Seeing what was happening to Presley, Hasan, and John were so terrified that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled violently. They forgot to breathe. They knew they would face the same torture.
John broke down, crying, "Please let me die! Don't let me go. Just kill me!"
Hasan sobbed, begging, "John is the real culprit! Just torment him and kill me!"
Dexter calmly sipped his coffee and looked at them coldly. "Did my sister beg you back then?"
They shuddered, their despair deepening.
John cried, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I apologize to your sister. I will pray for her in my next life. Please spare me."
Hasan said, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have harmed your sister. I was immature and let my emotions get the best of me"
Dexter's eyes fell on Hasan as he mocked, "Immature? I think you were quite imaginative, coming up with so many perverse ideas. I've always wondered what your brain looks like, given the many twisted ideas it seems to contain."
A shiver ran down Hasan's spine; he had a bad feeling.
Dexter said, "Let's take this opportunity to see what your brain really looks like."
Before Hasan could understand Dexter's meaning, he saw two bodyguards approaching with a handheld electric cutter. He realized what was about to happen. His eyes widened in terror, his face turned pale, and his body shook violently.
"No Don't" He screamed.
Even Presley, who was being tortured to the point of wishing for death, trembled in fear.
John was so terrified that he lost control of his bowels and bladder, and others forced him to eat his own excrement.
Dexter leaned back, thought for a moment, and said, "You've been tormenting female contestants behind the scenes, so you must really enjoy that sort of thing. Since you like it so much, let's make sure you get plenty of it today. John came up with the idea, didn't he? So today, he gets to be the target. You can give him the full treatment. Use all the methods you've used on other girls. If you hold back, I'll make sure your suffering is worse than Presley's and John's."
Dexter's nonchalant words terrified everyone. They dared not object and could only brace themselves.
Several bodyguards took charge of Hasan and Presley, leaving eight people to torture John. They applied all the torturous methods used on the female contestants.
John suffered intensely. His mouth was gagged, so he couldn't scream. All he could do was cry in pain, endure the torment, and hope for a swift death.
He thought, 'Evangeline and Dexter are so cruel. Although I tortured their sister and other female contestants and hurt some Clusia competitors, I was lenient enough to spare their lives; they were only left with minor disabilities. But now, Evangeline and Dexter are torturing me mercilessly, ruining my dignity. They have gone too far!'
John's resentment was fleeting; his mind was soon consumed by unending pain, leaving no room for other thoughts. He wished he could die.
He thought, 'Why didn't I just kill myself after the show? Why did I try to escape? I've already witnessed Evangeline's cruelty through the live broadcasts. Jeffrey was tortured horribly in the show, dying only after immense suffering. I should have ended my life instead of escaping to avoid this torture. Now, I'm just like Jeffrey, caught in a situation where I can neither escape nor die.'
He deeply regretted his decisions. But regret couldn't undo his actions. He could only endure endless pain and long for death.
Evangeline rode the white tiger to the seaside, and the tiger moved slowly along the shore. She looked at the shimmering sea with a heavy heart, feeling suffocated by her emotions. Revenge wasn't as satisfying as she had imagined. Seeing the despicable men suffer only reminded her of Naomi's humiliation, leaving her heartbroken. Even though the tortures inflicted on those men were harsher than what Naomi had endured, it still felt insufficient—no amount of torture or revenge could ever ease the pain in her heart. Those heinous animals didn't deserve to be compared to Naomi. Naomi had done nothing wrong; she was innocent and should never have faced any humiliation. Yet, she had suffered such cruel blows, and her whole life was ruined. Those villains, who had committed countless atrocities, deserved to be torn to pieces a thousand times over! Their deaths would never compensate for the harm done to Naomi.
Evangeline jumped off the white tiger and waded into the sea, immersing herself completely to numb her inner pain.
The white tiger paced restlessly along the shore and roared in distress when it saw that she hadn't surfaced for a long time. Having been bitten by a crocodile before, it feared water and dared not enter. It could only anxiously roar from the shore.
After a long time, the white tiger grew increasingly anxious, fearing she might have drowned. It howled and dug at the sand before quickly running into the sea.
