Chapter 460 âOpen that mind of yours and think clearly, properly! Think! If Tiffany was genuinely nice to you, why didnât she ask you to study harder? Why had our parents and family given up on you? âRobert, youâre thanking the person who sold you out!â âYouâre thanking the person who sold you out!â He refused to believe that and hated Charmine for saying such words to him back then.
How he regretted every second of that. Under Tiffanyâs manipulation and influence, Robert had nothing on him. He was a useless piece of crap! How could he even protect Charmine? Charmine-as she stood in front of Robert and shielded him-could sense he was overwhelmed with emotions. Hopefully, he would know better next time.
Of course, their main issue was to escape the basement...
At that moment, the restless Uji Quin scoffed, âYouâre just some useless trash, Robert, and what can you do, Charmine, even if youâre skilled? Unless... You think youâre able to fight me and my one hundred bodyguards? If you know any better, youâd chop off your hands and keep your life. Both of you will die once we run out of patience!â âOh, really? Sounds like I should consider it then,â Charmine bent down to pick up the dagger as she spoke. She then played with the dagger and tested its sharpness.
Robertâs face morphed into horror as he anxiously called out, âCharmine, donât do it! Donât listen to him!â
âShut up! Let your sister think! One more word from you and I might kill you first!â Uji Quin scoffed. Even Charmine pushed Robert aside. âWhat do you know? Let the adults talk! Uji Quinâs right. If we behave, weâll get to keep our lives.â âHah! Got some sense in you, Charmine-argh!â Before Uji Quin could finish his sentence, Charmine flickered into a black shadow and appeared right behind him. In the blink of an eye, she swiftly aimed the dagger right before Uji Quinâs neck.
Uji Quin was caught off-guard, held captive with the dagger pointed at his throat. He was flabbergasted, too afraid to move. 1 Everyone in the basement was very shocked. How was Charmine so skilled that she managed to take Uji Quin as a hostage just like that? The leader of the bodyguards was the first to react as he rushed toward them and tried to take Robert, but he deftly moved and ran behind Charmine. Charmine pointed the dagger at Uji Quinâs throat as she unsympathetically ordered,â
Everyone, get out of the way, or my dagger will cut through!â
The leader and his guards were rooted where they stood. They dared not move, and all they could do was stare at Uji Quin blankly. Uji Quin growled furiously, âYouâll get wrecked badly if you hurt me, Charmine! Also, killing is illegal! You donât want...
Argh!â Before he could finish his sentence, Charmineâs dagger went deeper. Instantly, a red line appeared on his neck. Charmine glared at him coldly. âWell, try me!â she threatened dauntingly. As his legs quaked in fear, Uji Quin hastily blurted, âGet out of the way! Get out!â The bodyguards took a few steps back. As they did so, Charmine held onto Uji Quin as she exited the basement, and Robert followed right behind her. It was a tense atmosphere, a strained stand-off between two parties.
