December 24th.
In the dead of night, the first thing Xin realized upon waking was that he was in an unfamiliar place.
He was bound from head to toe, unable to move.
"You're awake."
Guan Tong's voice rang out.
Xin looked up. The man was standing not far in front of him.
Standing beside Guan Tong was Shangyuan Zi.
And Suzuki, who was staring at him with eyes full of hatred.
Xin's heart sank as he quickly recalled what had happened.
He had been preparing to counter Guan Tong's Instant Teleportation attack, but something had gone wrong. It was as if time had hiccuped; by the time he realized it, he'd already been hit.
"If you're smart, you'll cooperate," Guan Tong said. "Otherwise, you'll just be asking for pain."
"..."
Without a word, Xin bit down hard on his tongue.
With a sickening SQUELCH, he bit his own tongue off, his mouth instantly filling with blood.
Guan Tong, Shangyuan Zi, and Suzuki were all stunned. They hadn't expected the man to be so ruthless—to himself.
