Stefan’s gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile. “Your martial arts skills are quite impressive, so that’s not surprising.”
He had long guessed that Renee was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Everheart family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyone’s minds if she were to be found out.
However, the man never found enough concrete evidence to rip that mask off. Thus, he was very excited to hear her reveal her secrets.
“Really now?” Renee cracked her knuckles and approached the bed, smirking coldly. “Are you not afraid that you’d be my next target? After all, you can’t move. A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldn’t have to negotiate senselessly with you.”
She then placed two fingers on the man’s neck, as quick as lightning. “I’ll be honest, the last man who died in my hands was way stronger than you. But my thumb and pointer finger were enough to snap his neck in an instant. The way his tongue fell out was similar to those horror movies too!” After revealing this information, Renee hoped that Stefan could finally see just how cruel and cold-blooded she could be, and would voluntarily distance himself from her.
Unfortunately, it seemed that she had achieved the complete opposite instead.
Stefan didn’t seem scared at all, and his eyes filled with admiration as he asked, “Did you really snap someone’s neck using only two fingers?”
Renee was dumbfounded. ‘Is this guy for real? Why is he focusing on that instead?’
“According to my knowledge, there are no more than five people who have that kind of strength, and those people are quite infamous for their crimes. Don’t tell me you’re one of them?” Stefan looked as if he was teasing her, but was actually trying to fish information out of her.
Only then did Renee realize how rash she had been, nearly exposing her hidden identity right then.
The man only needed a bit of research to see who had been recently killed with just two fingers. With that, he’d be able to realize that she was one of the most infamous, ruthless bounty hunters – Frost.
However, now that things had played out this way, she didn’t feel the need to hide anymore. “That’s right, I am. Scared, huh? Just so you know, I have a lot of blood on my hands, so I can’t be your innocent, gentle little housewife. If you’re smart, you’d agree to a divorce right now, and we can both have our happy endings. And… if you ever need to assassinate someone, I can give you a twenty percent discount!”
Renee refused to believe that a meticulous man like Stefan would still want to stay married to a cruel murderer who prioritized profits.
“So you’ve been beating around the bush, even going as far as exposing yourself, all because you wanted to convince me to get a divorce?” Stefan smiled widely. “Well, I do love challenges. Think about it… The infamous, terrifying bounty hunter Frost… as my wife! Don’t you see how cool that sounds? And that just means more protection for me. Who would even dare to give me trouble when I have you as my wife?”
Renee instantly became speechless after hearing Stefan’s ‘open-minded’ explanation. She thought to herself, ‘Is this man mad? He is, isn’t he?”
“Aren’t you very picky? How can you be so accepting now? You know I like someone else, you know I like violence, you know my hands are drenched in blood, and that I am a greedy, ruthless murderer!
How could you not mind at all?” Renee started backing away from him, absolutely stupefied. “I really suggest you get your brain checked.”
“Don’t you think it’s possible that I just don’t mind any side of you… because it’s you?” Stefan asked finally.
