The man glanced behind him and, to his dismay, discovered that the room had no windows.
The only way to escape was through the front door.
But...
Eleven burly thugs were blocking the front door.
Even if he fought with all his might, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Sweet watched the couple with cold eyes.
They were used to being arrogant in Light Town and had never suffered such a loss.
They immediately blamed the death of Tein on the young couple.
So...
Two more men stepped forward, intending to grab the man and brutally interrogate and torture him.
And while they were at it, let off some steam.
But they didn't expect...
As soon as the two men grabbed the man, they, like the one who had died earlier, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The remaining nine men looked on in horror.
This time...
Their suspicion of the young couple turned directly into certainty.
They were convinced that their companions' deaths were due to this young couple.
They believed the couple had secretly attacked them using despicable methods.
"What are you?" Sweet asked in a cold voice.
Wes and the woman remained silent.
They were also very confused right now.
"Could it be that a master is secretly helping us?"
Their hearts, which had been filled with despair, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Meanwhile, Sweet and the others, seeing that the two remained silent, once again attacked in anger.
"You, you, you, the four of you, go and grab that woman."
"Be careful of any tricks from the two of them."
"The rest of us will keep an eye on them."
The men who were called upon looked distressed.
Their companions' bodies were still lying there.
However...
Intimidated by Sweet's authority, they dared not resist.
They cautiously approached Wes and the woman.
When they reached them, they found no abnormalities.
The four men were overjoyed.
They arrogantly reached out to grab the woman again.
"It must be the man who's the problem!"
"If we change our target to the woman, nothing will happen."
With this thought in mind, the four men's hands all touched the woman.
The next moment...
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Four thudding sounds echoed as four more bodies fell to the ground.
This caused the remaining members of the thug gang, who had intended to capture the two and torture them to death, to turn pale.
The deaths of these four men became the last straw that broke them.
"Run! There's something wrong with these two!"
"They practice witchcraft! Black magic!"
"Quick, quick, find a priest to deal with them."
"These two are definitely evil, ominous beings!"
The usually arrogant thugs were startled.
They dared not stay any longer and turned to flee.
They were afraid that if they were slow, they would follow in the footsteps of their companions.
When they arrived, there were twelve people in the thug gang.
But now...
Only five remained.
Watching their retreating figures, the couple's eyes were filled with confusion.
The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Let's run too!"
"If we're too late, it'll be dangerous!"
As his voice fell, the two prepared to leave.
However, just then, the woman's foot suddenly hurt, as if she had kicked something hard.
"Ah!" she cried out in pain, quickly covering her foot and rubbing it.
"What's wrong?" the man asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I just bumped my foot a little," the woman replied with some pain.
Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from inside the room.
Then, to the horror of the two, the large bed placed on the wooden board suddenly sank.
A secret passage appeared before their eyes.
The two exchanged glances and, with a hint of curiosity, looked into the passage.
