The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah continued emotionlessly, starting to count, “1, 2…”

“I’ll call him.

” Winston grabbed his phone and rang up Wallace.

The darkness enveloped the outside world.

The car fell into a hush, and after a short while, the call connected.

Hannah stayed silent, and the guy on the other end of the line remained hushed, too.

Winston kept his focus on driving, not initiating conversation.

“I don’t care who you are.

If you have him watch me again, I’ll end him one day.

”

Upon hearing Hannah’s voice, a grin spread across Wallace’s face on the other end of the Line.

She bore a resemblance to him in his youthful days.

In a low voice, Wallace responded, “I don’t want to hurt you.

But if you’re mad, go ahead and try.

”

Hannah found herself at a loss for words, struck by the detachment in Wallace’s tone.

She could sense it was a middle-aged man, a fellow Cadilind native.

Hannah’s glanced at Winston and asked the man on the other end of the line, “Is it because he couldn’t finish your task so that you want him to be killed?”

“I’d just like to put it out there.

If you are not keen on taking him out, maybe consider keeping him among the living.

”

Upon hearing Wallace’s words, Hannah cracked a smile.

“Alright, I’ll admit I don’t want to snuff him out, but your attitude’s putting a frown on my face.

What’s the reason for me to set him free?”

Wallace’s voice deepened.

“Because I know where the person you’re searching for is.

”

What?!

Hannah’s eyes widened in surprise, her tone turning icy, “What are you implying?”

Leisurely lighting a cigar, Wallace slowly revealed, “Rocco Haywood.

”

At the mention of Rocco, Hannah felt a surge of excitement! “You’ve captured him, haven’t you?”

“Take a breather.

Our crew are not the ones who snatched him up.

He got himself into this mess by poking around where he shouldn’t have.

”

Hannah inhaled deeply.

She now got a lead on Rocco’s whereabouts, which left her mind racing.

Even if it turned out to be a setup, today was her shot at it! “Tell me where he is now!”

Wallace smiled, “What’s wrong? Do you have any concerns for the person you’re aiming to rescue? Okay.

”

He hesitated, then said, “Make me a promise, and I’ll spill the beans on where he’s at.

”
