Chapter 129

Lena's gaze flickered with realization. She knew exactly what Jeff implied: an aphrodisiac. She took a deep breath, her eyes hardening as she stared at him.

“If I take this, will you let Peggy go?”

“Colonel Bailey, it all depends on your performance,” Jeff said with a sly grin, tossing the pill to Lena.

Lena caught it, hesitating before swallowing it whole. Peggy was visibly moved by Lena's sacrifice.

“Ha, excellent!” Jeff burst into excited laughter. His gaze on Lena became even more unrestrained. He considered her his already.

“Will you release Peggy now?” Lena asked.

“Colonel Bailey, I never said I would,” Jeff replied mockingly, licking his lips.

“You bastard!” Lena's face flushed with anger. “I’ll kill you right now!”

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill her this instant!” Jeff’s eyes narrowed as he pressed a sharp scalpel against Peggy’s throat, drawing a drop of blood.

“Ah!” Peggy screamed in terror, her face paling.

“Stop it!” Lena commanded, recognizing Jeff’s madness.

“Colonel Bailey, do you believe me now?” Jeff paused, his smile sinister.

“I do,” Lena said through clenched teeth. Her eyes hostile, she asked, “What do you want?”

“What do I want? I’ve already told you. I’m seeking revenge for my fallen men. I want to savor the taste of your body,” Jeff said, his eyes glinting with greed as he licked his lips.

“You’re a disgrace, obsessed with women. Your men were pitiful to follow you,” Lena scoffed, hoping to provoke him.

“Yes, I am a disgrace,” Jeff admitted, his smile deepening. “Colonel Bailey, aren’t you ashamed to be defiled by a disgrace like me?”

“You shameless scum! You’ll meet a terrible end!” Lena retorted.

“Heh. I don’t know if I’ll die, but Colonel Bailey, you’ll soon be in ecstasy,” Jeff taunted, his gaze burning with desire.

“As if a lowlife like you could satisfy me. Dream on! You’re nothing but a sewer rat—condemned to darkness forever!” Lena’s words were filled with scorn, aimed at further enraging him.

Jeff’s forehead twitched. Though evidently agitated, he quickly regained his composure, looking at Lena with a cold smirk.

“Colonel Bailey, there’s no need to try provoking me. You must be feeling quite hot and uncomfortable by now.”

“Damn it…” Lena’s attempt to anger him had failed. She clenched her teeth. As Jeff said, her body was starting to feel hot and weak. She wondered how much longer she could hold on as the drug’s effects took hold.
