Because you entered my property without permission; there must be consequences, Moss explained. He then pointed at Ariana and spoke with a tone that mixed gentleness with firm resolve. Furthermore, you fit the criteria for my experiments, and I need you to stay here to participate.
When Ariana and Adrian heard Moss words, they were taken aback, a shiver of cold fear running through them.
So were they the bad guys here?
Adrians brow wrinkled in irritation.
Even if he had entered Moss territory without permission, was it really necessary for Moss to chain him up? Besides, he hadnt done that on purpose.
At that moment, Adrian was so overwhelmed with frustration that he fantasized about blasting this odd man away with the fiery anger simmering inside him.
Look, Im sorry, okay? Adrian said, apologizing as he explained that his intrusion was accidental. He had found himself lost in the woods following a car accident during a brawl, certainly not by choice. He mentioned his notable status, too, hoping it would sway Moss decision.
However, Moss didnt respond. He continued to gaze at his plate, seemingly unaffected by what Adrian had said.
Seeing this, Adrian introduced Ariana, highlighting her ties to the esteemed Fredrick family, hoping to spark some recognition.

This seemed to catch Moss attention.
The Fredrick family, you say? Moss looked up with a hint of interest. I met Aldus more than two decades ago. He must have passed away by now.
His words were not pleasant to hear.

.
You knew Aldus Fredrick? Ariana asked.
Moss chuckled softly and waved his hand dismissively. Barely. Our paths crossed a few times.
Ariana remained skeptical.
If their acquaintance was merely fleeting, why did Moss tone sound so unfriendly? It was clear there was more to the story.
Before Ariana could delve deeper, Moss casually took a sip of his drink and added in a friendlier tone, The Fredrick family is powerful. It would indeed be unwise for me to hurt you.
Hearing this, Adrian quickly said, Exactly, if you hurt us, especially Ariana, it will bring the Fredrick familys wrath to you!
He stressed his point, hoping to intimidate Moss into releasing them swiftly.
Really? Moss replied with a smile. But in here, who would even notice if one or two people went missing?
His voice was soft, yet his words sent shivers through Ariana and Adrian.
What do we need to do for you to let us go? Ariana, her patience waning, demanded sharply.
But Moss refused to continue this topic.
You both must be tired and hungry after all this discussion. Please, have a seat, he suggested casually, gesturing with his wine glass.
