Zach and Loretta sat on the couch, tied up with ropes and with tape covering their mouths. Bombs were strapped to their bodies and they looked extremely terrified.

Upon spotting Mila, their fear heightened. Tears welled in their eyes as they wriggled and protested against their restraint. Their muffled cries attempted to break through the layers of tape covering their mouths. It was as if they were desperately signaling Mila to flee.

"Grandma, Grandpa..." Mila's face paled with fear. Worried about Zach's and Loretta's safety, she yelled angrily, "Oliver, what do you want?"

Oliver lounged at the opposite end of the couch, legs crossed, and replied casually, "Isn't it obvious?"
