Apologies, Miss Ruiyi

"It's truly regrettable."

Jonas's tone carried a tinge of lament, yet his expression betrayed no hint of regret.

Raye sensed an ominous foreboding creeping into her heart. Though she faintly guessed what Jonas might do to her, Raye refrained from retracting her words.

"It seems Miss Raye already anticipates what will happen next?"

Observing the girl's slightly uneasy expression, Jonas raised an eyebrow slightly as he spoke.

Though she had never experienced such a situation before, Raye knew the other party wouldn't easily let her off. Logically, they should now resort to some means to compel her into compliance.

After calming her uneasy emotions slightly, Raye spoke in a subdued tone:

"Do whatever means you have at your disposal."

The girl's determination remained unyielding, despite Jonas feeling a pang of regret at her misguided choice, he had no intention of showing mercy.

"I admire Miss Eudora's courage."

Jonas spoke, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He leaned in closer to the girl, gazing into her amber-like eyes, albeit regretting the absence of fear reflected in them.

—Cold-blooded indeed...

The sight of her somewhat tender visage made it difficult for Jonas to proceed, a rare pang of guilt flickering in his heart. Yet, he swiftly suppressed it, lifting the girl's chin and slowly parting her lips against her stubborn gaze, applying the substance on her tongue.

Upon completing this task, Jonas withdrew his hand, watching the girl who stared back at him with an unwavering gaze. He wiped the saliva from his fingers onto her clothes, an action that Raye found increasingly intolerable. Her tone, unlike before, now carried a hint of emotion:

"What have you done to me?"

"T-S14-5, the latest drug developed by the Vontaine Consortium... to avoid the infection risks associated with injections."

Jonas chuckled, continuing, "Miss Raye should recognize this, shouldn't she?"

Though her previous occupation had nothing to do with bioscience or pharmaceuticals, since her arrival, she had made up for a lack of knowledge in these areas. Even in an underground clinic, a reserve of medical knowledge was indispensable, and Miss Raye kept herself informed about the latest developments in pharmaceuticals.

As one of the largest medical enterprises in District 25, she naturally paid attention to the activities of the Vontaine Consortium. The T-S14 series, developed by the Vontaine Consortium, was one of the particularly special drug series. Its specific effects were to enhance human sensitivity, improve reflexes, etc. Initially intended for enhancing soldiers' crisis detection abilities on the battlefield, its effects were too potent, resulting in adverse effects. Sales plummeted, nearly becoming a bankrupt project.

Until later, the other effects of the T-S14 series drugs were discovered, and they were used in interrogation work, partially salvaging the sales. The T-S14 project was able to continue. Compared to the previous generations of injectable drugs, T-S14-5, the fifth generation of T-S14, was administered orally, reducing the risk of death from injection-related infections during interrogation.

Feeling her body gradually warming up, Raye knew she was in for a rough time ahead. She took two breaths, attempting to calm the peculiar sensations the drug had brought to various parts of her body.

After a failed attempt, the girl looked at the man in front of her, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Such things won't make me yield."

Though she wanted to portray herself as calm, the trembling in her voice betrayed her true thoughts.

Jonas looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes slowly closing as the effects of the drug began to take hold, and he smiled, saying, "Although I'm not clear on what Miss Raye means by those things, I think what I'm about to do may deviate from your expectations."

With that said, the girl felt her feet being lifted, her balance shifting backward, and Raye felt a strong sense of unease.

Soon enough, Miss Raye's unease was confirmed. She felt her boots being removed, her feet clad in white socks exposed to the air.

The sudden stimulation caused Raye to involuntarily let out a cute squeal.

"Yi—"

After making the adorable sound, Raye realized her loss of composure, but she quickly regained her senses, stifling any further outbursts to avoid further embarrassment.

The exposed feet in the air brought about a peculiar sensation, and Raye understood the specific effects of the drug administered by the man just now.

As the drug took effect, Raye distinctly felt the heightened sensitivity in her feet, while the impact on other parts of her body was limited.

"You, uh, yi—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Raye felt her feet being grasped, the intense stimulation causing her to interrupt herself.

Jonas, however, had no further thoughts. He then slowly removed the girl's white socks.

The friction of the fabric against her skin was unbearable, and Raye bit her lip tightly to suppress any sound.

Fortunately, this phase didn't last too long. As Raye felt her feet completely exposed to the air, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she heard the man in front of her speak softly, "Next comes the punishment phase."

And then, to the girl's horror, the man produced a 'torture instrument.'

—A feather.

As if anticipating what the other was about to do, Raye's face revealed a rare look of panic.

"No... you can't..."

Unfortunately, the girl's plea lacked sincerity, failing to dissuade Jonas from his actions.

"It seems Miss Raye currently lacks the power to resist."

Jonas sighed, then continued, "I don't want this either."

....

Next came the punishment phase where the girl, even if she wanted to endure, couldn't restrain herself from emitting adorable cries.
