Chapter 1291 But Robinâs nonchalance, in Eleanorâs eyes, was crystal clear idiocy.
Barely suppressing her impatience, she unbuttoned Robinâs blazer, looking for his house key.
After searching every pocket, no key was found. Eleanorâs heart sank.
âYou didnât forget your key, did you?â
âImpossible!â
Robin frowned, searching his pockets again, but to no avail.
âIt must have been some guys form Area Opaca who took my keys!â
He clenched his fists in fury. âThose jerks,âI swear if I find them, I wonât show mercy!â
Eleanor arched a brow, âThey even brought my suitcase, why would they only take your key?â
âWhat?â Robin looked at her, astounded.
Eleanor pointed her chin towards a corner, âOver there.â
Following her gaze, Robin saw a suitcase in the corner.
He was in disbelief, âThey let you bring a suitcase, but they took my key? Are they targeting me?â
Aside from the key, all his other belongings had been seized his cell phone, switchblade, poison vials, tracking devices, everything he could have used for defense was gone.
Tech gadgets were naturally confiscated, Eleanor didnât mind, but the key to the handcuffs, didnât that mean she was stuck with Robin?
Robin seemed to realize this as well, turning to look at Eleanor. She was also looking at him and their eyes met for a brief moment before they both looked away.
They sat against the wall in silence until Robin finally broke the silence, âIs there a knife in your suitcase?â
Before entering Area Opaca, she had splurged on Robinâs behalf, and now, heâd lost the key, leaving them handcuffed together.
Eleanor was naturally upset and didnât feel like entertaining him, but out of courtesy, she replied, âNo.â
Robin asked again, âAny other tools?â
Eleanor shot him an annoyed glance, âNothing, stop asking.â
Robin lowered his gaze to the handcuffs, studying them for a while before finally saying, âEleanor, I need to use the bathroom.â
At his words, Eleanor took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions and replied coldly, âHold it in.â
Knowing he had no choice but to endure, Robin fell silent, scanning the room. Besides the stark white walls, there were two hidden doors. Evan had said that Area Opaca respects its guests, so they would provide basic necessities. They wouldnât treat them like livestock.
Before the game started, they didnât have to worry about what Area Opaca might do to them. The only issue now was how to unlock these damn handcuffs.
Robin yanked at the unyielding handcuffs, even biting them. Finding no way to open them, he dragged Eleanor around the room looking for tools. The two hidden rooms were a shower room and a bathroom. Besides the blindingly white showerhead and toilet, there was nothing else, not even a window.
Robin kicked the wall in frustration, âWhen I find them, I swear Iâll mince them!â
Eleanor took deep breaths to quell her anger, âBefore you start talking about mincing, figure out how to unlock these handcuffs first.â
Robin was getting impatient, âIf I knew how to unlock them, do you think Iâd be here talking about mincing?â
Eleanor, now pregnant, was sensitive and had a short fuse. So, she snapped back, âI donât care, if you donât unlock, these, forget about using the bathroom!â
Mentioning this, Robinâs basic needs were suddenly awakened, making him anxious, âEleanor, can you just be reasonable, I didnât choose to be handcuffed to you Eleanor retorted, âIf it wasnât for your bright idea, would we be in this situation?â
Just as Robin was about to retort, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in the room-
âDear players, welcome to Area Opaca. Please place the golden leaf in the operation table for identity verification.â

Upon the voiceâs command, two card slots popped out of the wall.
Eleanor and Robin momentarily paused their bickering and walked over to the operation table.
