Although Chase knew that the man in front of him was an impostor, he still instinctively became


    respectful and deferential when facing him, not least due to the naturally powerful aura that he exuded.

    “In that case,” said Stefan, “tell him to keep his word!”


    Without hesitating for another second, he then pushed the door open and tried to head inside.


    “Wait!” Chase stopped Stefan just as he was opening the door, frowning. “Think carefully before you


    barge in! This is the water prison. Once you go in there, you might nevere out alive again, or


    worse, you might suffer a fate far worse than death!”


    “As long as she’s safe, I don’t care.”


    Stefan took a deep breath and still pushed the door open without any hesitation.


    Inside, the water level had already reached Renee’s waist, and in less than five minutes, when it would


    reach her shoulders, at least 500 snakes, bugs, and rats would be released automatically through the


    holes. There would soon be plenty of venomous snakes in there, so the situation was dreadfully urgent


    right now.


    “Renee!” Stefan’s heart tightened as soon as he saw Renee all chained up, and it made him shout out


    her name at the top of his lungs.


    “You… You really came?”


    Renee had been waiting for so long that was about to doze off. She thought that the man was definitely


    never going to show up, so she was just about to give up when the man really came to save her! She


    was moved to tears. All the doubts about how he might have just been ying with her heart in the


    past vanished in an instant.


    “I’ve been looking for you for so long! Why weren’t you willing to see me? Why did you have to give me


    up to Stefan Hunt? I’ve got so many things to say to you, and so many questions to ask. I…”


    “Stop talking! The water level will reach a dangerous level soon! You have to get out of there right


    now!”


    Stefan knew more than anyone else how barbarous water torture actually was, so in the four years that


    he ran Carmine Pawnshop, he ordered for this area to be sealed offpletely. If he had known that


    the psychopath Q would resume the torture technique so soon after he returned, he would have


    ordered for it to be destroyed a long time ago!


    Without taking off his clothes, Stefan dived straight into the water prison and rushed to Renee’s side.


    He then tried to unchain her with all his might.


    By then, Renee was so cold that her lips had turned pale, and her whole body was soaking wet, yet her


    eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Stefan with great stirring emotions and told him, “You


    must’ve known that you’re walking into a trap, yet you still came to save me! This proves that your


    feelings for me were genuine, so you must have a really good reason for not showing up when we were


    supposed to get married, right? Were you coerced by that bastard Stefan Hunt?”


    Stefan remained silent, though he was breathing rapidly as he attempted to undo the chains that were


    trapping Renee in there. Despite being in the water, he was sweating profusely from anxiety.


    “Don’t worry too much! I’ll be fine. In fact, it’s all just a trick to lure you out. You…”


    Renee was so moved that she was about to confess everything to Stefan, but just then, all the lights in


    the water prison turned on, and half a dozen burly men barged in.


    “It’s time! Chain him up!”


    Quinton stood on the highest spot in the room and peered down haughtily at the two people inside the


    water prison. Meanwhile, Chase was standing by his side.


    “Wh-What’s going on here? Chase… Didn’t you tell me that we’d be dealing with this matter alone?


    How…”


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Everheart. There are some things that I can’t control.”


    Chase sighed in regret.


    Next, the burly men then chained Stefan up at the spot where Renee originally stood.
