Chapter 654
“Shut up!” Scarlett glared at Miranda. “My life belongs to Sawyer. I live only to serve him!” “You’re insane!” Miranda continued. “He’s a fugitive now, and you’re just a loyal dog!”
“Stuff her mouth!” Scarlett ordered immediately.
Someone grabbed a dirty, foul-smelling rag and shoved it into Miranda’s mouth.
“Mmmph…” Miranda gagged at the stench, feeling like she might vomit, but she could not break free.
Scarlett looked at Nina, who met her gaze and saw a message in her eyes.
Scarlett was not planning to help Sawyer this time. She intended to help Nina.
Nina furrowed her brows and shook her head vigorously.
Scarlett gave a reassuring smile, trying to put her at ease.
Nina’s heart was uneasy. She knew Scarlett wanted to get the antidote for her. Just like she had promised that day. But would the antidote be with Sawyer? Nina did not want Scarlett to take such a risk and she grabbed Scarlett’s arm but Scarlett pulled away.
Outside, gunfire and explosions erupted, mingled with screams.
Nina had never heard such chaos before. She felt extremely uneasy, her face pale, as she watched Sawyer and his men retreat inside.
“Father, I’ve tied them up,” Scarlett said.
Nina and Miranda were each tied to separate pillars in the hall.
“Hahahaha…” Sawyer laughed, accepting his fate. “I never thought I’d see this day.”
He sat leisurely in a chair in the hall, sipping tea, waiting for them to come in.
Within five minutes, they heard the sound of footsteps.
A group of people entered, all carrying guns aimed at the inside. Sawyer’s men also pointed their guns at the intruders.
Sawyer remained unbothered. He had leverage and intended to make them pay.
Nina, smelling the strong scent of blood and seeing all the guns, felt nauseous and terrified. She scanned the room, searching. The special forces had almost all entered.
She finally saw James and Felix, both dressed in camouflage, faces painted, and guns raised. Then Nash entered.
He, too, was in camouflage, looking completely different from his usual suit-wearing self.
As he entered, Miranda struggled excitedly, but no sound came from her gagged mouth.
Nina just watched Nash.
Sawyer said, “Captain York, we meet again. Last time, that bullet didn’t kill you. It seems the heavens want you to live a little longer.”
Nash’s eyes were cold as he looked at him. “So much talking? Why not just surrender?”
Sawyer continued to laugh, standing behind Nina and Miranda. “Surrender? Why would I surrender? Are you here to take them both with you?”
Nash’s eyes remained emotionless. “What do you want?”
Sawyer held up a syringe with a blue liquid, smiling coldly. “I want to know which of these two women is most important to you. You can only take one. Who will it be?” Miranda turned her head to look at the syringe in Sawyer’s hand, struggling more fiercely, her eyes filled with terror.
She knew that being injected with that was worse than death. It was a poison developed by Pharaoh, and his toxins were a fate worse than death.
“Only one?” Nash asked calmly.
“Take one, and the other stays to die with me,” Sawyer replied.
“Mmmph… Mmmph…” Miranda made muffled cries, desperately wanting Nash to take her.
