Evelyn stood in front of them motionless, uttering no word hoping that somehow by some miracle she is saved from the clutches of Klautz. Even Klautz's not so lustful gaze on her naked body hardly did a thing to make her react.

Klautz was intrigued by her silence in itself. It meant that she hadn't lost her composure even in this situation.

'Not to mention that she is a newbie,' Klautz thought. 'Has she froze out of shock instead? That hardly seems to be the case.'

Knowing her position she hardly tried to break free and she spoke nothing.

Klautz was not aware that unlike him who had many experiences with interrogation, the girl in front of her had many experiences being entrapped. But the reason for entrapment was hardly interrogation.

Evelyn knew that anything that she spoke other than what her enslaver wanted to know would only anger the former. Not to mention that she couldn't afford to give out information either. That leaves her with only one choice.

'Stay silenced. Look for an opportunity to escape.'

She was aware that keeping shut can also be a cue for angering Klautz but that was much better than the former.

"So you won't be telling anything, huh?

" KLautz whispered with a solemn face.

Evelyn's pupils shook in surprise but it lasted only for a split second. It was a faint reaction but Klautz had caught onto it making him all the more curious.

'He won't let me go…'

Meanwhile, Evelyn's heart was in turmoil. Her suspicions had been confirmed. Usually, in such a situation the kidnapper would get annoyed. Her not saying a word could only be considered as an eyesore making the person resort to violence.

But Klautz was calm. There was an aura of confidence around him that as if told out aloud that, 'Sooner or later you would tell me everything.' He wasn't like anyone she had faced so far and the very thought caused her to shudder in fear.

Both of them could only stay in awe at each other's behavior even though not a word was exchanged between them.

Klautz eyes traveled her across her naked body. She had a petite butt and a small chest which caused him to smirk in ridicule.

Evelyn, who was naturally keeping an eye on Klautz, noticed his gaze. She mistook Klautz's smirk of ridicule to be a smirk of lust.

"So you are interested in my body as well?

" She finally spoke as her eyes went dim for reasons unknown.

But her unusual remark didn't go well across Klautz. His brows twitched.

'Isn't this too much of a misunderstanding?'

There was a different reason why Klautz was eyeing her naked form but she didn't need to know about it.

"Has someone ever told you that you are very conceited?

" Klautz scoffed.

The essence of Klautz sarcasm wasn't lost on her. She looked down at her jade-like form only to squint her eyes.

"Narcissism aside. I am just judging the worth of my own beauty objectively. Throughout my life 4 times by my half-brothers and one time by my own step-mother, I was almost raped by them. I could only come to the conclusion that my beauty is certainly out of the ordinary. It is quite unfortunate to be born with such genes,

" Evelyn claimed.

"What? You were almost raped by your stepmother?

" Klautz felt like his ears would fall off after hearing Evelyn's claim.

"…

"

But he was met with a sharp gaze as if to remind that it wasn't something he should be asking about.

*Cough*

'People sure have weird tastes,' Klautz thought as his eyes traveled to her non-existent breasts.

Evelyn might have considered quite a beauty considering her feminine charms and her emerald eyes that complimented her beauty. But in Klautz's eyes, she had no appeal.

Evelyn's past had reminded him how trashy some people can be. Being at the ninja village he had but seen one side to the dark face of humanity. But the truth was that there were many faces he had yet to see.

Even in hell, beauty was a double-edged sword. It can either make you or break you. But at least the ninjas who had always remained hidden in the shadows never had to face such problems.

"There is one thing that I must make clear to you,

" Klautz continued.

"I personally dislike bodies like yours. I feel sexual appeal from women with more robust breasts. So thankfully, the chances of myself being captivated by you are extremely low.

"

Had she not appeared in her birthday suit in front of Klautz, Klautz would not have even be bothered to explain his preferences. But since that was not the case, he felt like he had to clear the air. Or else the misunderstandings were threatening his very identity.

Klautz nodded, admiring himself. It was as if he believed that he should be given prizes for his little speech.

'If she is thinking that she can escape by trying to seduce me. She must be dreaming!' Klautz thought.

As he was lost in his own self-proclaimed glory, Klautz hadn't realized when a shaky hand had crept from behind him as it rested on his shoulder as if trying to turn him around. And Klautz did turn around but what he was met with was the flustered face of his lover. She was as red as a tomato! With a forced smile on her face, she stared daggers at Klautz eyes.

Klautz's mouth was left agape as he realized the seriousness of the matter. Evelyn too raised her brows at the appearance of the third party.

Her lips parted and closed as she was trying hard to find words. A strange sense of annoyance was building up inside her as her eyes fell on Verona's twin peaks.

Verona sighed.

"Klautz… We need to talk.

"
