A brutal slap slammed into Maya’s back, catching her off guard and sending her sprawling, disoriented. The cold floor bit into her skin, sharp and unforgiving. Elderly Mrs. Chen gasped, then lunged forward recklessly to help her, her usually gentle and benevolent eyes now blazing with an unprecedented, furious intensity. Rage consumed her.
Mr. Johns, impeccably dressed in a burgundy suit, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips, his voice laced with predatory amusement, declared: "We only have two minutes left. It's time to pay." His suit-clad accomplice, hissing like a viper flicking its tongue, echoed sinisterly: "The justice you seek? That’s merely the last whimper of the weak!"
Maya tried to quell Mrs. Chen's trembling fear, but the cruel words of the woman in the red dress—"Perhaps she'll find her real parents in hell"—like a poisoned dagger, instantly ignited the dying embers of defiance deep within her. "Ridiculous!" she retorted hoarsely, her voice trembling with fury but each word a shard of ice. "People so quickly forget they were crawling for mercy just moments ago!"
Johns barely acknowledged her, his gaze, cold as a serpent's, coiled around Mrs. Chen. He proposed a despicable bargain: "You give me a striptease," he said, brazenly scrutinizing Mrs. Chen's face, contorted with terror, "and I might let her go. No guarantees, though."
Mrs. Chen almost instinctively moved to accept, but "No!" Maya’s voice ripped through the air, a desperate, dying cry of defiance. It was too late. Johns clamped down on Mrs. Chen’s arm like an iron vice and began a chilling countdown. "Five… four… three… two… one! Time’s up, darling! Strip her too!"
The air instantly froze, and the fear of death washed over them like a tidal wave. Just then, a sharp, deafening "BANG!" shattered the room's deadly silence. Immediately, an imperious voice, thundering with undeniable authority, commanded like a deity descended from heaven: "Everyone, nobody move!"
