Chapter 106 - Help Us! (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

”I don't mind.” I smiled, but even though the water was put in front of me, I didn't touch it.

I noticed the Shadows in their body soared high and watched me from above. As the negative aura increased, some of my White Army men appeared out of nowhere right behind me, dispelling the negativity around me.

Seeing my relax stance without any care in this awkward situation where I was being stared by four to five people in the room, there was a hint of confusion and astonishment in their gaze.

Maybe they thought no one had ever escaped from their pressure.

I was the odd one, then.

As I watched them, I realized the only one whose Shadow was not pressuring me was the previous man's Shadow. It was still gnawing at his neck lazily.

I could roughly guess that he was the next sacrifice prepared by this family. What his relationship with this rotten family was still unknown to me and I wasn't interested in it so far.

If I needed to help someone, I didn't have to know that person's background.

A low growl snapped me back to my senses and I moved my gaze to the tiger that was walking slowly into the room.

”Stay away from the kid.” The tiger shot me a warning glare. There was no kid inside the room but I was sure it meant the man.

I arched my left eyebrow when I heard it talking. It stopped outside the perimeter and looked at me with a murderous glint.

I chuckled. ”Mr. Tiger, I don't have any reason to hurt this poor man. If you're on his side, why don't you help him?”

My words made the other five widened their eyes. Their eyes darted around, trying to see the tiger I was talking to.

The tiger snorted. ”Foolish human! No matter how hard you try to see me, you won't be able to see me.”

”So, you're here only for his sake?” Ignoring the bunch of imbeciles, I continued talking to the tiger. It seemed to me that these people knew about this tiger but didn't have the luck to actually see it.

The tiger let out a low growl as a reply for my question. ”Just don't hurt him.” It said before it turned around and walked away to watch from the side.

The tiger might look fierce, but it was not as dangerous as it looked. It even looked helpless as it didn't have any idea on how to help the man.

I shifted my gaze to the man who was standing behind the others with his head lowered but eyes wandering around.

”You, what's your name?” I nodded at him, successfully cutting off the words that seemed to come out from one of Amanda's sister's mouth.

”Ah, m-me? My name is Bumi [1].” He replied, earning him a glare from the others.

I nodded calmly. ”Nice name.”

”Miss Jane.” One of the brothers frowned in displeasure and with a hint of warning as I directly ignored them.

”Yes?” I smiled at the man who called my name. My expression might be unthinkable for him as he was stunned for a second.

The Shadows above his head flickered and sneered at me, reaching out their long arms to claw at me.

How stupid!

I slapped those claws until they shrieked in pain. I could see it affected the host as the man's face drained of color and he swayed slightly. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at me more intense than ever.

Not only him, but also the others were looking at me!

Ignoring their stares, I took out a wet tissue from my bag and cleaned my hand that I used to slap those hands.

”I don't know where you have your guts from, but I'm not like the others who will feel intimidated by you.”

The smile on my face disappeared as I shot them cold and aloof stare. It was tiring to play nice guy with these fools!
