Chapter 197


    “Aren’t you feeling rather proud and superior, Pearl? Why are you pretending to be weak now? How


    disgusting!” Abby grabbed a handful of Pearl’s hair and yanked her forcefully. “Listen closely. This is


    what you deserve. A person like you should


    rot in hell!”


    The pain was so intense that Pearl almost shed tears. “Abby, you…”


    “Enough! Every time you say my name, it makes me want to kill you even more.” Abby took a sharp


    dagger from her pocket and waved it menacingly in front of Pearl. “I’ve coated this de with poison,


    and just a single cut can kill you. Do you want to


    Abby’s words were abruptly cut off as someone forcefully kicked open the door.


    Startled, Abby turned her gaze toward the intruder, confusion filling her face as she didn’t expect to see


    Hanzel standing there.


    “It’s you, Abby!”


    Hanzel, having received Pearl’s distress signal, postponed the shoot and rushed to the scene. He had


    arrived quickly but was taken aback to find that it was the obedient-looking Abby who had kidnapped


    Pearl.


    “What’s wrong? Are you very surprised to see me?” Abby was now too impatient to keep up the


    pretense. Indifferently and impatiently, she admitted, “It’s how I was supposed to be.”


    Hanzel nced around and found two menacing-looking men in the distance. They looked like they


    knew some martial arts. Furthermore, Abby was armed with a dagger. Charging recklessly could get


    Pearl hurt, so he hesitated to make a move.


    Pearl, seeing that it was Hanzel, experienced an inexplicable sense of disappointment for some


    reason. Her worry for him


    urged her to say, “Just go, Hanzel. Don’t stay here. It’s dangerous.”


    “Is there anything more dangerous than you being kidnapped, Pearl?” Hanzel looked at Pearl and


    asked seriously.


    “That’s enough. I don’t have time to listen to you discuss which is more dangerous.” Squatting down,


    Abby held the dagger close to Pearl’s face and yed with it. “I’m curious to see what’s so enchanting


    about your pretty face that it could seduce so many men. What will you do if your face is ruined?”


    The dagger neared Pearl’s face, its chilling gleam threatening.


    Suddenly, Abby raised the dagger, ready to stab Pearl.


    Hanzel acted swiftly, rushing forward and kicking Abby’s back. The unexpected impact sent Abby


    stumbling forward uncontrobly.


    Abby’s sudden fall gave Pearl a chance to stand up and shake off the rope, having secretly cut it


    earlier.


    “Our boss is hurt. Hurry! Don’t let that woman escape!”


    Louis and Wilhem panicked as they realized Pearl was about to make a run for it. They moved to


    intercept her.


    But Hanzel knew nothing about martial arts, and Pearl was still weak. They couldn’t defeat the


    gangsters at all.


    Seeing Pearl’s frailty, Hanzel took the blows for her, shielding her with his own b*dy. But the two men


    didn’t go easy on Hanzel and gave him a barrage of blows that left him reeling and on the verge of


    losing consciousness.


    Lying atop Pearl, Hanzel struggled to speak betweenbored breaths. “Be careful, Pearl… Watch out…
