Chapter 491
Robin should be brimming with confidence if she really knew where Irene Spencer was.
So, why was she panicking?
Even if Isaac could never calm down when it comes to Irene, he was not stupid and his mind still worked just fine.
Keeping his face straight, he said, "Show me proof that you know where she is and I'll release him."
And that naturally left Robin flustered.
She prepared nothing at all, and she had no idea why Isaac was willing to believe her.
Moreover, evidence? She did not even know if Irene was actually alive!
"Like I said, let Ian go and I'll tell you where she is," Robin said, a little too impatient just then. "You'll never find her if you refuse."
Even James was laughing at her folly and ignorance at that point.
Isaac was just not letting any chance slip by to find lrene-he would not be here otherwise.
And since she was feeling guilty in the first place, James's laugh only unsettled her further.
She was trembling so much she could not even hide the panic on her face, but she feigned composure nonetheless. "W-What are you laughing at?"
"If you actually know anything, tell US where Irene Spencer is right now," James snarled. "If you don't, we'll feed Ian Jefferson to the fishes.
His threat left Robin falling apart-she was clenching her fists, but her hands were shaking from fear, "l-lf you... hurt him, you won't ever find out."
From the very start, it was a game of who blinks first, and Robin was convinced that she could convince Isaac and James that she knew where Irene was.
But she was too inexperienced, and thus exposed herself early on.
James traded a look with Isaac and said, "Since you don't want to say, you just have to watch him die."
Then, as Robin looked on, he gestured for his men to tie a rock to Ian and started walking him to the sea.
"W-What are you doing?!" Realizing that they were dead serious, Robin was on the verge of bursting into tears. "Don't you want to know where Irene Spencer is?"
James did not even look her way and gestured at his men-with a loud splash and water splattering everywhere, Ian was thrown into the ocean!
"I-I'll tell you! Just get him out of there!" Robin cried.
"We're all ears," James said calmly.
"I-I don't know," Robin mumbled, giving in to the pressure. "Please, you have to save him!"
No one moved, however, and were merely staring coldly at her.
Desperate and seized by terror, she dropped to her knees, begging, I just wanted to save Ian! That's why I lied about Irene spencer-l don't even know if she's alive, but you believed me anyway! Please... you have to help him!"
"Get him out of there," Isaac said coolly, and his men pulled Ian out of the water.
Drenched to the skin, Ian would have drowned if they were too slow.
Robin ran up and tore the gag keeping his mouth shut. "Are you alright?"
Ian coughed, splattering water out of his nose and unable to speak just then.
