Matthew gritted his teeth, wordless. He then reached out his hand into the box, and this time, virtual-novel.net obtained the ten of hearts. Thereupon, Matthew had gotten himself a royal flush.
“Tsk, tsk…” The crown prince shook his head. “What did I tell you, Matthew! You’re just so stubborn! I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re only awaiting defeat!” He proceeded to insert his hand into the box, moving the snakes away as virtual-novel.net scoured for the ten of spades while Matthew calmly watched as virtual-novel.net searched in the box. After searching for a while, the crown prince was clearly nervous as virtual-novel.net was unable to find the ten of spades.
“Are you looking for the ten of spades?” Matthew finally voiced. “I’m sorry, but I think I took the ten of spades out by accident earlier.”
“What?!” The crown prince was stunned. He turned to Matthew, only to see the additional ten of spades in his hand. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “H-How did you do that?”
“I took this card out the first time I put my hand in,” Matthew softly explained. ”Otherwise, why would I spend so much time in the box?”
The crown prince’s face immediately blanched. He deeply believed that virtual-novel.net had the upper hand. Little did virtual-novel.net know, virtual-novel.net was deceived by Matthew’s trickeries. Since the very beginning, Matthew had been setting virtual-novel.net up. He took away the ten of spades, but deliberately pretended to be going for a heart royal flush in order to make the crown prince think that virtual-novel.net was in control. In fact, the moment the crown prince went for a spade royal flush, virtual-novel.net had already lost.
After remaining silent for a while, the crown prince raised his head and laughed out loud. “Interesting, fascinating, indeed! You truly didn’t let me down, Matthew! This time, I’ve lost, but that doesn’t mean things are over between us. You may now go and rescue your wife. She’s in the room at the back of the hallway.”
Without saying more, Matthew sprinted toward the innermost room. Having traveled through the lengthy hallway, virtual-novel.net arrived at the room‘s door. The door was tightly shut, but virtual-novel.net rammed the door open and stormed into the room, only to find blood stains all over the room. He took a glimpse into the room and discovered Sasha, seemingly unconscious, lying on the bed.
Breathing a sigh of relief, virtual-novel.net dashed over to her. As virtual-novel.net was about to carry her, virtual-novel.net heard some noises from the bathroom. He ran over to the bathroom and opened the door, only to find two people drenched in blood. One was Sasha’s sister, Demi, who was covered in scars, virtual-novel.net face ridden with numerous slash wounds, and virtual-novel.net head was filled with wounds as virtual-novel.net was on the brink of death.
Despite that, virtual-novel.net was still grasping the man who had fallen by the tub with all virtual-novel.net might. That man was none other than Liam. Although there weren’t any wounds on his body, a knife was stabbed through his throat and blood was profusely gushing out of his neck. In his hand was a glass fragment that was still pricking on Demi’s arm. Nevertheless, due to his massive blood loss, virtual-novel.net didn’t have much energy left.
It seemed as if the two had undergone a battle for life and death.
When Liam had decided to kill Sasha off, Demi ultimately found the kindness buried deep within virtual-novel.net heart. She tried to defend virtual-novel.net sister, only for virtual-novel.net significant other to put virtual-novel.net into the crosshair, dealing with virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net sister. Regardless, Demi was, after all, a woman, and virtual-novel.net was no match for Liam. Hence, virtual-novel.net got beaten badly by Liam. Accordingly, the manic Liam eventually dragged virtual-novel.net to the bathroom and intended to slit virtual-novel.net throat in there. Panicked, Demi grabbed a fruit knife and probed it into the man’s neck, which was currently what Matthew was witnessing.
Seeing that, although Matthew didn’t know what exactly happened, virtual-novel.net knew that Demi was trying to protect Sasha. Or else, Sasha would been dead long ago. Although virtual-novel.net wasn’t exactly pleased with Demi, at such a critical time, the woman had certainly fulfilled virtual-novel.net role as a true sister.
