Chapter 505
Chapter 505
Henderson was taken aback by the question.
He did indeed think she was easy to deal with. Why else would he dare to make a move on her?
Although she was known as the Miraculous Doctor, she still had to surrender in the face of absolute force, right?
That's why he dared to do it!
When he learned that Draxton Lockwood had gone to Southeast Aelinne, he immediately began to plan how to deal with Isabella.
After Draxton shot him, Henderson could not retaliate against Draxton for the time being. Naturally, Isabella Thompson was next on his hit list.
He was even aware that Isabella was Butterfly. Before, even the most formidable assassin would be no match for her. But now that she was pregnant and her strength had significantly diminished, he was completely confident that he could take her down.
But...
How could he forget that Isabella was skilled in bug poison crafting?
No, even if he had remembered, he never would have imagined that Isabella would put up such a big fight!
Henderson was filled with regret, and now the only thing he could do was beg for mercy.
These bugs were so damn scary.
He swore that as long as he could survive today, he would never provoke Isabella Thompson again in his life. He would even go out of his way to avoid her if they crossed paths! Heck, he would just avoid all bugs from now on!
Henderson had always thought of himself as a tough guy. He believed that even if someone held a knife to him and threatened to chop him to pieces, he would not flinch an inch. However, in the face of so many insects, he melted down!
He really broke down.
Because he started crying.
Isabella looked at him in surprise. For a moment, she could not say anything threatening.
She scratched her head in dissatisfaction. "Why are you crying? Do you feel ashamed?"
Henderson trembled uncontrollably while staring at her in horror. He stammered, "Yes, yes, I am an embarrassment. I know I was wrong, Miss Thompson. Please make them all go away!" Isabella Thompson looked around at the swarm of insects and said, "What's the rush?"
"D-do you have anything else you need? Just name it, and I'll do my best!" He stuttered amidst the chattering of his teeth.
Isabella ignored him and looked for Yvette Barker and Isaac Taylor in the crowd.
Despite being surrounded by a swarm of insects, there were no bugs within two feet of them. They remained safe and untouched.
That is why Yvette held back from freaking out although the scene in front of her was just terrifying.
She also managed to stay calm especially after learning that these bugs belonged to Isabella.
Isaac initially felt chills down his spine. But gradually, after witnessing Henderson's miserable state, he felt self-assured and regained some confidence.
Isabella ordered the bodyguards behind, "Take them to the car and send them to the hospital."
The bodyguards behind Stanton Barker froze in fear upon receiving the order as they stared at the sea of bugs on the ground.
They all appeared stunned and avoided all eye contact as if they had not heard anything.
Isabella saw this absurd scene and laughed. "I know you heard me. Stop pretending."
Finally, one of the bodyguards carefully lifted his foot and said with a trembling voice, "We... We can't move..."
"You wouldn't know if you can move until you try to move!" Isabella said helplessly.
The bodyguard turned his face away, looking confused and kept up his clueless pretense.
"Ugh!"
Isabella overwhelmed with exasperation, shouted at Stanton, "Uncle, your people don't listen to me!"
Stanton stared straight ahead as if he had not registered anything Isabella had said.
Isabella was speechless.
She exclaimed, "Uncle, Yvette is injured! These men need to take her!"
The absurdity of the situation left Yvette staring at her father in disbelief.
Only then did Stanton let out a dry cough and said, "Oh, you need to send her to the hospital, right? The few of you, go!"
Looks of dread suddenly dawned on the bodyguards as they slowly took tiny steps forward.
Isabella found that sight amusing.
The swarm of insects scattered to both sides, giving them a passage.
The bodyguards heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Stanton quickly went over to pick up Yvette himself while the bodyguards carried Isaac out.
The bodyguards went ahead to send the two to the hospital. Stanton stayed behind and asked gravely, "Bella, what do you plan to do?"
He glanced at Henderson.
Upon hearing this, Henderson immediately held his breath nervously and stared at Isabella Thompson with wide eyes, afraid to miss any of her reactions. With a slight squint, Isabella suddenly burst into a gentle laugh and said, "Actually, I don't want to kill anyone either!"
Henderson didn't know whether to heave a sigh of relief or to expect the worst.
Isabella opened her palm, and a small red object lay in the centre of her palm.
She approached Henderson and said, "Henderson Lockwood, if you don't want the bugs to burrow under your skin and devour everything within you, swallow this." Henderson looked at what she was holding. A tiny red creature suddenly wriggled and stretched out two little horns. That sight made him uneasy and unwell. Isabella smirked and pushed the bug toward him.
The bug crawled out of her hand and headed straight for Henderson's mouth.
He instinctively clenched his lips, tears streaming down his face as he begged Isabella to stop.
The bug, unable to enter his closed mouth, climbed upwards and successfully burrowed into his nostril.
Henderson's eyes bulged as he screamed.
That howl reflected the extreme horror and fear he was facing.
Thump!
There was a loud bang from above.
Harlow Andrews, who witnessed everything, fell off the ledge above the door.
Prior to this, Harlow had been drinking upstairs, leisurely watching Henderson deal with Isaac and Yvette.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He had even planned that once the Barker family handed over Isabella, he would train her thoroughly to serve the Andrews family and make her submit to him.
The thought of capturing the famous Miraculous Doctor and making him his captive and maid made him excited.
Harlow believed that he was a very ambitious and goal-oriented man.
He was proud of this.
But...
But...
But...
Harlow fell to the ground and felt a swarm of insects underneath him. Some of the bugs unavoidably crawled all over him, and he let out the sharpest and most high-pitched scream of his life.
"Ahh!
"No... Help!"
Earlier, he had discovered countless bugs suddenly appearing beneath his feet, leaving him nowhere to hide. So, he clung onto the ledge above the door with both hands and suspended from it. Although soon after, the walls and door were also covered in insects. It was too late for Harlow as he was stuck there, unable to come down, and had to hold onto the ledge for as long as he could.
He was about to give up when he saw Isabella make a bug crawl into Henderson's nose.
That is when Harlow lost his grip and fell to the ground.
Hence, it led to the above-mentioned scene.
Isabella heard the ruckus and looked up quietly in the direction of the second floor.
She saw that one of the rooms had its door wide open, and a person was crawling up from the ground, screaming, and rushing towards the window like a bat out of hell.
Although it was only on the second floor, at a place like the Sapphire Club, the height of each floor was taller than most, at least twenty feet tall.
Without hesitation, Harlow jumped straight down.
Isabella's mouth twitched.
She was a little angry.
This was an insult, an absolute insult! She was outraged for these insects!
They might be larger in number, but that does not justify such a reaction from these people!
