Chapter 178

Raymond brought Verdic here undoubtedly as an attempt to deal with him.

So, shouldnt she help with the rest?

The effect of the sleeping pills was substantial.

Verdics servants all drank the tea Carynne offered without a second thought. Afterward, they began to complain about various things.

How Verdic had gone insane after Isellas disappearance, how he had been raving for months until he finally calmed down after the arrival of a strand of hair, and so on. They said they tried to dissuade him from coming here, but Verdic made persistent orders that they shouldnt miss a single detail, going on an endless rant.

But those things didnt matter.

What mattered was that Verdic was Carynnes enemy, and they were Verdics subordinates.

She pushed the empty teapot aside. Then she stood up.

Creak.

She scoured the kitchen. What would be the best way?

The first thing that caught her eye in the kitchen was a kitchen knife.

Carynne thought back to her own experiences of death. Could that be used to slit their throats? Where should she stab them? The neck, perhaps. But it seemed like it would be too difficult to finish everything in one go. Killing in one stroke was impossible.

These people would stay in deep slumber for several hours more, so why not take them one by one? They seemed a bit heavy, but if she exerted all her strength, it might not be impossible.

Lets put the meat in the warehouse in the kitchen. Tie them up first and then kill them one by one. Stabbing the throat should be fine.

However, could she properly slash their throats with the kitchen knife?

Carynne looked at the knife in her hand. It wasnt a bad item, but it didnt seem reliable.

Creak.

She opened the door to the warehouse. Drying meat was in view. These were the ones with all their skin removed.

Thunk.

As a test, she tried to stab a dead deer in the throat. Even after its outer skin was already removed, she couldnt manage to drive the blade in properly. It was a matter of lacking strength.

If she were to stab someone at this rate, she would surely just wake them up in the middle, making it more difficult.

Perhaps it could work if those people were properly hooked like this deer here, but she wasnt confident. She was clearly lacking. She needed something that she could properly wield with the strength she had now.

As expected.

Carynne now understood Verdic. Among items other than a gun, that particular one was his favorite.

With an axe, there would be enough force.

To properly sever a persons throat while they were lying down, an axe was the perfect tool for the job.

Kitchen knife, saw, axe wheres the axe?

There. She found it.

A kitchen knife wasnt a good tool at all. If she stabbed a thigh with a kitchen knife, the person would undoubtedly wake up and scream. She had definitely fed them enough drugs that would keep them sleeping, but not to the point that they wouldnt feel a knife being driven into their body.

Carynne agonized over this decision.

She let go.

If he wanted to kill the man in her place, he was more suitable for it. She thought he might be dealing with Verdic right about now, but Raymond was instead here.

Had he already killed Verdic? Was that why he came down to handle the others?

Its not a good place for this. The smell is disgusting. We should go outside.

Raymond picked up the man. Ah, so was he thinking that it was better to do this elsewhere? Had she chosen the wrong location?

She stared at him. He was now carrying the man back to the kitchen and laid him down on the sofa where the others were sleeping.

Hmm, I dont like the look of this man. I dont appreciate this type of face.

Surely, Carrie, this isnt your type of guy, is it?

Raymond, thats not funny.

It was a serious question. I cant change my face, you know.

Raymonds nonchalant banter didnt seem to indicate that he had even a single ounce of intention to kill these people.

She asked him in a hushed tone.

What are you doing right now?

Why, Im releasing these people.

Arent you going to kill them?

Shouldnt we kill them?

Why are you saying such gruesome things?

Raymond!

Hush, Carrie.

Raymond replied playfully and pressed his finger to her lips. Astonished, Carynne glared at his shameless face and bit his finger.

Ouch.

I asked what youre doing right now.

While holding Raymonds hand, she asked again. Raymond, in one fluid motion, took Carynnes hand with his other hand, removing her grip from the weapon.

Since Verdic is still waiting, Ill take the tea to him upstairs. Just wait quietly for now and wake up these people in about thirty minutes. Thats when I plan to let Verdic go.

What?

Ill explain later.

Carynne stared blankly at Raymonds back as he went to deliver the steaming tea himself.

She could not understand Raymond.
