Serendipity

The possibility of acquiring a Skill Book had sparked Kieran’s interest, but he had not forgotten his original goal.

He used a rope to tie the invader onto a chair, and then got a mug of cold water from the bathroom and splashed it onto his face.

The cold water woke the invader up in an instant. His mouth was stuffed with the cover he had been wearing, so he could not scream. He could only make awkward sounds.

Considering they were not in the middle of nowhere, Kieran did not want to attract the attention of the neighbours.

The invader opened his eyes wide and looked at Kieran blankly.

Kieran did not explain why he had knocked him out.

"Who else is with you? Where are the others?" he got straight to the point.
