Chapter 525
Pearl found herself in a dilemma. On one hand, there were real leads about her mother’s whereabouts; on the
other, they had been preparing for this engagement party for a long time.
She lowered her gaze and remained silent.
“Rick, look, even Pearl is tempted. You shouldn’t stop her.” Hugo raised his brow, confident that Pearl would choose
what worked best for her.
“Richard, I really want to follow up on this clue,” Pearl finally spoke, her face troubled. “Can we proceed with our

Richard looked at her with a mix of concern and determination. “Alright, but there’s no need for any trouble. We’ll
go back to our engagement, and I’ll have my men extract the information from him.”
Hugo’s smile disappeared. What? While they enjoyed their engagement, he would be subjected to torture? What a
joke!
Hugo raised his hand, and a few burly men appeared behind him. “I wanted to take the easy way, but you’re
leaving me with no choice.”
Even if Richard and Pearl could fight, they were outnumbered, and Hugo believed his men could overpower them.
“Get them!”
“Take them down and grab Hugo,” Richard said calmly, showing no signs of fear. He gestured, and a group of men
instantly appeared on their side.
Hugo realized he was in trouble. “It seems we’re evenly matched, Rick. Are you sure about this?
He smirked, trying to keep up his bravado.

Pearl chuckled. “Hugo, if you intend to kidnap someone, you should have brought more people. Not only did you
fail, but you’re also in an even worse situation now.” She then tilted her head to the side and said, “Show yourself.”
Once Pearl said that, a new group of people emerged.
Hugo was shocked. Who were these people? Even his men didn’t see them!

Hugo’s heart dropped because he knew he was done.
“Richard, let them fight. Let’s get back to our engagement,” Pearl declared, determined not to let this delay ruin
their special day. With such a disparity in numbers and the quality of her men as top fighters, she knew Hugo’s men
would likely be severely beaten.
Richard nodded and issued orders to his men. “Keep Hugo alive. Do whatever you want with the rest.” Their fate
would be determined by their ability to withstand the onslaught.
