A single needle shot out with an almost undetectable sound.
Eleanor was lying under the shade of the tree, whereas Matthew had taken a few steps and was out in the sun.
Just as she waited for the needle to strike her, she noticed a tiny sliver of silver against the sunlight.
Amid her startlement, Matthew froze.
"W-What's going on?"
Eleanor was in a daze. Her weak body managed to shoot up straight.
She bent down to look at the watch in her hand before staring at Matthew. She shook her head and exclaimed, "No! No! I… I had it pointed at myself!"
Matthew felt a stinging pain in his back. He turned around in disbelief and walked over to Eleanor.
"It wasn't me! I really pointed it at myself! I swear!"
Eleanor panicked; she never thought this would happen.
The poison hadn't fully taken effect yet. Matthew felt his body growing numb, but he had enough control over his limbs to bend down and snatch the watch from Eleanor's hand.
He studied the watch carefully. Then, he aimed the opening to his left and the button to his right before pressing down on it.
A needle shot out.
However, it was fired from a tiny hole beside the button.
It was the hole to eject the SIM card tray!
Matthew narrowed his eyes. His expression was stormy as a menacing aura seemed to emanate from him.
Eleanor could see his hand trembling as he gripped the watch, and at the very next second, he crashed onto the ground.
"Master? Matthew? Master! W-What's happening to you?"
The sudden turn of events horrified Eleanor.
