CHAPTER 16

When they were forcibly loading Heleck and Keroli into the truck, Liam was hiding in a corner, watching everything.

He felt sorry that Heleck was also caught, but he didn't feel bad for Keroli at all.

As soon as the truck was shut and drove away, Liam stood there for a moment.

After the truck left, he came out from his hiding spot, took items out of Keroli's bag, and stuffed them into Heleck's bag.

Then, he slung Heleck's bag over his shoulder.

But just as he stood there with the bag, he suddenly heard a noise coming from behind.

Liam quickly turns around to look behind him, but he sees no one—just darkness.

His heart is pounding, echoing in the silence that surrounds him.

The stillness of the place only adds to his unease.

But Liam picks up the weapon lying nearby—a baseball bat—and quickly runs away from the spot.

What he didn't realize was that the noise behind him wasn't just his imagination.
