Chapter 963:

? ? ? ? ?

Seeing her collapse, Mitchel didn't feel even an ounce of sympathy. Katie's reputation for cunning was well established. Even behind bars, he would find a way to escape and clear his name.

Letting Lorenzo take care of Katie was exactly the outcome Mitchel had intended. He recoiled in disgust from the hand Katie held out to him, saying, "Enjoy the fruits of your own actions, Katie."

At the door, he turned to look at Katie, sincerity in his eyes.

"I honestly hope you're smarter than Lorenzo."

Surviving Lorenzo meant facing the vengeance of his entire clan, a fate few could endure. But in Mitchel's eyes, it was the punishment Katie deserved!

Once the door closed behind him, Katie's desperate screams echoed through the silence. The unknown horrors that awaited her filled her with dread.

Fear coiled around him like snakes squeezing his bones. «Mitchel, I hate you. I hate you... I wish you and that woman a miserable death..." His poisonous curse filled the room, echoing with malice.

However, Mitchel showed no reaction. He was determined to stop Katie from causing any more harm. Not in this life.

Collapsed to the ground, her screams fading, Katie suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Raising his head, he saw Lorenzo's deceptively kind and erudite face approaching. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a cold flash of light cut through the air.

"Scissors!"

With scissors poised over the detonator wire, Raegan didn't hesitate to cut the yellow wire.

"Scissors". The sound resonated loudly, and she instinctively closed her eyes, her heart pounding.

The fear was real, but fortunately there was no explosion. He had achieved it.

Raegan felt a wave of relief and almost rejoiced, but the situation called for concentration, not celebration.

He quickly picked up his toolbox, slung it over his shoulder, and hurried to the next blast point.

Having learned from her first attempt, Raegan approached the second artifact with more confidence. He grabbed the scissors and cut the cable without thinking twice.

Instead of a “snip,” a loud “pop” sounded.

“Clack!” The scissors fell to the ground. Raegan instinctively ducked and covered her head, preparing for an explosion.

However, the catastrophic explosion he expected did not occur.

Just as Raegan was about to look up, she felt the cold metal of a gun barrel pressing against her temple. She was paralyzed.

A man in black looked at her sternly. "You're the woman the boss is looking for!"

Raegan's heart sank. The "boss" he was referring to must have been Lorenzo.

The man glanced at the explosive, cursing under his breath, "Shit!"

The detonator cable had been cut!

He turned to Raegan with a mix of anger and disbelief. "Did you cut this?"
