“Sorry for the long wait! I’ll distribute them one by one.”
The people in the dining car, who were quietly enjoying their meal, became excited at the smell of freshly baked scones.
People obediently sat in their seats, waiting for their turn like well-behaved children.
Before they knew it, the attendant with the tray arrived right in front of Juliet.
“Ahh!”
A faint scream was heard from afar.
The door of the dining car burst open.
“Don’t move, everyone!”
And as expected, men in black uniforms appeared, brandishing their knives and threatening the people in the dining car with cliché lines.
The only difference from before was that they wore black hoods, concealing their faces.
Aah!
People screamed and hastily took their seats.
The bandits quickly scanned the people in the dining car and pushed or threatened them with twisted blades in their hands.
Crash!
Due to the gust of wind, Angie, who was holding the tray, dropped it to the floor. Amidst the chaotic noise, the metal tray overturned, spilling the scones that had been neatly arranged.
While everyone screamed and panicked, Juliet alone remained seated calmly in her place.
She was holding a small dessert platter and her gaze fell on the scone tray that had fallen on the floor.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
“H-Hey, let’s put the knife down and talk…”
“Shut up!”
The sudden intruder leaped in and grabbed a hostage to gain control over the passengers. It seemed like the most suitable target to subdue.
And with the knife pressed against the hostage’s throat, the intruder arrogantly shouted.
“If you don’t want to see this woman’s head flying, you better not move!”
Perhaps the intruder was clearly unaware of the mistake they had just made.
Unfortunately, the chosen hostage was Juliet.

“!”
“Ahh, ahh!”
The decent passengers obediently knelt down, turned their backs, and sat quietly as commanded by the hostage-takers.
Amidst the suffocating tension, the passengers tightly closed their eyes when they suddenly heard horrifying screams erupting from behind.
People believed that the poor woman who had been taken hostage had been killed for resisting.
These guys deserve a punishment!
The terrified passengers trembled in fear and silently cursed the cruelty of the hostage-takers.
And they wished for the unfortunate woman who had been taken hostage to face a less agonizing death.
But in the next moment, a masked hostage-taker hurriedly crawled into their line of sight.
“P-Please… spare me…!”
As if overwhelmed by terror after witnessing something dreadful, the hostage-taker stumbled and collapsed onto the floor.
