Kiara had just been thinking about the old saying, "It's not the early weight gain that gets you, it's the weight that piles on later that crushes the bed," expecting the second hostage to be someone of significant weight. Yet, the moment she entered and saw the second hostage on the screen, her brain practically boiled over!
The screen was still split into two, one side for the hostage, and the other for the neutral party's collateral.
There wasn't much to say about the hostage, but that hostage...
On the screen, a man in casual attire with sunglasses sat poised, with a hot pot in front of him, which looked to be spicy based on guess, complete with all sorts of items to dip in, and even alcohol; he was waiting for the pot to heat up to begin the feast. While waiting, he was not idle, lounging with one leg crossed over the other, casually puffing on a cigar, exhaling clouds of smoke.
At the sight, Kiara's eyes went wide—it was her husband!!!!!!
