33 It was all a show

----No one's POV----

William leads us to the basement underground, it was a dungeon. Walls filled with rocks layering each other. Stench smells of musty mold covering the sides of the ceiling as the dark and cold aura shivering down the skin runs through the air. As we were walking down the path, it was dark and only light torches lights the entire place. It was quiet, our footsteps bounce the wall as it echoes.

"Ugh...! This place... is so... dark..." Tyler who was walking along us shaking to death wandering his full of terrified eyes. Why did even this idiot bother to come here? I then suddenly felt someone pull my shirt. I look back and it was Tyler clinging down to me desperate for help. This guy...!

"Do you really want me to cut off your hands so badly?" I narrowed his eyes to him angrily.

"N-no..." He quickly let go's of my shirt as I continue walking leaving him. God... if you're scared don't come here. What a bother...

"Stephanie?" He turns to Stephanie then walks towards her begging for help. He's pretending to be scared cat as he passionately whispers to Stephanie. What the hell is that voice...? I can't believe many women fell for that.

"Why did you even come here if you know what's gonna be in here?" Stephanie says coldly ignoring his plead.

"Because it's boring there and I wanna collect some info," Tyler said as he childishly pouts. His cheeks were so plumb that it could pop out if I pierce a knife on it. Stephanie just stared at him not caring about his pitiful act.

"Come on~," Tyler said trying to stick with himself over Stephanie.

"Get the hell away from me," Stephanie said with a cold shoulder brushing off her arm.

"Hey," William who was in the front of all of us, notice him getting over her. Looks back at Tyler give him a death glare to Tyler shutting him off.

For fuck's sake, this is so annoying.

We entered a cell, two men were guarding him. A man on his knees both hands tied up with a rope his head was facing down so I couldn't see his face clearly. His clothes were torn, bloodstain was all over his body as It was beaten up. Unbelievable... he's asleep.

"You said he's awake?" Stephanie says to William as her both arm crossed.

"Wake him," I ordered coldly as my patience started to runs out.

These guys didn't even wake him up before we head here. One of the guards somehow got a bucket of water and splash it onto the man with no hesitation. The man eventually woke up then started coughing, he raises his head looking at us startled by our appearance.

"You! That mask! You're from...! Last night! You monsters!" The man looks at both me and William, not expecting to see the men who left him nightmares. He was left speechless as soon as he notices the mask I'm wearing which was the same I was wearing last night. He was terrified by mine and William's dark aura. The images from last night I could tell were flashing over his memory insanely just by looking at his reaction.

"Tell us what you know." I narrowed angrily at him as I look down as his pitiful state. The man was shivering all over his body, hesitant to speak. Considering his state, he still has guts not too revealing anything...? What a bold move...

"Speak!" William says beaten up his face with a metal pipe. The man falls on his side while coughing blood. Still won't give up huh? You'll get more than that if you still try to pull us some tricks.

"Talk your shit, we don't have time for this," Stephanie says boldly to him, she was also getting impatience as the rest of us.

"You guys...! are merciless!" The man says trying to get back his position. Huh, what a strange mind this guy has.

"Since when have we even show mercy?" I look at him coldly as I raised my eyebrow at him. He got even more scared at me as he started to back away from me.

"O-okay... I'll tell you...! Just don't... kill me..."

"It was all a show."

All of us got surprised at what the man said. A show? What?

"We were paid... We know what was coming to us! A bomb, ambush everything! They give us a big amount of money for our family as a sacrifice for us." The man started tearing up as he tells his story.

That guy even dared to go that far just for this shit? That's why they didn't prepare any strong men to fight us, no one was even guarding the whole mansion.

If it was all for a show... that means... From the start it was... Shit! The tip we got was intentional! Someone made up that tip and lead us there! It's true that they want to give us information but... that asshole wants me dead. Why would he want me dead if that's the case? If he wants revenge... there is only one person who he would get on...? I look at the man beside me finally answering my question. Its William.
