Chapter 49: What?
Sam tied up John and knew he had him right where he wanted and he had no plans on rushing it even though he had a limited timeframe to work with.
He knew that people were coming but he didn’t know when or how they would come. freewebnσvel.cѳm
John had asked him what he wanted but Sam didn’t give him much of a response.
John. for the first time, looked genuinely worried as he understood why Max lost to this man before him.
He was blindfolded and gagged, being in the military meant he had a knack for torturing.
Sam took out a dagger and John waited in anguish for Sam to act out whatever depraved thing he had on his mind.
He jumped the moment the sharp knife made contact with his skin, the tip wasn’t pushed into his skin but instead, Sam ran it gently on top.
John found his heart racing, he tried to speak but couldn’t, this told him that Sam intended to intimidate or possibly torture him before questioning him.
This made John uneasy and a sharp pain was soon felt on his forearm but it wasn’t a stab.
Sam had dug his blade into his skin and cut out a piece of it, John tried to scream and break out of his bind with force but this was in vain.
Sam was satisfied with this reaction and removed John’s guard in hopes that he would talk.
"Y-You crazy fucker!" John cussed out and Sam wasn’t happy with this response.
"I guess you aren’t ready. I wouldn’t mind another piece of your skin..." Sam said as John could feel the gag dangling around his neck being moved.
He jolted because he knew what was coming next, this was something he wasn’t mentally prepared for.
There was no point hanging on to this information if it meant saving his skin.
John wasn’t a selfless person and would always put himself first ahead of the group.
"S-Stop! I will fucking tell you anything!" John conceded but Sam was surprised how easy it was to break him.
He thought he would be a lot tougher but this was only because he was used to torturing prisoners of war, criminals with real resolve.
"Your settlement, where is it located?" Sam got right to it and this question shook John because he didn’t tell him about a settlement so how did he know?
John realized at that moment that something was up, he also remembered the description he gave about his type of girl fitting Bella perfectly.
At the moment, John thought nothing of it but now he was realizing that Sam had him all along.
"You know where she is..." John responded in disbelief, he couldn’t believe it took him this long to figure it out.
"Now you understand why I said calling you stupid was an understatement, don’t you?" Sam responded. John was blindfolded so he didn’t know where Sam was and this increased his paranoia.
"Bella is with us and I’m not going to let you hurt her..." Sam said and John just chuckled in response to this.
"You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into!" John tried to faze him.
"I know about your little friends coming but can I tell you something...?" Sam said, pausing momentarily.
"My dad didn’t train me to handle a gun. I’m a soldier and with this amount of weapons, I can take down as many people as you throw at me," Sam boasted but John’s laugh only got louder.
"You don’t get it! They aren’t the threat...." John’s tone told Sam something that he didn’t know.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked but John had the advantage of information on his side.
"You will find out soon enough!" John said and Sam knew at that moment that this was going to be a lot more difficult than he thought.

Bella’s eyes shot open but there was something different in them, she looked to her left to see Jason, who had trouble falling asleep, napping soundly beside her.
Bella was replenished somewhat because she had one hell of a day thanks to Jason’s sexual appetite. She liked the fact that Jason could satisfy her sexually, contrary to the belief, women enjoyed sex a lot more than men.
And this holds especially true for good sex, Bella couldn’t get enough because orgasms for women were increasingly rare and her luck was that she found a man that could do so.
Jason and Bella had a mutual understanding, their relationship was strictly physical, and there were no strings attached.
That was to be expected, the fact that he hadn’t gotten decent rest for so long was impressive.
Bella got up from the bed and walked out of the room.
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
[Ding!]
Jason nearly fell off the bed because the ringing in his head was loud enough to give him a migraine. It was like an alarm placed right in his ear.
"FUCKING BLOODY FUCKING HELL CHRONOS!" Jason was dazed and disgruntled but he hoped that he didn’t disturb Bella.
Jason looked over to his left and noticed that Bella wasn’t in bed which wasn’t strange, it could be that she went to use the bathroom.
[Side Quest Received!]
"For crying out late you stupid bot! I was fucking sleeping! Why couldn’t this fucking wait?" Jason was frustrated, he couldn’t believe that this was happening.
[Follow Bella Silently!]
Chronos said and this forced Jason to raise a brow,
"Huh? Why? Give me one good reason why I should become a stalker just because you said so!" Jason questioned with a raised eyebrow.
[Threat Level: ??]
[Error: Cannot Read Threat Level!]
[Eliminate The Threat!]
Jason didn’t understand what was going on, this has never happened before and what the hell did he mean by eliminating the threat?
There was no way that Bella could be a threat, there had to be some sort of mistake because now he had two quests that were running simultaneously. Jason got up from his bed, he had to be rational and he knew that if Bella was indeed a threat then he would have no choice but take the necessary steps to protect Lillian and Rachel.
Jason did just as he was told.
