As Howard uttered these words, he wanted to ask those around to catch me.
Steven looked at Howard with frigid eyes, his gaze filled with uncontrollable murderous intent. Slowly, he released my hand.
I fixed my gaze on Howard, pushing aside everyone who was in my way. I slowly approached him.
Howard was in a state of panic. His injured leg was still bleeding as he backed away in fear. "What do you want to do? Why are you just standing there in a daze? Quickly, catch her!"
I smiled and looked at those people, intending to give them a taste of their own medicine. "We're indeed the planners of the game. Your survival depends on your obedience. If you obey, I can ensure your escape. But if you continue to follow him, death will be inevitable for you."
The few of them exchanged glances and stepped away. They were all frightened.
Howard glared at me. "Stephany! Who do you think you're fooling? Don't listen to her. She's not going to rescue us. Each of us is the target of the lunatic. She said that on purpose."
I delivered a forceful blow to Howard's stomach, bringing him to the ground. Then, I stepped hard on his injured leg. "You're quite the talker. I could kill you right now, but where's the fun in that?"
With a click, the door swung open once more. Carol appeared to be unconscious as Joel carefully carried her outside. Zion also followed closely.
Quinn stepped forward and looked at Carol with concern. "How is she?"
Joel shook his head. "She's just suffering from an emotional shock. She's going to be okay."
Tears welled up in Quinn's eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much!"
Joel remained silent, delivering Carol into Quinn's hands.
Rachel also glanced nervously at Zion. "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Zion was visibly surprised. "You got here before us? I was actually contemplating turning around and locating you."
Rachel pointed at me and Steven awkwardly. "We ran into Steven."
Zion replied, "That makes sense."
Just as the stone wall was about to close, I swiftly pulled Howard and forcefully kicked him inside.
"Stephany! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Everyone was astonished as they witnessed me kicking him in. They saw the door close tightly and heard Howard's desperate cry.
