As soon as Bran had shifted the shelf completely, I could see a wooden door.
"Before opening this, I have a request." Bran said as he kept his back to the others.
"What's that?" Tosa replied.
The swordsman glanced slightly at that man. "You know, my sister...."
"Yeah, your older sister is one of Suja's concubines." Tosa cut off the conversation, then smiled broadly. "Don't worry, we won't do anything to her, really."
Bran was silent for a moment before finally pushing the door open. We were greeted by a brick-walled hallway with a staircase that led down.
"Basement?" Tosa smirked. "I just found out there's something like this in our tribe."
"Who is that!?" Suja's voice echoed from the end of the hall.
"It's me Bran, Your Majesty!" Bran answered while picking up a lantern made of metal framework hanging from the wall. "I will come there!"
"Bran?" Suja asked again when Bran and the others had started descending the stairs. "Has the rebellion of Tosa's group been stopped!?"
"We did it, Your Majesty." Bran answered again. "I'm coming down with the rest of the squad to pick you up."
In the middle of the stairs, Tosa whispered to one of his colleagues.
"Then hurry over here and take me out!" Suja sounds impatient. "It's so uncomfortable in here! I feel hot and it's hard to breathe!"
A few steps later, we came to a large, almost empty room, only a few bags of belongings and a wooden chair.
Suja, getting up from that chair, immediately snorted at Bran. "Why take so long!?"
The tribe leader gasped. So did the women, who were sitting cross-legged on the floor, close to Suja's chair.
Since the only light came from a few dim hanging lanterns, they didn't immediately notice who the people behind Bran were.
"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. We couldn't carry your fat body up those stairs." Tosa smiled with satisfaction, then took the lantern brought by Bran.
Bran raised an eyebrow, then a member of Tosa's group slit his throat from behind. The swordsman immediately collapsed with a thick red liquid dripping from his neck.
"Brannn!!!" One of Suja's concubines, pale-skinned like Bran, approached the swordsman and wept. Realizing the man didn't respond even though his body was shaken, the woman snapped at Tosa. "Why!? Why did you kill my little brother!?"
Tosa shrugged. "Your brother has been an idiot since childhood. He's so easy to take advantage of. He asked me to spare him and you when we found out about this hiding place. He should have said that before he showed me this place."
"I didn't ask that!!!" Bran's sister screamed even more hysterically. Her tears were falling even harder. "Why did you have to kill my little brother!? He already brought you here! That means he's given up and won't fight back, right!?"
Tosa crouched down and hissed in the woman's face. "Bran is very loyal to Suja, even though in the end your brother betrayed our leader by showing us this place. If he is allowed to live, he may hold grudges with us, and could interfere with my leadership later."
"Your leadership!?" Suja snapped, with his face starting to turn red. "Who gave you the title, huh!?"
Tosa stood up, grinning, "Who gave me the title? Well, it's me, Suja. I gave the title to me."
Suja's eyes widen. His mouth opened and closed but made no sound.
"Hey, Tosa." One of the group members approached the man. "Shall we have some fun with these ladies? They are the most attractive women in our tribe! It would be fun to play with them!"
The women flinched and ran to one corner of the room, including Bran's older sister.
"Oh, I think the same as you. Think of this as your reward for helping me." Tosa chuckled, looking at the women who were now cornered. "But unfortunately, there are only one, two...." The man counted by pointing at the concubines of Suja one by one. "There's only five.... Hmmm.... Come to think of it, why were they brought here too, huh? Ah, maybe Suja still wants to use his dick even though he's hiding. He doesn't want his dick to get rusty."
Tosa's followers laughed vulgarly.
"How dare you say that in front of me..." Suja growled. His face was getting redder, and his body was shaking violently. "I will sell you as slaves!"
"Ah, looks like Suja's other bitches are hiding somewhere else because it gets stuffy in here if there are too many people." Tosa continued his speech, completely ignoring Suja. "We should look for them, because they are close to Suja. Maybe we should also look for Suja's other sympathizers...."
"Don't ignore your leader!!!" Suja approaches Tosa until the distance between the two is very close.
Tosa raised his hand so his men would not do anything, then faced Suja with a relaxed motion.
"Ah, how disrespectful I have been to you, Your Majesty." Tosa smiled broadly at Suja's angry face.
Suddenly Tosa kicked the leader's genitals hard. Suja's mouth gaped very wide, then he knelt down, holding his crotch.
"My friends, please have fun." Tosa pointed at the women, who looked more and more frightened. Some of them even cried.
The members of Tosa's group came up to the women with creepy giggles. The women tried to run away, screaming hysterically, but Tosa's men caught them easily.
Seeing Suja, who was still kneeling and grimacing in pain, Tosa opened her mouth slightly, taking a deep breath. His expressions and gestures seemed to indicate that he had just felt immense pleasure.
"Already feeling inferior like your own people?" Tosa mumbled.
"You will pay for all this." Suja lifted his head with a face full of anger, even though tears were falling. "You will receive the most severe punishment that you can't imagine."
Tosa smiled widely again, then shook his head. "Oh, I don't think so."
Suja was about to speak again, but Tosa punched him in the face.
The desperate screams of the Suja ladies rang painfully in my ears. I didn't want to see any of that and chose to turn around.
This game has gone too far.
