Chapter 150: Slave

Remembering that scene, he figured out what happened and looked at the side, finding no one in his tent.

He looked at the shadow that sneakily entered his tent. It was Sonia, one of the two people that introduced themselves to him.

She wore a simple shirt that wasn't too revealing, along with a mini skirt. It seemed to be her nightwear if they were in the middle of nowhere. It wasn't that revealing, but she could do it easily without even removing her clothes.

And Theo perfectly understood what she planned to do.

"What are you doing?" asked Theo coldly.

Sonia suddenly dropped to her knees and grabbed Theo's shoulder without hesitation, begging him. "Please don't kick us out. Looking at how Alea asked your opinion first, I know you are the leader of this group. I will do anything, but please don't kick us out tomorrow."

Theo was bewildered, wondering if she thought of him as a fool. It might be working if he didn't know anything, but the moment he was suspicious of her, all her attempts could easily be dismissed.

"I don't need anything and you are to leave tomorrow morning. That's the final decision." Theo shook his head calmly, not affected by anything.

"Please don't say that." Sonia brushed her purple hair and slightly squeezed her chest to show a bit of her cleavage. She then crawled to Theo's lap and whispered with a seductive tone. "I can do anything for you. No one will be here for a few hours and I can just say I entered the wrong tent."

"I don't need it and remove yourself from this tent." Theo continued to ask her to leave.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sonia smirked and said, "If I leave right now, you will be branded as a scum, you know."

"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched as he thought, 'This woman… Who the hell hired this woman for a job like this? She did things predictably… Is the person, who hired her, underestimating me or does this person have another agenda by throwing a fool at me?'

To check the situation, Theo acted as if he was scared by the threat. "You… Is this your plan all along?"

Before answering him, she hit herself on her face and stomach a few times. She put all her strength in those hits and her skin gradually changed color.

"Do you think you have the option here?"

"…" Theo fell silent, watching how she even dared to hit her own body just to make a false accusation. He continued his act and gasped, asking with a terrified expression. "You… You… What do you want?"

"I want you to be my slave during the remaining days we're here. You will also agree to everything I say and convince the group to do it." Her hand gradually reached Theo's neck as she gently squeezed it. "It seems your plan in removing us won't be happening soon."

"Who asked you to do this?" Theo clenched his fists and glared at her.

Sonia's body shook as if she remembered something before she glared back. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's not your place to question me! You're my slave right now."

"Slave? Geez, you love role-playing that much? Even though you're a slave too?" Theo sneered at her as if mocking her plan.

"What did you say?" She raised her hand and slapped Theo, but the latter caught her hand and pushed her away. "I am sick of you. Tell me what you want?"

Sonia held her anger back before smiling sweetly, sitting on Theo's lap again. "I want you to help us level up to finish the first mission. You will also help us kill a Hero Rank Monster. I know that you can do it since everyone respects your opinion."

Theo remained silent and kept glaring at her as if he didn't like to do it, but he had to.

"And…" She noticed the chain on his neck before raising the chain, finding a pocket watch. She smiled mysteriously and said, "What a cute pocket watch… I will take this too."

Before she could do anything, Theo grabbed his wrist and looked at her coldly. "You can do whatever, but don't you dare put your filthy hands on this pocket watch."

"Are you rebelling against me?" Sonia squinted her eyes and her tone became cold. "You should know that your life is in my hands, right?"

Theo gripped her wrist even tighter until it hurt her.

"You…" Sonia gritted her teeth.

Little did she know that her story already had a plot hole. If she came out with that kind of bruises and from Theo's tent, everyone would already recognize him as a scumbag. After all, no one would believe she just fell over or something. The moment she injured herself, she had cornered Theo with no escape route other than fighting back. If she wanted to blackmail him, she should have threatened him first with body bruises instead of the face because no one would see it.

That was why Theo thought of her as a fool this whole time.

Sonia pulled her hand from him and moved away, looking at him while gritting her teeth.

"I will give you one more chance. Apologize and give that pocket watch to me."

Theo remained calm and threatened her the same way, knowing it would be pointless to act any longer. "I will give you one more chance. Apologize to me and everyone else while kneeling in front of the tent and I won't pursue this matter further."

Sonia's expression was distorted. She wanted to scold him in anger but unable to do so at the moment. "You will regret this."

Theo didn't say anything and watched how she actually jumped out of the tent as if she got hit by Theo.

"A bad jump… You need to spin your body if you want to fake it." Theo shook his head in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Sihan and Ellen widened their eyes outside as they found Ellen staring at Theo's tent intensely.

"You… You bastard! We just wanted to survive in this cruel world and you forced yourself on me and beat me up like this?!" She shouted in anger while crying.
