Shadow 1’s threat meant nothing to the man. He regarded it as a pointless struggle, so he replied coldly, “I reckon with you in my hands, the bombs will not detonate.”
“B*stard!” she yelled out in anger. Thereafter, she opened her mouth and bit him hard on his arm, leaving a visible bite mark on it.
“Darn it!”
Prime Minister Welch narrowed his eyes in pain and quickly flung his hand away.
As soon as she was released from his grip, she directed her gaze onto the monitor. However, as she lifted her gaze, all she could see was a darkened screen in front of her.
Is this a signal problem or did Corey just switch off his monitor?
At this moment, it did not cross her mind to contemplate this any further. She looked at Prime Minister Welch, who had his whole weight atop of her, and coolly informed him, “If you don’t let go of me right now, the two of us will not get out of here alive.”
Prime Minister Welch smirked as soon as he heard this, for he assumed she was lying to him again. And so, he had an expression of nonchalance as he spoke. “I never expected to walk out of here alive. As for you, you don’t even have any family members or loved ones. Therefore, there’s no one who will miss you if you’re gone. Am I right?”
His current expression was one full of aggression and his eyes were icy-cold without a hint of warmth at all. From his eyes, she could tell that he had lost all hope of living, and that he meant every word he said.
At this point, she started to panic.
I want to get out of here alive! I can’t die here. Absolutely not! I’ve got loved ones waiting for me back home.
“Take a guess…” Prime Minister Welch caught her look and he noticed her anxiety, hence he added fuel to the fire. “Let’s take a guess as to when the bombs will go off! While we’re at it, let’s guess when the neurotoxin will get released too! You should have a better idea since you’re from around here, right?”
“You’re a lunatic!” Shadow 1 practically screamed out these words.
He’s not afraid of dying at all. Has he really made up his mind for us to perish in here together?
At the same time, on the other side of the screen was Corey. As soon as he saw Prime Minister Welch grab hold of J’Adore, he switched off his monitor immediately.
I don’t hate J’Adore to the extent that I want to see her being blown up in front of me. The main point is, I don’t want her to know that I’m not going to rescue her. As a matter of fact, I was just taking advantage of her from the start.
As for J’Adore, from today onward, she would cease to exist in this world.
“Mr. President, don’t you find it quite a shame that Miss J’Adore sacrificed her life like this?” one of the guards dressed in a black suit couldn’t help himself from commenting.
After all, MX and the President’s Office had always maintained a friendly relationship before this.
Corey gave a light laugh as he replied without a care, “What’s there to be sad about? Once she’s dead, I’ll finally be in full control of Markovia.”
When the time comes, I’ll finally be the ruler of Markovia. My well-executed plan had just killed two birds with one stone. It was fascinating to watch it play out.
Meanwhile in Ebony Town, Shadow 1 was crushed under Prime Minister Welch’s weight and she could barely move.
His eyes were bloodshot. No matter what she said, he stubbornly refused to let go of his grip on her.
He must be insane! This lunatic has given up on his life but I’m not ready to die yet.
As Shadow 1 lay on the ground, she attempted to break free of his hold on her. Suddenly, she glimpsed a little flashing red light on the ceiling. There were multiple of them, forming a single line.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Although it was barely audible, there was a slight beeping sound that accompanied the flashing red lights.
Both her eyes widened in fear as she realized it was a bomb. It was a tiny bomb; the size was only about the size of a finger and the tip of it flashed red. Despite its size, the magnitude of it’s explosion was comparable to a normal bomb.
D*mn it! Corey must be insane. Not only is there gunpowder buried underground, there are also bombs on the ceiling! Does he hate Prime Minister Welch that much?
Shadow 1 was completely overpowered by Prime Minister Welch and she no longer had any energy left to resist him. As such, she said, “If you don’t let go of me, I can assure you that we’ll both be blown to smithereens within ten minutes.”
Prime Minister Welch was stunned for a couple of seconds before he chuckled coldly. “How dare you trick me again? Are you planning to run away from me?”
He had been fooled by her the last time. Therefore, he was not going to give her another chance to trick him.
“I’m telling the truth! The bombs placed above have started beeping. Those are finger-sized bombs that may look tiny but the magnitude of the explosion is huge. Well, at the very least, it would easily blow us into smithereens.”
