The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Remington fell silent, weighing his limited options.

After a few tense seconds, he made his decision.

Agreed.

But I require concrete proof that Hannah is safe and unharmed.

Shes just outside now.

Remember your commitment, Mr.

Lyons.

Should you go back on our agreement, my men will not hesitate to apprehend you next time.

With a sly chuckle, the man in the fox mask pressed a button on a remote control.

The large screen beside him flickered and switched to a live feed showing Hannah hastily exiting through a hidden side door, her figure gradually disappearing from view.

As you can see, Miss Moore has safely left the premises, he said, his voice tinged with smugness.noveldrama

Staring at the screen, Remingtons frown deepened even as a sense of relief washed over him. However, he knew this was just the beginning of a more complicated game.

Ill remember what Ive promised.

But how can I be sure I wont just become another puppet under your control after joining the Twilight Dimness? Mr.

Lyons, you underestimated yourself, the man with the fox mask responded as he stepped closer, his voice rich with allure.

With your intelligence and resources, how could you possibly be anyones puppet? Our partnership ensures mutual benefits.

You gain not only safety but also a fortified position for the Lyons family within the dark world.

Remington shifted his gaze from the screen back to the masked man.

Tell me, what exactly are you aiming to achieve with this internal conflict? The man in the fox mask paused for a moment, considering whether to divulge more to Remington.

She has left.

If you want to apprehend me, nows your chance, Remington said.

I wont cooperate with you unless you disclose your intentions.

The masked man said, Twilight Dimness may seem like an entertainment empire, but it actually controls the citys deepest undercurrents.

The current leadership has strayed from its founding principles.

Remington, I believe you are that person.

Youre ambitious, aiming to overthrow your leader, Remington said coldly.

Its for the good of Twilight Dimness and for all our interests, the man in the fox mask replied, bowing slightly.

He looked up, his mask giving the impression of a smile.

If he fails, we can replace the leader ourselves.

Remington gave him a penetrating look, then turned and walked towards the door.

I agree, but remember your promise.

You must not harm Hannah or Bryson.

I can only ensure your escape today.

I cant guarantee your safety until you join Twilight Dimness.

The man in the fox mask laughed, his gaze sharp as he watched Remington leave.

Dont worry, Mr. Lyons.

Twilight Dimness always welcomes the strong.

I look forward to your joining.

Remington paused at the door.

Without turning, he stated firmly, Youve clearly heard my conditions.

I expect you to honor them.

As for joining you, Ill consider it, but not now.

As the door closed softly, the main control room was enveloped in silence.

Only the man in the fox mask remained, his eyes alight with calculation, as if planning a more extensive strategy.

Meanwhile, Conor had located Bryson.

Discovering the place where people were detained in the arena was straightforward.

Conor disguised himself as a guard and slipped in quietly.
