Chapter 826
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Stefanâs gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile. âYour martial arts skills are quite impressive, so thatâs not surprising.â
He had long guessed that Renee was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Everheart family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyoneâs minds if she were to be found out.
However, the man never found enough concrete evidence to rip that mask off. Thus, he was very excited to hear her reveal her secrets.
âReally now?â Renee cracked her knuckles and approached the bed, smirking coldly. âAre you not afraid that youâd be my next target? After all, you canât move. A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldnât have to negotiate senselessly with you.â
She then placed two fingers on the manâs neck, as quick as lightning. âIâll be honest, the last man who died in my hands was way stronger than you. But my thumb and pointer finger were enough to snap his neck in an instant. The way his tongue fell out was similar to those horror movies too!â After revealing this information, Renee hoped that Stefan could finally see just how cruel and cold-blooded she could be, and would voluntarily distance himself from her.
Unfortunately, it seemed that she had achieved the complete opposite instead.
Stefan didnât seem scared at all, and his eyes filled with admiration as he asked, âDid you really snap someoneâs neck using only two fingers?â
Renee was dumbfounded. âIs this guy for real? Why is he focusing on that instead?â
âAccording to my knowledge, there are no more than five people who have that kind of strength, and those people are quite infamous for their crimes. Donât tell me youâre one of them?â Stefan looked as if he was teasing her, but was actually trying to fish information out of her.
Only then did Renee realize how rash she had been, nearly exposing her hidden identity right then.
The man only needed a bit of research to see who had been recently killed with just two fingers. With that, heâd be able to realize that she was one of the most infamous, ruthless bounty hunters â Frost.
However, now that things had played out this way, she didnât feel the need to hide anymore. âThatâs right, I am. Scared, huh? Just so you know, I have a lot of blood on my hands, so I canât be your innocent, gentle little housewife. If youâre smart, youâd agree to a divorce right now, and we can both have our happy endings. And⦠if you ever need to assassinate someone, I can give you a twenty percent discount!â
Renee refused to believe that a meticulous man like Stefan would still want to stay married to a cruel murderer who prioritized profits.
âSo youâve been beating around the bush, even going as far as exposing yourself, all because you wanted to convince me to get a divorce?â Stefan smiled widely. âWell, I do love challenges. Think about it⦠The infamous, terrifying bounty hunter Frost⦠as my wife! Donât you see how cool that sounds?
And that just means more protection for me. Who would even dare to give me trouble when I have you as my wife?â
Renee instantly became speechless after hearing Stefanâs âopen-mindedâ explanation. She thought to herself, âIs this man mad? He is, isnât he?â
âArenât you very picky? How can you be so accepting now? You know I like someone else, you know I like violence, you know my hands are drenched in blood, and that I am a greedy, ruthless murderer!
How could you not mind at all?â Renee started backing away from him, absolutely stupefied. âI really suggest you get your brain checked.â
âDonât you think itâs possible that I just donât mind any side of you⦠because itâs you?â Stefan asked finally.
