Chapter 1946

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Hugo asked the handsome young man.

Theo returned his stare without a word.

His face was wounded. Besides getting punched in his abdomen downstairs, he got hit in the face. Thus, a trail of blood trickled down the corner of his lips.

Nevertheless, Theo's lips twitched when he heard the question from Hugo's lips.

"What use is that?" he responded calmly.

Hmm, interesting answer.

A smile nudged Hugo's lips when he realized there was no fear in the young man's eyes.

"Indeed, if I want to kill you, I won't change my mind even if you go on your knees to beg for my forgiveness.

However, you'll need to provide me a reason to spare your life," Hugo told him.

With that said, he retracted his cane and strode over to the couch.

Rosalie parted her lips in an attempt to defend the bodyguard again, but Zylan grabbed her hand and gestured for her to stay put.

"I had two choices back there, so I picked the one that would give me a higher chance of surviving," Theo answered.

"Oh?"
