Challenge

Gwen was an awesome vehicle, no one could dispute that, at least in Zhao Wei's heart. Compared to the days where he had to pull the cart with his own two hands, this trip was like heaven. The ride through the dessert was especially fun as she would harden the sand right under their wheels, allowing the thing to cut through the dessert in a matter of days entering an environment of lush grassy plains like the old African savanna.

It was just their luck to meet this group on their first encounter, even though at this point they were lined up quite nervously in front of them as if they were children who had done something wrong. Well, it was pretty difficult not to act this way after Gwen's display of might, and even if she hadn't just turned a bear they were struggling to even injure into soup, her stature itself would intimidate most people.

Grendolyn had a very different appeal, her clothes were ragged from and dark from overuse and her eyes had dark circles around them. Staying in her lab for so long gave her that hospital like smell that made people nervous. The fact that she wasn't a people person in the first place and even more so when she was tired didn't help her image either.

Gwen might've looked like the God of death, but Grendolyn was definitely her master. The only other person in view was Jeff who had spent all night training his tail making him look much skinnier than before and his wrinkles became more prominent. With his hands missing he now looked like a tortured captive slave being held against his will and over worked by this evil group.

Finally the young man snapped from the pressure of his own imagination weighing on him. "Where the h@ll is Faris!"

"Jacob!..."

"Shh!"

"Mmmm... Mmmph!"

"Oww! d@#n brat!" His other teammates tried to shut him up while some covered his mouth only to receive a good bite from his teeth.

"You better bring her out you witch!" Jacob shouted.

Grendolyn who was on the receiving end of this remark obviously did not take too kindly to it. "And if I don't?" She taunted with a smile on her face, bringing her evil boss facade to a whole new level.

"Then... then.." Jacob tried to think of something, but again the pressure from Gwen came looming over his mind.

"Then... then.." Grendolyn imitated mockingly. "What! something stuck in your throat."

"I'll choose to challenge one of yours, if he beats me then I will become your captive, but if I win you have let her go." He shouted.

"Puhahahaha!" Grendolyn couldn't hold it in as she heard those words, but in the boys eyes she was completely looking down on it.

"Dare or not!" He screamed again.

"Boy you don't need to do that you see..." Gwen tried to come in and fix the situation.

"No I'm a man of my word!" He shouted while puffing out his chest. "So do you dare or not." This time his words were more quite but ever more serious.

"Sure... why not." Grendolyn grinned. "Gwen call the guys from inside."

"But they are..."

"Just do it."

Before long Gwen was nodding and uh-humming as if she was having a conversation in her mind. "Zhao Wei says that he can't come out right now."

"Tell him that if he doesn't come out I will mess his s#it up later like I did last time." All those who heard her say this was lamenting whichever slave was going to receive her punishment. While in Grendolyn's mind, she was thinking of actually just messing up his room again.

In the end Thirteen and Zhao Wei stepped out of the kitchen side carriage to look at the group. "I really have to get back to the soup, so please hurry whatever this is." Zhao Wei commented.

"Shut up! you can cook later!" Grendolyn was pissed, he never cooked instantly when she asked for a meal or some snacks after long days cooped up inside and suddenly a pretty girl comes over and he has the audacity to cook? oh h#ll no!

In the other's eyes they were seeing that this slave was even more pitiful with several thick shackles hanging around his body, he was earnestly trying to cook a meal for his mistress but even after he did so he was being treated so poorly.

The next one who came out was just a little girl and somehow their minds went to thinking that Thirteen and Jeff were related and that she was forced to serve so that he wasn't treated too badly by the demoness.

To them it wasn't a new thing for some powerful people to own slaves, but even among them, treatment like this was considered pretty extreme.
