Chapter 279: Chapter 279

“Why should I trust you?”

“You can just forget about it if you don’t trust me,” Silvia responded indifferently.

Leroy panicked. All he wanted was to receive money from Dulcie, not risk his life.

Neil’s gaze remained cold. “There are only twenty minutes left until the bomb goes off. It’ll be too late even if the bomb squad arrives now.”

“What should I do? Am I really going to die here today?”

Hatred flashed in Leroy’s eyes as he coldly added, “If I have to die, I’ll drag you along with me!”

Silvia lowered her gaze. After a moment of contemplation, she said, “I know how to defuse bombs.”

Skepticism clouded Leroy’s eyes. “How do I know that you’re not trying to kill me?”

She rolled her eyes. With his IQ, it was no surprise that his company went bankrupt.

“I’ll be beside you when I defuse the bomb, okay? If the bomb explodes, I’ll die with you.”

Leroy gulped and said nothing.

Silvia ran out of patience and bluntly said, “Just tell me if you want to defuse it. If you don’t want to, everyone will die once we run out of time.”

“Alright, you can defuse it.”

As soon as Leroy finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.

“Let me help you, Silvia.”

She frowned and turned to Neil impatiently, “No. You’ll cause me trouble.”

It was a dangerous task to defuse bombs. If anything went wrong, the bomb would go off immediately. Silvia did not mind putting herself in danger, but she did not want to involve Neil.

He remained silent and walked to her side.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you no matter what.”

Silvia looked at him coldly. “I don’t need your company. Leave!”

“I know a little about defusing bombs. I can help.”

“No, thanks. I can do it alone.”

“Silvia, there are only seventeen minutes left on the countdown. Are you sure you want to waste time telling me to leave?”

She fell silent for a few seconds and spoke through gritted teeth, “Fine. You brought this on yourself, so face the consequences.”

She then asked someone to bring her a pair of scissors. Soon after, everyone except Leroy, her, and Neil left. The entire lobby fell into silence. The only audible sound was the countdown of the bomb.

Leroy’s knees had gone weak due to his fear. When he saw how serious Silvia and Neil were, he finally accepted the reality that the bomb was indeed real.

Each ticking of the clock pushed him toward the edge.

As time passed, beads of sweat formed on Silvia’s forehead.

The bomb’s construction was not complicated, but finding the right wire to cut was extremely difficult because all the wires were of the same color.

Silvia had ruled out a few wires, but there were still two left, and there was no time to rule out one more.

Leroy trembled with fear when he noticed that she was not moving.

“Can you do it or not?”

“Shut up!”

Silvia took a deep breath. Then, she turned to Neil and said, “Stay away from me. I’m going to cut the wire.”

Noting the uncertainty in her eyes, Neil nodded solemnly. “Okay.”

Once he was about ten meters away, she finally decided to try her luck.

With a snip, she cut one of the wires.
