002''s eyes lit up, a smile creeping across her lips.


    "Understood, Mr. K," she said.


    The moment he left, she viciouslyshed out with three swift strikes of the whip.


    She didn''t even give Selena time to regain her bnce clearly intent on making each blow impossible to dodge.


    002 sneered, "Does it hurt? Look at you, like a dog that can''t even whimper. Don''t worry, I''ll keep you alive-barely. Did you think sleeping with Mr. K would make him care about you? Let me tell you something: in his eyes, you''re disposable-nothing but trash! No one here gives a damn whether you live or die!"


    002 continued her assault, hurling insults with each crack of the whip.


    Within moments, Selena''s body bore the marks of tenshes as she copsed to the ground.


    With a smirk, 002 approached and kicked her in the stomach. "I told you to get up. Is that all you''ve got?"


    She delivered several moreshes.


    Selena''s vision darkened, and she nearly lost consciousness.


    But she refused to pass out in front of this woman. She held on, her nails digging into her palms.


    Thankfully, those days in the pool had increased her pain tolerance. The water hadn''t made her faint, and now the wounds only served to sharpen her awareness through the pain.


    "Some future leader you are living like a dog under mymand! I''ll beat you to death!"


    002 was exhrated, her face filled with smug satisfaction.


    From a room on the second floor, someone silently observed the scene, uttering just one word, "Fool."


    Oblivious to being watched, 002 delivered several moreshes until she determined Selena had reached her limit. Then she cast the whip aside.


    "Now I''ll throw you in the pool to soak. Let the pain finish you off, you worthless bitch!"


    She grabbed Selena''s arm and shoved her into the pool.


    Intense pain immediately engulfed her. Selena wanted to curl up.


    It hurt. It hurt so much... Raymond.


    She opened her mouth, but no words came out, her face contorted in agony.


    002 stood at the edge of the pool, every cell in her body tingling with pleasure.


    So this was what it felt like to control the future leader''s fate. Once she secured that position, she''d have Selena cut to pieces and fed to the dogs!


    "Don''t pray for Mr. K to save you, Selena. You''re mine for the next few days," sheughed before humming a tune as she walked away.


    Alone in the pool, Selena asionally nced up at the sky.


    The previously empty blur of light suddenly became clearer-a faint hint of blue appeared.

    Her eyes brightened, her heart suddenly racing.


    Meanwhile, K had left thepound, his expression grim as he spoke on the phone, "So no one knows if Paul is dead or alive?"


    "Correct. We found no body at the scene."


    Hearing this, he sighed softly. "Keep looking. And has anyone else noticed anything suspicious?"


    "You mean Alex?"


    K didn''t respond, and the person on the other end chuckled. "I gave him a bottle of mtonin—the kind that can cause cardiac arrest at a specific time. He frequently stays upte writing scripts and entertaining women. Sudden death won''t raise eyebrows."


    K remained silent, his fingers tapping on the nearby railing as he instructed, "Don''t let anyone discover anything unusual, especially Paul. If he''s still alive, he''ll certainly notice something."


    "Don''t worry. No one knows my identity yet."


    The call ended.


    K gazed into the distance with heavy eyes and sighed.
