When Coralie stood beside Skylar, he took out a pocket knife from his belt and dashed toward Yohan. He then put the knife on Yohan's neck and said, "Let us out."
The blade touched Yohan's skin, leaving a red trace on it.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Yohan never expected that. He felt pain on his neck, he couldn't help but frown.
The bodyguards around did not expect that Skylar had kept a weapon in his belt too. They walked toward him. One of the senior-ranking bodyguards even took out a gun.
"It's tough not to play some tricks when dealing with someone like you."
Skylar said while pushing Yohan to move forward.
He brought a gun along, but the gun was taken away when he underwent the body search. Luckily, he had a backup plan.
Coralie also did not expect Skylar's move. She followed closely behind Skylar, tugging at his suit, moving carefully.
The leg-cuffs made some clasping sound.
"Don't be afraid, follow me."
Skylar felt Coralie's fear. Hence, he comforted her.
Hearing what he said, Yohan suddenly stood still and grabbed the knife with one hand. He said, "Skylar, even if you kill me today, you wouldn't be able to get away with it. If you don't, there's also no way you would get out. After all, this is S Country, not your country."
He controlled the pressure on the knife.
It would still be easy if Skylar wanted to kill him.
However, Yohan was right.
It was impossible for Skylar to kill him.
If he was killed, they would not be able to leave.
Seeing that Skylar didn't utter a word, Yohan spoke, "Why don't we play a game? The winner gets to take Coralie away."
"What if the person loses?"
Coralie stood behind Skylar, asking nervously.
She had been with Yohan for such a long time. She knew his character and that the loser would have to leave something.
"Lose?" Yohan looked indifferent, but his gaze fell on Skylar, who was standing beside him. He said with a grimace, "Of course, the loser would have to leave his life behind."
"No!"
"Ok."
After Yohan spoke, the two voices almost came at the same time.
Coralie rejected the idea whereas Skylar agreed to it.
Skylar knew that given the power of the Watson Group in S Country, that might be the only way he could take Coralie away.
"No. How could you take your life as a bet?"
The bets Coralie knew were in the form of money. There was no gambling on lives.
She totally couldn't accept it.
Furthermore, someone would lose for sure. If Yohan won, she certainly couldn't bear to watch Skylar die.
However, if Skylar won, she would feel that Yohan's sins were not deep enough to justify his death.
"Corrie, don't meddle in men's affairs."
While Yohan spoke, Skylar had already removed the knife from his neck.
"What are we playing?"
"You make the choice, President Holland. Either a card game, shooting, or horse racing. Forget about playing chess. I don't know how to play that."
Yohan made it clear that he did not know how to play chess.
It meant that Skylar could choose from any other options.
"Shooting."
Skylar chose directly.
