Chapter 525


    Pearl found herself in a dilemma. On one hand, there were real leads about her mother’s whereabouts;


    on the other, they had been preparing for this engagement party for a long time.


    She lowered her gaze and remained silent.


    “Rick, look, even Pearl is tempted. You shouldn’t stop her.” Hugo raised his brow, confident that Pearl


    would choose what worked best for her.


    “Richard, I really want to follow up on this clue,” Pearl finally spoke, her face troubled. “Can we proceed


    with our engagement after I find the answers?”


    Richard looked at her with a mix of concern and determination. “Alright, but there’s no need for any


    trouble. We’ll go back to our engagement, and I’ll have my men extract the information from him.”


    Hugo’s smile disappeared. What? While they enjoyed their engagement, he would be subjected to


    torture? What a joke!


    Hugo raised his hand, and a few burly men appeared behind him. “I wanted to take the easy way, but


    you’re leaving me with no choice.”


    Even if Richard and Pearl could fight, they were outnumbered, and Hugo believed his men could


    overpower them.


    “Get them!”


    “Take them down and grab Hugo,” Richard said calmly, showing no signs of fear. He gestured, and a


    group of men instantly appeared on their side.


    Hugo realized he was in trouble. “It seems we’re evenly matched, Rick. Are you sure about this?


    He smirked, trying to keep up his bravado.

    Pearl chuckled. “Hugo, if you intend to kidnap someone, you should have brought more people. Not


    only did you fail, but you’re also in an even worse situation now.” She then tilted her head to the side


    and said, “Show yourself.”


    Once Pearl said that, a new group of people emerged.


    Hugo was shocked. Who were these people? Even his men didn’t see them!


    “Do you think we’re still evenly matched?” Pearlzily looked at Hugo, and seeing how worried he


    looked,ughed.


    Hugo’s heart dropped because he knew he was done.


    “Richard, let them fight. Let’s get back to our engagement,” Pearl dered, determined not to let this


    dy ruin their special day. With such a disparity in numbers and the quality of her men as top fighters,


    she knew Hugo’s men would likely be severely beaten.


    Richard nodded and issued orders to his men. “Keep Hugo alive. Do whatever you want with the rest.”


    Their fate would be determined by their ability to withstand the onught.


    As Richard and Pearl walked away, Hugo grew frantic. There were too many opponents, and he was


    on the losing side. Panicking, he tried to slip away during the chaos, but within moments, one of Pearl’s


    men spotted him and grabbed him by the cor.

    “Let go of me! I’ll pay you any amount of money you want if you release me!”


    The man scoffed. “We serve people, not money. If you mention money again, I’ll ensure you leave here


    in worse shape!” Their orders were to keep him alive, but his limbs weren’t part of the deal.


    “I’ll double whatever Pearl is paying you!”


    Seeing that Hugo wasn’t changing his tune, the man pped him. “How many times do I need to tell


    you? We serve people! Are you the boss of Evil Spirits too?”


    “E… Evil Spirits?”


    Hugo had heard of the organization, but he never imagined they were connected to Pearl!
