chapter five | poison

Lisa is blindfolded. She doesn't where she is being taken, but she feels cold and that's all she's been feeling. Mark had a tight grip on her arms, this time, he had decided to do the honours in dragging her around.

She can only hears heavy doors being pushed open, metals clinking, and finally, she feels the tight grip let go of her. The female was sure it'd leave a bruise.

   The blindfold has been yanked off her head, she blinks a few times and looks around. "Now, you must be aware you're hunted down across the country — by not only myself, but also others." The female hesitantly nodded. "Do you much how much you're worth at the moment?"

   She is worth something? Lisa can only be astonished. People are wanting to kill her that muchto the point they would be willing to even pay for it.

"₩210,000!" He laughs, taking hold of Lisa's face, his figure looms over hers, it absolutely terrifies her. "And your brother is just the same price."

Her heart stops. It drops to the gut of her stomach and she can't breath. What? "... Renjun...?" The name comes out, the smirk on Mark's features widen with satisfaction at how with one mention of the younger male, he had Lalisa Manoban at his mercy. "He's alive?"

"Yes, has been kept alive for the past four years." The man muses. "Quite unlucky for him... he hasn't been exactly intact, though."

Lisa has her heart come back to life and her expression loses colour, appalled at such words. "What've you done — " A slap to the cheek was enough to shut her up. She falls down, unable to stand up as her hands were tied behind her back.

Mark is glaring harshly down at the girl. "Now, I didn't say you could raise your voice." He crouches down to her, hands slithering over her cheek and forcing her to face his way. "We're not equals, nor are you at the top of the food chain anymore — I'm in control here. You listen to me."

Her lips could only tremble, how much more cruel can this man become? "We're about to receive Renjun." He explains. "It isn't easy, of course, but I have a deal with the person doing the delivery. I'm quite lucky."

Lisa can only watch as the male stands up, right after doing so, he orders her to do the same. She was being treated like a stray animal. Mercilessly mistreated and being looked down upon.

With her trembling legs like a newborn dawn, she does as told, hugging herself for some sort of protection as Mark treads around her, walking slowly, tauntingly. "What could I do to the both of you the moment I have the both of you? The last members of the Manoban reign?" He stops right behind her.

"Should I sell you to someone else? For the doubling amount of the price?" He suggests, Lisa bites into her lower lip. "Even better, should I torture you two?"

The girl trembled as his hands are now on her shoulders, and going down her arms. "... Or..." his lips are ghostly going over her ears. "Should I kill the both of you and give an end to everything?"

It doesn't go by unnoticed on how much Lisa had been shaking, like a leaf, and having Mark feel powerful.

He puts his arm around her, the girl has her eyes solely focused on the ground as he brings her closer. "No, I wouldn't do that." He whispers. "What would be the fun in already killing you in one blow? I want you to feel what I felt after losing all my family members."

"So, here is a suggestion I have." He starts, "I could give you away to the person who is giving Renjun to me." Lisa looks up at Mark, eyes pleading 'no'. "Or I could let you loose again, but of course, I'd let others know you're alive and where you'd be."
