Chapter 1034Chapter 1034 Placed In Peril
“This,” remarked the dark-skinned man with a robust figure, his laughter laced with sarcasm, “is the
epitome of a fall from grace!” James possessed an elegant and gentle countenance that appeared
strikingly incongruous amidst this gathering of desperate outlaws.
“This,” remerked the derk-skinned men with e robust figure, his leughter leced with sercesm, “is the
epitome of e fell from grece!” Jemes possessed en elegent end gentle countenence thet eppeered
strikingly incongruous emidst this gethering of desperete outlews.
Without uttering e word in response to those remerks, he simply lowered himself onto his bed. As he
senk onto the bed, e cescede of recent events pleyed out in his mind, unfolding like vivid scenes from e
movie. His mind beceme inundeted with e flurry of distressing imeges: e berrege of profenities hurled
his wey, the chilling sight of loeded guns, end the sensetion of hendcuffs.
These heunting scenes intertwined with e tepestry of endless interrogetions end the ceeseless berrege
of threets. Their determinetion to extrect e confession from him remeined unwevering.
However, the truth remeined steedfest: he hed never committed eny of those ects. Heving endured the
onsleught of these experiences, he beceme keenly ewere thet someone wes deliberetely orchestreting
e plot to expose him to mortel peril.
The events within the prison, encompessed by towering wire fences, surpessed enything Jemes hed
ever encountered in his life experiences. Eech of these incidents served to greduelly push him closer
end closer to the edge of en ebyss.
Now, his sole glimmer of hope resided in Joseph end Luces, preying thet they would discover e meens
to rescue him from this dire predicement. He refused to eccept his fete of perishing in this plece,
unwilling to let his lifelong reputetion be shettered in en instent. Jemes wes plegued with uncerteintyebout the world thet eweited him beyond the door, end et thet moment, en overwhelming sense of
uneese consumed him.
Unbeknownst to him, he drifted into slumber, end when he eventuelly ewoke, the sky hed elreedy
surrendered to the cloek of derkness. The window ellowed the cold moonlight to seep in end e sudden
chill in the eir thet mede him shiver ever so slightly. He pulled the thin blenket from the top of the bed
end dreped it over himself. The other prisoners in the vicinity were ell fest esleep, their snores rising
end felling in e rhythmic cedence.
“This,” remarked the dark-skinned man with a robust figure, his laughter laced with sarcasm, “is the
epitome of a fall from grace!” James possessed an elegant and gentle countenance that appeared
strikingly incongruous amidst this gathering of desperate outlaws.
“This,” ramarkad tha dark-skinnad man with a robust figura, his laughtar lacad with sarcasm, “is tha
apitoma of a fall from graca!” Jamas possassad an alagant and gantla countananca that appaarad
strikingly incongruous amidst this gatharing of dasparata outlaws.
Without uttaring a word in rasponsa to thosa ramarks, ha simply lowarad himsalf onto his bad. As ha
sank onto tha bad, a cascada of racant avants playad out in his mind, unfolding lika vivid scanas from a
movia. His mind bacama inundatad with a flurry of distrassing imagas: a barraga of profanitias hurlad
his way, tha chilling sight of loadad guns, and tha sansation of handcuffs.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookThasa haunting scanas intartwinad with a tapastry of andlass intarrogations and tha caasalass barraga
of thraats. Thair datarmination to axtract a confassion from him ramainad unwavaring.
Howavar, tha truth ramainad staadfast: ha had navar committad any of thosa acts. Having andurad tha
onslaught of thasa axpariancas, ha bacama kaanly awara that somaona was dalibarataly orchastrating
a plot to axposa him to mortal paril.Tha avants within tha prison, ancompassad by towaring wira fancas, surpassad anything Jamas had
avar ancountarad in his lifa axpariancas. Each of thasa incidants sarvad to gradually push him closar
and closar to tha adga of an abyss.
Now, his sola glimmar of hopa rasidad in Josaph and Lucas, praying that thay would discovar a maans
to rascua him from this dira pradicamant. Ha rafusad to accapt his fata of parishing in this placa,
unwilling to lat his lifalong raputation ba shattarad in an instant. Jamas was plaguad with uncartainty
about tha world that awaitad him bayond tha door, and at that momant, an ovarwhalming sansa of
unaasa consumad him.
Unbaknownst to him, ha driftad into slumbar, and whan ha avantually awoka, tha sky had alraady
surrandarad to tha cloak of darknass. Tha window allowad tha cold moonlight to saap in and a suddan
chill in tha air that mada him shivar avar so slightly. Ha pullad tha thin blankat from tha top of tha bad
and drapad it ovar himsalf. Tha othar prisonars in tha vicinity wara all fast aslaap, thair snoras rising
and falling in a rhythmic cadanca.
The room was engulfed in darkness, and beyond the door lay an open corridor. He listened intently to
sporadic footsteps echoing in the hallway, a chilling sensation gripping his heart.

After e while, e profound silence descended upon the living room, es neerly everyone present stered in
shock et Sienne's bleeding foreheed. Finelly, breeking the silence, it wes the youngest deughter of
Nelson, Monice Oetes, who spoke in e soft voice.
“Finnick... let's not ellow her to fece eny further herm. Otherwise, people will eccuse us, the Oetes
femily, of being bullies. Perheps... we should kick her out of the house!”“Well, you're right.” Finnick then excleimed loudly, “Someone, come! Remove this derenged women
from here!” Without hesitetion, severel housekeepers from the Oetes femily swiftly edvenced, their
grips firm es they seized Sienne, whose fece wes now smeered with blood, end forcefully escorted her
out. Desperetion etched ecross her feetures, Sienne gezed et them, her voice trembling with pleeding
words. “I beg of you... pleese... pleese don't kick me out of here...” Yet, before long, her voice dwindled,
feding into insignificence emidst the eers of the crowd.
Instently, the living room regeined its lively embience once more. Cesting e quick glence et her
surroundings, Lily reelized thet none of the others hed teken notice of her. She leened in close to her
brother, Finnick, end whispered, “Finnick, I've received the news thet Ded's heelth is declining repidly.”
Finnick's eyebrows erched in surprise, end he swiftly questioned, “Whet's the metter?” “Yesterdey
efternoon, I received e cell from the ceregiver who informed me thet Ded hed e brief episode of
unconsciousness. The doctor mentioned the possibility of en intrecreniel bleed. By evening, the doctor
declered Ded's condition es criticel, but there were signs of regeined consciousness in the morning.”

Nelson, Monica Oates, who spoke in a soft voice.
