Chapter 98: Kidnapped!
"Excuse me? Are you talking to us?" Jason asked innocently, glancing at the bald, ugly man.
"Yes! You!" the bald thug barked, stepping closer until he was right in front of them.
He added, "You two are coming with us. No questions, no resistance. Because if you make me repeat myself..." He raised the gun slightly, flashing it with a twisted grin. "...I’ll have to play with my toy."
The bald, ugly thug’s threat was filled with mockery as he pointed the weapon at Jason, clearly enjoying the power.
"W-What...? Why do you want to hurt us...?" Jason stammered, feigning panic—but inside, he was laughing.
Noah was utterly speechless, gazing at Jason’s expression, which didn’t reveal his fear at all, instead showing his confidence.
’Can you act more convincingly?’
Jason pressed his lips together to hide his smile. ’Does it look too obvious?’ he asked.
’Hmm, without a doubt!’
’Man, I’ll try to act more natural...’ Jason laughed inwardly. Still, his expression gradually shifted to one of fear as his eyes landed on the bald man.
"Stop asking! Follow me now, or I’ll use violence..." the bald, ugly man barked again, his glare sharp as it cut toward Jason. But then his gaze shifted quickly to Noah, and in an instant, surprise flashed in his eyes, only to be swiftly replaced by fear.
"Y-You... too..." His voice was no longer fierce like before. When addressing Jason, he’d been aggressive, but now it sounded shaken.
