บท 406: The Plan for Self-Rescue

Eric glanced at the maid coldly, his tone steady. "I don't trust you."

The maid, caught off guard, had no choice but to eat the food herself, proving it wasn't tampered with. 

Satisfied, Eric finally set aside the game console. Ever since being brought here, everything on him had been confiscated. That meant even if his phone had a tracking device, it wouldn't help John and the others locate him. 

What Leonard didn't know, however, was that Eric's leather shoes contained a hidden micro-signal transmitter. 

Yet even if John and his team found the signal, what then? Leonard's basement was nearly impenetrable, known only to the man himself and the maid assigned to "serve" Eric. 

From what Eric could deduce, the maid hadn't even been aware of this basement until she was assigned to him. She hadn't left the basement once since then.
