Liam stood frozen, the dagger heavy in his hands — not because of its weight in steel, but because of what Amber had just offered. This girl, so innocent and childlike, had just suggested the most dangerous plan Liam could have imagined. She was willing to become his hostage, to throw herself into the line of fire, all to help him save the woman he loved.
"Don't joke around like that," Liam said firmly, putting the dagger away immediately. He looked at her with a mixture of disbelief and concern. "Aren't you worried that I might actually take you as a hostage?"
But Amber's eyes were pure and clear, untouched by the darkness that surrounded them in her father's fortress. There was no hesitation in her voice as she replied, "I think it's worth it even if you hold me as a hostage in exchange for your beloved woman."
Liam felt his heart clench at her words. This silly child… she had no idea how much her safety mattered. He shook his head gently. "Silly child. You should know your worth. Liam would never use such an immoral tactic, even if he was left with no options."
His eyes swept the area around them. Though Benjamin had dismissed the two guards who had been shadowing them, Liam could see they were still following from a distance. Every exit was blocked, every path watched. The guards were relentless in their monitoring, and under such strict surveillance, breaking Renee out by force would be practically impossible.
Liam's mind raced through every possible scenario, every desperate plan. And then his gaze fell upon Amber again — the only person in this entire fortress who seemed to be on his side with any semblance of status. She was his only hope.
"Amber," he said, his voice carrying the weight of his desperation. "Forget about the hostage plan. Can you take me to the..."
The sentence hung incomplete as Amber understood what he was asking without him even finishing. Her lips trembled slightly as she answered, her voice small but determined. "The dungeon is very dangerous, so my father prohibits me from going there... but if you want to see her, I can take you there."
She nibbled her lip nervously, the fear evident in her youthful face. She knew her father would be furious. She knew punishment would follow. But in that moment, nothing mattered more than helping this man who had shown her kindness. Amber made up her mind and led Liam toward the dungeon, her small steps carrying the weight of a decision that could change everything.
The journey to the dungeon was dark and foreboding. It stood in a remote corner of the fortress, surrounded by guards on all sides. This was no ordinary prison, Liam realized. Those who were locked away here were destined for one of two fates — either Benjamin would sentence them to death, or he would sell them to others like pieces of merchandise.
And right now, both Renee and Joanne were locked inside. Their fates were unimaginable.
The night had grown pitch black by the time they arrived. The two guards stationed outside the dungeon were visibly tired, their vigilance slipping as they engaged in idle conversation. Liam held his breath, pressing himself into the shadows as Amber motioned for silence. What he heard next made his blood run cold.
"Did you hear?" one guard muttered, his voice low and conspiratorial. "The Master plans to tear Joanne into pieces and sell her to someone else. They'll come and get her tonight."
The second guard let out a low whistle of pity. "Ah, how sad! She's pretty, but she'll soon be torn into pieces. What a pity!"
"Whose fault is it though?" the first guard replied with a sneer. "It's not a pity at all! If she didn't betray him, she might be his wife now. She's ungrateful. It serves her right!"
Liam's eyes widened in shock. His heart pounded violently against his chest. Had he heard correctly? *Sell Joanne's body parts?* This gentle woman who had been Benjamin's disciple? The man's cruelty knew no bounds.
"Did I hear right?" Liam turned to Amber, his voice barely a whisper but brimming with disbelief. "Your father wants to sell Joanne's body parts?! Isn't she his only female disciple? That's too cruel!"
Amber lowered her head, unable to meet Liam's eyes. She nervously grasped the hem of her clothes, her fingers twisting the fabric as if trying to wring out the truth she was forced to share. "Joanne is indeed very pitiful," she said quietly. "She did the right thing and didn't want to conspire with my dad... I tried to beg for mercy for her, but no one can change my dad's mind once he decides on something."
The weight of those words crashed down on Liam like a wave. He had been naive, so terribly naive. He had grown up in this fortress, had been taken in by Benjamin as a disciple, had trained under the man's watchful eye. Benjamin had always appeared kind, amiable, even fatherly at times. He had taught Liam martial arts and treated him with a measure of respect. Because of that, Liam had assumed the man wasn't so bad after all.
Now, the truth stood before him in all its horrifying glory. Benjamin was a monster in human clothing. A ferocious demon who had no qualms about ending lives, about selling the body parts of his own disciples. And the most cruel twist of fate was that Joanne had once been someone Benjamin admired greatly. She was the one exception — the only female disciple he had ever accepted.
Liam's stomach churned with revulsion.
At that very moment, footsteps echoed through the corridor. Two figures emerged from the darkness — people clad in white lab coats and surgical masks, carrying a toolbox that gleamed faintly under the dim torchlight. They approached the dungeon without hesitation, their footsteps purposeful and clinical.
The guards snapped to attention, blocking their path. "Show me your pass."
Without a word, the two people produced official passes and presented them to the guards. After a moment of scrutiny, the guards nodded and stepped aside, allowing them entry.
The head guard gestured them forward with impatience. "Be quick. The items have to be delivered fresh," he barked, as if discussing produce at a market rather than human body parts.
Liam watched from the shadows, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. This was real. This was actually happening. Joanne was about to be carved up like a piece of meat, all because she had dared to do the right thing and refuse to conspire with Benjamin.
His mind reeled, desperately searching for a way to intervene. But what could he do against so many guards? Against the overwhelming might of Benjamin's forces? He was just one man, but inside that dungeon was not only Joanne — but Renee, the woman he loved more than life itself. He could not let this stand.
The situation was spiraling out of control. Liam's worst fears about Benjamin were being confirmed in the most brutal way possible. And somewhere behind those cold stone walls, the woman who would do anything to save him in the past was now in mortal danger.

Oh my goodness! What a chapter, am I right? My heart is pounding just recounting all of this to you! Amber's naive bravery touched something deep in my soul — that innocent willingness to sacrifice herself for someone she barely knows speaks volumes about her character. And poor Liam, watching the mask slip off his mentor's face, realizing he has been living under the roof of a demon this whole time. Benjamin is proving to be one of the most despicable villains in this story, and his cruelty knows absolutely no bounds.
But what about Joanne? And Renee?! Both are trapped in that dungeon, and organ harvesters are walking in at this very moment! The tension is unbearable!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars — This chapter masterfully builds dread and suspense while showcasing beautiful character moments between Liam and Amber!

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Judging by the terrifying cliffhanger, I believe the next chapter will throw us directly into a desperate rescue attempt. Those doctors are heading straight for Joanne, and Liam will undoubtedly be forced into action — even if it means revealing his presence and picking a fight he can't win against overwhelming numbers. His hand may be forced, with violence becoming the only option despite his earlier refusal to use the hostage plan. Meanwhile, Renee is locked in the dungeon as well, and her reaction when she sees Liam risk everything could change the dynamics between them completely. But can he reach them in time before Joanne's fate becomes irrevocably sealed by Benjamin's monstrous orders? I have a feeling this rescue attempt will end in chaos, bloodshed, or perhaps an unexpected twist — nothing is ever simple in this story!
