maurice let out a cold, humorless laugh, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits.Caesar stood frozen, not daring to utter a single word. He feared that any sound might draw Maurice's ire and make him the scapegoat for Maurice's growing rage.If Maurice had never experienced the joy of standing again, perhaps this wouldn't have stung as much. But to taste that fleeting freedom-only to have it ripped away-was cruelty almost worse than death.Especially for man like Maurice, whose obsession with curing his legs had consumed him for years. Now, all hope was gone. His fury surged like a wildfire."Elisa!" He spat her name through gritted teeth, every syllable dripping with venom. The murderous intent in his voice was palpable."Do you think you can make a fool of me? You're courting death!"At his command, a group of men lunged toward Elisa, ready to subdue her like a dangerous criminal.But before they could lay a hand on her, Elisa moved. She executed a flawless over-the-shoulder throw

As the chaos subsided, Caesar's grim, steady voice cut through the commotion, "This is indeed a venomous creature. It's a twin venomous creature!" Caesar's voice carried through the tense air."With these venomous creatures, one host feels pain, but the other feels it doubled. And if one host dies, the other doesn't just die-they die in excruciating agony!" The room erupted in chaos.Kelsey's voice cracked with urgency. "Is there a way to fix this? Caesar, think of something! Get that damned thing out of him!"Caesar hesitated, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. "There's a method to remove it... If we extract the primary venomous creature, the bond will break, and Mr. Glovers will be fine. But..." "But what?" Kelsey demanded, her voice sharp with desperation."But these venomous creatures have been altered. If we forcefully remove them, it'll kill him instantly."The air turned icy.Kelsey staggered, her face pale as the realization hit her. "Is there nothing we can do?"She

Maurice froze for a moment. Wait... She actually pulled that off? Not only did Elisa survive, but she even had the audacity to flip him the bird.And just like that, Maurice burst into laughter.It wasn't a chuckle, rather it was a full-throated, chest-shaking laugh that echoed across the enclosure.Everyone else was also completely baffled.But there was no denying it. Elisa had just defied every single expectation.What everyone thought would be her gruesome end turned into an incredible show of survival. Step by step, she lured the crocodiles into attacking each other. She narrowly avoided their jaws and came out of it completely unscathed. Some of the men breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her death would've spelled trouble for Maurice.Not everyone was happy, though. Standing in the shadows, Khloe's face twisted in frustration.It was bad enough that she was disfigured by the crocodiles. Now, watching Elisa not only survive but win? It was unbearable. Why should Elisa get to e

To Elisa, Maurice was the definition of a loose cannon-a rabid dog you couldn't leash. So, there was no way she was removing the twin venomous creature.Without that connection, Maurice would have no reason to hold back. He'd take her life the second it suited him. But with the venomous creatures binding their fates together? He'd be forced to protect her if only to save his own skin. Elisa knew she couldn't trust him completely. Still, she had to throw him a bone-like treating his legs. It was her way of showing she wasn't trying to burn every bridge.Their eyes locked in a long, tense standoff. Finally, Maurice broke the silence, his tone dripping with something she couldn't quite place. "Fine. I agree. Just don't regret it later." Maurice didn't elaborate, and Elisa didn't press him. With that, they reached an uneasy truce.Once she was certain Maurice wasn't about to double-cross her again, Elisa got to work. She pulled out her needles and removed the lingering toxins that had bee
