"Hot tea. I persuaded the middle-aged woman who scolded us to make hot tea," Matthew replied in a hushed tone. A proud smile curved at the end of his sentence. Jansen frowned. He couldn't help but laugh, then accepted the glass that Matthew handed him. "I don't know what you're thinking. But if it's about what that middle-aged woman said, you don't need to think about that," Matthew said. Jansen sipped his drink while looking at Matthew in astonishment. After feeling relieved, he let out a long sigh and put down the glass. "I feel bad for what that woman went through. It's like... imagining that you trust someone, only to have them betray you and plot to destroy you," Jansen replied. Matthew furrowed his brow after listening to Jansen's words. "Your words sound very sad. I don't know if you've experienced what that woman felt, or if you've thought about what it would be like in her shoes." For a few seconds Jansen didn't answer. Actually, the most suitable reason for Ma
BUGH! "Did you want to ruin my plan on purpose?!" Frank pointed out as his two bodyguards grabbed both of Jansen's wrists. Jansen arched a lopsided smile after hearing Frank's question. Despite the battered condition of his face with several bruises on his jaw and the corner of his lips, Jansen was not at all afraid. "Why do you look scared?" Jansen asked. He was breathing heavily because he had been fighting. Frank raised his stick and placed the tip on Jansen's chest. He had a very annoyed look on his face as he pressed the tip of the stick. "Ever since I met you, I've been suspicious of you. I don't know where you came from, Jansen, but I feel like you resemble someone I used to know," Frank said. Jansen's eyebrows automatically raised. He still deliberately pretended not to understand Frank's words. "Oh, really?" Jansen then laughed sarcastically. "Is the person you're referring to someone you erased from the history of the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization
"Jansen, gosh, you're in this situation again! Are you okay?"Jansen coughed as his body fell limp. His chest was tight. He had received so many blows from Frank's bodyguards. To the right and left of Jansen were Joseph, Matthew, and Ryann. They looked at Jansen through eyes that radiated worry. "Ah, my goodness. I'm in a lot of... pain," Jansen said as he couldn't stand up. No matter how much he forced himself upright, he ended up falling limply. "Don't force yourself to stand up. Oh my God, how did you get here?" asked Matthew who was grumbling in exasperation. "Hey, you guys. Jansen? What happened to Jansen?"Jansen, Matthew, Joseph, and Ryann's gazes instantly moved to the source of the voice. They saw the arrival of Katthes who looked confused at Jansen. "It seems that Mr. Frank and his bodyguards know that the culprit who got in the way of the plan was Jansen," Joseph replied. Katthes frowned before sitting down on her knees near Jansen. For a few seconds, Katthes watched
"So where are you going now, Jansen?" asked Matthew who was walking with Jansen down the hallway. It wasn't just Matthew who was with Jansen now. There were also Joseph, Ryann, and Katthes. They occasionally looked back to make sure there were no Black Warriors or training headquarters officers around watching. "To the dungeon room. There are tons of people who will be experimented on there," Jansen replied. "Are you crazy, Jansen? So what are you going to do once you get there?" asked Ryann in a voice that was almost a whisper. She looked at Jansen with both surprise and panic. "Call me crazy, Ryann. But I'd be even crazier if I just stood by and watched people being tortured while being experimented on by Mr. Frank," Jansen replied. "Actually, I don't want people to be tortured either, but I'm afraid they'll be more tortured after we help them," Joseph said. "Yes. After we help them get out of here, then what should we do again?" asked a confused Ryann. "We can use the ite
BUGH! One of the training base's security guards finally fell after Matthew had successfully attacked the abdomen, legs, and hands. Matthew immediately let out a sigh of relief while stretching his muscles. "Oh my. I feel very satisfied after using my strength," Matthew said as he stretched his muscles. Jansen came up from beside Matthew and patted him on the shoulder. He gave Matthew a reassuring smile. "How does it feel, Matthew? Did you get an adrenaline rush?" asked Jansen. Matthew nodded his head with a satisfied smile that curved wide. "Yes, it's very stimulating. I can't wait to meet the people in the dungeon room," Matthew replied. Jansen chuckled. After that, Joseph and Ryann appeared from beside Matthew with Katthes. "So, what do we do now?" Joseph asked. Jansen looked at the five fallen security guards of the training base. Jansen immediately curved a grin that showed he had prepared a careful plan. "We can take their uniforms and use them as a disguise," Jan
Katthes then took the penknife that was in Jansen's pocket without a word. With a swift movement, he slashed his own wrist until blood spurted out instantly. Jansen glared in surprise. "Katthes! I didn't tell you to do-" "Trust me, Jansen. It'll distract them all more." Jansen was still dumbfounded as Katthes slipped the penknife into Jansen's pocket again. Then, as soon as possible, Katthes revealed himself from behind the wall. "Ouch! Oh my, this hurts!" Katthes immediately pretended to be unsteady, as if his body had been pushed by someone from behind the wall. Instantly the five officers who were walking by pointed their weapons at Katthes. Their gestures became very alert to Katthes who was painfully holding his hand. "Anybody, help me!" Katthes deliberately said in a panicked voice. Actually, at that moment Ryann was almost moved to help Katthes. But Matthew, who was at the front, immediately blocked Ryann using one hand. They all noticed Jansen's instruction
"Is everything okay?" Joseph, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the military truck, looked at all the passengers through the top rearview mirror. Jansen, Katthes, and the other five simply nodded their heads. After what had happened a moment ago, the looks on the faces of Jansen and the others seemed to be extremely relieved. "I didn't expect to finally get out of that prison," said one of the men who had been smiling with relief. Jansen, Katthes, and Joseph looked at each other. They looked proud of each other after the struggle to save all these citizens. "How long have you been waiting for this moment?" asked Jansen. "I think seven years," said another woman whose hair was very shaggy. She was no longer afraid of Jansen. "Ah, I understand how you felt all those years in prison," Jansen tried to say gently. "Whatever ever happened between you, the most important thing now is that you are free of them all," said Katthes, giving them all a smile. "Hey, I'm sick
"BUNDLE!" Jansen immediately gave the code to the five citizens sitting around him. BOOM! The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed out. It was so loud that it was not far from the military truck Jansen was riding in. The military truck swayed slightly as it hit the ground. The five residents who were in the military truck suddenly held back their screams. As instructed by Jansen, they immediately got off the bench while bowing their bodies. They covered both ears tightly. On the sidelines of the residents, Jansen, who also lowered his head, then tried to straighten his head. Because the back door of the car was closed tightly, Jansen tried to see the outside condition through the gap in the door. From that gap, Jansen could see that there was a half-human monster with a human body and spider-like legs. It was crawling slowly among the rubble of the building. 'GRRRR...' Instantly Jansen lowered his head again with a panicked expression on his face. He was looki
