Thinking of this, Daniel Williams looked at Guardian Tim and said, "You jump down!"
"Me?" Guardian Tim was stunned. He didn't expect Daniel Williams to ask him to jump.
Daniel Williams said expressionlessly, "Yes, you jump down now!"
"But, my lord, I am your trusted aide! You can't make me go to my death..." Guardian Tim cried out immediately.
Damn it! Knowing that the cliff ahead was bottomless and still being asked to jump, Daniel Williams was forcing him to die!
Daniel Williams impatiently replied, "Why are you talking so much? I told you to jump. If you keep talking, I'll kill you right now!"
To Daniel Williams, Guardian Tim was just a dog. Now it was time for this dog to be useful. If Guardian Tim refused to obey his orders, he would have to kill him. After all, a disobedient dog was of no use.
"I..." Guardian Tim opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He knew that if he didn't jump, Daniel Williams would really kill him. As a ruthless prince of Amerosia, Daniel Williams wouldn't hesitate.
Jumping might offer a slim chance of survival. Not jumping meant certain death. Guardian Tim approached the edge of the cliff and saw the abyss below. His legs trembled slightly. But he had no way out now. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped.
"Ah!" With a scream, Guardian Tim's body quickly plummeted.
Everyone watched in shock. No one knew what was happening. The cliff was bottomless; no one knew if Guardian Tim was dead or alive after falling.
Daniel Williams turned to Peterson Abernathy and said, "Mr. Abernathy, my man has jumped. Isn't it your turn now?"
Peterson Abernathy's face turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected Daniel Williams to be so cunning, making his subordinate jump first. It seemed everyone here was an old fox; no one could outwit the other.
Peterson Abernathy turned to Devil's Frown and said, "Devil's Frown, you jump!"
Instantly, Devil's Frown's face turned pale green. He realized that in the eyes of Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams, he and Guardian Tim were just cannon fodder.
But there was no choice; their strength was inferior, and they were under others' command. Being under someone else's wing meant accepting the role of cannon fodder.
"Yes!" Devil's Frown didn't waste any words and approached the cliff because he knew speaking up wouldn't change anything. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to jump.
Having pledged allegiance to the Abernathy family left him with no choice of his own. Devil's Frown gritted his teeth and jumped.
Seeing both Guardian Tim and Devil's Frown jump down, Daniel Williams said gravely, "Mr. Abernathy, we have no other choice now. Let's all jump together! Otherwise, even if we go back the way we came, we might not get out."
"Alright!" Peterson Abernathy knew it was impossible to make Daniel Williams jump first. Moreover, Daniel Williams was right; the way back was blocked. Going back was not an option anymore.
So they all jumped together-Daniel Williams, Peterson Abernathy, and the others.
Meanwhile...
Chris Shelby was falling rapidly; the wind roared past his ears. At this moment, Chris Shelby felt confused. Was this a real cliff and not an illusion? If it wasn't an illusion, wouldn't he be dead?
