Two of the six men were known unconscious, while the other four were still awake. That being said, the leader was the only one with an open wound and he was also wide awake and feeling the pain intensely every second.
When they saw her take Rohan away they thought that she would also leave with him after all the twig WAS injured and someone needed to drive, right?
However, within a mere span of five minutes, the rather innocent-looking girl with her intimidating glare and suffocating presence came back looking as though she was going to wipe out every single human being from the face of the earth!
Boi were they scared. In fact, scared wasn't even close to describing how they felt! At that point they were ready to betray their employer and even die a quick death than be at her mercy.
Let's be real here.
These six men were all heavily built. Their strength was build over years and their professional training made them fit to join a professional mercenary group. They were by no means 'weak.'
And yet.
And YET this 18-year-old girl was able to beat the sh*t out of them and even make them fear her? Was that even possible?
Well, it was.
And these four men who were still conscious and eyeing the girl who had now entered the room were very much afraid of her. If one were to ask them, if they felt any shame for fearing a rather innocent girl, they would not hesitate to say that they felt no shame at all.
In front of life and death, what was shame?
If admitting that they were scared of her meant that they could live, why would they say otherwise?
Sophia entered the barn with a rather expressionless face and eyed the several men inside very casually. Walking over to the inner right corner of the barn, Sophia glanced over at the many tools that they had on display for use.
They were clearly very resourceful.
The tools ranged from very blunt objects like a bat, to longer and slightly sharper objects like the pointed steel rod. However, no matter how sharp those were they were rather non-lethal since they weren't sharp.
Judging from the information she had dug up, Sophia knew the reason for this specific arrangement. Mr. Grey didn't trust his men with sharp objects. In fact, he didn't want to leave much evidence for Luna to discover anything.
If they used sharp objects like knives and daggers, it was inevitable that there would be blood. It also meant a higher chance of their dirty play being found out. God knew they might even end up killing Rohan in a fit of momentary anger!
However, with these blunt objects, they would still receive the desired effect without leaving much trace.
If anyone was suspicious, Rohan would never reveal that he was caught by the Grey family because he really wanted to protect Luna. There was no way he would let anyone know that he was beaten up by her biological family to keep her safe because when Luna finds out she would feel guilty.
Once that happened, he wouldn't be able to protect her anymore. No matter what happens, he would rather bear with everything than let her feel guilty for something he chose to do.
Another reason for this arrangement was to keep this game going.
Luna was only cooperating in their game despite their tortures and nightmares because she didn't want her family to suffer under the Grey family's hands.
They would show a video of Rohan at his job with several men waiting for the orders to kidnap him and do some harm. Each time this happened, Luna would follow their wishes in exchange for them not to do anything to either Lillian or Rohan.
However, once Luna agrees to follow their orders, the men that were arranged to watch over Rohan go over and take him once his shift is over. Except for the car accident, they avoided using Lillian.
According to their arrangement, when Rohan gets off work, a video of Luna is shown to him as if she was about to be kidnapped hence without much resistance he goes with them in exchange for her safety. Despite this neither knew how much the other was going through in order to protect them.
At the end of the day, both were traumatized and had several nightmares but in the end, they always complied with the Grey family's arrangement so as to protect each other. This went on for months until Sophia saw the CCTV of them torturing Rohan AND Luna when she first saved him.
Sophia looked over the area and noticed something amiss. Glancing over the various tools, she had noticed something that didn't quite belong hence she walked over. One of the decoration for the shelf that was holding the various steels as though holding precious swords on display didn't look right.
By instinct she walked over and touched it. She started turning it but nothing happened. She then tried flipping it over and indeed she heard a clicking noise before the little handle turned over and revealed a little circle engraved into the pole.
When she saw the button, Sophia's gaze turned a little bit colder and she decided to look over at the several men in front of her.
Sweat covered their faces and they all looked rather anxious. More so than when she first entered the room.
'Interesting.'
Looking back at the engraved circle, Sophia touched it and pressed down. It wasn't a button but the touch features allowed the circle to act as a button. After an initial 'beep' she heard a swoosh sound.
Turning towards the sound, she noticed a few of the planks moving to the side to reveal a small red room. Despite being small, it covered at least nine feet in length and roughly two yards into the 'wall'. There were also several shelves that held many toys.
BDSM toys.
The corner of Sophia's lips turned up as her eyes shone and the air around her froze over. Giving a good long glance towards those numerous toys, Sophia turned around and headed to the side which was similar to a small clinic.
Despite the small, it had all sorts of pain medications and bandages as though it was necessary.
Well, it was necessary.
No matter what they did, especially in this 'barn' that was very far from the city, emergency nursing tools were definitely a necessity.
Sophia walked over and grabbed some painkillers when she remembered that these medicines won't work on her so she just put them back and pulled up her black shirt to attend to the slit on her waist.
The blood had clotted over and made for a gory sight. It looked very thick and unpleasant to the eyes, but for Sophia she just stared at it like she was looking a something very normal. There was no emotions in her eyes as she poured some rubbing alcohol onto the wound.
She didn't even wince when the liquid touched her open wound!
The four men watched as she casually cleaned the wound and then stitch it up without any anesthesia!
Even they felt her pain as she stitched up but she didn't even move!
Their faces were a mix of fear, admiration, and more fear.
Several minutes later when all her wounds were attended to, Sophia walked inside the red room and grabbed some ropes and a leather Flexi crop.
When she walked out, the four men felt their blood freeze over. Looking at her thin figure that was walking out, it seemed as though the Devil himself was coming over to punish them!
