I’m Someone Else

“If you reveal the mastermind behind all this, I’ll let you go. Judging by your skills, you must be quite wealthy, right? You can easily afford a top-notch doctor to treat your injuries and ensure a full recovery, but things will be different if you refuse to speak. Oh, and let me remind you that what just transpired was merely the beginning. Do you know how many bones are in the human body? A total of 206! Other than your finger and waist, that leaves 204! It’s up to you to decide what happens next!”

Gulp! The man swallowed hard, finally understanding Thomas’ intentions. Is he going to break each and every bone in my body? At this thought, he felt an overwhelming sense of panic. He wasn’t afraid of death, but that didn’t mean he could withstand inhumane torture. When his finger was crushed, he felt excruciating pain radiating throughout his body. If he didn’t reveal the mastermind, that moment of pain would only be the beginning of a long and terrifying nightmare.

He had no doubt about the credibility of Thomas’ words. He could sense an aura of death emanating from Thomas, believing that if he remained silent, Thomas would not hesitate to kill him. It wouldn’t be an ordinary death but rather a sadistic one.

Another one of his fingers was gruesomely crushed by Thomas’ relentless force.

Meanwhile, Molly and Chloe, standing bewildered in the living room, trembled involuntarily upon hearing the agonizing cry. Chloe, in particular, instinctively thought it was Thomas, so she prepared to dash to the kitchen without hesitation.

“Wait!” Molly, still relatively composed, grabbed hold of her. “Don’t disturb him. Trust me, that scream wasn’t his.”

After hearing this, Chloe relented.
