“No, it was a sincere suggestion! I mean it! I wanted to help you make this company bigger and stronger.” Flossie swallowed, and added, “My friend and I are close. A normal person like me wouldn’t want her to suffer so much.”
“Yes, any normal person wouldn’t. But people in our industry can’t afford to be normal. Only crazy people can do this kind of work.”
Lucas raised his brow, and looked at Leia before turning back to Flossie.
“How about this? You punish her to prove your loyalty. Then, I’ll believe that you’re on my side. What do you think?” “Motherfucker! Just come at me! Stop talking crap! I’m not afraid of you!” Leia suddenly shrieked.
Lying on the table, her initial fear gradually turned into anger. Finally, she flew into a rage. She would rather get killed than tolerate the smallest man in the world.
Besides, he came up with such a lousy idea to torture her and Flossie by making them hurt each other. She might as well fight him with all she had!
“Look…” Lucas pointed at Leia, who was struggling and yelling fiercely. Then, he shook his head in disappointment.
“People with her character would have to suffer here,” he said. “If not, she’d always resist. Then, others would copy her actions. Then, I can’t earn money anymore. So, what I like best is to subdue such unyielding people.”
“Fuck you!” Leia spat at Lucas from afar, glaring at him. “Let me go! I’ll fight you alone! You used such of despicable way to hurt two women! You’re a bastard! Flossie, stop wasting your time with him. He won’t come to his senses. Just fight him!”
Lucas’ frown deepened as he instructed the guard, “Tell this pretty woman how to perform Flying Clouds and let her do it. Do it well, pretty lady. If you do, I’ll trust you. If not, I’ll punish both of you!”
Flossie took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine. I’ll give it a try.”
When Leia heard that, she went berserk. She screamed, “Flossie, what are you doing? Are you trying to work with him? Why are you so scared? Just fight him!”
In the past, Leia saw Flossie as a superior and condescending queen. Flossie would never bow down to anyone.
Now, Leia found the current Flossie not as mighty and more cowardly. She was no longer the terrifying Phoenix she used to be.
Flossie ignored Leia; she didn’t even look at the latter.
She said to the guard, “Please go ahead and tell me. I’ll learn it well.”
“Watch me!” the guard said fiercely.
He walked to the table and placed a basin filled with hot water on it. Then, he grabbed a sheet of white paper and drenched it with water. He then put it on Leia’s face.
“Mmph!” Leia’s face was fully covered, her mouth and nose blocked. She couldn’t make a sound or breathe properly. Her face flushed from the suffocation, and she was in great pain.
“Let go of her now!” Flossie screamed, anxious and restless. Though handcuffed, she rushed toward Leia and tried her best to remove the paper from Leia’s face.
Suffocating for five to ten minutes could kill. If Flossie didn’t stop them and let them have their way with Leia, she might die!
However, Flossie slipped and fell. She tried to get up, but failed due to her handcuffed limbs restricting her movement.
“Mm, mm!”
Leia struggled violently at first, but she slowly stopped moving as though she was dying.
At the critical moment, Flossie finally got up and hurriedly yanked the paper off Leia’s face.
“Whew!” When Leia finally got to breathe, she opened her eyes and took deep breaths. She still couldn’t see properly.
“Lei! Lei, are you alright?” Flossie asked anxiously, her eyes red.
“I’m fine,” Leia gasped, her eyes rolling upwards.
After Flossie had repeatedly called her name, she regained her wits. However, she was vastly different than her previous self. She looked timid and was trembling all over, no longer arrogant or fierce.
‘I’m glad.” Flossie, relieved, sighed deeply. “I’m sure the punishment is over.”
“Over?” Lucas stared at her, and chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you? You need to perform the punishment to test your loyalty to the company. It’s not over yet!”
“What else should I do before you’re satisfied?” Flossie snapped.
She lost her patience to stall for time and went straight to the point.
“You caught us because you want us to make you money. I know that all you want is money. Name your price! I’ll have my company’s finance department bank in the money to you.”
“Yeah, I want money, but I can differentiate between a one-time deal and a long-term deal.” Lucas exhaled a smoke ring and licked his lips. “You want your company to bank in the money to me. Then, they’ll know my address. Plus, you guys are big shots who can’t be offended. What if you turn against us and wipe us out? Do you take me as a moron?”
“But if I keep you guys here and make all the films I want for sale, I can earn a lot of money in the long run. My company will also get more famous. Which do you think I’ll choose?” Lucas went on.
Flossie nodded. “You’re right, but it’s boring to just conduct the punishment. Why don’t we use another method as a form of punishment?”
“Oh, what do you have in mind?” Lucas’ eyes brightened.
After spending so many days and nights here, he was gradually losing his rationale. The thought of new torture methods for victims who refused to obey filled him with excitement.
“You want us to act, don’t you? Let’s not waste time. We should start filming now.” Flossie smiled seductively. “I’m eager to be the first.”
*So, you’re saying that you can’t wait to start?” Lucas stood up, excited. He rubbed his hands together as he sized Flossie up.
‘Yeah, I guess. I can’t wait to earn money for you,” Flossie said.
“Great! You’re a sensible one!” Lucas clapped. “Well, let’s start… How about this? Since it’s your first time, I’ll bite the bullet and be the hero.”
‘That’s what I want.” Flossie smiled and added, “Lucas, you’re handsome. You’d make a great actor. I wonder what type of film you want to shoot?”
Listening to Flossie, Leia was puzzled. “Flossie, are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? How… How could you want to shoot that kind of film with him? Don’t you find it dirty? Look at how fat he is! It’s disgusting!”
Lucas’ smile disappeared instantly, and his face sank. He stamped his feet angrily. “I think she wants more. Keep punishing her with Flying Clouds! I’m sure she’ll suffocate!’
“Hey, Lucas. I told you, that’s just how her temper is. She’s just like a child. Don’t take her seriously.
Flossie dragged the heavy chains, exhausting herself to move to Lucas. She held his shoulders gently.
‘To be honest, aside from business, I’m good at massaging. I’m sure it must be hard for you to manage such a big company alone. Why don’t I give you a massage to help you relax?”
“Flossie, you traitor! How could you do that? Where’s your fierceness and boldness? I look down on you!” Leia screamed, furious and in pain. She couldn’t get up from the table, so she had to strain her neck.
Flossie turned and looked at Leia calmly, and said coldly, “Smart people should adapt to their environment. If I act like you and stand against Lucas, I’ll be the one who’s forced to lie on this table and get suffocated.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I did. But you, you’re always immature. You can’t understand the situation. All you do is make trouble and burden me. Do you think you’ve made the right choice?”
“How… How could you say that?” Leia was astounded. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“I never expected you’d be like this! My brother and I admired you so much for so many years. It was in vain! I thought you were the bravest and smartest, that you’d never yield. But I was wrong. You just put your interests before everything else. If we were bom during wartime, you’d be the first to betray the country!”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Flossie stared indifferently at Leia. “Yeah, that’s who I am. Cut the crap. If you offend me, I don’t mind letting Lucas get rid of you first!”
Flossie and Lela started arguing with each other in front of Lucas and his lackey, saying a lot of fierce things to each other.
“Hey, this is interesting!”
Lucas kept clapping as he listened.
