Chapter 1003 Waiting For the Next Wave

Hence, he made a big move to retrieve the cell phone, only to be struck by something the moment he extended his hand.

"Ouch!" The thug suffered another fracture, and he couldn't help but yelp in pain. He was already suffering from his first fracture, and his hand hurt even more now. The thug was worried that he would lose his arm.

"What is it? Did something happen?" Suddenly, Vania's eyes fluttered open as though she had no idea what just happened.

Although her acting was very convincing, the thugs already guessed that it was her doing and were amazed by her accuracy.

"Why is everyone looking so fearful? Am I that scary?" There was no light in her eyes, only an abyss that reminded them of the Grim Reaper. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The thugs agreed in secret, thinking that she was terrifying. Nonetheless, they didn't dare speak their minds.

"We're just a little shaken since this place is rather secluded," the leader said. "It's definitely not because our hands are hurting."

They didn't even bother lying right now, and the tall guy, whose hand was swollen from the hits, was breaking out in cold sweat due to the throbbing pain.

Vania nodded, showing that she believed their words. "You're right. This place is quite scary. Those who don't know the situation might think that you're trying to escape."

The thugs silently thought, Well, we do want to escape. However, they endured the pain and smiled pleasantly. "Oh, of course not." The last thing they wanted now was to step on Vania's toes. If they did, she wouldn't let them off later.

"Okay," she replied lazily. "Why don't you huddle together and hug each other? You won't be afraid anymore, then."

Hmph, what a 'fantastic' idea! Is she kidding us? Come on, we're a bunch of well-known thugs. What does it make us if we hug each other? How are we going to make a living after this?

"What? You don't want to do that?" Seeing how they didn't move, Vania narrowed her eyes dangerously at the stone in her hand.

Upon catching a glimpse of her icy eyes and the stone in her hand, the thugs immediately surrendered. "Okay, we'll do it." None of them wanted to suffer more fractures, and the money they earned today probably wasn't enough to cover their medical expenses.

Vania waved her hand nonchalantly. "Don't force yourself if you don't want to do it, though. It's just a suggestion, and I don't want you to think that it's a threat."

What is this if not a threat?! the thugs screamed silently in their hearts. We can talk things through, so don't hurl those stones!

"Huh?" Vania snorted emotionlessly when she saw how unwilling they seemed.

Immediately, the thugs scrambled and huddled together for warmth.

"Haha…" Just a second ago, Vania appeared emotionless, but she laughed out loud suddenly.

What is she planning to do now? the thugs wondered in dismay. Is she going to torture us again?

She laughed heartily while pointing at them. "It's so funny when a few grown men like you guys hug each other like that."

We're being forced by you, aren't we? the thugs thought with disdain in their hearts. Nobody should find out what happened today, or we won't be able to make a living anymore. Just the thought that they were hugging each other disgusted them, and they unwittingly gave one another a look of disgust.

However, Vania didn't feel that her malicious behavior was inappropriate in any way and closed her eyes again, waiting for the next wave to arrive.

Outside the abandoned factory, the sound of screeching brakes cut through the silence, and it was followed by the roaring laughter of a group of thugs. "Boss, is there really such a sweet deal? Are you sure you're giving that chick to us?"

"We can do anything to her as long as we get it on video. In other words, we're getting paid to have fun at the same time! Haha, we'll send as many videos as we want."

Even with her eyes closed, Vania exuded a cold, hostile air around her.
