The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

You show remarkable concern for him even in your own peril, the masked man noted.

Hannahs determination did not waver as she countered, If you intended real harm, imprisoning me wouldnt have been your choice.

Just tell me what needs to be done to secure his release.

After a thoughtful pause, he revealed, Bryson is in the arena.

His survival depends on overcoming the beast.

Hannahs response was a cold, determined laugh.

I demand to see him at once.

Apologizing with a gentle clap of his hands, the masked man replied, Regrettably, Miss Moore, we must adhere to our rules and cannot disrupt the ongoing game.

The room was suddenly filled with the sound of hastening footsteps. A man clad in black entered and hurriedly whispered to the masked man, Theres extraordinary news from the arena.

The newcomer has surpassed all expectations.

Surprised, the man under the rabbit mask exclaimed, Indeed? It appears Mr.

Mitchell is not only a business savant but also possesses remarkable arena prowess.

Upon hearing this, Hannahs heart fluttered with hope.

Where is he now? The contest has concluded.

May I see him? The masked man offered a reassuring smile.

Fear not, he remains unharmed.

However, now is not the opportune moment for a meeting.noveldrama

Discussions filtered into the room from the door.

No gadgets.

His body bears nothing but wounds.

The masked man cleared his throat to regain control over the escalating chatter outside.

Turning back to Hannah, he reassured, We are not without compassion.

Since Mr.

Mitchell has survived, we will exempt him from the arena for a few days.

Once his injuries mend and if my superior is agreeable, a meeting might be arranged.

Hannahs grip tightened on the bedsheet, her voice steady and strong. What are you actually after with such a demand? The masked man advanced, a hint of amusement coloring his tone.

Its quite straightforward.

My master aims to wield control over Caditown.

While many chase money, our master prizes unique treasures like yourself.

At that revelation, Hannahs gaze became piercing.

Is your master someone familiar to me? A sinister laugh escaped the masked man as he covered his mouth.

Even if your suspicions are correct, Miss Moore, what could you possibly do against it? Escape is futile here.

It would be wise for you to remain calm over the next few days while we ensure your well ~being.

Turning silently, the masked man departed.
