Lorenzo responded to Mitchel's plea with even greater madness in torturing Katie. He positioned a nail against Katie's foot and raised the hammer dramatically.

“Ah!" Katie's scream filled the room, a genuine cry of excruciating pain.

When the hammer struck, Katie felt like it directly hit her heart.

Her well-maintained face twisted, showing an expression of grotesque fear.

The intense pain made her almost bite through her tongue. But she restrained herself. Instead, she bit her arm to endure the agony.

It was not that Katie didn't want to explain. But Lorenzo was too fast. He was ruthlessly efficient in tormenting a person. The entire process was fast and precise, giving her no chance to speak.

She couldn't utter a word. Her mouth could do nothing but scream in pain. When the nails were being driven into her foot, it was excruciating beyond words.

Katie had never been tortured like this before. When she was about to lose consciousness from the pain, she thought she saw a masked man crawling on the floor and calling her, "Miss..."

She struggled to utter his name, “Abel...” But when she stretched out her hand, hoping to hold him, the man dispersed Like smoke.

Katie then saw another scene. Abel's feet were pierced by glass, bleeding profusely with every step he took. But he didn't seem to mind it. He carried her on his back without even frowning.

That was when they had a car accident. Abel had dragged Katie out of the car in time before it exploded, making them survive together. He was in a panic, and he didn't even notice that his feet were pierced by shards of glass from the shattered windows.

The scene was so unbearable that even Katie couldn't afford to look at it. But in Abel's eyes, all he could see was his duty to Katie.

Now that Katie was experiencing the piercing pain, she realized what Abel had gone through at that time.

She belatedly realized only Abel would never abandon her. But ironically, it was she who had ordered him to die. And he obeyed without complaining.

Looking back, Katie could only regret it bitterly. She had not utilized Abel to his fullest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered this current agony.

Lorenzo's face morphed into something demonic. He picked up another rusty nail. As his lips curved into a sinister smile, he aimed it at Katie's other foot.

"No!" Katie screamed. Her eyes widened in fright.

She shouted, "Don't do this to me! I have something to tell you!"

Lorenzo's ability to commit countless murders stemmed from his never hesitating. He lived by the principle that villains died from talking too much and hesitating. Thus, his actions were always decisive. He did things cleanly, leaving no opportunity for the other party to retaliate.

Just like right now, Lorenzo was not interested in whatever Katie said she wanted to tell him. He suspected it was only Katie's ploy to buy time.
