Chapter 504
Upon arriving at Sapphire Club, Stanton took the lead and barged his way in.
When Mr, Lockwood saw Stanton, he could not help but clap and laugh.
"Mr. Barker, did I not make myself clear? The person I want is Isabella Thompson. Why are you here instead? Are you here to meet your Maker?"
Stanton's gaze swept across Yvette's face. When he saw what a wreck she was, his face turned black.
Next, he saw Isaac at the side. Once again, there was a subtle change in his expression. He then looked at Henderson and said, "Mr. Henderson Lockwood, don't you think it's despicable to do something like that?"
Henderson shook his head, then said, "Since it's a way of getting what I want, is there a need for you to categorize it as noble or despicable?
Mr. Barker, you cannot be thinking that you can rescue the lady with these bodyguards, can you?
"Let me repeat for your benefit. Bring Isabella Thompson to me in exchange for Yvette Barker. There is no room for negotiation!" As Henderson spoke, he looked to one of his men and said, "Go, chop off one o Miss Barker's hands now!"
Someone immediately went over to Yvette Barker.
"Stop!" Isaac shouted angrily. He attempted to pounce over, but someone immediately stopped him by clasping his arms behind his back.
Stanton Barker shouted angrily, "Get moving!"
Without further ado, Stanton and his bodyguards charged at the other party.
The two groups immediately started fighting.
It was unquestionable that Stanton Barker was at the losing end.
Stanton was a businessman who did not have much experience in fights. Amidst the chaos, someone bumped into him, causing him to fall hard on his bum onto the ground.
He looked up with an awful expression and glared at Henderson. At the same time, he was hoping that the bodyguard who went to get more help would hurry up.
At this moment, he subtly felt something moving under him.
He looked down and immediately shuddered in fear.
He saw a colorful sea of bugs crawling all around him. He could not describe the array of colors before his eyes, nor could he put any names to the species of bugs. They were all surging toward him like the incontrollable waves of a raging sea.
He could even feel things moving under his butt. He felt goosebumps all over his body and shot up to his feet like a rocket.
Then, he saw the bugs squashed under him a moment ago scurry off. It almost seemed they were all relieved to be released. Stanton stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move at all.
And it was because he was afraid that he would step on the bugs with even the slightest move he made.
The two groups of people who were fighting also stopped moving. Those bugs seemed to be moving towards Henderson's men purposefully. Stanton felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the bugs climbing up and all over Henderson's men. They instantly became humanoid worms. He did not know how to describe the feeling he had.
The sight was overwhelmingly unbearable, and Stanton felt compelled to shut his eyes tight.
Stanton's bodyguards were also so shocked that they were at a loss.
Henderson's smug expression gradually froze and was soon replaced by a horrified expression.
And it was because an army of bugs was swarming toward him.
"Don't come over, don't come over, don't..." he roared. Unfortunately for him, all of his men were covered in bugs. There was no one available to come to his rescue. The bugs began to make their way up Henderson's body, starting from beneath his feet.
Soon, the bugs crawled up his waist, then proceeded up his chest.
Henderson's eyes bulged in horror. He was on the brink of a mental breakdown as he watched the bugs relentlessly attacking him while screaming his head off. Just as Henderson thought he would disappear within the sea of bugs crawling all over him, they suddenly stopped. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button. A fearful Henderson let out a long breath of relief. He was pale in the face, with tears in his eyes.
To be honest, it was scary. It was terrifying.
Yet, it was not the end. When Henderson looked up, he saw all kinds of bugs crawling all over the walls, stairs, decorations, and even the coffee table in front of him. Not only bugs but there were also poisonous snakes and other inexplicable things.
Henderson soon realized that the bugs had infested the entire Sapphire Club.
At this moment, a strange and shocking scene came to play.
The bugs suddenly split into two, opening up a path in the middle.
Everyone's gaze trailed the open path. And at the entrance, two figures had appeared quietly without anyone realizing it.
Standing in front was a woman. She dressed casually and comfortably.
Who else could it be but Isabella Thompson?
Behind her was a dazed-looking bodyguard.
Stanton was shocked and exclaimed, "Bella, what are you doing here? You came alone?"
Isabella smiled and said, "We also have so many of my little cuties here with us, don't we?"
Stanton looked around at the sea of bugs all over the place. And when he looked at Isabella again, there was a look of awe in his eyes.
In the future, the mere sight of Isabella would probably make him recall the scene he witnessed today.
It was honestly just too shocking!
"Isabella Thompson, you...!"
Mr. Lockwood's voice was trembling, all sense of arrogance lost. All that was left was fear as he begged for mercy.
Isabella could not help but laugh.
She sized him up, then asked, "You're Henderson Lockwood?"
Henderson hurriedly nodded. He looked at the bugs on his body and begged, "Isa... No, Madam! Miraculous Doctor! Please, spare me!"
Isabella raised her brows and said, "Didn't you say you wanted me in exchange for Yvette?"
"I was wrong. I know I've done wrong. Miraculous Doctor, please, let me go. I will not do something like this again."
It was not that he was a coward. But rather, for anyone to be covered by so many bugs, who knew if these bugs would burrow their way into one's body? The mere thought of it made Henderson shudder. Isabella clicked her tongue and said, "Why would you want to do something like that? You might know that I am a bug master. And one of the most powerful skills of a formidable bug master..."
Isabella smiled and teasingly said, "Wherever a bug master passes, so long as there are bugs, the bug master will have a seemingly inexhaustible army of soldiers. Tell me. How many bugs do you think there are in this city? Or rather, how many of such little cuties are in this city?"
Isabella gestured to her surroundings.
Henderson's eyes were full of fear, and he could not help but tremble.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Isabella looked at him and said disdainfully, "So enlighten me. Why did you even try to mess with me? Am I such a pushover?"
