Capítulo 94: Torture Chamber (Part-3)

As the old man's knife edged closer to Lisa's vulnerable feet, a surge of panic shot through me.

I knew I had to act fast, but revealing the truth about the switch could jeopardize everything.

"Wait!" I shouted, desperation thick in my voice.

His hand froze mid-air, a cruel smirk playing on his lips as he relished my discomfort.

"The switch," I began, stalling for time as I tried to come up with a plan. "It's not just any ordinary switch. It's... it's a bomb."

His eyes widened slightly, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face before he composed himself.

"A bomb, you say?" he scoffed, clearly skeptical.

"Yes," I continued, the lie weaving effortlessly from my lips.

"I... I bought it from a weapon store. It's rigged to detonate if anyone tries to tamper with it."

The old man's gaze darted to the switch on the table, his interest piqued.

Without hesitation, he lunged towards it, his hand closing around the device.
