My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1490

Nicole immediately stopped. She could not allow Carl to die again; she had already experienced the feeling of losing a comrade. She would rather die herself than have that feeling again.

"He, he, are you unwilling? Is he your boy toy?" The man in the face mask laughed maniacally, "If it's this way, I'm even more interested in killing him!" As he said this, he reloaded the gun.

"You dare! If he dies, you won't get the crest!" Nicole slowly crawled out of the car. She simply tossed the handgun and opened her watch. In front of everyone, the hologram of the crest appeared floating. Seeing it, the man was stunned.

When this thing was in his hands, it was merely a black screen that could not be opened. He did not expect the crest to be so dazzling after Nicole cracked it. Yet, when he saw it, his gaze quickly turned greedy.

"Give it to me!" The man in the face mask roared with his eyes glinting with the desire for power.

Instead, Nicole held out her hand to touch a button on the watch, "If I can crack it with my own hands, it means I can destroy it myself!"

"You dare!" The man in the face mask growled in anger. Then, he saw Nicole motioning to press the button. A cold sweat broke from his forehead.

He had already checked before. Nicole's background was complex; hence the item had fallen into her hands. This is due to her being the most excellent hacker in the world, Lucifer! If she genuinely had been prepared earlier, making the program to destroy the crest would not be impossible. But, then, it would be useless even if they killed Nicole. No one knew where the second crest of the world was located.

"I'm only giving you ten seconds. Let him go!" Nicole gritted her teeth. Blood flowed from her forehead to the corner of her eyes, but her eyes would not blink. She was ready to die at any moment.

"Nicole! I'm not leaving!" Worst case possible, he will die together with Nicole. How could he possibly dump her here all alone?

"Ten, nine, eight!" Nicole was already in a rage. She did not want to give the man in the face mask more time to consider.

"Seven, six, five, four..." Nicole continued to count.

"Enough!" The man in the face mask could not resist any longer. He saw that Nicole's expression was ruthless. He knew she was serious and could only grind his teeth and let go of the leg stomping on Carl.

"Let them go!" He ordered out loud and withdrew his handgun. Since his target from the start was no other than Nicole. When he gets hold of the crest, the whole Spears organization would be worthless to him. By then, he would not let go of every single one of them. Thinking about this, he suppressed his anger.

Carl's two other subordinates that jumped out of the car were also severely injured. Once they were let go, they immediately rushed to Carl screaming, "Boss!"

They wanted to fight back, but they had no weapons on them. So now, they could only look at Nicole in pain and thank her for saving their lives.

"Bring Carl away!" Nicole yelled angrily. Although both have their own concerns, they know Nicole did it to let Carl stay alive. They could not allow her sacrifice to go to waste. Thinking of this, both of them held onto Carl.

Carl finally found his strength and tried to struggle, "You all should let me go! I can't... I can't leave her!"

Nicole stared at Carl. It was the first time she had seen him this hysterical. She understood that feeling. It was the same as when he almost disappeared from her life. That feeling of suffocation... Although she always acted as if nothing had happened, she could not suffer the same pain again.

Staring at Carl, Nicole's gaze hardened, "Carl. This time, I can finally protect you." She smiled as the blood trail left on her face continued to trickle. It hurt Carl's eyes and made his eyes red.

"I don't need your protection... I just wanted you to live! You idiot!" He screamed out.
