“I've opened a special bottle of 20-year-old wine today.
Let’s enjoy a drink.
Despite his attempts to change the subject, Ariana persisted, pressing him for the conditions of their release.
“I am the daughter-in-law of the Fredrick family.
State your price for our freedom,” Ariana said.
“One million? Ten million? | can go up to twenty million if necessary.
Moss’s smile widened, obviously impressed by her offer.
“You folks really are well-off.
It's not every day someone offers twenty million so casually.
Ariana and Adrian saw a flicker of hope.
However, Moss then c@@ked his head, maintaining his smile but with a cold, mocking glint in his eyes.
“Please, take a seat and dine quietly.

Otherwise, you might find yourselves part of the menu.
Truly, you're spoiling my appetite with your words.
Moss’ words seemed to present a choice between two options, but in reality, there was only one choice for
Ariana and Adrian.
They would definitely choose to live instead of becoming part of the menu.
If they wanted to die, why would they bother to unlock the door? They could have just waited for death in the
room Moss had arranged.
Ariana and Adrian exchanged a silent look and sighed.
They knew they must comply in Moss’ territory.
They pulled out the chairs, seated themselves, and began eating in silence, picking up their utensils without a
word.
As they did, the iciness in Moss’ gaze faded.
He poured them fine wine and joined them as if the earlier tension had never existed.
Before they took their seats, Moss had devoured two dishes.
Thanks to Ariana’s superb cooking, the sheep had transformed into several dishes-stewed mutton, braised
mutton, and roasted mutton chops, all so delicious that Moss couldn't help but indulge.
Yet, for Ariana and Adrian, the food might as well have been tasteless wax.
Ariana, who had cooked the dishes, felt no desire to eat now.
She just wanted to leave as soon as possible and find Holden.
Moss, however, was not inclined to let them go and even threatened them with their Lives.
Thus, the tate in silence for over ten minutes.
Having finished his meal first, Moss wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief and said to Ariana and Adrian in a
soft tone, “There are rooms on B4.
You can sleep there tonight.
Have a good rest.
As he made to leave, Ariana quickly stopped him.
She said, “Earlier, you mentioned our noise was spoiling your appetite.
Now that you're done eating, could we possibly resour discussion about the terms of us leaving?”

“If twenty million isn’t sufficient, I'm prepared to offer thirty, or even more.
Just nyour price, and we'll transfer the money to you once we're out of here.
Despite Ariana’s repeated offers, Moss lacked the patience to keep declining.
He disregarded her proposals outright and said, “I suggest you take a good rest and try to relax.
Don’t be scared.
Get ready for the experiment tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to it.
It's been a long tsince | found such a perfect candidate like you.
| have a strong feeling that I'll succeed soon!”
His voice held a mix of excitement and madness.
Confused by his words, Ariana asked, “What do you mean by that?”
His words made the matter sound like organ transplantation or something.
