The most powerful wizard in the magic world

In the dark and damp basement, the walls were made of stone and covered with moss. The weak light of the torch flickered in the narrow space. Green's footsteps were particularly abrupt in the echo of the basement. He grabbed a prisoner's wrist with one hand and tightened the iron chain with the other hand, dragging him firmly.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!" Green gritted his teeth, his tone full of impatience.

"I'm coming right away!" The prisoner struggled desperately, his voice filled with fear and anger, "Why did you lock us up here? We didn't do anything wrong!"

"Shut up!" Green pushed him back and threw him heavily to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "You have no right to speak here. You just need to stay here obediently." At this time, he turned and looked at the other prisoners being escorted, his eyes sweeping over each of them like a hungry wolf, "If you don't want to suffer, just be honest!"

Several of the prisoners looked visibly uneasy and were whispering among themselves, discussing their impending doom.

"Are we really going to die here?" A young man broke the silence, his voice trembling, "What do they want?"

"I heard that many people were imprisoned here before. It's a dead end." Another prisoner sighed, his face pale. "If we are thrown in here, there will be no chance to escape."

“Don’t talk nonsense!” The young man seemed a little agitated and retorted: “We can’t give up hope. Maybe this is just a temporary detention. They will let us go when they figure it out.”

At this time, Green turned around with a mocking smile on his face, "Did you hear that? You still dare to hope to escape?" He shook his head, "How ridiculous. You don't realize your situation - this is the basement of the manor, and all the exits are under my control."

"Why are you doing this?" The young man's voice became more and more firm. "We won't cause you any trouble! Why do you want to lock us up here?"

"You are too naive to think so, dear." Green glanced at him and smiled coldly, "This is not a place to reason. In the manor, I am the only master."

A middle-aged prisoner next to him spoke first, trying to negotiate with Green, "Mr. Green, we are willing to negotiate with you. Don't treat us like this!"

"Negotiate?" Green lowered his voice and fiercely approached the prisoner, almost nose to nose. "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate now? No, I won't give you any chance."

Under the oppression, all voices were quietly suppressed, and everyone looked at each other silently, with the despair in their hearts becoming more and more obvious. The prisoners all had their own stories and reasons to blame the darkness and cruelty of the manor, but at this moment, they could only endure silently in this dark corner.

Greene looked at the prisoners with satisfaction, as if he had gained a kind of pleasure from their fear. He walked slowly past each person who was lost in thought or looked desperate, and said contemptuously: "You are all useless. You can't even save your own lives."

"What do you want?" the young man couldn't hold back again and asked through gritted teeth.

Green smiled slightly, as if the question was a surprise to him. He turned around, facing away from them, and slowly turned the key chain in his hand, making a crisp sound. This action revealed a kind of authority, "What I want is simple - complete control."

"Control? Do you think these can make you truly powerful?" The prisoner's voice became clearer and even provocative.

"Do you dare to say it again?" Green's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was thinking.

"I say, you are just deceiving yourself. Here, the truly powerful ones are not you, but us." The young man challenged Green's authority without flinching.

"Ha, what a joke." Green turned around, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. "Do you really think you can threaten me? At this moment, you are destined to become my prey. Human stupidity will only make them more incompetent."

Locked in Green's stern gaze, the young man retreated slightly, secretly panicking in his heart. However, he realized that this was his last chance, and instead of waiting for death here, he might as well try to find a glimmer of hope.

"I just ask you one thing, are you really ready to bear the consequences?" The young man clenched his teeth, a spark ignited in his eyes.

Green raised his eyebrows. "Do you think death or pain makes any difference to me?" He sneered. "On the contrary, your fear makes me feel more accomplished."

The prisoners around him were in a state of confusion, unable to predict their fate. At the same time, they exchanged glances secretly, as the young man's resistance seemed to have aroused their inner fighting spirit.

A tall prisoner slowly stood up, his eyes firm, like a torch in the darkness, "We are not afraid of you! Even if we are here, we will not be defeated by your threats!"

"You are courting your own destruction." There was disdain in Green's tone, but a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"We are not afraid of death!" the tall prisoner said in a strong voice, "For freedom, we would rather go all the way!"

Green's expression changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect the prisoners to be so united. He shook his wrist, still smiling, "It looks like an interesting game is about to begin."

"Game?" The young man's voice was full of confusion.

"Yes, Yugi." Green's voice was low and seductive. "You are not simple prisoners here. You will become my chess pieces. I want to see who can survive in this darkness."

"What do you want to do?" Everyone felt uneasy and exchanged glances.

"It's simple." Green narrowed his eyes, as if he saw a plan for the future. "Each of you must bear the consequences of your own choices. Every choice is a test of life and death."

But at this moment, they understand that no matter what the next step is, they have no way back. Facing the threat of Green, only courage and unity can lead them out of this darkness.
