Tinwood practically roared his final sentence, making all of Eden Garden tremble slightly. His presence was imposing.
After listening to Tinwood's speech, Richard silently watched him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After three seconds, Richard blinked. Seeming to reach an understanding, he nodded lightly and said, "So, you simply can't sincerely cooperate with me, right?"
"Right," Tinwood answered bluntly.
"In other words, there was never anything to discuss from beginning to end, correct?"
"Yes!"
"Very good. Very admirable." Richard revealed an approving expression and glanced at Tinwood. "I have to say, your unyielding spirit is quite admirable. You've finally been honest for once, and that's good for both of us. It saves us from continuing to waste each other's time. In that case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. After all, it would be useless. Let's leave it at that. Goodbye."
After speaking, Richard waved at Pandora, who was about to return to her room, and said, "Pandora, I need your help with something."
"What?" Pandora quickly ran over, her eyes shining as she asked, "What help?"
"Him." Richard pointed at Tinwood. "Now that I'm sure this fellow can't cooperate, he has no remaining value. Dispose of him. I'm handing him over to you. Do whatever you want with him, but I have one requirement."
"What?"
"Don't let him live."
"Okay." Pandora's eyes lit up. She grabbed Tinwood from the sink in one motion, gripped him with both hands, and began trying to snap him in half.
As she bent him, she said, "I was just thinking I needed a pen holder. If I break him in the middle, he'll be perfect."
"Then give it your best," Richard said, stepping off to the side.
Encouraged, Pandora put all her strength into bending him.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
