Chapter 758
The masked man found his goons from way out of town, and no one in Cloud City knew a thing about them because
they had no criminal record there.
That being said, they had done more than their fair share elsewhere and were good enough to not get captured
despite all that.
'Oh, what could possibly happen?" The goons' leader-the lanky man with a scarred face.thought nothing of it. "No
one would shout it to the world, and that woman's not going to call the cops-" 'What would you know?!" The masked
man became furious. "It's a fluke that you actually managed to escape. Your opponent is as ruthless, and you'll all
die horribly if you're careless! Watch yourself if you don't want to be that caught, because I'm not kidding here!"
The lanky man asked worriedly, "Is it really that serious?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe masked man wheeled on him with an icy glare. "There's seven of you against one of theirs, but each of you
ended up bruised and battered. Are you really still going to make light of them?’
The lanky man had no comeback against that-they certainly must admit that even the chauffeur alone was
formidable.
’He's a professional bodyguard. His ability is expected." ’Since you understand that, you'd better not underestimate
them," the man warned. ’Don't leave this place. There's tv and wi-fi, so pass the time however you want. I'll come
to get you when it's safe." "Yes, but how long do we have to wait?" the lanky man asked.
"I can't give you anything specific. What's wrong with staying here? You have everything you need here, and your
safety takes priority." "Fair enough."
They must listen to the masked man to be safe.
After all, they were already paid, but their employer had enough sense of responsibility and consideration for their
sake, so they should accept his kindness.
For the masked man's part, he just did not want anything that could lead back to him.
He knew Isaac’s methods, and that he would make these goons talk.
Even if he left no clues, hiding was the best thing to do, just to be safe-at least until this blows over.
Erin was dispirited—Irene’s words inadvertently left her emotionally distressed.
As she spaced out, a worried Irene gave her a sedative!
Once she slept, Irene left the room and called James, who quickly answered.
"You should come over." "Okay."
Soon, James was striding toward her and he asked immediately about Erin.
’She's not feeling well. I gave her a sedative so that she can rest," Irene admitted.
James nodded, while Irene hesitated for a moment before saying, "She says she wants to go back to Minerva."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames said nothing, but sat down on a bench at the walkway, grabbing his own hair.
He must be feeling no better than Erin since they were just discussing marriage.
And now...
'What she went through might be worse than you think. Even so, can you accept her?" Irene asked.
James looked up right then with a piercing gaze at her.
Irnee did not hide from his gaze, but held his gaze. "If you can't, you should let her leave for a change of pace as
she wishes."
James's eyes turned red.
Irene leaned against the wall then. "I'm sorry, James. I won't ask for your forgiveness-l'll bear this guilt for the rest
of my life. You must hate me a lot, right?" ’I hate the men who hurt her more," James growled bitterly. "We're not
that in love, and it's just because we did it that one time. I don't think we'd be together if she hadn't selflessly ran to
her to care for me while I'm in a coma. Hell, I think she liked me more only because we spent time together, and I
was only staying with her because I was grateful for what she did. But it turns out that I'm happy being with her,
and what happened to her... broke me."
