âIâve won. Now let us go.â
âWhy should I!?â
Black Panther looked furious. âWhy should I let you go?!â
âBecause Iâve won!â Gu Jinglian questioned coldly, âAre you going to violate the rules of the game?!â
âI am God. I make all the rules, no matter what they are. Huh. Youâre calling me a game breaker?!â Black Panther jumped to his feet, picked up the gun from the table, and moved to stand beside Chu He. She saw him coming, and her face went slack with shock. Panther grabbed her collar in a death grip and pressed the muzzle between her eyes. âPut the balaclava on!â he threatened.
Gu Jinglianâs expression darkened. He knew that Black Panther would go back on his word, but what shocked him even more was that Chu He didnât break free in time!?
She⦠she couldnât break free!? There wasnât as much time as they would like, but definitely it wasnât short.
Through the camera, Gu Jinglian saw that Chu He was already drenched in cold sweat and her expression was equally cold.
Qingjiu said angrily, âBlack Panther, youâre breaking the rules of the game! Youâre not keeping your word!â
âShut the hell up!â Black Panther said savagely, âGu Jinglian, if you donât want your woman to die, put on that balaclava. A life for a life. If you die, Iâll let her go!â
âWhy should I believe youâll let her go if I die?!â Gu Jinglian said icily, âUnless you release her now!â
âHa! Dream on. Do you think I donât know what youâre capable of!?â Black Panther pointed the gun angrily at Chu Heâs temple. âPut the balaclava on!â he threatened, almost at the top of his voice.
Gu Jinglianâs gaze fell on Chu He. Her eyes widened and she kept shaking her head.
Black Panther slapped her across the face.
âStop moving!â
Gu Jinglian snapped, âDonât you dare touch her!â
âPut the balaclava on, put it on!â
Gu Jinglian turned and looked at the balaclava on Qingjiuâs head. He suddenly walked over. Qingjiuâs expression was full of refusal.
âBoss, donât, donât⦠even if you die, Black Panther wonât let us go! Just leave now, hurry!â
Gu Jinglian closed his eyes for a moment, but finally made up his mind. He reached out and removed the balaclava from Qingjiuâs head.
Qingjiu struggled, unwilling to let him take the hood off. However, with one hand tied, he could not stop Gu Jinglian at all.
Gu Jinglian pulled the balaclava over his head and turned back to the screen, only to see Black Panther finally smiling triumphantly.
âHaha! Are you finally afraid, knowing that death is at hand!?â There was a pause, then he gave another sinister smile. âBut I will give you a chance. Now, you will kneel before me and beg me for mercy. If your attitude is sincere enough, I might consider sparing your life!â
Gu Jinglian said nothing.
However, when he stood in front of the camera, his gaze was cold and his aura overwhelming. Even with the heavy torture device over his head, his presence could not be suppressed.
Unruly. Noble. Cold. Heroic. Unequaled.
Even though Black Panther said so, Gu Jinglian had no intention of begging him for mercy. Neither was he going to get down on his knees. Even in death, he would never bow his noble head to anyone. He would not submit, even the slightest bit!
âYou!â¦â Black Panther laughed in anger. âAre you really not afraid of death at all?!â
âAnd you?â Chu He suddenly interrupted Black Panther. âAre you afraid of dying?!â she demanded coldly.
