Chapter 997

She giggled, a beautiful smile blossoming on her face.

“Karma? Have you gone mad or something? What are you talking about?” He continued to gape at her.

“You’re the crazy one! You bullied me yesterday, knowing that you’re more powerful than me. Did you forget about it? Now the tables have turned and it’s time for me to get my revenge!” She grinned mischievously.

“What? Wh- What are you going to do?” He paled, realizing that Ruth held a grudge over what happened the day before.

“What do you think? You scared me when you proposed to kill me yesterday! I’m going to torture you today or I won’t be able to let this go!” She gritted out as she cracked her knuckles.

“You’re going to torture me? I’m sick in bed and you want to do that to an ill person?” He questioned helplessly, all the while reminding himself internally not to cross a woman.

“I can spare you! I’ll give you one chance to give me the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method, and I’ll let you live!” She smirked smugly.

She only meant to scare Leon and aimed to obtain the full Mysterious Maiden Method taking advantage of his weakened state.

“So that’s what you are after!” He said with realization and refused without hesitation. “No way! I’ll never give you the other half of it. Give up!”

“How stubborn! How dare you argue with me when you are this weak?! I guess you won’t give up show you what I’m capable of!” Frustrated, she pinched him on the waist and twisted.

Leon gasped in pain and roared, “Just wait, Ruth Collins! Once I recover, I’m going to make I’m going to make you pay for this!”

“Who are you trying to scare? I’m not scared of you! Did you forget that you and Iris only survived last night. because I went to my grandpa and brought him to your rescue in time? I saved your life and if you hurt me, you’ll be harming someone who did you a favor! Do you want to be an ungrateful scum?”

She scoffed.

After what happened the night before, she could tell that Leon was a man who valued his friends and took his responsibilities seriously, so she knew that he would never hurt her since she helped him.

“Well,” Leon was rendered speechless, because Ruth was right about how she and the Collins saved his life.

On top of that, Ruth was also the one who risked her life to save Iris when Harold tried to capture Iris to threaten him.

After what Ruth did for him, he would never hurt her even after he recovered.

“Well? You don’t have anything else to say for yourself, do you?” She smirked and pinched him once again. This is the last time I’m asking. Are you giving me the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method?”
