Chapter 123 Skin You Alive

While Gary was deep in thought, he noticed Kenneth coming over. “Don’t move!” the former roared.

Seeing the dagger placed right in front of Natasha’s neck, Kenneth continued to walk forward

nonchalantly.

“I said don’t move! Didn’t you hear me?”

Gary pressed the knife against Natasha’s skin, causing a trail of blood to trickle down her neck.

Kenneth’s eyes narrowed as he saw that. With a darkened gaze, he pressed the tip of his tongue

against his teeth and raised both arms. “Okay, I’m the one you’re after, so what’s the point of capturing

her? Why don’t you just let me and her switch places?”

At that very moment, Anthony and Thalia arrived just in time to witness that sight.

“Mommy!”

Thalia quickly grabbed onto Anthony before the boy could dash over. “Wait. Let’s see what happens

next.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“But-”

“This guy is an outlaw. You’d just be giving up your own life by going there, and he’d still hold your

mommy hostage. Are you trying to help him?” Thalia asked.

Hearing that, Anthony gripped his fists tightly and glared in Gary’s direction. “If he dares hurt my

mommy, I’m going to skin him alive!”

Meanwhile, Gary glanced at Kenneth before turning to the woman he was holding captive. “You want to

swap places with her?”

“Isn’t it obvious? How could I not protect my woman?” Kenneth smirked while staring at him insidiously.

“Lay another finger on her, and I guarantee I’ll skin you alive.”

Natasha pursed her lips. The look in her eyes grew increasingly complex, but she still insisted, “This

has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and leave.”

“Shut up. Just wait for me there.” Kenneth glanced at her.

Gary laughed at the sight of the two still finding the time to engage in a couple’s squabble, and he

peered at Kenneth with a lowered gaze, the whites of his eyes looking terrifying.

“Why don’t you start by begging me then? I might just say yes.”

Kenneth shrugged. “Fine. Tell me what I have to do.”

“It’s simple. Stab yourself with a knife. It’ll make me happy.”

Kenneth’s expression darkened.

Anthony’s brows furrowed as he heard the conversation from outside.

“Tsk, tsk… This is just too cruel. It’s like a suspense drama!” Thalia grumbled.

Beads of sweat rolled down Anthony’s forehead as he stared into the room, unable to stop himself from

tensing up.

“Kenneth…” Natasha shook her head while gazing at the man broodingly.

“Why? Are you worried about me?” Kenneth asked before smiling at her mischievously. “Don’t worry. I’ll

be fine.”

Then, he turned to Gary. “How am I supposed to stab myself when the knife is with you? It’s not like I

carry one wherever I go.”

“There’s a fruit knife by the bedside,” Gary responded, signaling the other man to grab it.

He had noticed the knife while trying to kill Natasha earlier.

There was a hint of surprise in the way Kenneth eyed him.

He may be mentally ill, but that doesn’t make him an idiot.

In fact, he’s a lot smarter than I expected.

With a nod, Kenneth walked toward the bed.

Gary watched him closely while continuing the press the dagger against the woman’s neck, lest

Kenneth tried anything funny.

Upon reaching the bedside, Kenneth noted that there was indeed a knife used for cutting fruit.

He picked it up.

“Okay, you can get started now. I’ll let her go right after you poke yourself with that!” Gary remarked

gloatingly.

Kenneth’s face clouded over as he stared at the knife.

“Well, it’s fine if you’re too scared to do it. I’m going to kill you after getting rid of her anyway.” While

speaking, Gary slowly ran the blade across Natasha’s arm.

The woman frowned while clenching her teeth, but not a sound escaped her lips.

Kenneth’s eyes widened as he saw that, and he immediately pierced his abdomen with the knife.

“Don’t touch her!” he warned, glaring at the madman.

“Kenneth…” Natasha gazed at him, unable to conceal the conflict in her eyes.

Seeing that, Gary raised an eyebrow. “Your love really knows no bounds, huh? But still, I don’t think a

tiny stab like that would hurt you much, would it?”

Watching Gary’s dagger wander around Natasha’s body, Kenneth stabbed himself once more without a

second thought and shot the former a glare. “Are you happy now? Or do you want me to do it again?”

“Hahahaha!” Gary’s menacing laugh echoed across the room.

Anthony’s eyes reddened as he watched the spectacle from outside.

“Oh, God. He actually stabbed himself,” Thalia muttered.

Then, she stopped Anthony from barging into the room. “Call the cops. I’ll take care of things here.”

“But-”

“Can you even take him down if you were to get in there?” Thalia retorted.

Anthony’s eyes widened. “I’ll leave Mommy… and Kenneth to you then,” he eventually replied, well

aware he would be of no help.

Thalia’s lips curled slightly. “Attaboy. Go make that call.”

Anthony ran off to call the police.

Meanwhile, Kenneth clutched his abdomen. Despite his body looking like a bloody mess and the

crimson liquid seeping through his grip, the man looked as attractive as ever. “Let her go now. I’ll take

her place.”

Natasha jumped in before Gary could respond. “Stay out of my business, Kenneth! I don’t want to owe

you anything. You’d better get out of here right now!” she screamed, her voice shaking.

Kenneth gazed at her with a smirk. “We’re meant to be indebted to each other for the rest of our lives.

None of us can ever run away.”

Natasha’s eyes turned red at his statement.

“Wow! How in love the two of you must be. In that case, I’ll do you a favor and take you both out!” Gary

exclaimed as he prepared to slash Natasha’s throat.

Suddenly, Thalia barged into the room.

“That’s right! Kill that woman!” she yelled.

Gary froze momentarily before turning to Thalia. “And who are you?” he questioned, his eyes

narrowing.

Thalia scoffed. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that this woman gave my younger sister

depression and caused her to jump to her death. I’ve come to avenge my sister today!”

“She killed your sister too?” Gary was suddenly filled with pity.

“It was both of them, to be precise,” Thalia answered, glancing at both Natasha and Kenneth. “This

heartless man was supposed to be with my sister, but he ended up choosing this woman instead. That

was how my sister became depressed and killed herself. Kenneth Hamilton and Natasha Watson,

you’re going to pay for everything that has happened!”

While speaking, she secretly shot Kenneth a hinting glance.

“So, you’ve experienced the same thing I have,” Gary commented morosely.

“That’s right. Who knows how many families these two have ruined! That’s why it’s about time they

meet their fates,” Thalia insisted.

Gary was pleased to hear that. “You are right. In that case, let’s kill them. We have to avenge our loved

ones!”

“I’ve been looking for this woman for a long time, and I’ve finally found her now. Would you give me the

pleasure of killing her?” asked Thalia.

“Of course,” Gary answered readily. “You can kill her, and I’ll take care of the guy. That way, we’d both

be able to have our revenge!”

Thalia smiled faintly. “Thank you.”

“Come over. I’ll hand her over to you.”

But as soon as Thalia walked over, Gary suddenly asked, “By the way, when did your sister die?”
