The Traitor's Tape Chapter 2

December 15, 1986, 3:10 PM.

Chloe was stripped completely bare, shivering violently, her body covered in a horrifying mosaic of purple and blue bruises from the cold.

A masked man in black stood nearby holding a bucket of freezing water. With a loud splash, he threw the water over Chloe's shivering body.

She jerked violently, her hanging hair freezing into icicles almost instantly.

"Kill... just kill me!"

She gritted her teeth, her lips purple as she growled weakly.

But the masked man acted as if he hadn't heard her, throwing bucket after bucket of freezing water over her.

Until Chloe completely lost consciousness.

Only then did a chilling, sinister voice ring out.

"Drag her back. Don't let her freeze to death."

A group of men then untied Chloe from the wooden post and dragged her away.

The screen went black for a brief moment.

Sitting in front of the screen, Arthur's eyes were colder than the frost outside the window.

"A sympathy play?"

"Heh. This is just another one of their schemes."

"A traitor deserves every ounce of torture she gets."

Standing beside him, the aide pressed his lips together, his voice low.

"General, should I keep playing it?"

Arthur leaned back against the soft sofa, saying casually:

"Play it."

"I want to see how long she can keep this act up."
