Chapter 869: Arnold: I Want to Take Your Miserable Life...
Silas looked at the group of people standing beside him, then continued, "Sir, according to our assessment, as long as we keep searching along this path, we will soon find the boss and the others!"The confidential secretary glared at Silas, "Such an important matter, why didn’t you speak up earlier!"
Silas felt very wronged.
He had a momentary lapse and hadn’t had the chance to speak before the sir gave the order...
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest.
After hearing Alice Sutton’s explanation and detailed description of Ghost-seeing Grass, Mark warned, "I’m going to find the herbs now, you’d better stay here. If there’s any danger, you better protect Arnold well, otherwise I will take your life!"
Alice Sutton nodded, "Don’t worry. I’m telling you about Ghost-seeing Grass to allow this kid’s eyes to temporarily see, thereby increasing our odds of getting out of this forest."
"But you need to hurry back, otherwise in my current state, and with this blind kid, if we run into any danger..."
"Half an hour, whether I find Ghost-seeing Grass or not, I will come back." Mark said and turned to leave to find the Ghost-seeing Grass.
Since hearing that Ghost-seeing Grass could temporarily relieve Arnold’s eyes, allowing Arnold to see, Mark was determined to find the Ghost-seeing Grass.
No one understood his physical condition better than himself.
He had never feared anything, always confident, yet this time he was truly afraid he might suddenly collapse, for the first time lacking confidence and assurance, fearing he wouldn’t be able to lead Arnold safely out of the forest.
But if Arnold’s eyes could see, Arnold would certainly be able to leave this forest!
However, Arnold and Mark had completely different thoughts.
Upon hearing about Ghost-seeing Grass from Alice Sutton’s mouth, Arnold’s first thought was the potential dangers Mark might encounter while searching for the Ghost-seeing Grass.
To Arnold, her life wasn’t more important than Mark’s, let alone her eyesight.
She, Arnold, could remain blind, live without sight for a lifetime, none of this mattered.
She only needed the boss to be alive and leave the forest with her.
Failing to persuade Mark to change his mind about searching for Ghost-seeing Grass, Arnold developed thoughts of killing Alice Sutton.
Once she could no longer hear Mark’s footsteps, Arnold waited a little longer before taking the sharp dagger Mark left her and walked towards Alice Sutton.
Arnold stepped closer to Alice Sutton, her murderous intent barely contained, frightfully intense.
Alice Sutton couldn’t help but step back, "Kid, are you thinking of killing me?"
"Yes." Arnold said blandly, looking at Alice Sutton as she continued, "You should have died long ago, shouldn’t you? Now, I’m just returning things to their rightful place."
Alice Sutton, dragging a crippled leg, retreated, looking at Arnold threatened, "Kid, you can’t kill me. If I die, your eyes will never get better!"
Arnold was unmoved, continuing to press towards Alice Sutton.
Looking at Arnold constantly approaching her, Alice Sutton suddenly panicked.
The kid in front of her had delicate features, seemingly a weak teenager.
Yet, this teenager, despite being blind, could still rely on precise hearing to determine directions, swiftly and fiercely countering the beasts that attacked them along the journey.
Upon seeing Arnold’s moves for the first time, Alice Sutton had been completely shocked.
No matter what, she hadn’t thought this easily intimidatable kid on the plane would possess such incredible combat strength and explosiveness.
Blind yet possessing astonishing strength, able to help solve beasts along the way instead of becoming a drag to Laurant Foster and him, this was undoubtedly good.
But what if such a capable kid wanted to kill him?
Moreover, in his condition with an injured leg and snake venom!
Worse yet, Laurant Foster was no longer around.
Without Laurant Foster’s protection, if this kid was determined to kill him, could he still possibly survive?
Alice Sutton avoided and retreated while urgently trying to shift Arnold’s intent to kill him, "Kid, are you thinking that if Laurant Foster finds Ghost-seeing Grass, your eyes will heal, and you can just kill me?"
Finishing, not waiting for Arnold to speak, Alice Sutton continued, "If that’s what you’re thinking, you are completely mistaken!"
"I already explained very clearly earlier, Ghost-seeing Grass only offers temporary relief, temporary relief understand? It cannot cure your eyes."
"Meaning unless you want to be blind forever, you have to keep me alive! Only if I’m alive can you get the cure, only then can your eyes recover!"
With his threatening words spoken, Alice Sutton’s face was filled with smugness, "So not only can you not kill me, but you must also protect me just like your boss."
"Finished?" Arnold looked towards Alice Sutton, brimming with rage, "Do you think that if it hadn’t been for you, my eyes would be blind?"
Arnold approached step by step, voice cold, "Because you hurt my eyes, it caused the boss, despite being seriously injured, to still protect me, and now add the need to protect you, this useless person!"
Arnold’s murderous aura did not diminish, instead showing signs of deepening.
She looked in Alice Sutton’s direction, her voice cold and deadly, "Additionally, you claim you have the cure, can completely heal my eyes, do you think I’d believe that?"
"Not to mention your deceitful nature, whether it’s worthy of trust. Just regarding my eyes, no one might understand better than me the current state of my eyes!"
Failing to change Arnold’s intent to kill him, instead sensing her even fiercer murderous will, Alice Sutton’s heart began to panic.
He looked at Arnold, speaking firmly and anxiously, "Really, everything I said is true! You need to believe me, I really have the cure, the medicine can heal your eyes!"
"Even if you have it, so what?" Arnold replied dismissively, the killing intent rampant, "I don’t care about my eyes now, whether they heal or remain blind forever doesn’t bother me. Right now, I just want to do one thing, and that’s to take your worthless life!"
Seeing Arnold indifferent about her eyes, Alice Sutton hurriedly spoke, "Kid, if you kill me, how will you explain to your boss? Hm?"
Arnold laughed, "That’s not something you need to worry about. Killing someone as wicked as you, I surely wouldn’t struggle to explain to the boss."
Watching Arnold, Alice Sutton grew even more frightened.
