Connor's surgical knife was exceptionally sharp, its edge gleaming ominously.

Nevertheless, Timothy remained motionless, almost as if he had resigned himself to whatever fate awaited him.

In that tense moment, even Jason found himself holding his breath. With a swift motion, the knife sliced through Timothy's sleeve, drawing blood as it left a jagged tear in its wake.

Observing Timothy's lack of reaction, Connor gritted his teeth and remarked, "You're truly tempting fate, aren't you?"

What a madman!

Unfazed, Timothy glanced at the blood-stained knife, his expression devoid of emotion as he replied, "Even if you were to kill me now, my answer would remain unchanged. I won't leave."

Enraged, Connor prepared to strike again, but Jason intervened. "Connor, why don't you go check on Mia's condition? I'll handle this." Even if they wanted to destroy Timothy, now wasn't the right moment to do so.

Upon hearing Mia's name, Connor reluctantly put away the surgical knife. With one final glare at Timothy, he warned, "Consider yourself lucky today. But don't think you'll escape next time."

After Connor left, Jason fixed a cold stare on the disheveled Timothy standing before him. "Speak up. What are your true intentions?"
