Chapter 1284


    Robin brought Eleanor’s car to a halt, pushing open the door and tapping on her window, “Open up!”


    Eleanor, with a sigh of resignation, rolled down the window, her gaze meeting Robin’s. “What can I do


    for you, Mr. Spencer?”


    Robin jutted his chin towards her. “Katharine’s refusing to believe Caleb’s gone, insists on finding him.


    To put her at ease, I’m nning a trip to Area Opaca. Seems you’re headed there too, so why don’t we


    go together?”


    Eleanor stiffened, surprised by Robin’s proposition. Had he somehow found out about her ns to visit


    Area Opaca? And he wanted to apany her?


    Shaking off her initial shock, she nced at Robin, who despite his size, had been ill for some time.


    “Caleb, with all his strength, couldn’t make it out alive. What if you…”


    Robin interrupted her coldly. “And I suppose you’re in much better shape?”


    Neither of them was in prime condition, and yet Robin’s resilience was known to all. Perhaps his


    presence would even turn the tides against their enemies at Area Opaca.


    After a moment’s hesitation, Eleanor shook her head. “Ms. Spencer has already lost her fiancé. If she


    lost her beloved brother too, she’d lose her mind.”


    Robin dismissed her worries with a question. “And you think she hasn’t lost it already?”


    Katharine was in a delicate state, her emotions and mental health in turmoil. One moment, she’d


    ept Caleb’s death, the next, she’d be in denial. Unless Robin went to Area Opaca himself and


    returned with confirmation, she wouldn’t ept the truth.


    Eleanor fell silent, her mind a whirlpool of uncertainty. Robin watched her silently for a moment before


    he spoke again, “As her brother, it’s only right I do something

    for her.”


    Eleanor responded solemnly. “Caleb went to Area Opaca with my husband, and all that returned were


    remains. If youe with me, I fear you might not return at all. How would I exin that to Ms.


    Spencer?”


    Robin was nonchnt. “She won’t find out. Besides, I’ve devised a foolproof n with a hundred men


    to apany us. When we reach the right spot, they’ll take


    care of everything.”


    Eleanor frowned. “If you could think of this n, then my husband must have thought of it too. They


    must have had it in ce, but they still didn’t make it out. That means Area Opaca is no ordinary


    ce…”


    Robin was well aware of Area Opaca’s strength, but that didn’t deter him. “It’s better than doing nothing


    and walking into a death trap, right?”


    His words left Eleanor without a response, but she still didn’t agree. Robin, too indifferent to care,


    moved around the car and pulled open the passenger door. After a moment, Eleanor pressed the


    unlock button.


    Robin slid into the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt as he spoke. “I’ve endured the humiliation of


    asking Evan for information. Area Opaca is a casino. Those who go there are either rich or desperate


    gamblers. They gamble on a fifty-fifty chance choose right and you live, choose wrong and you die. It’s


    all controlled by an electronic system. Those who choose wrong, don’t stand a chance.”


    Having fastened his seatbelt, Robin turned to a stunned Eleanor under the dim light. “Remember on


    Cedric’s yacht, the fifty-fifty game we yed? You and I were the only ones who made it.”


    Eleanor responded, a hint of resignation in her tone. “We were just lucky. And the games we yed


    didn’t cost lives.”


    Area Opaca was a ce that reveled in human suffering, far removed from the petty games of wealthy


    young men.


    Robin, however, gave her a smug smile. “Who’s to say we won’t continue to be lucky?”
