The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remington sneered dismissively.

In a 1ife-or-death situation, survival instincts reign supreme.

What I did may be considered disgraceful, but I stand by my actions as not wrong.

Whatever, Hannah replied curtly.

She bent down and yanked the dagger from the wolfs neck, warm blood splattering her hand.

She coldly wiped the blade clean and fixed her gaze on Remington.

We part ways here.

Standing beside Hannah, Brysons expression toward Remington was equally unfriendly.

Ill remember this.

If we make it out, Ill settle this with you.

Remingtons eyes darkened with defiance. What right do you have to judge me? You didnt save her either! Hannah, standing firmly by Brysons side, retorted, Killing a wolf doesnt require Brysons protection.

Im far from weak and helpless.

Bryson, lets go.

Together, they took the right path at the fork, the light dimming as they moved forward.

Meanwhile, Peterson sat in a frigid room, monitoring the arenas surveillance.

His demeanor was icy, casting a chilling aura over the entire room.

The man in the tiger mask stood silently beside Peterson.

He pulled out a voice recorder given to him by Bryson and said, Master, theres something you need to know now.

Rabbit and Fox have been scheming to oust you from Twilight Dimness.

Remington and the others only got in because those two secretly assisted them.

Petersons expression remained stoic, unfazed as if the news was of little consequence.

Theyve harbored such intentions for a while.

Then why… the tiger-masked man stammered.

Peterson turned to the man in the tiger mask with a piercing gaze.

Will you and Leopard betray me? Of course not! the man in the tiger mask asserted.

Master, you know my loyalty since you saved me.

Peterson offered a thin smile, his eyes still icy as he returned to the screen.

Good.

Then prove it-eliminate Fox and Rabbit for me.

Peterson refocused his attention on the unfolding scene in the arena, a cryptic smile playing across his lips.

The camera panned back to the dimly lit passage where Hannah and Bryson moved cautiously forward.

The air was thick with palpable danger; each step felt as perilous as walking on the edge of a knife.

Brysons ears remained finely tuned to the faintest sounds, while Hannah stayed ever vigilant for any sudden movements. Their coordination was seamless, born from a long-standing trust, each accustomed to watching the others back.

Suddenly, a low, urgent voice shattered the silence.

Theres someone over there.

Instinctively, Bryson moved to shield Hannah, his eyes cold and piercing as he surveyed the dark corridor ahead.

Hannahs brow furrowed in confusion.

Besides us, theres someone else here? At that moment, a man, wild-eyed and panic-stricken, burst around the corner and collided with Hannah.

His face was a mask of terror as he glanced fearfully back into the shadows, his eyes wide with the horrors he had just escaped.

Monsters… the monsters are coming! he stammered, trembling uncontrollably.

Hannah surveyed him briefly.noveldrama

How did you get in here? The man looked petrified.

I was sent here forcefully.

We have to get out of here! The monsters are coming!
