"Can we leave now?" the words echoed repeatedly in Vincent's mind, and his smile gradually faded.
Kyle observed Vincent's reaction and gulped nervously. He then glanced at Lucas, who appeared elated, and Kyra, who anxiously awaited Vincent's response.
Vincent stared coldly into Kyra's eyes and firmly stated, "You can't."
"Why, you snakey! You promised to let us leave once she finished the blueprints. You can't go back on your word, you liar!" Lucas exclaimed angrily, flipping his hair and striding toward Vincent, almost throwing a punch.
Vincent, however, managed to restrain Lucas by clutching his fist and offered a dark smile. "You can't leave because..."
"Because why? I don't care! I just want to go home." Lucas retorted, withdrawing his fist and glaring at Vincent.
