I curled my lips up in disdain. “It certainly seems that she is your mother. What about your father? Where is he? He must have also come here, right?”
“I don’t have a father.” The little boy’s face dropped. He looked down and gripped the she-wolf s hand tightly.
I didn’t believe him. Judging from the way he talked and conducted himself, I was sure that he was raised in a loving and caring environment. He didn’t appear to be a fatherless child. I had met numerous children. Those that came from single parent families often had flaws in their personalities.
“A lying child will get his tongue ripped out.” I gave a grim laugh and gestured to Sally to bring the pliers.
It had been a long time since we had seen such an interesting child in the circus. If we trained him well, he would definitely become a new star.
Sally crawled to get the pliers, and I approached the little boy with slow measured steps while holding them. “I don’t want to hear any lies. If your answer satisfies me, I’ll spare you.”
The kid tightly covered his mouth with his hand, his beautiful eyes shining with horror. After all, he was only a little child. He would behave properly after being scared.
“Where is your father?”
“I don’t have a father. Mommy brought me up by herself. She told me that my father was a great hero who died on the battlefield,” the little boy mumbled.
He didn’t look like he was lying. I narrowed my eyes and pondered over his words carefully. “Do you promise that you haven’t lied? If I find out that you have, I will kill your mommy. I will chop off her hands and feet and feed them to the dogs, and put the rest of her body in a vase for people to watch.”
The little boy frantically shook his head in dismay. “I haven’t lied. Don’t hurt my mommy!”
I scoffed and threw the iron pliers I was holding to one side. Turning around, I instructed Sally to get the surveillance video of this place.
“Okay, I’ll go get it right now.” Sally immediately hurried to the monitoring room.
I carefully scrutinized the unconscious she -wolf on the floor. How could such a petite and weak woman break-in alone? Well, I didn’t buy it.
Soon, Sally brought the surveillance footage and we easily discovered the she -wolf’s movements. A tall male wolf had accompanied her. Although a mask covered his face, he had a distinguished bearing.
“It seems that we have two intruders today.” I watched the footage and grinned. Things were getting increasingly interesting. It seemed that I would be able to capture the big fish without effort.
Sally heard me and was so terrified that she begged for mercy on her knees. “Boss, I’m sorry. This was our fault. We will immediately shut down the entire amusement park and look for the werewolf.”
“It’s too late. I’m afraid he has already gone to our other lair,” I said with a scoff. Sally looked incredulous. “No way, we have always ensured that our communications remain discreet. How could he find out? Is it…”
She didn’t have the nerve to continue, and her expression changed drastically. “Boss, we know we were wrong. Please spare us! The werewolf definitely wouldn’t have gone to our other hideaway. If he had, we would find him soon and kill him.”
I was actually in a good mood, so I didn’t do anything to her. I nonchalantly said, “Whether he went to our hideout or not… You will only find out when you get there.” Sally’s face was a mask of surprise. In a frightened voice, she asked, “Boss, so you’re not going to punish me?”
“Don’t repeat this mistake, or I’ll feed you to the dogs.” I shot her a forbidding glance and didn’t say anything else. Instead, I began to formulate a new plan. “Okay, okay, I won’t do it again! I’ll immediately go to the other location and see if we can capture him!” Sally scrambled to the door like her feet were on fire.
My voice dripped with contempt as I shouted at her, “Wait! Put your mask on. Don’t let anyone catch the sight of your face.”
The worst thing that could happen in our line of work was to be recognized. Sally had a large tattoo on her face, which made her easily conspicuous. The clowns weren’t allowed to take their masks off without my permission. Sally had worked for me for many years, but she hadn’t even developed this minor habit. It looked like I would have to discipline her at the earliest opportunity, or next time, more than two people might invade the amusement park. They might even directly reach my hideaway.
Sally put on her clown mask with shaking hands and made to leave.
I stopped her again. “Take this little brat with you. I don’t want to see his face.”
The kid, who was crouching next to the she-wolf, began panicking when he heard my order. He clutched the she-wolf s arm tightly, refusing to let go. “I want to stay with my mommy. You can’t take me away!”
“I make the decisions around here.” My lips were curled up in disdain as I urged Sally to move quickly. I wasn’t interested in hearing the cries of children. That would only trigger my insomnia.
“No! I don’t want to leave Mommy!” The little brat’s clear eyes welled up with tears, and he was about to start weeping. “Sally, hurry up,” I icily commanded Sally, who was standing in the same position stupidly.
A hint of reluctance flashed on her face before she stammered, “I’ve got it.”
The next second, she knocked the little brat out. The crying ceased abruptly. Peace returned to my world again.
“Boss, I’ll take him away now,” Sally said. “Go ahead, and don’t mess up again.” I waved my hand lightly and allowed her to leave with the kid.
Only the unconscious she-wolf and I remained in this small room now.
I flipped the she-wolf over and removed her mask. Contrary to my expectations, she had a gorgeous face with delicate features that were even more exquisite than fairies.
Her hair was glossy and soft as well. Despite having encountered so many beautiful women, this was the first time I was meeting a woman with such exceptional bone structure. Every bone joint of hers was perfect, with not one trace of imperfection visible.
I couldn’t stop myself from stroking my fingers over her lovely face, wondering what she would look like when her eyes opened.
Cutting her limbs off was a waste. It would be more beneficial to kill her and make her a specimen.
But before that, I had to sleep with her.
After all, she was his woman. This plan was perfect!
Rufus’ POV
We drove out of the city and headed to a secluded countryside. Eventually, the car stopped in front of a two-story villa with a massive courtyard.
“Let’s go. Time to work. ” The clown in the red mask gestured for everyone to get out of the car. As we filed out one by one, he handed each of us a cigarette. The others were eager to accept the small token. I presumed that it must be a ritual or something, so I also took the cigarette offered to me. Instead of smoking it, however, I simply toyed with it between my fingers.
“Hey, why aren’t you smoking?” The one in the blue mask elbowed me as he eyed my cigarette. “This is the good stuff, you know! Jack is so stingy and only gives them out when we have work to do. You’d better make the most of it.”
I lowered the register of my voice, just as I had done earlier. “I haven’t been feeling well these days and was told not to smoke. Whenever I do, I get violent coughing.”
“Well, what’s going to happen to that pretty little cigarette you’ve got there, then?” The man was practically licking his lips at this point.
“You can have it. ” I tossed the cigarette over to him and prayed that he would go away.
“Thank you. How very nice of you. ” The blue-masked clown was giddy as he tucked it inside his pocket. I turned and walked to a quiet corner, taking stock of our surroundings. The villa seemed to be the only building in the area, and by the looks of it, it had been built with a specific purpose.
I was willing to bet my fortune that this was the base these criminals used for their human trafficking operations.
“Come on, let’s get to work. You guys, come with me to bury the. . . The rest, go inside and make sure the goods are okay. We can’t have any more escapees. ” The one called Jack gestured at a handful of men to follow him. I wasn’t included, so I shuffled into the courtyard with the other clowns.
The courtyard was even larger than I’d initially thought. Not a single patch of grass was in sight-it was all gray stone slabs as far as the eye could see. High walls surrounded the place, and upon closer inspection, I realized that they were lined with electric wires, no doubt to keep anyone from running away.
