A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1331

There was no way Kermit would let Bernard manipulate him. Even with the pain making him wish for death, he refused to submit.

Bernard didn’t force him, but merely picked up the controller and lightly pressed the button to activate the pain system.

Kermit’s scream echoed through the room, a sound so gut-wrenching it was terrifying. His face was pale from the pain, but he still managed to look up at the man towering above him like

a mountain.

“I’ve alerted 1-1. He’ll be here soon, and you won’t have anywhere to hide.”

Bernard, expressionless, walked over to Kermit. He looked at the old man’s face and spoke in a cold voice, “Do as I say, or I’ll ensure you have nowhere to hide right now.”

Kermit, almost passing out from the pain, glanced at the controller in Bernard’s hand, then at the operating table.

The screen showed that the chip in his brain was now linked with Bernard’s. If Kermit wanted to live, he had to obey Bernard. Otherwise, Bernard could use the controller to make him suffer unbearable pain.
