Before she had time to ask why, Cameron cut the ropes binding her injured hands and feet with the knife in his hand.
Eleanor thought Cameron would let her go, but he spun the knife around out of the blue. The sharp tip was pointing at Eleanor's neck.
Then Cameron said, "Ms. Shultz, you have a soft neck. I guess one slice should do it, huh?"
As the cold knife grazed her skin, Eleanor was sweating bullets, but she forced herself to stay calm and look at this middle-aged man.
"Cameron, I don't know who he is. Even if you kill me, I can't tell you anything. Why are you giving me such a hard time?"
While she spoke softly, her eyes gave away her determination. No one was getting any information on Mr. Law's whereabouts from her.
She was determined to protect Bernard and wouldn’t let him get hurt. Even if she was threatened, she wasn't afraid!
Seeing her remain so defiant, Cameron figured she must have guessed that he wouldn't kill her, so she refused to confess.
Looked like he needed to give her a taste of despair. After all, at the brink of desperation, people did tend to choose survival first...
Cameron waved his hand and a man with a scar brought over a huge drum full of water. Before Eleanor could react, someone held her head and pushed her into the drum. The feeling of suffocation was overwhelming, making her struggle to breathe.
Cameron showed no signs of stopping the man. Instead, he seemed to enjoy watching Eleanor struggle, puffing on his cigar and laughing.
"Ms. Shultz, you have quite the lung capacity. I'm impressed you've held out this long."
