He pressed his foot down hard on Corys back, pinning him to the muddy ground.
With one hand pressing the gun against his head, he used the other to dial Lucindas number.
Sorry, the number you called is not reachable at the moment..
The call didnt go through.
Despite the phone showing full signal, he couldnt reach Lucinda.
As long as Lucinda remained in the lab, no problems should arise.
Noticing Nathans expression slowly changing, Cory continued, Dont fool yourself.
Do you truly believe the labs security is infallible? To be honest, I planted an agent in the lab a long time ago. Now, I control all the equipment, including access to your wife and children.
Do you still dare to kill me? Cory continued to laugh heartily, while Nathan remained focused on his phone call.
Nathan dialed Lucindas number repeatedly, but each call went unanswered.
The fear that she and the children might actually be in Corys hands gnawed at him.
Nathan pocketed his phone, trained the gun on Cory, and demanded, What is it you want? Release my men and come with me.
By now, Lonnie had resolved the situation in Hildas house and arrived with a group of men through the pouring rain.
Upon hearing Corys words, Lonnie swiftly interjected, Sir, dont! Cory was cunning and unpredictable, his mind racing with schemes no one could foresee.
However, Cory remained unfazed, smiling calmly as he replied, You can ponder that for yourself.
Despite being in the mud, he held the chips in his hand, exuding an air of control over everything.
After a tense moment, Nathans expression hardened as he holstered his gun and issued a direct order to Lonnie.
Secure Hildas safety and release his men.
Hold position in the mountains, no further actions.
Lonnie was taken aback.
Sir! Do as Ive instructed.
Nathans reprimand was stern, his deep eyes inscrutable and his breath icy, leaving Lonnie uncertain of his intentions. Complying with the order was paramount; Lonnie had no choice but to release the captives he had secured.
With his mens help, Cory rose to his feet and requested, Prepare a car for me.
Ask your men not to follow.
Get him a car.
Lonnie stood in stunned silence.
Reluctant as he was, Lonnie dared not disobey Nathans command.
He could only watch helplessly as Corys men bound Nathans hands and spirited him away into the rainy night.
The armored car sped through the slippery mountain paths, sending water spraying in all directions.
