Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1020 Let Them Go

Sasha clenched her fists as she thought Adam was right. Now that Alvin was dead, there would be no one left to avenge him if she also died! She bit her lips so hard that she felt the pain before reminding herself to stop. Then, she obediently went over to Adam's side and lowered her head, keeping quiet.

Watching her behavior, Adam was relieved that she was not incorrigibly foolish. He returned to his overbearing attitude and narrowed his eyes, taunting, "The fact that I came all the way here shows I'm fully prepared for any situation. I know you've set up an ambush at the hospital, but I've dispatched the strongest members from Undercity there. So, how likely do you think you'll win if they start a fight?" Those words caused Colton's expression to turn grim, and his body exuded an angered aura. He's using Nicole to threaten me!

He stared at Adam with his cold eyes as a bloodthirsty smile appeared. "Are you threatening me?"

As someone who had long been involved in such matters, Adam remained unfazed after detecting the anger surrounding Colton. "I'm not threatening you. It's just a simple negotiation. My men wouldn't do anything if you let us return home safely."

By then, Colton's hands were slowly clenching into fists. Nicole was not the only one at the hospital because his mother was there as well! Since he had speculated someone might try something at the hospital, he had arranged for people to guard the hospital. However, if Adam was telling the truth, and all the strongest members of Undercity were there...

I can't risk Nicole's safety.

"Why should I believe you?" Colton asked in a deep voice.

Knowing he had the upper hand, Adam smiled. "Since you're also involved in this ring, you should know the most important thing in our line of business is credibility. Once we lose it, we become worthless." That was the truth. When doing tasks that involved another's life, the most important thing for them was to keep their word.

With cold eyes, Colton stared fixedly at Adam for a long while before ordering coldly, "Let them go."

Meanwhile, Roger was getting anxious as he frowned, feeling unsatisfied. "Pretty boy, are you serious?" It took him so much effort to capture these people. Also, one of his subordinates nearly died in the process and was lying in the ICU, fighting for his life.

"Let them go!" Colton emphasized.

Upon that order, the people surrounding Adam slowly dispersed, opening a path for him. Smiling, he turned to look at Colton and mumbled, "Mr. Gardner, till we meet again."

Colton glanced at him and snorted. "You'd better keep your word. Or else, I'll turn the Undercity's base upside down."

Adam remained unperturbed. "Of course. I wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke everyone." After saying that, he led his group of men away.

Roger waited until they disappeared before complaining, "Just like that? Really?"

Colton's eyes darkened as he turned around and questioned, "What else can I do? Put Nicole's life on the line?"

Hearing that, Roger fell silent. Although he had arranged for his men to guard the hospital, he would not know what might happen if a fight broke out. As Colton said, he could not put Nicole's life on the line. "F*ck! Those b*stards are lucky this time, but Boss' incident is still not over. From today onward, Lome and Undercity are sworn enemies!" Roger declared grimly.

It was the first time he was so furious. After all, the members of Lome had no entanglements, and this was the first time he felt threatened.
