Chapter 856:

“Still want to negotiate?”

Etta shook her head wildly in response.

The electric shock, combined with Harlee’s harsh kick, sent a chill through Etta, leaving her body trembling. She felt as though she were on the edge of death, every bone and muscle overwhelmed by excruciating pain. She trembled uncontrollably from both pain and fear. Negotiating was the last thing she could think of now. The pain was so severe that dying seemed a better option.

Etta writhed on the floor, battling to keep her shaking body under control. She then forcefully banged her head against the floor. This was the only way she could show her determination, as she was unable to speak.

Harlee stood quietly not too far off.

Only after Etta’s head had started bleeding did Harlee move toward her again.

Harlee took out another pair of disposable gloves, squatted down, and realigned Etta’s jaw.

“Say it now.”

Though it was just a trio of simple words, to Etta, they sounded like a lifeline. She dared not waste a word.

“Hale is connected to a pharmaceutical expert who had forced both Lindsay and me to take something called the ‘Bloodthirstiness Pill.’ If you doubt my words, feel free to have a doctor examine me.” Etta had never spoken so quickly in her life.

Etta had first heard about the Bloodthirstiness Pill from Lindsay. Lindsay had called Etta right after kidnapping Harlee.

Initially skeptical, Etta’s doubts faded when Lindsay described symptoms that mirrored her own, making her realize she was merely a tool in Hale’s plans.

Etta was clever. Upon meeting Lucretia, she instantly sensed Lucretia was no ordinary person. She secretly listened in on Lucretia’s discussions with Hale and discovered that Lucretia had supplied Hale with pills.

By piecing these details together, she quickly figured out what was going on.

Hearing Etta’s confession, Tonya and Harlee exchanged looks, both spotting disbelief in the other’s eyes.

A pharmaceutical expert? Could there really be someone capable of creating such a vile poison as the ‘Bloodthirstiness Pill’? It seemed they needed to investigate further and root out this malignant force.

Harlee spoke coldly, “Continue.”

Etta quickly proceeded, explaining how she had connected with Hale through Lindsay and detailing every task she had performed under Hale’s command, leaving no details out.

Even with her throat parched, Etta continued, “I only know Hale has an obsession with a woman. This is well-known among Hale’s subordinates, yet her identity remains a mystery. Lucretia’s background is complicated. I once heard her express a desire to avenge her late husband. Lucretia has a daughter.

Her name escapes me.

All I know is that Lucretia adores her and would do anything for her.”

After speaking, Etta fell silent, her gaze fixed on Harlee and Tonya. Their expressions were blank, showing no emotion, which made her wonder if they were displeased with the information she had given. She strained her mind, desperately trying to remember anything she might have overlooked.

Finally, Etta added, “Oh, yes. Lucretia’s daughter seems knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals. No. Wait! I believe the pharmaceutical expert is Lucretia’s daughter, and Lucretia just handles the communication with Hale.”
