Hugo gloated as he watched Pearl lose consciousness. She was now in his hands!

As he prepared to take Pearl up to his room, a loud crash at the door caused it to swing open from a powerful kick. Richard stood there, his face darkened with anger at the sight of Pearl unconscious. Despite his deathly pallor, he still emitted an aura of danger.
