Chapter 374
"Ah... What are you doing? Let go of me! Get away from me!"
Everyone had the fear of the unknown, especially after watching what happened to the other two people just now, and it aroused endless fear within them.
Damian took out a small glass bottle filled with white powder. No one knew what it was. He opened the bottle and sprinkled the powder on the grass beneath him.
Soon, Damian drew a circle with the white powder that could contain five or six adults, tied up one of Rose's men, picked her up and threw her into the circle.
Another man came over with a black bag in his hand. He stood outside the circle, waiting for orders. With a cold smile, Derek looked at the screaming and struggling woman in the circle, "Don’t worry. You will definitely be satisfied with this punishment.”
"Since you like snakes so much, I'll just let them play with you."
His words drifted into Rose's ears. Rose froze, and then realized something. Her face turned pale and she screamed at the top of her lungs, shaking her head continuously.
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie were standing outside the circle, their faces distorted. No matter how they begged for mercy, it was to no avail, so they could only watch their only daughter suffer.
Liam broke out in a cold sweat, but he said no more and made no effort to save Rose. Since there was nothing he could do, why bother? He had already figured it out.
Hardly had Derek's voice faded away than his man stepped forward with the black bag. He opened the bag and flipped it hard. Suddenly, thin and long shadows were poured down one by one, falling on Rose's face and body.
Ah...
People began to scream in fear one after another again, but their screams were soon overwhelmed by Rose's cry of despair.
The guests had thought that the two waiters already had a miserable end, but at this moment, what was happening was really shocking.
Because of the powder, the snakes were unable to leave the circle. Besides, the ropes wrapped around Rose's wrists and ankles were soaked with a kind of unique medicine.
The medicine had no special effects, but had a strong attraction for snakes
Everyone watched in horror. The black snakes kept wriggling around over Rose's body with excitement in the circle, burrowing beneath her gown up and down.
People were terrified by the scene, not to mention Rose, the person involved.
It indeed was a brutal way to deal with such a young girl who just came of age, but Derek couldn't care less.
When he thought of the moment he saw Nora once he entered the dressing room just now, he wished he could kill Rose.
The originally lively banquet still looked festive. So many people gathered together, but remained quiet, an indelible chill running down their backs.
They knew that this scene would never be erased from their memories.
Mrs. Leslie was so scared that she cried and fainted.
"You should be grateful that the snakes you asked your people to catch were harmless, otherwise..." Derek's faint voice rang out again.
Although he didn't finish his words, everybody understood what he meant. If these snakes were venomous, Rose would definitely have been a thousand times more miserable now.
Rose was unable to answer him. She could not even hear the noises around her. There was nothing else within her but great fear.
The sticky feeling all over her body, the lingering stinking smell, and the snakes’ hisses in her ears... All of this was like a spell to her, blocking her mind.
Rose was so terrified that she blacked out.
Derek narrowed his eyes and snorted, "You're lucky to have fainted. Otherwise, I'll make you swallow these snakes."
His words made the people present pale as a ghost.
No one doubted his words, and no one dared to challenge him. What happened just now was enough to prove that he would put his words into action.
The crowd couldn't help but imagine the scene where these snakes were stuffed into the mouth alive.
"Eww..."
Most of the female guests covered their mouths, their stomachs churning.
Almost all the rich and famous ladies in J City gathered here today. However, this scene made these girls, who had held romantic expectations of Derek, give up the idea quickly.
They only considered Derek as a terror right now. Even his handsome face couldn't erase the indelible impression that he had left in their mind tonight.
Now that he had avenged Nora, Derek naturally did not stay any longer. Without even saying a word, he strode away with his assistant and men, and no one dared to stop him.
Everyone was relieved since the devil had gone.
"Rose?"
A piercing scream split the air. Everyone was startled, only to see Mr. Leslie running towards Rose screaming and throwing away the snakes all over her body.
If it were in the past, he would have been terrified to see these snakes, but now, he couldn't care less. He was afraid that something would happen to his only daughter.
Although these snakes were harmless, who could guarantee that nothing would happen if his daughter was bitten and thus intoxicated with snake venom?
Now that the devil, Derek had gone, the crowd began to recover and calm down. Seeing this scene, they didn’t leave at once, but drew closer to Rose and Mr. Leslie slowly, showing sympathy for him. "Doctor, call the doctor. Rose, don't scare me."
Liam shuddered and came to his senses suddenly, asking the servant to call the doctor at once. The people coming today were all big shots. Therefore, Liam got everything ready for the party, and the family doctor lived in the manor, just in case.
The family doctor arrived soon. Since he was upstairs in the manor, he knew roughly what was happening downstairs.
He examined Rose's body, and then checked her look and pupils. When her eyelids were lifted, a few eagle-eyed guests among the crowd saw something and were startled.
No one had noticed it before Rose fainted, but now people saw that her eyes were bloodshot. Not only that, but the white of her eyes was covered with tiny blood vessels, which looked very scary. The family doctor looked grim. "These eyes..."
Mr. Leslie was shocked. "Doctor, what do you mean by that? What happened to my daughter's eyes?"
The family doctor sighed. He saw what happened to Rose just now. At this moment, his speculation was confirmed by this pair of bloodshot eyes.
