Chapter 124: CH 124: Not who we thought (WMR2)
As Dave walked through the city streets, with the Berad Beast’s massive strides devouring the distance, he eventually arrived at a large establishment with an imposing black gate. The gate seemed to loom over them, its metal bars adorned with intricate designs that seemed both elegant and menacing.
The three men tied behind him exchanged nervous glances. "He’s here. He’s really here," Kurt whispered, his voice trembling. "What do you think will happen? The leader is definitely going to kill us," Kurt added, his eyes wide with fear.
Peter shot him a stern look. "Is that your concern right now? I’m more concerned about what will happen to us and everyone else inside." He nodded towards Dave, his eyes fixed on his imposing figure. "Can’t you see this person? He doesn’t let go of grudges, not until he’s obtained his revenge. That’s why we’re tied to the beast like this. He’s revenging on us for almost killing him, and that’s why he’s only giving us a similar punishment. It’s also the reason why we haven’t died yet."
Dave’s eyes sparkled with amusement as he listened to Peter’s words, his lips curved with a smirk as he then turned around to speak.
"I must commend you," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You’re really a smart person. Yes, I don’t plan on killing you guys, unless you provoke me otherwise." His gaze then shifted back to the gate, "Same goes for your fellow group members hidden behind this gate."
Dave’s expression turned serious, his voice firm. "What I’m here to do is to take back my own people, but if any of your people won’t let me, then I’ll have no other choice but to take them down." He said with his eyes narrowed, and a stern gaze. "And I also want to know why your leader, Kim Hyun, had taken them." The air seemed to grow heavier with anticipation. It hung down like a palpable weight.
The three men’s eyes met, and they exchanged a look of confusion and amusement. "Our leader’s name is Kim Hyun?!" The words hung in the air, and their reactions were palpable. It wasn’t just surprise at learning their leader’s name; there was something more to it.
Kurt’s brow furrowed. "It couldn’t be a coincidence, right? Maybe it’s just someone with a similar name?" His tone was laced with doubt.
Jeff’s expression turned thoughtful. "I don’t think so. If it’s really Kim Hyun, then there’s no doubt it’s the same person." His voice was low, his words dripping with a mix of feelings.
