Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 328

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.

"Put her down, Hugo," Richard demanded.

With great effort, Richard had managed to reach the hotel upon hearing that Pearl was meeting Hugo there. Despite being in and out of consciousness, he was driven by an emptiness he felt when she wasn't by his side. He mustered all his strength to open his eyes and scan the room until he found her.

"You arrived rather quickly, Richard," Hugo commented, his smile devoid of warmth. He was surprised that Richard had made it to the hotel in his weakened state, admiring the man's resilience.

"How could I not come when I learned you were a disgusting animal?" Richard coughed and fixed his gaze on Pearl, a surge of energy propelling him forward. "Are you going to put her down?"

"Put her down?" Hugo scoffed. "Richard, don't forget you've been poisoned. Even if you're the world's greatest fighter, you won't stand a chance against me."

"Who said I came alone?"

With that, a burly man stepped out from behind Richard. His imposing physique alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Hugo's smile vanished instantly. "Well, you do have some brains."

"Hugo, I'm giving you sixty seconds to release Pearl and hand over the ginkgo," Richard said firmly.

"Shouldn't you be listening to me now that I have Pearl?" Hugo found it funny that Richard was threatening him. Did he think Pearl would live long enough?
