At that moment, Peter’s voice sounded from a distance. “Alex, why didn’t you wait for me?” Alex instantly felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. Right, how could he have forgotten about Peter?
“They won’t let us leave.” In this place, Peter was equivalent to Alex being in Summer City. Everyone knew him, so naturally, they would respect Peter. When Peter glanced at the bodyguards, they immediately explained on their own accord.
However, their explanation was the same as before, accusing Damian of cheating. However, Peter didn’t believe them. He looked at Alex and asked, “Is this the person you are looking for?”
Alex nodded. “Yes. I must take him with me!” Peter hummed in acknowledgment and then turned to the bodyguards while saying, “I guarantee he didn’t cheat. Now let them leave.”
The bodyguards exchanged glances. What should they do? Phantom had instructed them to keep Damian here.
However, Peter was the young master of the Charles Family and they couldn’t simply offend him. And it just wasn’t worth it to cause trouble for the likes of Damian.
Peter remained calm and said, “I know you can’t make the decision. Go and consult your boss!” The bodyguards hesitated for a moment and said, “All right. Please wait.”
With that, one of the bodyguards took out his phone and walked away. Peter looked at Damian, an ordinary-looking man who wasn’t particularly tall or handsome. Damian had a sly and cunning appearance which gave off an air of treachery.
Damian’s heart instantly sank. Would Phantom offend the Charles Family for his sake? That was definitely not possible! He had to escape. His small eyes darted around as he observed the movements of those around him.
However, Alex didn’t give him any chance. He kept his gaze fixed on Damian and pressed the dagger against his lower back. Damian could clearly feel the blade piercing through his clothes and touching his flesh. Any slight movement would cause a sharp pain to shoot through his body. It seemed that if he wanted to escape, he would either be injured or killed.
Moreover, the position of the dagger wasn’t ideal. If he desperately tried to break free, it would undoubtedly injure his waist. If his waist was injured, how could he enjoy women in the future?
He admitted that he was afraid. No one wouldn’t be afraid in this situation. He also knew that if he fell into Alex’s hands, it would be even worse than injuring his waist. Alex would make him beg for life but refuse to let him die.
Although the possibility of Phantom saving him was only one in a million, he placed all his hopes on her and hoped that she would save his life as they were in the same boat.
At this moment, the bodyguard had finished making the call and walked back. This time, their previous domineering attitude changed, and they slightly nodded to Peter and Alex.
“Our boss wishes to send her regards to you, Mr. Peter,” said the bodyguard as he gestured toward the exit. For a moment, Damian’s heart turned to ashes. That damned woman really had no intention of helping him.
The pressure of the dagger against his waist increased, signaling him to move forward. He glanced around and felt hopeless. He could only follow Alex and walk out of the casino.
However, he couldn’t just go along with it. If he ended up in Alex’s hands, things would definitely take a turn for the worse. His eyes darted around as he looked for an opportunity to escape!
Just as Alex was forcing him into a car, Damian pretended to be obedient while bending down as if he was about to get in. At the moment when the dagger left his body, he seized the opportunity and suddenly straightened up, pushing Alex away before turning and sprinting away.
He thought he had a great plan. He would deliberately take a detour before reentering the casino through the back door. The most dangerous place would also be the safest place. Alex would never expect that he would return to the casino.
However, things didn’t go as he had planned. He had greatly underestimated Alex’s abilities…
