Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1218

Chapter 1218: Told you it wouldn't work.

"I said do it!"

Hugo flinched slightly before nodding. "Fine, fine. I'll do it."

"Keep your hands in the air where I can see them while you walk away," the man warned, pressing the knife closer to Atlas's neck until a thin line of blood dripped from his skin. "Don't even think about trying anything."

"I'm not," Hugo exhaled, keeping his hands raised as he carefully turned. Each step was slow, ensuring his hands remained visible. However, with his back to the man, his eyes darted around, calculating his next move.

As Hugo moved cautiously, the man followed, keeping Atlas under his blade.

"They won't untie them," Atlas murmured, keeping pace despite the sting on his neck. "Even if you kill me, they won't."

"Stop talking!"

"I'm telling you, you're wasting your time." Despite the pain, Atlas turned his head slightly, letting the blade graze his skin. "Do you know why?"

The man didn't answer, his gaze locking onto Atlas's-eyes unshaken, void of fear.

"Because the person left with your friends is my sister," Atlas clarified. "She's probably planning my murder right now, so if she hears I'm being held hostage and that releasing your friends is the only way to save me, she'd probably help you behead me."

"What-"

"I'm not joking," Atlas added, looking away. "You'll see."

The man furrowed his brows, his grip tightening. However, assuming Atlas was just trying to distract him, he quickly shifted his gaze back to Hugo-only to realize Hugo was already a step away from the intercom.
