I lost my Copy System and awakened a Plundering System

IN THE ABANDONED FACTORY

In an enclosed room, an unconscious young lady could be seen tied to a chair. Her pale face evoked sympathy.

This was Rose, who had been kidnapped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Has she been brought?" a male voice asked at the entrance to the room.

"Yes, young master. It was done neatly and cleanly; no evidence was left," a rough voice responded.

"Also, if this is exposed, we'll use the driver as a scapegoat," the voice continued.

"Nice job," the male voice said.

CREAK!!

The door to the room opened. A black-haired young man stepped in, followed by a middle-aged man and six concealed figures dressed in black.

A chair was brought for the young man, and he sat down. "Wake her up," he ordered.

One of the black-robed figures moved to Rose and woke her up. She drowsily opened her eyes, trying to make sense of the situation.

She remembered heading to the lavatory but didn't recognize where she was now. She recalled asking one of the receptionists, a woman, for directions to the lavatory. The woman had offered to show her the way, mentioning that it was in a hidden location.

As Rose entered the toilet, she suddenly felt a handkerchief pressed against her nose, and everything went dark.

Even though Cerulean's technology was advanced, poisons had also evolved to be more lethal, with some capable of exterminating a quarter of Calonia's population.

Rose opened her eyes and realized she was in a dark room. Moving her eyes to reassess her situation, she noticed the black-robed figures around her. At the front, she recognized a familiar face—Casper.

She tried to speak but found something blocking her from doing so. She attempted to move but discovered she was tied down. Piecing everything together, she understood the situation she was in.

"Remove the rope from her mouth," Casper ordered, lighting a cigarette.

Obeying his command, one of the black-robed figures removed the rope from Rose's mouth.

"It seems I misjudged you," Rose said calmly once the gag was removed.

Casper chuckled at her words. "And I didn't know you had become a slut," he replied.

"Just like your former guy—what's his name again? Ah, yes, Draco. I was aware of your little moment near the pond, but I decided to keep it to myself. Now he's dead, and you're already moving on to another guy," Casper said maliciously.

"I've been chasing you since childhood, yet you pretended not to notice my feelings. I asked you out, and you rejected me. What don't I have that you want? Is it money, good looks, a rich background? Name what you desire that I lack or can't provide!"

"Can you die for me?" Rose asked calmly.

Her words rendered Casper silent. He stared at her strangely.

Rose continued, "Did you think I didn't know you lust after my beauty and my family? If I came from a poor background, you wouldn't have wooed me—you'd have raped me instead."

She shouted these words, venting her knowledge of Casper's true intentions. She had never accepted him because she could see that he regarded her as a prize rather than having genuine love for her.

Casper laughed wildly, hearing her accusations. "It doesn't matter anymore. We've shed all pretense. I wonder if you're still pure down there. If so, then today's my lucky day."

Lust filled his heart, his eyes devouring Rose's figure.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out some drugs. "Untie her hands," he ordered. One of the black-robed figures complied, loosening Rose's restraints.

Casper then forced something into her hands. "How about we do something that benefits us both?" he said, feigning a righteous expression.

Experience more on empire

"Since you don't want this, this is an aphrodisiac. We can just do this without you being aware," he bent slightly in front of Rose as he said this.

Rose's anger surged upon hearing this. What did he take her for?

PAH!!

She didn't even realize when her hand moved, landing a hard slap on Casper's face with her right hand. The impact left Casper stunned.

Casper began to laugh maniacally, attempting to force the drug into Rose's mouth. "I didn't choose this; you made me. It seems we'll have to do this the hard way."

"Yes, it seems we'll have to do this the hard way," a malevolent voice interrupted, shocking everyone in the room. It was unfamiliar to the black-robed men and Casper, but to Rose, no matter how much the voice changed, she would always recognize it.

"Who are you?" Casper turned to face the source of the voice, only to see a silver-haired man wearing a black mask. His red eyes sent chills down Casper's spine, and his instincts screamed danger, causing him to unconsciously step back.

The black-robed men quickly moved to shield Casper, forming a defensive circle around him. They could feel the terror emanating from this silver-haired figure.

BANG! BANG!

Gunshots rang out, and two of the black-robed men fell to the ground.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Two quick sword slashes followed, and the remaining four collapsed. Their corpses littered the floor, blood pooling beneath them.

BANG!

A single shot struck the middle-aged man in the chest, killing him instantly as his lifeless body hit the ground.

Casper was paralyzed with fear. All he had heard were gunshots and the sound of swords slicing through flesh, and now corpses surrounded him. He turned to the silver-haired man in horror.

When Casper tried to run, two more gunshots rang out. He fell to the ground, his legs immobilized by bullets.

The silver-haired man took a deep breath. This was Draco, who had rushed to save Rose. Thankfully, he had arrived in time, and Rose was unharmed, save for a few bruises.

Draco turned to Casper, recognizing him as the young man who had attempted to woo Rose the day before. After Rose rejected him, Draco hadn't thought Casper would stoop this low.

"You're just a weakling, yet you dare to kidnap my woman. Don't worry; I won't kill you now. I'll make you understand the meaning of living hell," Draco said with a dark chuckle, his expression full of menace.

Draco shifted his gaze from the trash writhing in pain on the floor and began untying Rose's restraints.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Rose nodded, tears streaming down her face as she hugged Draco tightly. Casper watched the scene but was too consumed by the pain from his legs to react.

Draco calmed himself, though Rose felt a pang of guilt. If Draco had arrived just seconds later and she had been forced to swallow the aphrodisiac, she knew their lives would have been irreparably changed.

Draco was unaware of her thoughts. If he had known, he might have shaken his head in exasperation, wondering what went through women's minds at times.

Draco approached Casper, who was now attempting to crawl away in terror.

"You turned out to be nothing," Draco said coldly. Without hesitation, he cut off part of Casper's finger, eliciting a scream of agony.

Even Rose flinched at the sound of Casper's pain, shaking her head in pity.

Draco then turned to Rose. "Look away. It's going to get bloody," he instructed with a dark chuckle. Rose complied, turning her back.

Aaargh!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Aaargh!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Casper's screams echoed through the abandoned factory. Only two people were there to hear them. Rose shivered, torn between wanting to ask Draco to stop and realizing this was Casper's just punishment.

For over an hour, Casper's voice grew hoarse. By the end, all his bones and his spine had been broken. His fingers, legs, arms, ears, and teeth were shattered.

Casper lay on the floor, looking at Draco with fear and horror. In his mind, this silver-haired man was no human but a demon—a full-fledged demon.

"Please, kill me," Casper begged weakly, his mind unable to endure any more torture.

Rose turned to see the gruesome scene and was so horrified she nearly vomited.

"I'll grant your wish, but say it louder," Draco replied maliciously.

A spark of hope lit up in Casper's broken form. He raised his voice, still begging, "Please, kill me!"

"I'll grant your wish, my lowly servant," Draco said with a sinister laugh. With a swift swipe of his sword, he ended Casper's life.

Casper exhaled a final sigh of relief. At last, his torment was over.

Draco and Rose watched his lifeless body, but then something strange began to happen.

A/N: I know some might be confused. How can a rope restrain a cultivator? How can a gun kill a cultivator? Please note that these items aren't ordinary but are reinforced with Originat. For example, the gun is a weapon in its own right and has its own class, similar to a Swordsman.
