The man furrowed his brows and see the look of tension on Bradley's face."What are you guys doing here?""Uh, Mr. George sent us here to check what's causing the constant flashing," Bradley speaks in a stammering voice.The frown on the man's face slowly disappeared when he heard Mr. George's name mentioned."Oh, yes there is a slight problem with the engine transformer." The man sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "But, everything is safely under control.""Sir, I feel like this belongs to you." Caden handed the flashlight to the man. "We found it around here.""This is my partner's flashlight." The man furrowed his brow again. "Do you see it?"Bradley and Caden exchanged glances and simultaneously shakes their heads. Neither of them understood what the man just said and he decides walks away from them looking for his partner. Bradley and Caden don't know where they are going and finally follow the man."Strange, something might have happened to him." The man quickly paces
Bradley looks around the room like it's a maze, but it's all glass. All sides are reflections of themselves, making it confusing for everyone to find a way out. "Brad, what exactly is going on with you?" Caden asked as he walked slowly with his hands forward. "It's probably the effect of the wound I received, just like Dr .Thomas said to me." Bradley strokes his chin. “This wound must using the special plant from Mirland.” "Who is Dr. Thomas?" Caden furrowed his brows at the unfamiliar name. "Is one of the watchers just like Markus?" Bradley explained that Dr. Thomas was just an ordinary human who is an acquaintance of Madam Nigera. He is also the one who told him about the special plant in Mirland that could heal this wound permanently. Caden just moved his head every time Bradley spoke. As the minutes go by, they can not find a way out of this place at all. The temperature in this room start to be humid also makes Caden start to feel tired and chose to rest for a while. "Bra
Caden looks on in shock as his best friend disappears in front of his eyes and he can do nothing about it. Disappointment, sorrow, and anger are all mixed up in his mind. He doesn't know what to do now and It feels meaningless right now because the only person he has considered family is gone. He continues sobbing while burying his head between his legs. He doesn't realize the same tentacles are targeting him. It moves slowly walking closer to him pulling on Bradley's leg and entangling his leg. "Damn! What the ...." His body instantly pulled, making it difficult for Bradley to move. His hands looked around for something, but there is nothing and he tried to rack his brain. His eyes suddenly lock into one of the cracked mirrors he accidentally bumped into earlier. He tries touching the surface of the mirror, but his body keeps getting pulled away from it. He used his body muscles to pull his body closer to the cracked mirror and hit the surface of the glass until it shatters. The
Bradley can only swallow the saliva that is still in his throat. He just had his back against the corner and he has no idea how to get away from this. He slowly turns his head but he cannot see the tall man. His face is covered with a black cloth, a round black cowboy hat covers his head and all that is visible is the piercing gaze of a pair of brown irises. "What are you doing here?" the man asked as he continued to point the gun at Bradley. "I-I need some heat because I keep shivering." Bradley keeps his head down as his body continues to tremble. "I don't mean to steal your stuff." The man sighs deeply at Bradley's face, which doesn't look like an evil person at all. "Well, if you say so." The man then lowered the muzzle of his gun and looked at the rabbit carcass lying with fresh blood still flowing. "This must be that thing." “Do you mean night catcher?” The man furrows his brows and slowly removes the cloth covering the man's face. "Hey, how do you know it?" "That thing i
Curiosity makes him continue to step closer to Mikaela and sees a tall woman with white skin talking to Mikaela. "Mikaela, who is she?" Bradley raised his eyebrows and showed a look of confusion. "Oh, she's Mrs. Meredith, the owner of this place." The woman's long hair almost covers her face and only shows a mouth with black lipstick. Without saying much she hands over a glass with a strange liquid in it. "Uh, what's that?" Bradley asked curiously. "Thank you, but I don't want to drink it." Bradley gently pushed the glass away from him. "The smell makes me nauseous, too." Mikaela taps Bradley on the shoulder and tried to calm him down. "Hey, calm down. Just follow Mrs. Meredith's words and your wounds can heal, okay?" Bradley initially hesitated, but he has no other choice. He has come so far and the only person willing to help him is this strange woman in front of him. "Uh, okay." Bradley picks up the glass and slowly takes a sip. A strange taste enters his throat causing him
Bradley raises his eyeballs in disbelief at Mikaela's words and tries to figure out why his father hates him so much. Mikaela says the thing that makes his father so angry with him is that he goes and spent the money he inherited. "I should have used that money to go to the big city and pursue my dreams, but ...." Mikaela sighed as if trying to forget the memory. "I choose to satisfy my lust and use the money to gamble and drink." " Jesus, Mikaela." Bradley raised his eyebrows at the words coming out of Mikaela's mouth. "But I'm pretty sure your father will forgive you." Mikaela is silent for a moment and slowly moves his head towards Bradley. He wonders why Bradley will say such a thing and immediately says Bradley is just being pretentious and just trying to cheer him up. "Mikaela, you should be grateful for having parents who love you so much." Bradley patted Mikaela's shoulder. "I can't feel that way at all because I'm an orphanage child." Bradley lowered his head down languid
The three of them run as fast as they can until they reach the door of the mine. In front of the mine door, there are two muscular men standing guard while looking at the faces of everyone who goes inside. "Gosh, how do we get past them?" Mikaela furrowed her brows in curiosity. "We lose, we can't fight them." Mikaela and Bradley are silent for a moment as they think about the possibilities. The little girl pulls on Bradley's sleeve and points to the side and there are a lot of thick and numerous trees. "Sir, over there is some kind of tunnel. I once saw someone trying to get through this way.." "That tunnel may be a good idea." Bradley snapped his fingers. "What do you think, Mikaela?" Mikaela stroked his chin and furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey, let's try then." The three of them walk slowly through wild bushes and trees. However, when they get there, the tunnel door closes using a large rock it's impossible to move it. "Argh, Damn!" Mikaela grumbled in annoyance. "Now, what do
The agonized looks on the slaves' faces keep replaying in his mind, causing Bradley to pause and reflect. "Hey, Bradley what are you doing?" Mikaela's snap brought Bradley to his senses. "Come on, we need to focus." "Oh yeah, sorry." Bradley smiled as he scratched his head. Suddenly Elis runs towards one of the cages and her steps stop. Her tears slowly flow down the curves of her round face. The two of them immediately run over to Elis and see the yellow-haired man lying limply on the ground. His back is full of so many whip wounds. Elis notices the man is his brother because of the birthmark on his back. "Brother! Brother!" Elis keeps shouting for her brother who looked unconscious. "Wake up brother!" Bradley searches for something to break the padlock covering the cages and a medium-sized piece of iron is the tool he uses. "Elis, step back and I'll open the lock." Mikaela pulls Elis away from the bars and Bradley hit the surface of the padlock repeatedly until it shatters.
