Observing from a distance, Ren and Andrei shifted uncomfortably. Franz's guttural, heart-wrenching wails echoed in the forest like a twisted opera. They weren't strangers to people getting killed or tortured, but the way Zeke was doing it made even them flinch in every scream.
This discomfort was even worse for Andrei, who knew more about the "pain" Franz was experiencing.
Physical pain was nothing, but spiritual pain?
It was hell.
As Franz's screams continued, Ren and Andrei looked at Zeke with slight uneasiness.
Often, when people "tortured" or "humiliated" other people, they were usually doing it out of enjoyment or revenge. But Zeke… it didn't feel that way at all. His actions were precise and surgical, like he was enacting a step-by-step process.
His indifferent gaze bore deeply on Franz's wretched face, not a trace of emotion showing in them.
But despite feeling uncomfortable, none of them interfered.
