“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,
Doug’s body released smoke all of a sudden.“Y-You’ve finally awakened your ability,” Ace excitedly said.“H-Huh?” Doug looked confused. “Smoke? How is this possible? I didn’t make any contract with a demon. So, how?”“I think it’s the nanobots that gave you the power,” Nightmare_lily said.“They can do that?” Little Nightmare was startled. “I thought they only enhanced our physique, strength, and healing factor. But to give out an ability…”“It happens one in a thousand cases, so not many people know about it,” Nightmare_lily said.“This is the power of nanobots?” Doug raised his hand, and thick smoke came out of it and swirled around his arm and went down to his feet, and then lifted him up into the air by a couple of feet.“H-He’s floating in the air,” Ace was astonished by what he saw. “It’s a cool ability.”“How is it cool?” Ronny said. “It’s just smoke.”“Don’t underestimate it. Every ability has its uses,” Ace said.“But, let’s not forget what we have to do soon,” Joker reminde
For the past four hours, Jim meditated on his wounds, especially the shoulder wound. And he was able to mostly heal that wound, though it took a lot of juice out of him.In this process, he ended up unintentionally absorbing the vitality of all the vegetables and fruits in that building.Jim didn’t know that the meditation technique could do that. But this was one of the ways to remove the bad particles from one’s body while absorbing the best particles from the surroundings through the air.It was all in the breath of man.By the time Jim opened his eyes, he felt so refreshed, even though he was stinking a lot because of ejecting the poisonous and toxic particles out of his body through all the pores.[How do you feel?] Joe asked.“Good. Though this makes me want to have a bath as soon as possible,” Jim said. “I hope they have some lemons here. I will apply some diluted lemon juice to my hair because it feels weird on my head right now.”[Jim… you should focus on your stamina a bit m
