For five minutes straight, Tony continued to stare at Lassie with a serious look.

He was not enjoying it, but observing her closely from head to toe. This was also his first time executing this type of torture technique. Lassie’s good luck was that she was a female. That’s why she experienced pleasure. In the case of a male, the pleasure could have become a nightmarish pain.

Lassie continued to beg in a shaky tone while controlling the pleasure with all her will.

"Please kill me... mmmm-!"

Tony finally moved. With a flick of his wrist, he began removing the golden needles one by one.

Lassie felt like she was waking up from a nightmare as the needles left her body.

After removing all five needles, Tony stood up and began mixing some herbs without looking at Lassie.

Lassie still lay flat on the floor like a detached flower. She didn’t have even a speck of energy left to move her fingers.

Only her eyes stared at Tony with a look of fear. She felt like a gun was pointed at her when Tony prepared some herb mixture.

"No... no... no..." Her pale, unwilling voice continued to beg.

"P-Please spare me, t...ton... Tony Clark." She tried to move her fingers to catch his feet, but failed to lift her hand even a few inches.

"I’m sorry... Master Tony, spare me." With all her will, she finally muttered a few words.

Tony slowly turned his head and stared at her with an evil grin.

"You should have thought twice before calling me a scumbag," Tony said. He picked up the herb mixture, which now looked like a small pill inside the white pestle.

"I am the scumbag. Please spare me," Lassie begged in a pleading tone.

Tony leaned down to the floor and lifted her head with one hand.

"No... no... please no!!!" Lassie continued to cry out unwillingly.

Ignoring her pleading, Tony picked up the small herb pill and directly pushed it into her mouth.

Lassie tried her best not to swallow the herbal pill. But to her nightmare, the pill turned into liquid inside her mouth, and the sour taste forced her throat to swallow it.

"What is it? What did you do to me?" Lassie asked in a shaky tone, as there was no reaction even after a minute. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Oh! This is the Poison of Pleasure. Don’t worry, it won’t do anything for one year. But after one year, if I don’t give you the antidote, you will feel the same pleasure you experienced till now," Tony said casually as he sat back on the revolving chair.

Lassie’s mind went numb as she recalled the pleasure of the nightmare.

"No, please kill me if you want, but don’t do this. I can’t bear it. Please kill me directly." Lassie began pleading as she rolled her body and reached his feet.

"Why are you begging? You have one full year to live happily. Go and live! If you come back after one year, maybe... just maybe... I will give you the antidote after forgetting all your drama," Tony said while looking down at her.

"No, I won’t believe you. Rather than living this life, I prefer death. I can’t bear the torture a second time," Lassie said while gritting her teeth.

"Then go on, kill yourself. Why are you begging me to kill you? What should I do? Bloody my hands? I am the good person here, giving you a full year to live and an opportunity to kill yourself. Rather than begging me to kill you, you better do it yourself," Tony said as he produced a dagger from his storage ring and casually tossed it before her.

Lassie didn’t have the energy to pick up the dagger. She remained silent for a long time, staring at the dagger and Tony’s face.

Even after a long time, she couldn’t do it herself.

"What are we waiting for? If you kill yourself right now, I’ll guarantee that I won’t do anything to your sister Rosie," Tony finally dropped the bomb!

Lassie’s mind went blank. She couldn’t believe that Tony Clark actually knew about her sister Rosie. Even the Imperial Family or the Ninth Prince Edward had no clue about Lassie’s origins and close relatives.

"How... how did you know about my sister?" Lassie asked in a trembling tone.

"Not only your sister, I even know where you come from and where your family lives. Do you think that if you live in the mountains, nobody can find you? My family has a vast network which even the Imperial Family can’t compete with," Tony said with a proud smile.

Lassie became silent after hearing Tony. For a second, she thought Tony was bluffing, but soon she shook her head because Tony had clearly spoken her sister Rosie’s name.

"If I kill myself, will you really spare my family and sister?" she asked before picking up the dagger from the ground.

"Yes, I promise," Tony said with a casual smile.

Lassie finally mustered up the courage to lift the dagger with all her-strength.

Just as she pushed it against her throat, Tony interrupted.

"Wait... I might have another opportunity for you," Tony said while staring into her tear-filled eyes.

"What is it? Tell me. I will do anything to save my sister," Lassie begged while cupping both her hands together.

"Go and infiltrate the Imperial Family. Give me any crucial information you find. As long as you provide good intel for me, I won’t take any action against you or your family members. How is it? Are you willing?" Tony asked as he offered her a hand of help.

Lassie remained silent, and her eyes fell on Tony’s stretched hand.

For five years, she had served the Imperial Family and advised the Ninth Prince Edward with all her will and support. But what did she get in the end...?! Edward had actually forced her into this situation.

Now she had fallen to the point where she was becoming a pawn under Tony Clark.

"I will do it."

"What? I didn’t hear you."

Lassie stared directly into Tony’s eyes and used his stretched hand to stand up.

"I will do it. I will become your trusted spy inside the Imperial Family," Lassie said in a determined tone.

Tony smiled and offered her a Life Energy Pill as she struggled to stand.

What Lassie didn’t know was that the Poison of Pleasure pill was just a trick created by Tony. But the real threat was that Tony knew about Lassie’s sister Rosie.
