Chapter 229: Dare You Play Tricks on Me?

He was Mark’s brother! In an instant, Claire’s mind was filled with only Alan’s words. All color drained from her face, and she uncontrollably staggered back several steps. Fortunately, to maintain her balance, she quickly grabbed the bed beside her, her head lowered. Alan didn’t see her true expression.

“Scared?” Alan taunted, chewing gum. He was, of course, delighted to see Frederick’s woman in a mess, afraid, and terrified. To be honest, Claire was genuinely afraid, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. She never thought that one day she would be so close to the world’s largest terrorist organization under such circumstances. Frederick killed Mark, who was Alan’s most hated enemy, and she was Frederick’s fiancée.

In a moment, her brain went blank, unable to think, let alone calm down. But she knew she couldn’t panic, or she would really die here! Claire pinched her thigh, letting the intense pain bring back her senses.

As Alan was about to approach her, Claire suddenly raised her head. “Scared? I am indeed quite scared. Any normal person hearing about a terrorist organization, and the world’s largest and most infamous one at that, should be scared. But I’m more excited now. I really didn’t expect such a coincidence. You only know that I’m Frederick’s fiancée? Don’t you know our real relationship?” Claire laughed loudly to cover her body’s trembling. Of course, her words were a mix of truth and lies. Otherwise, she might not be able to deceive Alan.

“What’s your real relationship? Tell me more.” Alan found it quite interesting, not expecting this situation. He had indeed wanted to torment Claire, looking forward to seeing her fear almost to the point of death. In that way, he might feel some sense of revenge against Frederick. But her unexpected reaction piqued his interest.

“I am Frederick’s fiancée, but not as you think. I’m not the woman Frederick loves. Frederick just uses me as a shield. He’s a general and now running for president. You don’t need me to tell you how dangerous it is around him. Not to mention those competing for the presidency, there are so many enemies he’s made over the years in politics and on the battlefield, all very dangerous. Aren’t you one of them? But I thought you had all died in that war years ago. I didn’t expect you were still alive and have now come here. You want revenge, don’t you? Great, I think we can cooperate. I…”

Claire racked her brain to come up with this excuse, but before she could finish, Alan suddenly plunged the dagger into Claire’s scapula, not giving her a chance to react.

“Ah!” Claire screamed in pain, her forehead beaded with sweat. She was initially squatting but knelt on the ground. Had she not clutched the edge of the bed tightly, she might not have been able to bear the pain.

“Cunning woman, who do you think you are, playing mind games in front of me?” Alan spat out the gum, and with his other hand, he also grabbed the dagger, forcefully rotating and pressing down. Blood gushed from Claire’s scapula. She winced in pain, her facial muscles twitching, her lips trembling violently, unable to make a sound.
