(Wrine's PoV)
Where exactly am I?
When I look around, it is clear that I am not in my apartment anymore.
"An abandoned factory? Yeah, it is."
My hands are tied behind my back, and I am sitting in a wooden chair.
I am not scared, but I am perplexed— Ack!
Before I continue my thoughts, the pain in my body worsens.
Ugh!
It hurts.
Right now, I'm starting to doubt the reward I received from Hanzo.
I shook my head.
Don't be negative, Wrine.
Just think positive and focus on what's the deal problem right now.
I'm in an abandoned factory so did I get kidnapped?
It is a simple question with an obvious answer, but since I cannot do anything, I might as well entertain myself.
My heart begins to race at this point, and I realize that I am feeling both anxious and excited because I have no idea what will come next.
Even though I do not care about myself, I detest pain, so if I am going to die, I hope it will not hurt.
Hanzo's reward has already caused me pain, and I do not want to make it worse.
"Oh, you are awake."
From behind me, I heard a woman's voice.
She revealed herself.
A blond woman stands right in front of me.
You could say she is beautiful, but her face has four small scars on both sides of her cheeks that give her the appearance of having a whisker.
"I am sorry, young man, but I am just doing my job."
"So, who is the person behind this?"
I asked the woman, but she did not respond, but I could see the surprise on her face.
"Wow, you are very composed. Most people are begging for their lives right now."
"You could say that everything is still not registering in my head. Also, please make it as painless as possible."
I joke around a little, but half of it is serious.
"Do you think I am just going to kill you?" I am sorry to tell you, but I need to torture you. If you refuse to accept my client's offer, my only option is to kill you. However, since you are such a smart guy, why not accept the offer?"
"And that is?"
"Break up with Ashley"
"I understand now."
The father of Ashley sent this woman.
"Okay, I am going to break up with her."
Of course, it is a lie.
I lie like I breathe.
"You are very smart. Unfortunately, your words are insufficient. I placed a spell inside your body while you were still sleeping earlier. If you do not break up with Ashley within three days, you are going to blow up. Understand?"
"Yeah, so could you please remove the thing that is restricting my hands?"
"Wait 10 minutes, and the restrictions will be lifted. Anyway, I am going to leave now."
I was about to complain, but I decided to hold my breath as she disappeared from my vision.

As expected, she is here.
Hilda Garnett.
Her target must be him.
