A few minutes earlier.Lola came to the Spring hospital to check on her daughter’s situation. “It’s been a week, doctor. Didn’t you say that her readings are normal now. Then why isn’t she waking up?”“I’m positive that she’ll wake up within a few days,” the doctor replied patiently.“If there’s no change even after two days, then I’ll take her home and seek another doctor,” Lola said.The doctor persuaded her to be patient, but she didn’t change her mind.After the doctor left, Lola changed the flowers in the pot with the fresh flowers. She touched Rena’s face and pursed her lips. “Wake up soon, Rena. We’re all waiting for you. Let us see your smile once again.”Marc’s favorite daughter was Shiney, whereas Lola adored Rena more because of her intellect, maturity and her way of handling things. So, it really hurt Lola to see her firstborn be bedridden and in a coma for a week now.Lola sat there for a few minutes while touching Rena’s hand and pressing it every now and then. She hoped
White Maiden died, but the dark realm Jim was in was still there, and to his great surprise, the entire realm began to get sealed by ice.It was then Jim realized that White Maiden had really planned to kill him even if meant she were to die.As tired as Jim was, he had to keep fighting, keep destroying the ice that was rapidly expanding in every direction.In the end, the entire space got sealed, even though Jim was still fighting the ice in the middle.On top of that, Jim could only use one hand to punch because his left arm was still not letting him fight since White Maiden’s dark sword stabbed his shoulder.But there was no one to even complain to.So what could Jim do other than to incessantly throw his single fist around like his life depended on it.All Jim was doing was throwing the same punch again and again and again in different ways, and without himself knowing, he was solidifying his technique like never before.Meanwhile, in the Spring hospital.Rena opened her eyes.The
“Why look for a sketch artist when I’m here?” Bob entered the room.“Mr. Bob! You’re still here?” Lola was pleasantly surprised. “This is great. Please help us by drawing the perfect image of that man.”“Oh, I will put my heart and soul into it,” Bob assured and looked at Rena. “Would you please tell every single detail about him, Miss Rena?”Rena did not want to talk with this man but because of the situation and the urgency she felt, she controlled her emotions and said, “I’m not a Miss. I’m Mrs. Rena.”“Ah, did I say Ms. Rena? My bad,” Bob softly said. “I mean, you look very young, so I forgot for a second that you’re married.”Rena just didn’t like the way he was framing his sentences, but Lola didn’t seem to be bothered by that at all. “Huh, whatever. I will do my best to describe that man.” She went on to give the details. “He was big like a bear. His arms were already big, when he sucked in air, his arms grew big like tree trunks.”Bob was surprised by her last sentence, and hi
Lola brought a new mobile for Rena, but her number was the same old number because Lola had one week to buy a new sim card and have the same number assigned to it.Rena thanked her mother for it and also asked why Marc and Shiney didn’t visit her yet. She told them that they were both busy with something serious, and Lola didn’t reveal any more information.Rena then called her best friends first: Keith and Solomon.She then called her boss, Austin Woakes, and told him that she might not attend to work for a while until she clears some things out, even though she knew that the company was in the middle of doing an important project given by Draknor Finance.Austin didn’t speak too much about work, but he said he would visit her tomorrow and told her to get some good rest so she’ll recover faster.Keith came to visit Rena within an hour.To Rena’s surprise, Keith was dressed modestly, and she didn’t come alone. She was with Solomon. “W-What’s going on? Why are you two holding hands?”“
A few hours later. Joker and others were sitting and talking about random things. “Do you think the Nightmare Sisters would have won against the floor manager and went to the fourth floor already?” Doug asked. “They left long ago,” Ace blurted. “Why are you worried about them?” “I’m not worried! I just want to know… that’s all,” Doug said. “If Jim was around, I might have asked him to get revenge for my daughter. But these sisters are so damn lucky.” “They are not just lucky,” Scarlet said. “They are strong as well, especially Nightmare_lily. She was able to survive on her own without needing Jim’s help like all of us did. Clearly, she’s pretty strong. That’s why she believes that she can defeat the floor manager.” “I hope they will fail,” Doug voiced his mind. “I want them to get stuck on this floor at the least. If they go to the fourth floor and get scouted by some people from the outside, they’ll leave the dungeon quickly, won’t they? I don’t want them to find freedom so quic
A few minutes earlier.When Jim fell out from the crack in the air, someone was waiting not far from where Doug and others were. This was a man who was ordered to watch Jim’s friends.After seeing Jim, he couldn’t believe it.“Unbelievable… How did it make it back alive? Does this mean he defeated White Maiden? This is big news!”He ran his way back to Binnie’s hideout, and it was not a short distance.At the hideout, the Nightmare Sisters and others were just sitting outside, while Binnie and Demon Dwarf were playing chess by the doorstep.“I know you want White Maiden to die more than anyone else,” Demon Dwarf said. “But I was not expecting you to bet on a youngster who doesn’t even have a year’s worth of experience fighting real battles. Have you gotten that desperate?” He kicked two of her chess pieces out in a row. “You can’t win the marathon by hurrying.”“I didn’t blindly bet on him,” Binnie retorted. “He’s someone you taught, after all.”“Haha,” Demon Dwarf forced out a snicke
While Jim was recovering inside the storage building, the others were standing guard outside.“Why didn’t he even eat anything?” Ronny wondered. “He only drank water. How can that be enough? If he wants to recover faster, shouldn’t he be eating a lot of food?”“I think now that he has vivre, he doesn’t need to rely on food all the time,” Scarlet opined. “In fact, when it comes to recovery, being on an empty stomach is better than being on a full stomach. Body can heal fast during fasting, after all. So, I think Jim knows exactly what he’s doing.”“Yeah,” Ace agreed. “He looks fit, so I’m sure he knows more about diet than we all do.”“Let’s say we all escaped from this place successfully,” Doug voiced his mind. “And then what? Should we go our separate ways, or should we tell the media about this place?”“Pfft,” Joker laughed a little.“What was so funny?” Doug frowned.“You think that the media is ethical?” Joker replied with a question.Doug couldn’t answer his question.“Most if no
Binnie went to White Maiden’s abode and did not find her.There were some human puppets that White Maiden had created, and Binnie fought them and destroyed them. These puppets weren’t weak, so she had to exert herself to deal with them. And then she looked everywhere and eventually found a pot with the name ‘Cane’ written on it.Cane was the man she loved.This pot had his ashes inside.She grabbed the pot and broke into tears. She had been trying for years to get her hands on his ashes, but she couldn’t. Now, she was finally able to do that, thanks to a youngster who stopped White Maiden.For many minutes, she was on her knees, hugging the pot and crying.Meanwhile, Nightmare Sisters were on the verge of confronting Joker and others that were guarding the fruit and vegetable storage building.“What a wonderful time to live in.” Just then, Bald Brute entered the scene while chewing on a lamb’s chop.“Baldie!” Nightmare_lily was surprised to see him. “I thought you were dead.”“Well,
