Chapter 601

Talbot's gaze lingered on Citrine, and a twisted idea flickered across his face. His voice slithered through the room. "Originally, I planned for both of us to go down together tonight. But now, I can't help but pity you."

A manic smile split his lips. "I've changed my mind."

He jabbed a finger toward Raymond Carmichael and the others. "How about this: kill those five, and I'll let you walk free. What do you say?"

Talbot pressed on, his tone almost coaxing. "Don't you hate them? If not for them, would you have been tortured half to death on Mirage Cay?"

"Come on, be good. Kill them, and I'll let you live."
