章節 61: Ch 61: How do we get out - part 2

After about two hours of waiting, an awkward silence descended around the cage.

It was an open cage with bars to hold Layla and Liam back. The other slave candidates were in a similar situation, showing that the slave traders did not care much for the people they were capturing and throwing under the bus.

Layla remained lying low while Liam did everything he could to break the cage and set himself free.

But by the time the second hour rolled around, even he looked ready to give up and go to sleep.
