The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Pointing to the big screen with the remote in his hand, he taunted and said, Maybe you should take a look at this first.

The screen displayed a map of the arena, highlighting several red dotsthese were the beast cages that remained open.

The crowd watching became electric, taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Peterson! What are you playing at? Remington demanded, furious and caught off guard by Petersons manipulation.

What am I doing? Peterson strolled forward casually, the remote in his hand like a scepter of fate.

Im merely enhancing the stakes of the game.

Without real pressure, theres no excitement.

Hannahs gaze cut through the tension as she faced Peterson. Are you done amusing yourself? Amusement? Peterson chuckled softly.

This is more than entertainment.

This is about power, control, and dictating the future of Twilight Dimness.

He turned to Hannah with a proposal.

Im offering you another chance, Hannah.

He extended his hand.

Come with me now, and Ill ensure your safety out of this place.

In your dreams! Ill never join you! Hannahs response was frosty and resolute.

Is that so? What a shame.noveldrama

The big screen showed the red dots starting to shiftindicating the cages were now opening, releasing the ferocious beasts contained within.

Remember, choices often carry more weight than effort, Peterson said with a smirk, seemingly enjoying his control over the situation.

Hannahs expression darkened considerably, and both Bryson and Remington wore serious looks, aware of the grave challenges ahead.

Consider this, if harm comes to us, do you really think the Compton and Pierce families will just stand by? If I were concerned about repercussions, would I have ensnared you here? Petersons smile waned, his tone icy.

Remington then cut in, Hannah has a point.

Your actions might win you temporary control but at the cost of turning powerful groups against you.

Even if you manage to hold Twilight Dimness, who will truly be Loyal to you? Enough! Peterson snapped at Remington, his face contorting with anger. Your Lyons family are the true parasites! It was the downfall of the Moreno family that elevated your family.

Dont pretend youre above it all! His gaze sharpened.

Im merely taking back what rightfully belongs to me.

How is that wrong? Hannahs brow creased as she noticed the resemblance between Peterson and Bryson.

Are you related to the Moreno family? With a mocking laugh, Peterson looked at Bryson.

My mother was a Moreno.

Bryson here, my cousin, was lucky enough to escape to Cadilind after our familys downfall, missing all the turmoil.

And yet, he lives comfortably! The Moreno family was ruined, and he never sought vengeance but instead chose to side with Remington.

Hes the most deserving of death!
