Bennett was well-trained. Even though Adrian was skilled, he couldnt subdue Bennett.
But Holden quickly joined the fight. Soon, Bennett was at a disadvantage, eventually being disarmed by Adrian.
Seizing the opportunity, Adrian pinned Bennetts arms behind him, finally subduing him.
Holden fired three shots into the sky, instantly capturing everyones attention. He then pressed the gun against Bennetts throat, locking eyes with Bennetts men. Drop your weapons if you dont want to see your leader die!
Observing Bennetts precarious situation, his men exchanged uneasy glances and reluctantly dropped their weapons.
Acting swiftly, Holden ordered, Stand down. Allow us to depart, and well release Bennett unharmed. I give you my word.
Despite Holdens firm stance, Bennetts men were still itching to do something.
A bold member of Bennetts crew attempted a covert move, drawing a backup firearm to shoot Holden. Fortunately, Holden remained alert and evaded the incoming bullet just in time.
Witnessing this, Adrian snapped. He seized Bennett, pressing a knife against his throat with enough force to draw blood, his voice filled with anger. No more games, Bennett. If your men attempt anything foolish again, I wont go easy this time.
However, Bennett dismissed his threat.
He sneered, Go ahead; end my life. But dont delude yourselves into thinking you can escape Conata if you do that.
Bennett wasnt bluffing; he genuinely believed his words. He knew Holden and Adrian couldnt kill him.
Almost half of Conatas influential figures were connected to his family; they wouldnt want him to die.
Besides, killing him would only create more problems for Holden and his people to escape. If they killed him, they would face severe repercussions.

You think Im bluffing? Adrian intensified the pressure of the knife, and his expression contorted in fury. Ive faced adversaries far more formidable than you. Youre merely an arms dealer; dont test my limits.
Then go ahead and kill me, Bennett challenged with a smirk. Its been a while since anyone threatened my life. Im starting to miss the excitement.
Adrian was at a loss for words. In fact, he didnt dare to kill Bennett.
It wasnt the right place. If they were in Eleymond, he would have killed Bennett countless times to vent his frustrations.
Realizing Bennett wasnt falling for it, Adrian redirected his rage and plunged the knife into Bennetts arm, resulting in a spray of blood.
Adrian had experienced Bennetts brutality firsthand, and he understood the agony he was inflicting now surpassed what he had endured.
Yet, Bennett endured the agony in silence, his gaze ablaze with hatred.
Dont underestimate me, Adrian growled. I may not be able to kill you, but I can ensure your existence becomes a living nightmare.
Although Bennetts penetrating stare unnerved Adrian, he continued his menacing taunts, twisting the knife further. Seeing Bennett wince, Adrian added, If this isnt sufficient, I can discover more agonizing points. Alternatively, I could cut off your penis, rendering you impotent towards women. Youll never be able to have children anymore.
