Chapter 518 Being Brought Over
As Nicole listened to his words, her heart warmed. Then, she nodded and hugged him as they rolled on the bed. The following day, Nicole woke up early because of this matter.
Things were done efficiently when the Gardners stepped in. By the time Nicole woke up, Colton told her that the man had been found and the bodyguards had taken him over.
The man had lived miserably for the past few days as he had been hiding from them. He looked like a mess with his blank eyes and disheveled look.
On this day, Colton wore a black suit and shiny leather shoes. When he walked, one could hear the clicking sounds it made.
As the man was being held down by the bodyguards, unable to move an inch, Colton took a seat on the sofa. He then looked at the man with disdain without saying anything.
When Nicole arrived, she saw Colton sitting on the sofa while staring at the man. She didn’t say anything and just stood behind him.
Even though the man was being held down, he could still turn his neck. With that, he struggled to raise his head and was shocked when he saw Colton.
After looking at him for some time, Colton asked, “Tell me. Why did you do such a thing?”
When faced with Colton’s calm tone, the man was nervous. However, he gulped hard and suppressed the nervousness in him. “W-What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” he stammered.
Listening to his words, Colton chuckled and looked at the man while smiling. Then, he deepened his voice and said slowly, “If you don’t know anything, I guess you are useless to me.” After saying that, he looked troubled as he propped his head with his hand. He closed his eyes and continued, “Fine. Take him away from here since he is useless now. Remember to throw him in the ocean when it’s dark. Chain him up, or else he won’t sink.”
The man felt shivers run down his spine when he heard Colton’s words. He raised his head in shock and looked at him. “This is a lawful society. How can you do this? Killing is illegal!” he said hastily.
“Illegal?” Colton stood up and looked at him with disdain. Then, he took two steps forward. “Do you think I care if it’s legal to not? Moreover, who do you think will go against me?” he said mockingly.
When the man heard his words, he broke out in a cold sweat since what Colton said was true. In this country, the Gardner Family had the most authority. Compared to them, he was nothing, and the Gardners could have killed him without anyone knowing.
While the man was in thought, Colton averted his gaze and turned around. “Take him away,” he said.
Just as the bodyguards were about to drag the man out, the man quickly yelled, “I’ll say it. I’ll tell you everything!”
Only then did Colton raise his hands and signaled the bodyguards to stop, to which they obliged.
Then, the man kneeled on the ground while trembling in fear. “My sister was diagnosed with cancer when she was eighteen, and our family spent a massive amount of money to treat her.
During that time, our father died from overworking. We were in debt because all the money was spent on her treatment. Because of this, I did not marry as well.”
He continued, “After that, a man appeared and told me to let her volunteer for the vaccine’s clinical trials, saying I would get a huge amount of money.
When my sister died, the man told me he would give me a huge amount of money to get out of here if I could make a stir at the conference. I was tempted when he told me about this.
After all, I was in poverty for so many years and had been burdened by my sister. It would only be fair if I could make money from her death. Thus, I agreed to it. After I did what the man told me, I hid and waited for his money. However, you ended up bringing me over here.”
