*yawn*
Mike yawned as he woke from his sleep. He then looked at the surroundings and and saw that it was already late in the night.
"How long did I sleep for?" He asked Sarah who was sitting a few meters from him. She seemed to have been staring at him thinking about something, but, when she heard his question, she immediately awoke from her thoughts and answered:
"Around 6 hours"
"That long huh?" Mike stood up and started thinking, 'last time I didn't count the hours I slept for, maybe I should start taking this problem seriously'
Mike did not like this one bit. Fainting after every shoot made a big blow to his pride. He was planning to take over the world and the women in it for himself, however, if he couldn't even shoot more than once, then wouldn't the humans go extinct after a few years?
'I have to find out the problem Mike thought. There was also another problem. When he first penetrated his drill into Sarah, he saw a system message saying something about him losing something.
' Whatever, I'll check it once I get home'
He walked close to Sarah and the woman flinched a bit seemingly a little afraid of him.
Which woman wouldn't be after seeing his monstrous third arm?
Mike saw that the girl was slightly afraid of him and in a way, it made him happy. His scary, big third arm made up for his.....fainting problem..
He arrived in front of the scared woman and like a sack of potatoes, he carried her on his shoulder and jumped off the building.
"Kyaaa!" Sarah screamed from terror. Although she wished for death, she never wanted to die this way, moreover, she was not yet done destroying the people who ruined her.
She opened her eyes and saw the ground approaching fast, but, just as she thought they were going to die, she saw a pitch black sword that was like the darkness itself appearing into Mike's hands out of nowhere.
".. eh?"
She then saw Mike stabbing the sword into the building wall and just like that, they stopped falling.
"...."
She looked down and shuddered from fear when she saw that there was less than 10cm between the ground and Mike's feet.
'What a monster!' She screamed in her head but without knowing, a smile appeared on her face. A smile that she had thought to be gone along with her family.
She had finally seen Mike's power. He surpassed human limits and do what was said to be impossible. Following this guy was not a bad idea, although she had to pay a dear price, it was still worth it. It was guaranteed that she could take her revenge in the near future.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt neuseous once again as Mike started running in a direction.
....
Angela, Elizabeth and little Maya had eaten their dinner a long time ago and little Maya had already fallen asleep. The two women were once again alone sitting in dead silence while surrounded with an awkward atmosphere.
Neither of them had anything to say to the other. Elizabeth wanted to ask a few questions at first, but Angela only responded to a few of them and, as for the rest, she remained silent and only looked down. She even suggested escaping when Mike was not home, but, Angela refused which made Elizabeth confused since Angela herself was the one who wanted to in the morning.
After seeing that, Elizabeth was then sure that, Mike had a way to monitor them even in his absence and put something on or in Angela's body to prevent her from speaking about it.
As for Angela, her feelings were complicated. She wanted to help her friend escape, however, the memory of the pain she had suffered in the morning coupled with a voice yelling in her head, she hesitated. Her friend was special to her however, she still chose herself.
Make no mistake, this decision of hers was not made out of selfishness, it was the best choice there was. Going against Mike and suffering like that again was just 'too' much.
Something like this is also what led Mike into an enslaver. Even people who are loyal or best buddies can betray one another as long as certain conditions are met. For example, some bodyguards would risk their lives to protect their employers, however, if that bodyguard was to be given a choice to chose only one between his employer or his family, he would abandon his employer without a second thought.
Loyalty can be broken in so many ways, but a curse of enslavement from Mike is eternal. It binds both the body and soul to serve him in all its being.
Its just unbreakable...

The two heard the sound of the door unlocking and looked back. They then saw Mike and Sarah who looked sick.
"G-Good e-e-ve-ni-ng-ng m-mas-master" Angela tried to greet Mike like usual but remembering how terrifying he is to be capable of putting her in such pain, she felt fear. Her words did not even make sense.
Elizabeth noticed and rose from her sofa. She started walking to Mike and Mike just showed an amused smile.
He saw a system message asking him whether it should punish her or not but he simply chose 'no' and wanted to see what she wanted to do.
Once Elizabeth was in front of Mike, she raised her hand and slapped him in the face surprising everyone in the room including Angela who immediately started to panic since she knew Mike's personality.
"How heartless can you be, how can you make someone pure and innocent like Angela go through so much. WHY ARE YOU SUCH A MONSTER THAT YOU ARE!?"
Her scream was loud that even the people on the first floor probably heard it and little Maya who had been long lost in her dreams jolted awake and started looking around.
"ELIZABETH!!!" Angela rushed there and pulled Elizabeth from Mike. She knew that Mike was a vengeful person and would not let even the smallest of matters go unpunished.
"Why did you do that!?" She yelled at her friend showing a worried expression.
"Angela, this guy has done too much to a person like you. You don't deserve to be treated this way. You neither have blood in your nor do have any sin, so why should you suffer like that..!?"Elizabeth yelled as she freed herself from Angela" When what he did to you is done to someone like me, then it's understandable, but a person like you who is kind, caring and honest only deserve happiness and nothing less"
Angela opened her mouth in surprise, "Wha....."
Before she could even finish her sentence, she saw little Maya hugging her leg while shivering like a featherless bird in a fridge looking in a direction. She then turned and looked in the direction she was looking and saw Mike who was still facing a side after being slapped by Elizabeth
But, there was something different. Half of his face was dark that even his eyes could not be discerned. His face was twisted in anger and looked like that of a mighty lion who had suffered the embarrassment of being slapped by a rabbit in public.
Elizabeth and Sarah also felt quite fearful of the being that stood before them. Their bodies trembled in fear.
Finally, Mike faced Elizabeth's direction and opened his eyes which were different in color. The left eye was black like the abyss and the other one was pure white.
