Healing Tower, 13th floor...

Tony, who was on his way to the operating room, suddenly stopped.

His gaze turned toward the locked observation room.

"How did I forget about her?" Tony thought as he opened the door and entered inside with an evil smile.

Lassie, who was tied down with her mouth sealed, stared at Tony Clark with a fearful look.

While staring at her, Tony closed the room door behind him and began approaching her in slow, deliberate steps.

"Mmmm... mmm...!"

Lassie made unbearable sounds through her sealed mouth and tried to move away from Tony. She pushed her body desperately against the floor, trying to escape.

Tony directly placed his foot on her ankle and stopped her sliding body.

"Where are you escaping to, you little snail?" Tony said mockingly as he pulled a chair and sat before her.

Lassie stared at him with a murderous look.

Tony slowly reached toward her face and removed the cloth covering her mouth.

"Kill me if you want. You won’t get anything from me," Lassie said seriously while staring directly at him.

Tony smiled after hearing her cold tone.

"I have many ways to make you talk like a bitch. But I already know who you are and why you attacked me. I still haven’t decided what to do with you. That’s why you’re still alive," Tony said.

"Then kill me. I have no more regrets," Lassie barked out angrily.

"Killing you with one strike is a waste of resources. How funny... that bastard Edward actually sent a beauty like you to me. I heard you are his loyal servant and even handle his personal tasks," Tony said while carefully observing her facial expressions.

"Don’t talk about Edward! He didn’t send me," Lassie replied immediately, as she didn’t want to become an excuse for Tony to target the Ninth Prince Edward Smith.

"Oh, really? Then why the hell did you come to me and use a seductive potion? By any chance, did you fall for my body? Sorry to disappoint you, but I already have a beautiful wife," Tony said with a mocking smile.

"Enough!!! Punish me if you want. Don’t speak nonsense," Lassie cried out angrily. "Who the hell wants to sleep with an evil boy like you?! You’re the lowest scum!"

Tony’s expression changed instantly after hearing her curse.

The smile vanished from his face as he stared at her coldly.

Lassie was intentionally trying to provoke Tony into killing her directly so everything would end quickly.

The thing she feared the most was Tony Clark handing her over to the academy or torturing her for information. In that case, her connection to the Ninth Prince Edward would definitely be exposed.

But after seeing Tony’s cold expression, she suddenly felt fear creeping into her heart.

Without saying another word, Tony calmly stood up and unveiled the golden needle set.

He began arranging all the needles one by one with a serious expression.

"What... what are you doing?" Lassie asked fearfully as she stared at Tony Clark, who was clearly planning something terrifying.

"Of course... turning you into my puppet. A servant like you dared to insult the Clark family prince, so I must punish you properly and make you an example for anyone who dares to raise their voice against me," Tony said coldly as he picked up five needles at once using one hand.

"No... please... kill me if you want!!!" Lassie began begging desperately after seeing Tony preparing something far worse than death.

"Don’t worry. It will be over soon. You won’t feel pain. In fact... you will feel pleasure all over your body," Tony said with a villainous grin as he flicked his fingers.

The next second, the needles landed one after another in perfect sequence:

One on the forehead

One on the neck

One between the chest

One at the navel point

One at her lower region

Lassie immediately felt a chilling sensation spread from every needle point.

Then her body began trembling uncontrollably with overwhelming pleasure.

"What... what did you do to me?!" Lassie asked while laughing uncontrollably like a mad woman being tickled from every corner of her body.

"Ah, don’t worry. It’s just a forbidden technique specially designed for foxy women like you. I’ll come back after some time. Until then... enjoy the pleasure," Tony said with an evil grin before turning around to leave.

"No... please stop this torture!!! I can’t bear it! Please, Tony Clark, I beg you... please!!!" Lassie continued crying desperately.

But Tony simply tied the cloth back around her mouth and left while whistling casually.

Just as Tony closed and locked the room door behind him, he saw Jean White walking toward him.

There was a bright and happy smile on her face. Tony immediately understood that her sister Moni White had most likely awakened completely.

"How is she?" Tony asked as Jean White stopped before him.

"She’s alright. She even spoke with me just now. All thanks to you. Without you, I can’t imagine how my life would have ended already."

"You are my greatest benefactor," Jean White said sincerely as she prepared to bow her head.

"Please don’t do that," Tony said hurriedly as he placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "You also saved my life last night. For that mistake... I still don’t know how to repay you. Please forgive me," Tony apologized softly.

"No... don’t say that. You didn’t do it intentionally. It was also my choice. Everything happened because of an accident."

"In fact... I will remember what happened between us as a happy moment," Jean White replied while staring directly into his eyes.

Tony remained silent for a second after seeing the emotions hidden inside her gaze.

"Lady White, if you want, you can stay with my family. I will arrange proper protection for you. If not, at least allow me to arrange a safe house for you and your sister."

Tony continued speaking, but Jean White interrupted him gently.

"You have already done more than enough for me. Now I will go to my family’s safe house. My ancestors prepared hidden shelters long ago in case our family ever encountered a calamity," Jean White said decisively.

"Then at least wait a few days. I will prepare proper cultivation resources for you," Tony said hurriedly.

"Tony Clark..." she suddenly called out softly.

As Tony stared at her silently, Jean White slowly leaned forward and kissed him.

It was a soft kiss.

A kiss filled with gratitude... and goodbye.

"You are the best thing that has happened to me," she whispered before turning around.

Tony stood frozen in place.

He never expected Jean White to hold such deep feelings toward him.

As he silently watched her leaving figure, he failed to notice the tears slowly falling from her eyes.

Otherwise...

He might have stopped her from leaving.

At that moment, the familiar mechanical voice echoed inside his mind.

"System Quest: Congratulations Host for completing the first task!"
