Chapter 234 Useless

Claire was very proactive, grabbing Alan’s collar and seeking affection. In no time, she stripped off her clothes and pressed herself against him.

Frederick watched with bloodshot eyes as they lay naked together. Had it not been for his years of military training, he might not have been able to stay seated, especially since Claire was his fiancée. He could only watch as his woman was intimate with another man, naked.

“I’ve never experienced such pleasure before. Now I finally understand. It’s truly maddening,” Alan said.

Both Alan and Frederick were leaders of their respective factions—one a terrorist organization and the other the military. In terms of cunning, observation, and tactics, they were both formidable. Alan, of course, noticed Frederick’s peculiarity. Despite Frederick’s best efforts to suppress it, Alan still detected his abnormality.

At that moment, Frederick felt all the blood in his body rush to his heart. The sight of the naked couple entwined before his eyes was like a hammer pounding on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. But when he saw the smooth, flat belly of the woman on the screen, Frederick felt as if the blood suddenly flowed freely, and his heart wasn’t as painful anymore. If he hadn’t been with Claire, he would have been deceived by this video. But they had been intimate so many times, and he knew all too well the black mole on Claire’s lower abdomen.

“I thought you would be more formidable than Mark, but you’re not even close. As Mark’s brother, you’re a disgrace. Mark would fight me openly on the battlefield, at least,” Alan sneered.

“What about you? You only use a woman against me. It’s laughable. It’s the lowest trick I despise. Do you think I would lose my composure over this woman?” Frederick retorted.

“Yes, Claire is my fiancée, but I am not only her fiancé but also the protector of Kingstown. If I had to choose, I would choose the people of Kingstown in your hands over her. As my Frederick’s fiancée, she would naturally understand me. As for you…” Frederick said, his voice laced with contempt.

Frederick looked up at Alan, his eyes filled with contempt. “You went to such great lengths to get me here, not just to show me this, right? Aren’t you here to avenge your brother? If you’re still a man, bring it on! Using others to threaten me, what kind of skill is that?”

“Hahaha! Frederick, do you think your provocation works on me? I am a man, but remember that I am also the head of a terrorist organization,” Alan laughed.

“As for my brother, you say I’m not as good as him, right? Of course, I’m not. If my brother was as treacherous and ruthless as me, with means as despicable and cruel, he wouldn’t have died at your hands.”

“I am here to avenge my brother, but you are now under my control. I will take my revenge bit by bit. Be patient. Lock him in the water dungeon. Without my orders, no one is allowed to release him.” Alan gave the orders and left.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he smashed a vase placed by the door to the ground. “Frederick! Very good! Just you wait! Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, I will naturally torture you slowly.”

Alan kicked aside the shards of the vase on the ground and ordered his men, “Go bring Claire to me. Divide the hostages captured from Bright Night Hotel into three batches and keep them in the basement. Remember to take good care of them. Before I make my move, no one is allowed to have any accidents!”

In no time, Claire was brought over. ‘Come, listen to this.’

Seeing Claire arrive, Alan played the recording of Frederick’s words he had just made.

Claire laughed. “Frederick doesn’t care about me at all. I told you. To him, I’m just a tool to take the fall for another woman. Why are you playing this recording for me?”

“No particular reason. I just wanted you to hear it.”

As Alan spoke, he continued to scrutinize Claire. Seeing that she really showed no signs of distress, he finally believed what Claire had said before. “Alright, let’s discuss how to deal with Frederick now.”

“You said you want to cooperate with me and follow all my orders. I have only one request now, and that is to torment Frederick. I will not let him die easily.”

“I want him to experience unprecedented pain. I want to see his body and soul riddled with wounds. Only then can it offset my hatred. If you can do this, I will let you go.”

Claire didn’t expect Alan to make such a request. She clenched her fists and said directly, “I can’t do it.”

“What? Say that again!” Alan’s face showed shock as he rushed towards Claire, grabbing her by the collar.

“I said I can’t do it.” Claire remained unflinching, meeting Alan’s gaze.

“What use do I have for you then!” Alan drew his gun from his waist, loaded a bullet, and pressed it against Claire’s head.
