As soon as Luo Feng mentioned Alice's safety, Charlie regained his composure.
He knew that acting impulsively was not an option at this point, especially since Alice was the only bargaining chip he had against George.
However, standing idly by was also against his nature.
As George watched Luo Feng, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"No, I must act first. Although taking the initiative may not necessarily yield results, it will at least draw his attention," George mused.
"I am an obvious target. If he pays even a little attention to my actions, he'll be able to discern my motives. So if I even consider making a move, he'll notice. Even if I remain inactive, I may not necessarily gain the upper hand."
"Besides, George is no fool. He'll figure it out soon enough. If I remain inactive, it might arouse his suspicions. I must act."
"I'll distract him with a frontal assault, while you take on the real task of rescuing Alice."
