The woman was so frightened she shivered, quickly closing her mouth and not daring to make a sound.
The young man saw her quiet down, withdrew his gaze, and continued whittling the wooden branch in his hand.
Madam Tan sat there with her head down, lost in thought. After a while, she shakily stood up, approached the young man, raised her hand, and unfastened her collar.
"Young hero, I beg you not to kill me. As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything you want." The woman's voice trembled a little.
Gabriel Blake paused his actions, looked up, raised his chin, and smiled faintly as he watched the woman undress.
Madam Tan at this moment should be timid and bashfully removing her outer garments, attempting to seduce him.
But she couldn't complete the action at her collar with her hand, as she stared straight into the young man's eyes.
In those brilliant eyes sparkling like glass, sarcasm and ridicule were evident.
As if mocking her current behavior.
