StarNovelChapter 404 As he motioned to his crew to grab me, Colin's icy gaze locked onto James, a barely restrained fury simmering in his eyes.
He gradually let go of my hand.
Staring down James, I shoved aside anyone in my way and began to approach him.
James, panicking with his bleeding leg, started to back away. "What do you think you're doing? Why are you standing there, grab her!" "We're the masterminds behind this game. If you want to make it out alive, it's all about who listens," I said with a smirk, eyeing his cronies, planning to give them a taste of their own medicine. "Follow my lead, and I can get us out.

Just as the stone wall began to close, I kicked James into the gap, his cries of desperation echoing as the gap sealed shut.
"Does he really deserve to escape with us?" I asked coldly.
Finn looked away. "I didn't see anything... What just happened?" Robin scratched his head. "Uh?" "If he's smart enough, he should remember how we got out, right?" Finn whispered.
Annora shook her head, puzzled. "I... I don't remember." I scoffed. If he couldn't make it out, that was on him.
"The staircase is collapsing! We need to move, now!" Suddenly, the emergency exit began to shake.
As the staircase threatened to give way, I grabbed Colin's wrist and pulled him down to safety.
Once we reached a secure area, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did everyone make it?" Robin asked.
"Melody Burton and Dexter Fitzgerald... They're not here!" someone realized.
