“Sorry, I was abrupt,” Strelar said very gentlemanly, offering a smile, and then he turned to leave.
However, as he turned away, he made a slight move with the hand by his side.
A drop of transparent liquid flicked from his fingertip into the food Nan Yan was eating.
He was determined to obtain that ginseng root.
A shadow of gloom passed through Nan Yan’s eyes as she witnessed this act right in front of her.
Doing such a thing in front of her, using underhanded methods like poisoning, wasn’t that like showing off one’s lack of skill in front of an expert?
However, because of this move, Nan Yan also recognized his identity.
He couldn’t compete with her for the ginseng root, so now he was resorting to sneakier tactics?
She lowered her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Pretending not to notice, she continued eating.
However, she didn’t touch the part of the meal that Strelar had tampered with. After waiting for five minutes, she suddenly slumped onto the table.
Seeing her affected, Strelar, who had been sitting nearby, smirked with a touch of melancholy and got up to approach her.
The hidden bodyguards in the background wanted to step in but Nan Yan signaled them to stay back for now, and they continued to observe.
If Nan Yan showed any signs of danger, they would rush to her aid in the quickest possible time.
Strelar helped Nan Yan up and led her out of the banquet hall.
Seeing this scene, nobody approached them.
People in this foreign country were more open-minded. Moreover, Strelar’s appearance was simply too outstanding for anyone to think of him as a rogue or pervert.
The bodyguards followed nervously.
Next to the banquet hall, there were many resting rooms.
Strelar took Nan Yan to one of them and placed her on the sofa.
He squatted in front of her, his deep blue eyes locking onto her own.
An anomaly occurred.
Strange ripples appeared in his pupils, and he used his mesmerizing tone to speak, “Now, I am your master.”
“You must Obey my every command without question.”
Nan Yan’s eyes suddenly sparkled with a fierce light, and an intimidating aura burst forth from her in that instant.
She kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground, and then stepped on his chest, coldly looking down at him. “You think you’re worthy of being my master?”
She hadn’t expected him to use hypnosis.
Fortunately, her mental strength was strong enough. Just as she was about to be hypnotized, she forcefully broke free and regained her clarity.
She was still experiencing sharp, pounding headaches.
But on the surface, there was no sign of it.
Strelar, however, was in a worse state.
Forcibly breaking free from her hypnosis and getting interrupted, he suffered a backlash.
His consciousness was in complete chaos now. It was as if someone was stirring his brain matter with a stick, turning it into a paste.
The pain distorted his facial features, but he paid no mind to being trampled underfoot by Nan Yan. Instead, he continuously banged his head against the ground, attempting to alleviate the intense agony.
The tightly closed door burst open.
The bodyguards had heard the commotion from inside and barged in without hesitation.
If Nan Yan were in any danger, they wouldn’t hesitate to go through hell and back to protect her.
“Miss Nan, are you alright?”
Nan Yan furrowed her brow, withdrew her foot, and sat back on the sofa, speaking lightly, “I’m fine.”
Strelar hadn’t recovered from the backlash yet. His head was bleeding from the self-inflicted blows, and the ground was stained with his blood.
In this state, even if she wanted to ask questions, she wouldn’t be able to.
“Miss Nan, what’s wrong with him?” The bodyguards looked a bit alarmed.
Everything was fine just moments ago, so why was he now engaging in self-harm?
Nan Yan massaged her throbbing head and replied in a weak voice, “Mental backlash.”
The bodyguards exchanged puzzled glances.
It seemed they had discovered another remarkable side of Miss Nan.
After about ten minutes, Strelar finally regained his senses from the excruciating pain of wanting to smash his head into pieces.
In such a short time, he had virtually gone through hell and lost half his life.
“Who are you?” Strelar asked, raising his head in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with deep fear.
The bodyguards sneered, “Someone you shouldn’t have offended.”
“Do you know who I am?” Strelar didn’t look at the bodyguards, his gaze full of malevolence directed at Nan Yan.
Initially, he only wanted to get the ginseng.
But now, he had changed his mind. He wanted Nan Yan to suffer a fate worse than death!
A woman who could break free from his hypnosis and severely damage his nerves couldn’t be allowed to live!
Nan Yan became intrigued, “So, who are you?”
Strelar was about to speak but suddenly remembered something, so he closed his mouth. “Why should I tell you? You have no right to know.”
“Heh…” Nan Yan chuckled, looking at him as if he were a fool. “I’ll decide whether you should tell me.”
Since he had piqued her curiosity, she had to find out.
She turned her head to the bodyguards standing beside her. “Can you interrogate him?”
The bodyguards nodded hastily. “Miss Nan, this is our specialty.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Nan Yan pointed at Strelar. “Extract all of his secrets..”
