Chapter 181 - Captivity 1 (1/2)
The place smelled like trash, which was evident from all the random litter and takeaway boxes on the floor. The ceiling lights in the room had been broken for who knows how long. The only saving grace was the sole make-shift light bulb that dangled dangerously from the ceiling. It was clear that this place was not inhabited for a long time.
Sato sat in a rustic wooden chair that looked like it was going to break anytime. His head leaned naturally to the right, his long fringe covered his closed eyes. After an unknown amount of time, Sato finally woke up. He was welcomed with a splitting headache that hammered down on his weak body.
Only after withstanding the pain for a whole minute did Sato get his bearings together. Where am I? Sato thought without much of a clue. He looked around the garbage-filled room to only feel disgusted by his environment. There were many small insects, c.o.c.kroaches living in the empty cupnoodle cups, maggots wriggling around on the chipped wooden floors.
Even back when he had stayed in a cheap one room flat, Sato would always take care of his hygiene and the state of his house. From a glance, he was able to tell that the place was definitely uninhabited beforehand. No one with a right mind, would be able to bear living in an insect infested hell hole.
”So, you have finally awaken from your beauty sleep, young Sato.” A voice loomed from behind. A man dressed in black stood still by the door frame.
”What do you want?” Sato spoke, unafraid of what the kidnapper could do to him.
”Oh? What do I want?” The kidnapped repeated Sato's question. He walked closer to the tied up young man, leaning in before peeping over at Sato. ”What do you think I want!?!?”
When the culprit revealed his face to Sato, the person had short neon green hair and thin snake eyes. He had a bloody red bandage diagonally across his face, with a very skinny jawline. Sato recognised the man's look within seconds.
”Yroth?” Sato called out apprehensively.
”Oh? So you do recognise me?” Yroth's voice became soft, before he starting shouting out hysterically again, ”Then what the f.u.c.k do you think I want?!”
The shouting from Yroth would have normally jolted any civilian that was in the same situation as Sato. However, to the young man who had undergone special training with Gray, Sato was unfazed.
Yroth walked around the chair to finally come eye to eye with Sato. Throughout, he spoke out with anger and frustration. ”Do you have any idea how much shit I had to go through thanks to that f.u.c.k.i.n.g boyfriend of yours?!?! The amount of setbacks I had, the amount of money I lost, the amount of customers I have chasing after me?!?!”
