A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1298

Just as the robotic arms were about to seize Robin, Scarface Man lowered his voice again, “Serpentine motion, now!”

Robin had no reason to doubt Scarface Man anymore. He gripped Eleanor’s hand, and with a swift serpentine movement, they bolted towards the exit of the

The mechanical arms, besides moving in a straight line, could swerve. Under Robin’s quick zigzagging maneuvers, they extended endlessly and turned infinitely.

Blue’s programming was clear: it had to sever an arm before retracting. Otherwise, the relentless automaton would keep chasing him until its mission was accomplished.

The unfortunate one was Eleanor. Handcuffed to Robin, their fate was intertwined. While Robin was still able to run, Eleanor, frail and weak, was quickly running
