Chapter 28

When I came to, I'm inside an unknown building. My mouth is covered. Hands and legs are tied. I can't move even with my strength.

Beside me is Marina who seems to be awoken earlier than me. She's in the same state as me. Hands and legs tied and mouth covered.

My earbuds seem to have been discovered. My phones and purse are missing. They seem to have taken them.

I checked my body. I'm still wearing my clothes Seems like they really haven't done anything yet to me.

More importantly, where's Anita? Where's my cousin?

I look at Marina and she's turning her eyes and I followed her eyes to see that there are several people there. Not all of them are men. There's a woman as well.

Wait, is that Anita? What happened to her?

"Boss, we caught her as well since she's with Jade. She's the manager of the group. What should we do with her?" someone asked.

Anita is already awake. Seems like they were curious about her so they woke her up first.

"Hmm? What do you think? You're selling two of the members of Wishing Well for money. What about the manager?"

The one called their boss is talking to someone in suit. It's someone I know. He's the president of the agency we're working for.

He was newly appointed as the president before we signed for the agency. Back when Anita had just started working there.

Before that, there were rumors of some missing actresses as well. But the agency said that they had suddenly retired.

Now that I think about it, it was suspicious. Because those actresses were young and talented. It's nearly impossible for them to suddenly disappear when they were just about to be famous.

Does it mean that the president has been doing it for a while already? Since he was appointed as the President?

That guy is the worst. He's selling the celebrities under him to a human trafficking organization. I want him dead.

But for now, let's be calm and see the situation. Even Marina beside me is trying to be calm. And Anita is still safe for now.

"Her? I don't know because I didn't care about the staffs there. If you think she's pretty, can you sell her for money as well?" the president asked.

He's going to sell my cousin?! He deserves to die!

"Is she a superhuman? If she's a virgin superhuman, then we can sell her for just a bit less than the other two. If she's not a virgin, then the price will be lowered even more. Many people are looking for those who are virgins. And they want superhumans because they can maintain their beauty for longer time. So instead of buying them make up or something, they just need to get them level up. They can also be used as manpower. So most of the buyers love superhumans," the boss of the organization said.

"Then she's not worth much. Unless the buyer has a way to get her awakened. I don't think she's a superhuman. Well, you can do anything you want with her. It's not like we can just free her after you captured her," the president said.

"Then we will pay you for the two members of the Wishing Well. Consider that this woman is a reward for my men," the boss said.

Hearing that the men became excited.

"Finally! She looks as pretty as other girls we captured. And finally, we can have some fun with someone so pretty!"

"Get in line! I'll be the first!"

It's really happening. Something that Kai told us about!

Endure it, Anita! Resist as long as possible!

I checked my body to see if there's any magic device around me. I don't have any. They took them away.

But I see some people with their phones out taking pictures of Anita who is being stripped. They are removing her clothes.

I don't want to see it. But if Kai is late, then I will be the one to protect her one way or another.

Come on, Kai! Where are you!?

They finally remove the cloth covering Anita's mouth. So Anita can scream as much as she wants for help.

"Stop it! Somebody help! Members of Wishing Well are captured here!"

Nice. Since there are people with their phones here the hacker should be able to track us, right? I hope that's the case. The hacker will hear Anita after she said Wishing Well.

"Help won't come. This is a warehouse far from residential area. The only people here are those who kidnapped you. Help will never come no matter how loud you're screaming."

Their boss and the president are walking away from them and get closer to us. The president looked at us as if we're his merchandise he just sold. Not as a human being.

"Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow, you will be suddenly retired."

"What the fuck? That's disgusting!"

All of a sudden, someone who was about to assault Anita seems to be shocked after seeing something. They finally removed all her clothes it seems. And it means that her body is visible for everyone.

Anita is beautiful. She's actually prettier than me before I was awakened. But because of her abusive parents, my aunt, she received a permanent scar.

Her alcoholic mother poured boiling water on her own daughter's body as a punishment. Making her body covered with burn marks. Including his chest. That makes her feel complex about her own body and because of that she always wore clothes that cover almost her entire body. Except her face and her hands, most of her body was burned and turned ugly.

Even Marina was shocked to see that. But I already knew that.

Anita wasn't totally panicked when she was told that the worst could happen to her. Because she knew that men would lose their interest after seeing burn marks on her body.

But even so, I understand her feeling. There's no woman out there who wants to be called disgusting no matter what. Even if she's prepared for it, her mental state might not be good enough.

"What's wrong? Eww, that's disgusting," the president said.

Please no more. Anita doesn't have strong mentality. If you call her disgusting any more than this, she won't be able to recover.

Someone, please help.

"What's that sound?"

All of a sudden, everyone stopped when they hear something from outside of the warehouse. I can hear it. It sounds like a motorcycle. Not just one, but several of them.

"Are they doing illegal street race here?"

"No idiots would race all the way here. They might be being chased by cops if they come all the way here. Someone go out there and check. I have no interest in this woman anymore."

But the sounds of the bikes are getting closer and closer.

"They are coming here! A lot of people are coming here!"

Is it Kai? He said that he asked some help. Is he finally here?

And when I thought of that, someone riding a bike entered through the door and crashed into several people in front of him. As for the one riding the bike, he jumped before he crashed.

"Oh, I'm finally here! I'm bringing reinforcement with me so you can be assured," the man wearing black suit is Kai. The one that Bora hired to help her before. He's really here.

"Who the fuck are you?!"

As soon as someone asked for his identity, Kai didn't bother to reply. He grabbed his knife and pierced it through the guy's throat.

"Why ask? This is simply a battlefield where you kill or get killed. This is what happened when you kidnapped members of Wishing Well. I'm half a fan of theirs, you know?" Kai said.

He's younger than me. But he killed someone so easily.

Instead of being afraid of his decisiveness, I feel reassured. Because he kept his promise. We are saved.

"Kill him!"

The boss shouted to his henchmen to kill Kai. But before the others could move, more bikes come and enter the warehouse. They must be Kai's reinforcement.

"We're here! We're ready to fight!"

There's also one car. According to the hacker before, he must be the other one who was protecting Bora from the shadow.

With this many people, we are sure to be saved.

"Come on, let's fight! A criminal organization doing humans trafficking against a biker gang! Who will win?!" Kai shouted.

…What?

Not just me, but all of them are shocked to hear Kai's announcement.

"What the fuck?! A criminal organization?! We're just a biker gang you shithead!" one of the bikers that Kai brought shouted.

Oh no. We're doomed. And even from here, I can see the relieved expression of the people who captured me.

"Hah, it's just a biker gang! Everyone, kill them all!" the boss shouted.

"Then, let's change it. It's an entire criminal organization against me alone!"

After he said that confidently, he swung his knife around. And several headless bodies dropped to the floor. He quickly killed some of them on his own.

Now I'm relieved again. He's stronger than expected.

He made me scared, then made me feel relieved, then made me feel scared again, before making me feel relieved again. What the hell is up with that boy?!
