Louis's words made Claudia Ross pause, her foot suspended in mid-air.
She stared at him as if paralyzed.
Louis slowly lifted his head, a cryptic smile on his lips: "Aren't you worried about Wyatt Perry? If you come back to Slan Country with me, I can rescue him tomorrow."
"How will you rescue him?" It took Claudia Ross a while to recover, anxiously wanting to know if Louis was hiding something.
Louis pressed his lips together: "I'll tell you once you come back to Slan Country with me!"
He's not a fool; if he just told her, she would immediately rescue Wyatt Perry, and then what would he have to bargain with?
Claudia Ross's face didn't look good, her voice tinged with a sob: "You know I won't go with you, yet you still tease me on purpose. Please tell me how to save Wyatt, I beg you..."
Her eyes were full of pleading, almost enough for her to kneel before him.
If kneeling would help, she would do so without hesitation.
