Chapter 210 Heart-pounding Rescue (2)

As the couple descended the mountain, Nicholas tightly held Nancy’s hand, finding solace in its delicate, comforting touch.

The kidnappers watched them leave. One of Puck’s lackeys went ahead. “Are we letting them go just like that, Mr. Wolfe?”

Puck’s response was brief and cold. “Yes.”

Another lackey came forward. “Are you sure he’ll give us the remaining money, Mr. Wolfe?”

“I don’t know,” Puck said.

“What should we do? Don’t worry. Give us the word, and we’ll capture them.”

Puck turned around and smacked the head of the lackey who just spoke. “You idiot. We can’t capture them now. Didn’t you hear Sallow? If we didn’t let the woman go, he’d kill us.”

“You don’t have to be scared of them, Mr. Wolfe. We’ve gotten a lot of money, so why don’t we…” The lackey drew his hand across his throat, implying the sinister notion of killing the couple.

Puck smacked his head again. “Is murder all you can think of? Once I do that, the whole nation will be after me. I’ll be living in the shadows forever like a rat. Even if I don’t get the remaining money, I have enough to spend. And besides, the boss told us to lay low for a while. If it weren’t for the gambling debt, I wouldn’t have done this. This was risky. Listen here, if anyone tells the boss about this operation, I’ll skin him alive.”

“Yes, Mr. Wolfe.”

Just then, they received a message. It was the location of the hidden money sent by Nicholas. They quickly dug it out, discovering 150 grand in the hole. Ten minutes later, Nicholas and Nancy were already one-quarter of the way to safety. Puck secured another 150 grand.

The couple kept looking behind them, but they saw no pursuers. She finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Are we safe now, Nicholas?”
