A loud bang was heard as the door to the basement slammed open.

Concurrently, the person who slammed into the door fell to the ground.

Winnie and Yulissa turned in the direction of the door in unison and saw that the person was Christopher.

Due to insufficient stamina, he wasn’t able to stand back up even after lying on the ground for a while.

His entire body was covered in blood, and his face had turned terribly pale. Despite that, he still tried so hard to stand up. It made Winnie’s heart ache when she saw that.

Staring at him, she spoke in a deep voice. “Stop moving. You can’t afford to bleed anymore. Stop it!”

As both of them gazed at each other, Christopher pursed his lips silently.

He simply stared straight at Winnie, who was dangling in front of him.

He then gritted his teeth and stood back up.

The instant he started moving again, his wound bled once more.

Unable to watch him suffer any longer, Winnie exclaimed, “Stop moving! Didn’t you hear me the first time?”

He was still staring at her wordlessly.

With great difficulty, he moved his feet. Even though it was only a few short steps, it still took him a few seconds to complete them.

Instead of walking to Winnie, he arrived in front of Yulissa.

Christopher had a wolfishness quality to him. While years of institutional training had polished him, turning him into a masculine and just person, deep down inside, a part of him was still feral.

It was his training and sense of justice that helped suppress the wildness inside him. However, at that moment, he didn’t want to restrain that part of him anymore.

Christopher’s eyes were fixed on Yulissa. It was as though he could swallow her whole with his look alone.

Yulissa had always been somewhat fearful of him. At that moment, she was shocked by his intimidating look, so much so that she subconsciously took half a step backward.

“Let her go!” No longer was he concealing his utter ruthlessness as he stared at her with his sharpest look.

Reflexively, Yulissa wanted to back away further, but he grabbed her neck in a single motion.

Christopher glared at Yulissa with gritted teeth. Because he was exerting his strength, the veins on his arm and forehead were protruding. “Where’s the key? Give it to me!”

Yulissa’s face was turning red due to suffocation. “W-What are you saying? What key?”

“Stop playing dumb!” His grip tightened. “The key to open the shackles. I’m telling you to let Winnie go!”

“Let me go first!” She felt her neck was on the verge of being crushed by him. “How can I give you the key if you don’t let me go?”

“Give me the key!” Christopher growled. He wasn’t going to fall for Yulissa’s trick and let go because that was the last bit of strength he could conjure.

Should he let her go right away, he would promptly fall to the ground and become completely immobilized, like a puddle of mud stuck to the floor.

If he couldn’t stand up anymore, his and Winnie’s story would end right there and then.

Yulissa was almost out of breath.

She was close to pulling out the key because she was afraid Christopher really would suffocate her, killing her in a painful manner. Of course, she didn’t want to die. She still wanted to live and find her grandfather, after all.

A plan was even formulated in her mind, which involved her ambushing him from behind when he grabbed the key to rescue Winnie.

However, she quickly realized that was a stupid plan. Why should I wait until he grabbed the key before I retaliate? He’s injured! He’s about to die from massive blood loss! There’s no reason for me to be afraid of him. Do I have a loose screw in my head? Based on how much effort it took him to stand up earlier, I bet the strength he’s using to grab my neck is probably all the energy he has left.
