They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 337

Chapter 336: Execute Them at Dawn

Eglon’s smile twitched. For the first time, something dark flickered in his eyes. But it lasted only a second.

King Eglon’s fake gentleness cracked like a mask dropping. His expression turned sharp, his eyes cold. “So now you’re saying anything just to scare me? That’s cute,” he said with a bitter smile. “But I’m glad you realize it. I am cold hearted.”

Ruth didn’t flinch. Her next words hit like a thunderclap.

“Are you sure about that?”

Something in her voice made the guards tense.

Eglon paused. That flicker of doubt returned. His confidence wavered for just a second. Then, silently, he walked forward again, closer… and closer, until he stood directly in front of the prison bars, eyes scanning the five new prisoners.
