82. A Desperate Escape [2]
The pain he had already become familiar with from using the limited skill immediately surged through his entire body. His muscles felt as if they had just been forced to work without stopping, while every joint felt heavy as though it had been filled with lead.Ken gritted his teeth.Yeah… this is the part I hate the most.He did not move. Not because he did not want to, but because his body simply was not ready to cooperate.People began to notice him. A woman passing by stopped a few steps away from Ken.“Poor thing… He looks sick.”The man beside her nodded. The woman took a few coins from her bag and placed them beside Ken.Ken, who was still covering his face with the tattered cloth, opened one eye.Oh no, no. You’ve got it all wrong.Someone placed another coin down. Then another followed, making Ken grimace.You’ve really got it wrong. I’m not homeless.But he could not explain himself. If he revealed his face now, the people who came might not be kind-hearted at all. So Ken si
81. A Desperate Escape
Ken drove the motorbike as fast as he dared.The speedometer kept climbing, while the wind mercilessly battered his face. His hands gripped the handlebars tightly, and every time a vehicle appeared in front of him, he immediately changed direction with a sharp movement without giving himself too much time to think.[Route Optimized activated.]The transparent red screen appeared again in the corner of his vision.The fastest route formed in his mind, cutting through several smaller roads before leading toward a longer main road. Ken did not know whether those people were still chasing him, but one thing was clear: he could not stay on an easily predictable route.“If I get caught again…” he muttered as he swallowed. “I really need to start looking for a more normal job.”The motorbike traveled farther and farther away from the building.The main road indicated by Route Optimized turned out not to be too crowded. Several vehicles were still passing by, but they were spaced far enough a
80. The Way Out [2]
The door began to open, followed by the sudden sound of a loud impact coming from outside. Everyone immediately stopped.Someone shouted from a distance.“Don’t let them in! Catch them!”“Tsk, you think you can stop us, huh! We’re here to cause trouble, haha!”“Hey, stop or you’ll regret it!”The sound of running footsteps filled the hallway. Then the sound of something falling was heard, followed by the sound of blows that made Ken’s guards immediately turn around.“What’s happening?” one of them asked.There was no answer. Instead, two people were suddenly thrown through the newly opened door and slammed into the wall in front of them.Ken froze.Outside, chaos had already broken out.Several men he did not recognize at all were fighting with his kidnappers. There were quite a lot of them, and neither side seemed willing to back down.“Who are they?” one of Ken’s guards cursed.“I don’t know! Don’t let them in here!”Everyone’s attention was divided.Ken looked at the red screen in
79. The Way Out
Ken was finally brought out of the room. Every time he slowed his steps, one of them immediately pulled his arm harder, as if they were afraid that this ordinary delivery guy might suddenly disappear just like that.Ken did not try to fight back, not because he had given up, but because since leaving the room earlier, he had not found a single opening.The hallway they passed through was narrow, there were too many of them, and every one of his movements was being watched. Even when he deliberately looked back, the man behind him immediately stared at him sharply as if he knew he was looking for a way to escape.“Don’t move around too much,” the man on his left snapped.“I’m trying to remember where I put the item, tsk,” Ken replied softly.Ken snorted inwardly. These guys really don’t know how to treat a customer.However, at the corner of his vision, something that no one else could see began to move.A transparent red screen appeared silently in the corner of his vision. Ken stared
78. Cornered
Ken was still sitting tied to the chair. He used the opportunity to think. The problem was, the longer he thought, the more bad possibilities appeared in his mind.He had to escape.That much was clear.What was not clear was how.Ken looked at both of his hands, which were still tied, then looked around the room once again. There were no sharp objects, no windows, no ventilation openings large enough to pass through, and even the chair he was sitting on felt like it had been deliberately chosen because it was heavy enough to make it difficult for him to move.He tried to remember the movies he had watched.Unfortunately, there weren't many.Ken almost never had time to watch movies. Most of his time was spent working, looking for orders, delivering packages, and calculating whether the money he had was enough to survive until the end of the month.He used to be in college.However, financial problems had forced him to quit halfway through and choose to work harder. At that time, mos
77. A Familiar Face
A car stopped in front of the alley leading to the rented house.Audrey opened the door and got out without saying much. As soon as her feet touched the sidewalk, she immediately realized that something was different from usual.Several people had gathered around the entrance of the alley.Some residents stood in groups while whispering, while others occasionally glanced toward the inside of the alley. The atmosphere was far too crowded for it to be just a minor disturbance.Audrey frowned. She was about to walk past them when a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.“Audrey.”Audrey turned around. A middle-aged woman was standing beside her, Mrs. Sarmer, the woman who rented the house to them.“Oh, Mrs. Sarmer?”Mrs. Sarmer immediately pulled Audrey a little farther away from the crowd. Her face looked worried, and before Audrey could ask, the woman had already begun whispering.“Don’t go in yet.”Audrey looked at her with slight confusion but remained calm.“Why? What happened?”“Oh, there
