Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Hallucinations

When Elise woke up again, she noticed that her surroundings were pitch black. She slowly sat up and realized that her hands were tied with ropes, so she couldn’t move.

“Is anyone there?!” Elise shouted hoarsely to her surroundings, yet the only answer she got was her own echo.

Roughly guessing the situation she was currently in, she struggled with all her might. Not even hesitating to jerk her wrists so violently that the ropes cut against them, she managed to break free in the end.

Already adapted to the darkness, she looked around and found that it was a shabby hut. Then, she got up and walked to the door to open it. As the frosty wind of the dark night whistled by and froze her cheeks, accompanied by the howling of some wild animals coming from afar, Elise’s heart sank. “When I find out who did this, I’ll kill them!”

Suddenly, she saw two tall men coming toward her, so she hurriedly closed the door and retreated, feigning that she was still tied up.

“It’s tough to stay on this mountain even for a few days.”

“It’s okay. When we finish this, we can take a good rest for a while. Hold on a little longer; it’s only two or three days more. It will soon pass.”

Elise listened to their conversation, which got louder as they got closer to the hut. Then, the door was opened, and as the harsh light hit Elise, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to shield.

“You’re awake.” One of the men spoke, then threw a cold bun he brought in front of Elise.

“Eat it; don’t starve to death.”

Elise did not look at the bun on the ground but raised her eyes to look at the two men and said, “Why did you kidnap me here?”

The man did not answer her words but just said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. We only did it for the money, so we don’t know anything else.”

Elise lowered her eyes and said, “If you let me go now, I can give you a large sum of money.”

The two men laughed at the same time when they heard that. “Girl, do you think we’re such untrustworthy people? You’d better stay here and shut it; don’t think that what little you have can help you.”

“How about 1 million?” Elise felt that once she said this, the two men would have an instant shift in attitude.

They exchanged a look with each other and then said, “You’re teasing us! A million? In rocks, right?”

“No, real money! As long as you release me, I will leave you alone, and I will even give you 1 million in cash.”

The man who was head of the group was already interested, but looking at Elise’s cunning look, he thought better of it. “Don’t brag. You have a million? I’m not interested. Just stay here, and when the time is up, we will naturally let you go back.”

When Elise saw that this trick did not work, she thought of nothing more. Since the other party did not look like they wanted to hurt her, she decided to be patient and did not say anything more.

About an hour later, the two people guarding her went to the door.

“Hey, do you think what that girl said about the 1 million is true?”

The other man chided, “What? How can you take a little girl’s words seriously? Stop thinking nonsense; we should wait until the completion of all this.”

“Okay, then I’ll guard this place for the first half of the night, and then you come to replace me later.”

With that, one of them went to rest. As Elise listened to one set of footsteps walking away, her spirits lifted a little. If there was only one person watching her, then her chances of escaping were much better.
