Nicole could not help but cough. The warehouse was filled with flammable building materials. Once the window was opened, the fire would spread rapidly, and she would soon be burned alive.
She leaned against the other side of the wall to breathe and keep herself away from the scorching heat.
No matter how hard she held on, it was just getting hotter and hotter.
Nicole felt her head was starting to get dizzy, and the temperature around her was getting warmer like she was in an oven.
Clayton woke up and rubbed his head that hurt like hell, only to find himself lying in an unfamiliar place.
His surroundings looked like a hotel. He was not far from the hotel where he and Nicole were staying.
'How did I end up here?’ Clayton thought.
His brain spun, and he suddenly thought of the sneaky man that he went after. As soon as he saw the man, another man sprang out of nowhere and violently struck him.
That man was extremely fast and had received professional training.
Clayton did not even have the opportunity to react and fell unconscious.
He came to his senses, jerked out of bed, went out the door, and saw an unexpected person.
Autumn got up from her seat and walked over joyfully. The concern in her eyes was unconcealed. "Mr. Sloan, you’re awake. Are you hungry? I asked them to prepare something. Why don't you eat a little first?"
Clayton looked at the majestic and authoritative man sitting there, Quavon Sloan.
'How did Quavon, who should've been in Liberty, get here? Surprisingly, I didn't even receive any news of this?’ Clayton thought.
Clayton suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
He pushed Autumn, who had come up to him, away, and his tone was bitter.
"Did you do this?"
Clayton looked at Autumn and Quavon. When he thought about the problem in this Sand City project, it was not difficult to imagine who was behind it.
He was really so careless that he had forgotten about the most dangerous person.
Nicole was still in danger and clueless about this.
Quavon looked intimidating, and the gloominess on his face was undisguised.
