Sally's POV:
Lee was wearing his black skull mask as per usual, and moved with his characteristic stealth. He knocked the she-wolf out easily, and then he snapped my binds off with a single flick of his fingers and a tiny, edged stone.
As soon as I regained my freedom, I groveled at his feet and begged for forgiveness. "I'm sorry, Boss! It was due to my negligence that this she-wolf was able to infiltrate our base."
Lee was a heartless person who never stood for his subordinates harboring any selfish interests.
The last person to have done so had been fed to the tigers.
I couldn't even bring myself to think of the possible punishments that awaited me. My body shook with fear.
My pleas for mercy were met with no response. Lee simply cast me a cold glance before walking past me. He picked the boy up and narrowed his eyes. "So, it's you again, you little brat! How come you're not wearing your filthy bandages anymore?"
The boy flailed his short legs and tried to kick Lee. "Let me go, you monster!"
I felt myself break out in a cold sweat, knowing that the rascal would likely not survive the day. Anyone who had ever disrespected Lee had met their untimely ends.
To my surprise, however, the boss burst out laughing, as though he had just found himself a new toy. "Your foolish courage is amusing. But you look like someone I know. That familiar face disgusts me."
I lowered my head, afraid of what would come next.
Lee must have found out about it, or he wouldn't have said something like that.
"Sally," he called out all of a sudden.
I shuddered. "Yes, Boss. What would you have me do?"
