231 Captured
Selma Payne’s POV:
“Let’s be clear-you have no right to use your past as an excuse for revenge. Why should you feel wronged? That girl did express her feelings to you first, but do you dare to swear to Moon Goddess that you loved her and had no intention of using her family background to make a name for yourself?
“Stop acting like you’re pure who doesn’t bow down for five buckets of rice. You keep denouncing the nobles’ privilege, but do you really hate it, or are you resentful that you’re not the one who has the privilege?
“You’re too stupid, Yuri. You’re an idiot who can’t hide your schemes, yet you’re still smug about it. You made such a big deal out of it that the heartbroken girl left you. And what did you do? You didn’t reflect on your mistakes at all and instead tried to force her family to agree to your marriage by defiling a young girl’s innocence.
“Oh my god, have you watched too many palace dramas? Destroying the so-called ‘chastity’ would only traumatize the girl for the rest of her life. As long as her parents were not mentally retarded, they would never agree to their daughter marrying a rapist. And you, Yuri Marvel, you will be sentenced for attempted rape of an underage girl, and you will live under the control of others for the rest of your life. You won’t even be able to keep your identity as a warrior today, let alone achieve meteoric success.
“I don’t expect people like you to recognize your mistakes. You only have to stretch out your hands for us to tie them obediently. I’ll throw up last night’s meal if I look at such a disgusting person like you!”
Under everyone’s gazes, Yuri, who I had just exposed, was about to explode from embarrassment and anger. He panted heavily, his limbs convulsing in a sickly manner, and his eyes stared at me as if they were on fire. However, I was already used to his mad bull-like behavior and directly gestured to the team members beside me to subdue him.
However, the situation changed in an instant.
“Let me see, where did this puppy come from?”
A rough male voice suddenly interrupted us. We looked up and were shocked to find that the rocks were filled with humans!
“You!”
Other than Yuri, who else could have done this?
“You’re stalling for time!”
Seeing that his ally had arrived, Yuri was very proud. “Yes, it’s me. Why? Did our great Captain Selma not see any clues? Vigilance is the most basic quality of a werewolf warrior. With your level, you are still far from it!”
“How did you do it?” I couldn’t believe it. Even if I didn’t notice it, it was impossible for so many experienced members not to notice it. The senses of werewolves were much sharper than humans. Even the slightest movement shouldn’t have escaped our eyes.
Yuri didn’t say anything. He had just joined the human camp that surrounded us.
Roughly counting, there were forty to fifty humans with guns. We didn’t have the advantage in numbers. Of course, we were good in terms of strength. Even the strongest human couldn’t beat the slimmest team member. However, physical strength was no longer important with the enhancement of firearms.
Aldrich was right about one thing, the impression of the weak humans in the werewolves’ eyes was no longer what they looked like in the old era.
The team members were all waiting for my orders. Should we force our way in or surrender?
Of course, I could guarantee my safety. New Flow could easily turn a strong man into a patient. But what about the team members? Bullets didn’t have eyes. Looking at how these humans looked like they were dressed in silver, the bullets in their guns were probably silver.
It was better to pretend to be captured and wait for the opportunity to escape in the dead of night.
I was the first to raise my hand slowly. The other members saw this and also surrendered.
“Good dog,” the bearded man who spoke first tied me up with a leather rope mixed with silver wire. What reward do you want? A sausage? Or a new collar?”
“Cut the crap, sunny man.” Pretending to surrender didn’t mean that I would swallow my anger. “What now? Has your life failed so much that you want to find a sense of accomplishment by talking dirty to the captives?”
The human instantly laughed, but the big-bearded man was not angry. He only said with hidden meaning, “Sharp-tongued girl, I hope you enjoy our hospitality.”
Come on, Locke, she doesn’t even like you.” A few rough men joined in. “It seems that the trip to the snow mountain has made our sharpshooter bored to death!”
Locke laughed as he cursed. He carried me and left with his companions.
We were locked up in a hidden cave in the human camp. Besides the entrance that was firmly sealed off by a silver-plated iron door, we were surrounded by hard and cold rock formations on all four sides. There was no way to break through from the inside. The warriors and I were locked up together while Master Kevin was brought to a tent by the humans.
“Hey! I’m the leader. If you have any problems, come at me!” I struggled to make them shift their attention from Master Kevin to me.
However, the humans were unmoved. Locke threw me into the cave and moved his arms. “Don’t worry, little girl. Everyone will get a share. It will be your turn soon.”
I was going crazy. Unlike the soldiers, Master Kevin had never received any interrogation training and didn’t know how to deal with an interrogation full of traps. I wouldn’t naively bet on the friendliness of humans toward werewolves. Even if they didn’t torture Master Kevin, they must be saints.
