In the darkness, she could not find a single thread of light.

When Jennie woke up, all she could see was darkness. She struggled with all her might, but as she gradually used up her strength, she could only lay there limply.

She laid on a wide, long chair. Her hands were tied against the back of the chair while her legs were restrained with a rope. No matter how she struggled, she was unable to loosen the ropes. Her lips were also sealed with tape, preventing her from calling for help.

Her surroundings were completely pitch-black. When she woke up, she was completely unable to discern if her transmigration had been a dream and she was still trapped in that dark and boundless past life of hers. Perhaps, she was still locked in that barren, undeveloped village behind the mountains, waiting to be forcefully sold around by those group of villagers.

The dark was frightening, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed.

All of a sudden, loud footsteps could be heard approaching from outside. Jennie subconsciously shut her eyes.

With a creaking sound, the thick and heavy metal door was pushed open.

Two pairs of footsteps approached. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of sweat of unfamiliar men, causing one to feel disgusted. Jennie kept her eyes shut and did not move.

"Did we pour too much drug on that cloth? Why is this little girl still unconscious?"

Who cares, Miss Bae only said to bring her here. When the time is right, well send her out. Her life and death mean nothing to us!"

"She's so pretty. Isn't it a waste to send her away just like this? Shall we... play a bit first?"

"Play your ass. Miss Bae told us to leave Busan the moment we're done. I suspect that this little girl's background is not simple!'

"Isn't she just a student from Busan University? What sort of background can she have at such a young age?"

"Don't ask so much! Immediately send her to that bar! If we don't send her to that place, we won't be able to obtain even a single cent of that remaining two hundred million won we were promised! I don't even know who was it that leaked the information. There have been so many police cars patrolling this area! Be cleaner when you work! Since she is still unconscious, we'll send her away now to save us the trouble!"

At this moment, Jennie abruptly opened her eyes. The two men held a pair of flashlight each in their hands. When they saw Jennie open her eyes, they both appeared to jump in surprise. Jennie narrowed her eyes slightly in discomfort from the light and began releasing whimpering sounds.

"Big brother, is she trying to speak?"

"Uuuh..." Jennie continued making more noises.

Hearing that her voice varied in pitch, as though she was really trying to tell them something, the two men exchanged glances but ultimately chose to ignore her.

She woke up so quickly; so troublesome! Quickly take her away!"

"Uuuh!" Jennie widened her eyes, staring at them. Her hands were restrained, and her sealed lips prevented her from speaking. She could only stare at them in hope, alternating through the same three pitches.

"Big Brother, she really seems to be trying to say something..."

The other man finally gave Jennie another look. As Jennie was struggling and making noises, he abruptly ripped off the tape on her lips.

A sharp pain came from her lips. Jennie could not pay any attention to that. In such a situation, she could not shout. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble onto herself.
