Chapter 565

Richard raised an eyebrow and followed Tiffany’s gaze to Garry, who was choking and tearing up. With a flat tone, he said. “Let him learn his lesson”

Even knowing that pressing the button would trigger a mechanism, Garry, acting impulsively, still went ahead.

Fortunately, it was only some smoke. If it had been a deadlier trap, Garry’s reckless move could have endangered everyone.

“Richard.” Garry wheezed, his voice full of guilt. “I know I messed up.”

He had acted carelessly, relying on Richard’s presence to fix anything dangerous. Now, Garry regretted it deeply, vowing not to repeat such a mistake.

Richard shot him a cold glance but said nothing.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the room, clearing the smoke in moments. The air became breathable again, and the group relaxed, coughing and catching their breath.

Garry let out a relieved sigh. “That wind came just in time!”

Then he froze, realizing something strange. ‘We’re indoors. There are no windows or openings. So, where had the wind come from?‘ Garry thought.

Slowly, he turned to look at Richard, who remained calm and unmoved. Before Garry could question Richard, the floor beneath them began to shake.

The vibrations grew stronger, and someone asked nervously, “Is it an earthquake?”
