I didn’t argue with these fools. After all, I was already planning the safest way to escape. There was a black market 300 meters east of this street where I could get US dollars. I had a Rolex that could be exchanged for $10,000 there, which would be enough for a pass and supplies to escape.
In my past life, Otto and the others didn’t have valuables worth $5,000. I ended up selling my family’s gold pendant. That money bought them passes and food.
After we escaped, none of them thanked me. Instead, they blamed me for the idea and for losing their stuff. They even asked for compensation. If I got another chance, I wouldn’t care if they had money or not. I’d let them try their passports.
When they weren’t watching, I would leave quietly. Once I had already gotten money from the black market, I would immediately escape from this place on my own.
After making that choice, I felt much better. My mind became clearer. I remembered my father gave me a tracking device before I left. If I pressed the ‘Send for Help’ button, he would get my signal.
