The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never
Chapter 1729

While they waited, Hannah continued, “If I win the first round, he’ll be spared.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable, does it?”

The man finally responded, pressing a finger against his mask as he regarded Hannah with curiosity.

“So, you want to play the hero? I must remind you that many people come here with the same intention, but now’s not the time for heroics.

If he loses the bet and suffers consequences, it’s not on you.

”

In a lower, colder tone, the masked man added, “But if you’re determined to defend him, then his fate rests in your hands.

If you lose, you’ll be the one to end his life.

”

The masked man spoke at greater length, likely due to replaceing Hannah intriguing.

Following his remark, he smirked deviously.

“This request is within reason for me.

If you choose this, I’ll acquiesce.

Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes,” Hannah responded calmly, her smile faint.

“Regardless, he faces death.

I’m offering him a lifeline.

He ought to be grateful.

Yet, you raise a valid point; we should seek his input.

”

Hannah raised her foot and delivered a swift kick to Coen’s shin, prompting a yelp.

“Ow!” The kick made Coen scream again, but Hannah’s expression remained unchanged.

“Tell me, what do you think?” she asked calmly.

Despite the sharp pain, Coen was aware of the situation.

He knew he was doomed to die anyway and had no complaints about Hannah betting his life.

Refusing her meant no chance of survival, but with her bet, there was at least a fifty percent chance.

Coen immediately shouted, “Yes! I will!”

Hannah narrowed her eyes, smiling faintly.

“Very well, let’s test your luck.

”

With that settled, she turned to the rabbit-masked man.

“He’s consented.

Does our bet stand?”

“In that case, if there are no objections, then I concur.

”

The staff who went to get the cards hadn’t returned by the time their conversation ended.

The hall fell silent for a long time.

Removing his fingers from his mask, the man spoke up.

“As the game hasn’t started, I have a question for you.

”

Hannah reclined comfortably and replied, “Ask away.

”

“What prompts you to save this man? He swindled countless individuals, and his company is fraudulent, holding many people’s savings.

Is he truly deserving of salvation?”

His inquiry implied he didn’t kill for monetary gain, suggesting Hannah should consider his motives.

“What he did has nothing to do with me.

I don’t have any sense of morality about it.

I can’t say that someone like him should be punished by the law.

I just dislike losing control of the situation, and I dislike your superior attitude, as if you have everything under control.

”

With her back to the crowd, everyone could only hear her relaxed tone; her calm smile was hidden from view.

“You want to kill him, but I don’t want it to go as you wish.

”

Hannah’s unexpected declaration left the masked man momentarily befuddled, prompting a bewildered blink and a moment of silence.

Meanwhile, the staff reappeared with blank cards and pens in hand.
