Lauren's skin, weakened from prolonged medical treatment, was fragile like overripe fruit. When the man roughly yanked, a large patch of her scalp came off. The agony was unbearable!

Lauren writhed on the floor, clutching her head and screaming in pain.

The heavier man, disgusted by the bloody scalp in his hand, threw it back at Lauren's face. Fuming, he shouted, "Quit your screaming! For heaven's sake, shut up already!"

But Lauren couldn't stop. Even with her enhanced healing due to the drug, losing her scalp was intensely painful.

"Ah..." Lauren's cries continued as she clutched her head, the pain clearly overwhelming her.

The heavier man kicked Lauren, annoyed, saying, "Silence, you monster! Didn't you hear me?"

The tall man, wearing a hat, intervened to stop the chaos. “Hey, stop it. If she dies now, who's going to take the blame later?"

The heavier man hesitated and spat out in disgust. “Disgusting creature! Can't stand the sight of her. Might ruin my meals for days.”

The tall man, equally repulsed, threw his hat over Lauren's face, grimacing. “Cover that up. It's revolting!"

Subdued by the kicks, Lauren dared not make another sound.

The tall man kicked Lauren once more, pointing at Raegan, and ordered, “She's not to be touched yet. You better follow orders. Understand?"

Cowed, Lauren just nodded.

Lauren, despite her madness, showed an unusual level of obedience at this moment.

Raegan remained calm, silently assessing her situation. Outnumbered and outmatched by the two men and the unhinged Lauren, she knew her odds were slim.

Noting Raegan, the heavier man's eyes lit up. He found solace in Raegan's beauty after witnessing Lauren's disturbing appearance. "Such a beautiful girl," he noted.

“Pretty or not, just watch and don't make a fuss," the tall man cautioned in a calmer tone. “Wait for the car, and once we've moved these two, our work here is finished."

Raegan, overhearing their conversation, realized they intended to take her and Lauren to another location.

The heavier man expressed regret, “It'd be a real pity if this chick ended up dead."

The tall man, a cigarette hanging loosely from his mouth, scolded the heavier man, "Save it unless you've got something useful to say."

Unfazed, the heavier man shrugged off the caution. “What's the worry? They're just going to end up as unidentifiable bodies anyway."
