Chapter 356 Frustrated
Chapter 356 Frustrated
?
What made Rebecca so terrified of Arthur was actually the fact that he knew she was watching.
He probably knew because he could sense her, and that only showed how much his power which then increased the power of his instincts.
After that, he could obviously easily estimate that there was a hidden camera.
If even her gaze could be sensed by him, Rebecca knew that Arthur could sense the danger of her plan.
Things would be easy for him as he could leave or enter depending on whether he was convinced or not.
And perhaps he was really confident of escaping the trap she set up given his strength.
Rebecca canceled the meeting with the top brass of the European Bank, and exited the building she was in. She drove her own car, getting to the gun show as quickly as possible.
It was actually a long distance between her location and the location of the gun show, so she needed more time.
Of course, Rebecca wasn't completely unplanned.
She still hoped to negotiate by relying on the nuke inside her body.
Meanwhile, Suzune glanced at Arthur who was following her before staring at the cell phone in her hand as it beeped, indicating a message had come in.
She quickly knitted her brows when she saw that it was from her mother.
This was always something she was very lazy to read, so her fingers moved slowly as she opened the message.
However, when the message appeared in front of her eyes and she read it, her steps immediately stopped.
She froze, but more than just froze, it was like her blood actually became ice. Her white skin even seemed to become gray from being too pale.
Arthur who finally arrived beside her only needed one glance to see the contents of the message.
He laughed softly, putting his hand on the back of her neck, without touching her hair at all since it was put up in a very neat bun.
"I know it's a shock, but learn to accept it because you're dealing with more than just a man with magic," Arthur said in a low voice next to her ear.
Hearing his words, Suzune's teeth drew together and rubbed together, producing a soft scraping sound.
Her breathing sometimes became fast but sometimes it also became slow, even seeming like she was on the verge of death.
People always said that mental attacks were the most dangerous. Suzune who was used to getting mental attacks and thought that she was not so much affected by any mental attack realized that there was no limit to mental attacks.
A wide range of feelings arose in her heart, from anger, frustration, to the feeling of going crazy.
'Rebecca, Rebecca, you demon, you gave up so easily, and now you're making me unable to do anything,' she said to herself.
'Is my limit really only up to here?' she wondered.
'No, no, I don't have a limit, this guy just happened to be too strong from the start, he's the antagonist in my story. But why did he come so quickly, without even giving me a chance to grow stronger? Is there any way I can escape from here?'
She took a deep breath, looking at Arthur.
For a moment, her expression was like she wanted to pounce on him, but she calmed down only a moment later.
"Fuck you!" And suddenly, she cursed Arthur.
The latter responded by snapping his fingers.
An instant after that, Suzune felt something enter her body.
"You?" Her mouth opened again as she suddenly felt like her body was bound.
Arthur deliberately made her feel that sensation so that she would realize what was happening.
"From the very beginning it was easy for me to make you fall into my control. I only deliberately showed you the process so that you would slowly feel the pressure." Arthur explained.
"You're vile!" Suzune cursed Arthur again.
Her true nature seemed to be like this, a woman who whined easily.
"You're just worrying too much," Arthur said, shaking his head.
"Trust me, I won't bully you anymore as long as you do what I ask, nothing more, and that doesn't mean I don't give you something in return. You will get a magic spell from me. With your foundation as a strong Evolver, I guarantee you can become three times stronger than you are now. You can grow fast by my side so that all your enemies can be easily defeated."
"So what? I'm still under one person." Suzune snorted in response.
"You've always been beneath others, why are you having so much trouble accepting it now? Am I worse than all the people who were above you all this time? Ah, that's impossible, I'm sure I'm better than all of them." Arthur laughed.
Of course, he knew that what Suzune could not accept was the fact that she would find it very difficult to gain her independence again, perhaps no chance at all.
Suzune was silent for a long time, like she was thinking.
After a while, she suddenly nodded.
"Yeah, I think I should congratulate you now," she said.
It was a bit of a surprise that Arthur wondered if she had already accepted this defeat.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" The woman smacked his palm as she saw his expression.
"It's very frustrating, but don't think I'm a woman who can't do anything just because I'm frustrated."
"I see!" Arthur smiled at that.
Although she could whine, she was still a reliable woman in the end.
"I'm sure you'll adapt quickly, well, let's stop this conversation, don't you have to work?" Arthur pointed his hand forward, allowing her to continue her walk.
However, the woman did not take a step.
"Give me that spell first," she said suddenly.
It seemed that strength was indeed the most important thing to her.
Arthur smiled in response, then gestured for her to follow to a quiet place.
Since they were still in the parking area, it wasn't difficult to find a quiet place.
"Close your eyes," Arthur said when they got there.
Suzune did as Arthur said while she put her hand on her forehead.
He then sent the spell to Suzune's head.
The process was really short as the woman's power made everything very easy.
As Arthur withdrew his hand from Suzune's head, the woman opened her eyes.
However, she didn't show any sort of confusion, just laughed softly.
"I see now, no wonder that woman wants magic so much," she said.
"It's something that has no limits," Arthur replied.
"Indeed!" Suzune agreed.
Surprisingly enough, after saying that, she grabbed Arthur's hand.
