Chapter 234: It Ain’t Easy Being Alice I
It was night in a certain town park, and there was tension brewing.
A burly man had his grip tight around a woman's neck. He stood defiantly before William and shouted, "Don't come any closer, or I'll snap her neck!"
William smiled and said, "You don't want to do that."
"Oh yeah? Why not?!" the man scoffed, puffing out his chest. "Because I'll—"
"Because you're outmatched," a woman's voice cut him off.
She was standing a few feet behind him with her Sharingan activated. The man sharply turned, dragging his hostage with him.
"You think just because you have some fancy eyes, you can scare me?" he boasted. "I'm willing to risk it all to get out of prison!"
His arrogance, however, was about to meet its demise. For what struck as odd was his hostage's reaction; she seemed unnaturally still, too calm for a captive woman.
"Why aren't ya scared?" the man suddenly blurted, perplexed. "Hey! Why aren't you squirming?"
His grip loosened just a fraction due to his confusion. The woman blinked at him, her face devoid of fear, as if she wasn't quite aware he had been speaking.
"Is that all I gotta do?" she murmured, almost to herself.
