Right Person, Wrong Time

"You know what, Miss Anderson? Colton is getting closer to us. Soon, both of you will leave for the other world along with me and the Yaels. I won't let you suffer during the process, though."

Logan grinned eerily, and his hideous teeth made him look like a demon.

Nicole pretended not to hear him and looked down at the floor in silence.

While waiting for Colton's arrival, Logan had revealed his trump cards as he was too smug.

In actuality, the people outside the warehouse wouldn't sacrifice their lives for Logan. If Colton brought several people with him and hurt them, they would leave. As such, they wouldn't pose any threat.

The most lethal things were the bomb around Logan's waist and the ones hidden in the warehouse.

At the thought of this, Nicole appeared determined as she stared at the pouch around the older man's waist. That was where the bomb was kept.

As for where the other bombs were, Logan refused to reveal anything regardless of how hard she tried to probe.

"Stop looking at the bomb around my waist, Nicole. You can't dismantle it. Colton won't be able to do that either."

Logan had intentionally told Nicole about the bombs. After all, it was torturous for anyone to know how soon they would die and the way they would get killed. He loved seeing Nicole not being able to do anything while knowing she was about to lose her life soon.

Nicole didn't respond to Logan, for the older man looked more like a lunatic who was determined to bring everyone to hell with him.

"Where are you, Nicole?!"

It was Colton's voice. Nicole lifted her head and looked in a particular direction, soon catching sight of the man's figure.

"Well, Mr. Gardner has finally arrived after such a long time." Logan got to his feet and approached Colton with a smile. There was nothing amiable about his smile, though, for he looked like a demon from hell.

Nicole tried struggling out of the ropes, for she knew she could do it. The men in black clothes hadn't tied her up tightly earlier, and she could get rid of the ropes in two minutes. However, since Logan had been watching her the entire time, she had to do it stealthily.

Now, it was the best chance to set herself free.

"Old Mr. Yael, you no longer have good judgment since you're old. What's the point of tying up a frail woman? I was the one who destroyed your research center."

When Colton entered the warehouse and saw Nicole tied up, he was furious.

He had wanted to beat Logan up, but much to his surprise, the woman started struggling with the ropes while they communicated with each other through their gazes.

They could understand one another through eye contact.

"Do you think I have no idea you destroyed my research center? I made you come here to settle the score with you!"

Logan tottered forward with the cane. Without Ryan supporting his weight, he found it difficult to walk. As such, he stopped in his tracks and lifted the cane to point it at Colton. Very quickly, his eyes reddened with resentment.
