Chapter 175:

Bryce knocked on the door for what felt like an eternity, but no one bothered to answer.

Meanwhile, his stomach growled in protest. He glanced back at the boiled cabbage on the table. Disgust filled his eyes, but hunger pushed him to pick up the plate and eat. One dish didn’t satisfy his hunger, leaving him even more frustrated. “Let’s just see. One day I’ll trample you two, and you’ll be begging at my feet,” Bryce seethed, his anger boiling over as he hurled the plate to the floor, shattering it. With that, he turned and headed to bed, his stomach still empty.

In the dead of night, he jolted awake, groggy and disoriented. Fumbling for his phone, he realized it was already midnight. He dragged himself out of bed, muttering, “I’m starving.” Hunger still gnawed at him. He wanted to get something to eat, so he stumbled to the kitchen. When he opened the door, he found that it was unlocked. He proceeded downstairs in a cheerful mood, not realizing that the first-floor living area was noticeably darker than normal. There was no moonlight coming in through the window.

Rummaging through the fridge, he searched for anything to eat. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Ignoring it, he continued his search. Another tap, this time on the opposite shoulder, made him turn around. “Who’s there? Quit bugging me,” Bryce snapped, but there was no one behind him. Confusion washed over him, and he mumbled, “Must be losing my mind from hunger. It’s just my imagination, right?”
