Chapter 52 - I surrender

In the dimly lit room, the bound maiden acquiesced, under such circumstances, what could possibly occur?

Miss Shi Yuliang dared not imagine... She gazed at the man before her, hoping he wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

"Let me explain the rules of the game first..."

Jonas paid no heed to the maiden's demeanor... In fact, both parties present were well aware that the maiden's opinion wasn't all that important.

This was a unilateral game, and Miss Shi could only choose to accept...

Jonas produced a white pill, looking at the visibly alarmed Shi Yuliang, smiling as he spoke:

"One of Weyten Pharmaceuticals' adaptogenic drugs, I'm sure Miss Shi is already familiar with its effects..."

Shi Yuliang began to struggle, her eyes filled with embarrassment and resistance. She certainly knew what this thing was capable of; it tormented her for a full seventeen hours.

During those seventeen hours, she regretted her actions countless times, cursing and yet craving satisfaction. Like an insatiable nymphomaniac, shamelessly without restraint or boundaries.

It wasn't until now, as the drug's effects waned, that her consciousness cleared somewhat.

To experience that feeling again? She'd rather die.

"This is a weakened version of the drug, about one-third the potency of the previous version. If you can endure it, I'll let you go."

One-third the potency... she couldn't endure it either!

At the thought of the sensations from before, the maiden couldn't help but shudder.

Shi Yuliang gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Jonas, declaring:

"I refuse!"

As if anticipating the maiden's response, Jonas smiled nonchalantly:

"You don't have the right to refuse, Miss Shi."

"Miss Chelsea won't let you get away with this!"

Shi Yuliang knew her fate was inevitable, resorting to threats.

"Your behavior is digging your own grave... you damned bastard..."

The maiden cursed weakly, as if venting her anger.

Upon hearing the maiden's curses, Jonas wasn't particularly angered, but his expression turned somewhat unnatural.

—Should he tell Miss Shi that her Miss Chelsea had already betrayed her?

Seemingly exhausted from the cursing, the maiden's voice grew softer.

Finally, she raised her head, pursed her lips, and with a deep breath, asked the man before her:

"If I win, will you really let me go?"

"Of course, I'm a man of my word," Jonas paused, then continued.

Seeing Jonas's expression, Shi Yuliang felt slightly uneasy, but ultimately gathered her courage and spoke up.

Though Shi Yuliang closed her eyes, the slightly trembling lashes betrayed her inner turmoil.

Moments later, a faint orange scent filled the air, melting in the maiden's mouth.

"Ugh—"

As the pill dissolved, it felt like a warm stream gathering in her abdomen.

Shi Yuliang shook her head, trying to shake off impure thoughts.

The next moment, she felt her legs being grasped.

"Yikes—"

The maiden couldn't help but let out a strange cry, instinctively wanting to cover her mouth, only to find her hands bound to the chair.

With tears in her eyes, Shi Yuliang looked at Jonas, struggling to speak:

"Why... are you... doing this..."

Shi Yuliang suppressed her voice, finding it extremely difficult to speak.

"I never said I wouldn't do anything, Miss Shi."

Jonas's voice made Shi Yuliang curse inwardly, but she dared not speak out.

Not only was she worried that Jonas might do something more extreme to her, but more importantly, she feared that speaking out would reveal embarrassing sounds.

"Please... stop..."

Shi Yuliang's tone carried a hint of pleading, a faint blush spreading across her fair skin.

Hearing this, Jonas released her leg, calmly observing her.

And then, Shi Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Jonas say:

"The candy I gave you just now was only orange-flavored... The pill I'm holding now is the one I gave you last time."

Hearing this, the maiden froze, her mind going blank.

Before she could react, Jonas spoke again:

"Miss Shi, are you ready to face reality?"

"W-wait... wait!!!"

Shi Yuliang began to panic, Jonas's words had shocked her greatly, and his subsequent actions made her feel on the verge of collapse.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, the maiden cried out with a hint of tears:

"I... I surrender, I surrender!"

Seeing this display, Jonas was very satisfied.

But he didn't stop his actions, instead sitting down opposite the maiden.

Coming to her senses, Shi Yuliang realized her fate.

The maiden couldn't help but raise her head, closing her eyes.

But what she expected didn't happen. Jonas clapped his hands, his expression suddenly jovial, as he spoke:

"Alright, the joke ends here. Miss Shi Yuliang, Miss Chelsea has already reached an agreement with me. I apologize for my previous rudeness."

Shi Yuliang raised her tear-streaked face, stunned.

Jonas's sudden words left her brain momentarily unable to process. Hindered by the slow workings of her drugged mind.

Finally, after a long while, the maiden realized the meaning behind Jonas's words:

"Huh?"
