The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remember who we serve.

The master always gets his way.

Hannahs eyes narrowed as they met Petersons.

While theres still a shred of goodwill left in me, let this go.

A flicker of sadness softened Petersons gaze.

Hannah, do you realize? He looked at her as if she were a masterpiece.

I know youre with Bryson, but I dont mind.

As long as youre with me, nothing else matters.

He continued, his voice unwavering.noveldrama

You know, Hannah, I cant bear anyone hurting you. Austin disrespected you, so I killed him.

It was a warning to everyone else.

Hannahs eyes widened in shock.

You killed him?! The realization hit her-Peterson was the figure from the surveillance footage she had seen.

Seeing Hannahs expression, Petersons smile only grew colder.

Hannah, anyone who dares stand in your way.

Ill eliminate them for you.

Hes completely lost it! Hannah shook her head, her voice tinged with both disbelief and defiance.

Peterson, if I were the one standing in your way, would you take care of me too? You misunderstand, Hannah.

Peterson gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, his gaze unwavering.

In the past, those words might have stirred happiness in her.

But now, faced with this darker side of Peterson, any trace of a smile eluded her.

Meanwhile, Remington was drawing ever closer to the core of Twilight Dimness.

Boss, the guards are sparse around here.

It could be a trap! Remington smirked, casting a steely glance at the A floor sign.

Trap or not, I dont believe they have the power to stop me.

Move forward.

We have no time to waste.

With unwavering resolve, he commanded his men to press on. Back in the monitoring room, the rabbit-masked and fox-masked mens idle reprieve was abruptly disturbed by a commotion outside the door.

The rabbit-masked man jumped to his feet, pressing his ear against the door.

Sounds like something big is happening out there.

Should we go check? The fox-masked man raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair, utterly unruffled.

Whats the rush? Heading out now would just paint us as rebels, dont you think? Lets wait a bit longer.

Theres no need to hurry.

The door creaked open, and a slender beam of light sliced through the dimly lit surveillance room, illuminating the indifferent expression of the man in the fox mask.

He let out a soft chuckle.

What did I tell you? The best shows always come at the end.

Meanwhile, the tension in Hannahs room was almost tangible.
