Chapter 96: A life worse than death (a) (2/2)

They begged him to spare them, but he merely smiled at them. They begged the instructors to help them, but they silently continued to stare at them, expressing that they are impartial to the matters of life and death as long as it takes place in the arena.

Right at that moment, Elliot decided to sprinkle a ray of light on top of them.

”Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, who wants to be Linda's scapegoat?” Elliot playfully said with a crazy smile on his face while looking at Linda and her friends and threatening to throw the silver ball of obliteration at them.

”Please don't kill me!”

”I don't want to lose my life because of her.”

”Me neither!”

”If you want to punish someone, then please punish the person who dared to mess with you!”

”No one? That's great!” Elliot said in a cheerful voice before his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he looked towards Linda before saying, ”Looks like you will be dying a dog's death today.”
