They shot forward, wrapping around Cael's limbs in an instant.
"What the—?!"
The chains constricted.
A flare of red light pulsed through them, reinforcing their grip as they tightened around Cael's arms, binding his movement.
His expression twisted into surprise, then mild irritation.
"You have to snap your fingers to teleport, correct?"
Cael's eyes widened.
"You—?!"
Adam didn't let him finish.
With precise movements, he reached into his system inventory, pulling out a small vial filled with shimmering blue liquid.
A sleeping potion.
A rare item he had purchased specifically for contingencies like this.
He didn't hesitate.
He forced the potion down Cael's throat before the man could struggle, tilting his head back to ensure he swallowed every drop.
Cael choked, trying to resist, but the effects were instant.
His limbs twitched as his breathing slowed.
His vision blurred as the strength in his body faded away.
"...What… the hell… did you…"
