“Stop!” Sheena commanded, approaching Nathanted again. “Speak. What’s the method?”
The bodyguard immediately released Nathanted, stepping back two paces,
“Do you really want to know?” He licked his lips, smirking wickedly, “I can tell you, but the conditions remain the same. Just nod, and Elliot’s illness can be cured.”
Sheena frowned, teeth clenched. “Nathaniel, you’re truly shameless.”
“Don’t flatter me, Nana. Think carefully about the conditions. Besides, I’m not inferior to Elliot. If you’re with me, I’ll make you the happiest woman on earth.”
Sheena laughed. “He’s currently the richest person in Svelton, the CPO of the Jenkins Group, the head of the Jenkins family, and the head of the National Investigation Bureau. Besides having more power and influence than you, he’s more handsome, and his physique is better. And you? You’re just a convicted felon, a prisoner. How can you compare to him?”
Nathaniel’s face slightly changed. The gap between him and Elliot was indeed considerable at the moment, but it might not stay that way for long.
Moreover…

This statement angered Sheena, She grabbed the gun holstered on the bodyguard’s waist, pressing the cold barrel against Nathaniel’s forehead.
“I’ll never agree to your conditions. If you don’t speak, I’ll end you right now!”
Nathaniel was not afraid at all. His once handsface now looked rough and weathered.
“Nana, be careful. Accidents happen with guns. After all, if I die, Elliot is as good as dead. You can’t possibly kill me, I’m well aware of that. There’s no point in using such methods to scare me.” Nathaniel currently held absolute control. Yet, Sheena did not retract the gun, only sneering.
“Nathaniel, you aren’t qualified to negotiate conditions with me. If you don’t speak, I’ll have someone pour this medicine down your throat immediately. The taste of living hell should be terrifying. Care to try?”
Nathaniel laughed even more recidessly.
“You won’t use this medicine onbecause if I really can’t take it and choose to end my life, the method to save Elliot will be buried with me. You’ll spend your whole life not knowing, only able to watch him die. That should be even more unbearable, right?”
This time, Nathaniel targeted the issue Sheena cared about the most.
Sheena’s nails dug fiercely into her palm, her hand trending tightly as if this was the only way to

bring out her rationality.
“Why should I believe you? Perhaps you don’t even know how to cure the $4,04, virus and are just trying to deceive me, seizing the opportunity to survive.”

Nathaniel proposed a compromise, “How about this? You find a way to have Corey bailout and restore my freedom. In exchange, I’ll tell you the method to case Elliot’s current condition. See if I’m
lying, then consider whether to agree to my other two conditions.”
“Deal!” Sheena returned the gun to the bodyguard and continued, “However, I need to plan the bail carefully. Asking Corey for help twice in a short period might raise suspicions. I’ll figure out an excuse.
Nathaniel shrugged indifferently. “Sure. I’ll tell you on the day I’m released from prison. Unlike someone, my body is fine, so I have plenty of time.”
He subtly hinted at Elliot’s condition again.
Sheena was reluctant to send him back to prison in such good shape.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe took a deep breath, offering a sorry smile as she looked at Nathaniel again.
“Oh, one more thing. I asked Corey to get you out, claiming I wanted to beat you up for venting. If we don’t make it realistic, I’ll have a hard texplaining it to Corey. I’m sorry, but I have to make it
seem that way.”
Nathaniel’s smile faded instantly.
Sheena pretended not to notice and glanced at the nearby bodyguards. “Give him a good beating and then take him back.”
“Understood.”
After giving the order, Sheena turned and walked away. Soon, the sounds of punches and kicks
echoed behind her.
Nathaniel’s mouth was sealed again, occasionally letting out muffled groans of pain.
The sound of the beating improved Sheena’s mood. However, she did not go far, leaning against the wall near the door, quietly listening and waiting.
After half an hour of brutal beating, Nathaniel was knocked unconscious.
He was bruised, battered, and covered in blood, but none of the harm he suffered was fatal. Nonetheless, he did have a broken rib.
The bodyguard covered his head with a piece of black cloth once more, then carried him out and handed him over to the waiting personnel.
Sheena never moved during the whole ordeal.
