Chapter 205 I Only Want To Live

However, the man suddenly brought his lips to Madelyn’s ear. “Really?”

His warm breath brushed against her earlobe, but she found it like a snake flicking its tongue out, sending a shiver down her spine.

Her heart that had just settled back into her chest was instantly lodged into her throat again.

“So, how did you come to know about Morgana? Many people heard of her, but few had ever seen her. How were you able to impersonate her so perfectly?”

The man finally circled back to her front again, looking devilish with a smirk.

Her heart trembling, Madelyn stole a glance at him, only to be immediately frightened and quickly lower her head.

Good heavens! How am I supposed to answer that? There’s no way I can tell him that I was reborn. He’d probably think I was insane and kill me on the spot.

For a moment, she bit her rosy lips hard, at a loss for an answer.

When the man saw that, his expression hardened.

In an instant, several men in black surrounded her. They restrained her and held her limbs so tightly that she couldn’t move at all.

“If you want to make it out alive, you’d better spill everything you know. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

While speaking, the bewitching man suddenly loosened his grip on the wine glass in his hand with an air of indifference. With a crisp crash, it shattered on the smooth, high–end porcelain floor.

To him, ending a woman’s life was as simple and effortless as shattering a glass.

Madelyn shivered in fright. Naturally, she was aware that he was capable of that. Unknowingly, a layer of cold sweat had already drenched her back.

But I genuinely don’t know what to say. Regrettably, judging from the look of things now, he probably won’t let me off the hook easily unless I provide him an explanation.

At that thought, she suddenly steeled herself.

If I’m to die, so be it!

She decided to tell him the same explanation she gave Grimo–she possessed a superpower.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that, the man flew into a sudden rage. He lunged at her and strangled her. “You’re nothing but a silly little girl, yet you dare use such a pathetic excuse to deceive me? Hah! It seems you truly can’t behave!”

Cough! Cough! Cough!

“You’re not worthy of dying by my hand.”

Following that, he swiftly waved a hand at a man in black at the side.

The man in black immediately nodded in understanding, stepping forward with his dagger drawn.

“What are you… What are you trying to do? Don’t kill me… Please don’t kill me!” Madelyn was terrified at the sight of the dagger that glinted coldly, paling in fright. She wanted to resist, but her hands were restrained tightly.

She watched helplessly as immense fear washed over her, yet she was unable to resist.

At that very moment, all she could do was scream.

In an instant, she let out a gut–wrenching scream, making one’s hair stand on end.

As her scream echoed, the man in black deftly grazed the dagger across her face lightly, leaving a clean cut. Blood immediately began to seep from the wound.

Ouch!

Although the wound was very shallow, Madelyn was still in such pain that she was on the brink of tears.

The pain was not on her face but deep within her heart.

Her overwhelming fear and the pain on her face were magnified countless times at that crucial moment like a nightmare that tormented her in unimaginable ways.

Unfortunately, no one cared about her nightmare.

At that moment, the bewitching man laughed nonchalantly. He took the dagger from the hand of the man in black and playfully brandished it before her.

“Seeing that you’re quite good–looking, consider that slash just now a little warning from me. If you don’t start telling the truth, I can’t guarantee that your beautiful face will remain unscathed.”

Madelyn was long since trembling all over.

A sudden surge of courage shot through her, and she found herself insisting, “Believe it or not, I really have a special ability! It’s just that it works sometimes and fails other times. If you truly don’t believe me, I can tell you something that will convince you that I’m telling the truth.”

“Really? Tell me, then.” Looking at her face that was trickling blood, the man inexplicably found an unusual beauty in it. Since she was so sure, he decided to see what she had to say.

Madelyn immediately took a deep breath. This seems to be my only chance of making it out alive.

And so, she forced herself to calm down and desperately tried to recall the events of her previous life.

Memories began to play in her mind, one after another.

She remembered that she inadvertently learned in her previous life that although Morgana had countless subordinates, the highest–ranking among them were her two right–hand men.

superior and subordinate.

If I’m not mistaken, this bewitching man before me is likely one of the two right–hand men. In my previous life, I happened to hear that one of them was injured and lost his left hand. I’m not sure which of them were injured, but thinking about it now, it seemed to have happened around this time.

Beads of cold sweat trickled down Madelyn’s forehead, leaving her in a state of discomfort.

After a long deliberation, she finally started anxiously, “If my ability is working, one of Morgana’s two right- hand men will undoubtedly suffer a severe injury and lose an arm within the next two weeks.”

Unexpectedly, the bewitching man’s expression underwent a series of changes after he had heard that, culminating in a sudden outburst of anger. “That’s impossible! You’re spouting nonsense!”

Judging from his reaction, Madelyn was even more convinced that he had to be one of the two right–hand men.

How unexpected… I was merely masquerading as Morgana. Why did I attract such a formidable top assassin?

While he was still seething, she quickly seized the opportunity to continue, “If you don’t believe me, why not wait and see? After all, there’s only half a month left. I trust that since you could find me in such a short time, you must know everything about me and my friends and family, right? If I were lying, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to kill me?”

After saying that, she paused briefly before adding, “However, I have one condition. For the coming two weeks, I want to lead a normal life until my words come true.”

“You’ve got some nerve. How do you think you’re worthy of negotiating with me?” The man’s aura intensified menacingly.

Instantly, a shiver ran down Madelyn’s spine.

With no other choice, she lowered her head, her voice trembling as she said, “I… I don’t have the nerve to do that. I only want to live.”

If doing so could keep me alive, why wouldn’t I take a gamble and risk death?

At that moment, the man focused and gazed hard at her face. His eyes were filled with probing as if he was trying to see right through her.

A while later, he finally nodded in agreement after weighing and considering it.
