certain extent, not intending to strangle her to death.Realizing that, Winnie promptly demanded, “What are you doing? What exactly do you want to ask me?”Big Black Bear lowered his head and glowered at her.“You were sent over by those in South West Aploth, huh? In this area, no one else could possibly have such a formulation besides me. You must be a spy they sent out. What do they want? Lure me out and capture me back or kill me?”Winnie’s brows creased. It looks like he knows everything, even surmising my plan accurately.“What does the answer matter? What is the meaning of this now? Do you want to kill me? If so, why are you not making your move?”Big Black Bear ruthlessly strangled her again. “I don’t like to kill! But I’ve got to admit that the formulation in your hands is even better than mine. I believe you don’t want to die either, right?”Winnie struggled to breathe. “Of course, I don’t want to die. Who doesn’t want to live?”“If you want to live, I can spare you, but you must hand the formulation to me!”“What would become of me if I were to hand it to you? Would Leandro still keep me alive?”“I don’t care. But if you don’t hand it to me, I’m going to strangle you to death right here and now. You undoubtedly can’t last five minutes in my hands. Weigh it carefully!”Winnie was already running of out oxygen, so she relented. “Okay! I’ll hand it to you! I’ll give it to you!” There’s a pen and paper in the drawer under the table. Take them out. I’ll write the formulation down for you.”Hearing that, Big Black Bear instantly dipped his head and pulled the drawer open.Sure enough, there was a pen and paper in there. He quickly took them out and placed them on the table. “Write it down immediately, right this instant!”“Okay!” Winnie clawed at his arm, urging, “Loosen your hold for a bit. I can’t quite breathe anymore, and my brain will run out of oxygen. Under such a circumstance, I can’t write it down at all.”That made sense. Thinking that she couldn’t escape from him anyway, Big Black Bear loosened his grip a fraction.Relief suffused Winnie, and she took in great gulps of breath. She only started writing several seconds later.After writing two lines, she deliberately paused for a moment.As soon as she did so, Big Black Bear rushed her at once. “Don’t drag your feet! Hurry up and write.”In response, Winnie frowned. “Don’t rush me. I’m too nervous when you do so, and I might make a mistake.”While saying that, she crossed off the line she wrote earlier. “Look, I got the quantity wrong.”Staring at the paper, Big Black Bear questioned, “Are you sure it’s wrong? The content of methamphetamine is high in the first place. Why did you cross it out?”Winnie breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the man had his full attention on the formulation.“You’ll understand when I’ve written down the entire formulation. Now, you only need to keep your eyes peeled.” As she said that, she shook her hand. “D*mn it! I hate using my left hand. It’s really too inconvenient.”Big Black Bear didn’t think much of her shaking her hand, for his thoughts were centered on the formulation. Unbeknownst to him, she was actually looking for a suitable angle by doing so.She prepared everything in that room meticulously, including the pen in her hand.Its tip was exceedingly sharp and fine, so it could be used as a weapon if she had a good grasp of the force and angle.She shook her hand earlier because she was looking for a suitable angle. By then, she already had a rough grasp of the position where she and Big Black Bear stood.After purposefully miswriting a parameter to attract his attention, she shot her hand back and stabbed him with the pen.While her blow wasn’t fatal, the tip of the pen punctured his throat unerringly.Never had Big Black Bear expected the woman before him to actually turn the tables and injure him with a mere pen.As the wound was at his throat, he couldn’t even shout. He could only make some low and unintelligible sounds.Following her success, Winnie continued striking while the iron was hot. She took out a towel from the drawer. Holding her breath, she poured the bottle of “white wine” on the table onto the towel.In truth, it was no white wine. Instead, it was a bottle of colorless and transparent ether.After knocking Big Black Bear out, she whipped out a lighter and went to a corner of the wall.The two crates of wine Leandro sent over previously were all there. Taking two bottles out, she poured the rest of the wine over the curtains and furniture before lighting the curtains on fire.When she had done all that, she climbed out the window with the remaining two bottles and left.By the time the men keeping watch outside and Leandro noticed something amiss, her room was already ablaze.The instant Leandro saw the fire, he stood frozen on the spot.He suddenly found himself foolish beyond belief.She was the one who set Harold’s lab on fire. She even managed to play a fool of someone like him; yet, I thought I could subdue her! He was so livid that steam was coming out of his ears. “D*mn it! Go and get that woman! No matter what, you’re to catch her! I want to cut her into a million pieces and feed her to the wolves! Why are you still spacing out? Hurry up and give chase!”But not long after he had given that order, he received another piece of bad news all out of the blue—his warehouse was on fire.All my stock and raw materials are in that warehouse, but that woman actually set fire to it all!The warehouse meant everything to him. At the end of the day, he could give up killing Winnie, but he couldn’t possibly give his warehouse up.Therefore, he hastily called back everyone he sent out to pursue
