Chapter 506


    Pearl deftly maneuvered her b*dy to dodge Henry’s attack and managed to grip his wrists. With a bit of


    strength, she pushed him backward, but he struggled to regain his bnce.


    Henry smirked, triumphant that he had avoided being subdued so easily.


    Before Pearl could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden wave of weakness washed over her. She found


    herself unable to summon her strength.


    “What kind of drug did you give me this time?” she demanded, frustration in her voice.


    Henry sneered, “Go to hell with the secret since you don’t know…” He had initially contemted


    taking liberties with Pearl, but now he found her defiance irksome, so he decided it was best to kill her


    promptly.


    Drawing a dagger from his person, Henry advanced toward Pearl slowly. Just as he was about to


    strike, there was amotion outside.


    Henry was displeased that someone was going to disrupt his ns. He threw a quick nce toward the


    door before resuming his efforts to kill Pearl.

    However, the door rattled, as if someone had kicked it, and it started to give way.


    “Looks like someone’s here for you, Pearl. Let’s guess, is it your sweetheart? Wouldn’t it be thrilling to


    die in front of him?” Henry mused with a malicious grin. “And will he still love you if your face is


    ruined?”


    Pearl red at him with disdain. “Do as you please, f*cking bastard!”


    Henry’s smile faded. “Very well. I’ll grant your wish, since you’re so eager to embrace death.” Raising


    his dagger, he aimed to strike Pearl in the shoulders.


    Just then, someone managed to force the door open. The sudden burst of light caused Henry to miss


    his target, and his dagger struck a chair instead.


    As he prepared for another attack, Richard stormed into the room. He quickly grabbed a te from the


    table and smashed it onto Henry, who screamed in pain as his eyes were injured, and he dropped his


    dagger.


    Richard helped Pearl sit in a nearby chair, though he did so without gentleness, a grudge apparent in


    his actions.


    Pearl quickly understood the source of his anger. She wondered why he was being so petty, given that


    she had merely shared a meal with someone else.


    Richard didn’t leave with Pearl. Instead, he retrieved the fallen dagger from the floor and approached


    Henry, who was writhing and wailing.


    “nning to kill Pearl, were you?” Richard asked in a chilling tone, ying with the dagger, which


    gleamed ominously in the dim light.


    Even if Henry had been fearless before, he couldn’t find the words now. Struck dumb with deep fear,


    he could only look up in terror as Richard loomed over him.


    “Don’t kill me,” Henry pleaded, his voice trembling. It had been far beyond his expectations that Richard


    would arrive at the restaurant so quickly.


    Initially, Henry had intended to threaten the most popr man in Enswood to gauge his capabilities.


    But now…


    “You’re tough, right?” Richard’s voice was icy and bloodthirsty.
