"You will survive."
The moment Karina heard those words, her eyes widened and her gaze quivered—it was a lie.
Alex was speaking a lie; she could tell, and she was sure that Alex said it because he knew she could tell.
That means that the number he asked for was not there, causing her to grit her teeth in helplessness.
'Do I have no other choice...?'
She muttered inwardly.
She hadn't been just walking down the path along with Alex; she was thinking of ways to move forward with her plan if the number of items Alex wanted was not there, and she did come up with a plan, but...
*Step**Step*...
Successfully executing it was a different matter.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to run away, so she moved forward, wanting to at least make out how many there were.
"L-Let me check."
She shuttered, nervous about the chances of her plan succeeding; she just wanted to move closer to Alex.
"Stop."
