With a cold glance at Basil Jaak, Alger continued his threat, "I have already called my men, they're on their way here. The moment I give the order, no matter how much you struggle, you'll never escape!"
"Haha!" Upon hearing Alger's threat, Basil Jaak laughed heartily, showing no fear. Rather, he asserted, "Alger, are you trying to scare a child? You have people, you think we don't? Don't even mention, in your opinion, those few men of yours can really ensure your safety?"
Alger's pupils constricted fiercely, a hint of fear finally seeped into his eyes. Carefully as he had calculated, he hadn't anticipated that Basil could rely on his insane agility to hold him hostage.
At that time, even if his men dared to try and rescue him, he would likely face dire circumstances and risks.
True to being a formidable adversary, despite his internal fear, Alger managed to keep his fear hidden, adopting a fearless demeanor as if he were not afraid of Basil taking action at all.
