“I’ve won. Now let us go.”


  “Why should I!?”


  Black Panther looked furious. “Why should I let you go?!”


  “Because I’ve won!” Gu Jinglian questioned coldly, “Are you going to violate the rules of the game?!”


  “I am God. I make all the rules, no matter what they are. Huh. You’re calling me a game breaker?!” Black Panther jumped to his feet, picked up the gun from the table, and moved to stand beside Chu He. She saw him coming, and her face went slack with shock. Panther grabbed her collar in a death grip and pressed the muzzle between her eyes. “Put the balaclava on!” he threatened.

  Gu Jinglian’s expression darkened. He knew that Black Panther would go back on his word, but what shocked him even more was that Chu He didn’t break free in time!?

  She… she couldn’t break free!? There wasn’t as much time as they would like, but definitely it wasn’t short.

  Through the camera, Gu Jinglian saw that Chu He was already drenched in cold sweat and her expression was equally cold.

  Qingjiu said angrily, “Black Panther, you’re breaking the rules of the game! You’re not keeping your word!”


  “Shut the hell up!” Black Panther said savagely, “Gu Jinglian, if you don’t want your woman to die, put on that balaclava. A life for a life. If you die, I’ll let her go!”


  “Why should I believe you’ll let her go if I die?!” Gu Jinglian said icily, “Unless you release her now!”


  “Ha! Dream on. Do you think I don’t know what you’re capable of!?” Black Panther pointed the gun angrily at Chu He’s temple. “Put the balaclava on!” he threatened, almost at the top of his voice.

  Gu Jinglian’s gaze fell on Chu He. Her eyes widened and she kept shaking her head.

  Black Panther slapped her across the face.

  “Stop moving!”


  Gu Jinglian snapped, “Don’t you dare touch her!”


  “Put the balaclava on, put it on!”


  Gu Jinglian turned and looked at the balaclava on Qingjiu’s head. He suddenly walked over. Qingjiu’s expression was full of refusal.

  “Boss, don’t, don’t… even if you die, Black Panther won’t let us go! Just leave now, hurry!”


  Gu Jinglian closed his eyes for a moment, but finally made up his mind. He reached out and removed the balaclava from Qingjiu’s head.

  Qingjiu struggled, unwilling to let him take the hood off. However, with one hand tied, he could not stop Gu Jinglian at all.

  Gu Jinglian pulled the balaclava over his head and turned back to the screen, only to see Black Panther finally smiling triumphantly.

  “Haha! Are you finally afraid, knowing that death is at hand!?” There was a pause, then he gave another sinister smile. “But I will give you a chance. Now, you will kneel before me and beg me for mercy. If your attitude is sincere enough, I might consider sparing your life!”


  Gu Jinglian said nothing.

  However, when he stood in front of the camera, his gaze was cold and his aura overwhelming. Even with the heavy torture device over his head, his presence could not be suppressed.

  Unruly. Noble. Cold. Heroic. Unequaled.

  Even though Black Panther said so, Gu Jinglian had no intention of begging him for mercy. Neither was he going to get down on his knees. Even in death, he would never bow his noble head to anyone. He would not submit, even the slightest bit!

  “You!…” Black Panther laughed in anger. “Are you really not afraid of death at all?!”


  “And you?” Chu He suddenly interrupted Black Panther. “Are you afraid of dying?!” she demanded coldly.
