Chapter 1059 nning Their Escape


    After Jerry and Sasha''s departure, the room was only left with three burly men with guns as well as


    Colton and the others.


    Colton sat on the couch with his legs crossed, an air of nonchnce emanating off him, as if he was


    unaware of the situation outside. He lowered his eyes, his long and well-defined fingers gently tapping


    on nothing, as if he was deep in thought.


    After some time, he slowly lifted his head to look at Dominic and said, "Pass me the cup of tea in front


    of you."


    Dominic chuckled as he reached out and handed him the cup while teasing him, "It seems like you''re


    not even willing to take a step yourself, Mr. Gardner."

    "Things sound intense outside. I wonder if the fight will make it inside." Colton furrowed his brow,


    feigning a look of worry.


    "I don''t think so. Don''t we have these three to protect us?" Dominic raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling


    on the three men as the smile on his face slowly grew wider.


    The three men were there to keep an eye on them, but their conversation caught them off guard.


    Dominic jutted out his chin and continued, "Exactly. Why don''t you people go to the entrance to see if


    they''re headed this way? If they''reing toward us, we''d have time to hide ourselves."


    The three men with guns began to hesitate upon hearing Dominic''s remarks.


    Dominic let out a small chuckle as if noticing their apprehension. There was a hint of mirth in his eyes


    as he went on, "What is there to think about? You have guns, and we''repletely helpless. Are you


    afraid we''ll fight back? We''re Jerry''s esteemed guests, you know. If anything happens to us or we lose


    our lives here, A''s reputation will be tarnished."


    Colton looked at him as he leisurely leaned on the couch, reaching out to stop him. "Forget it, Dominic,


    don''t force them. I don''t think they have the nerve to do something like that, anyway. After all, with all


    the chaos outside, it''s still safer to stay indoors. You know humans, we''re all afraid of death, and no


    one is an exception to that rule."


    Colton''s breezy words immediately caused the three men to furrow their brows.


    In the end, one of them stepped forward and said, "I''ll take a look outside. The two of you stay here and


    keep watch."


    The other two nodded in assent. Although they were aware of Dominic and Colton''s identities, they had


    guns with them, so they were far from worried.


    The first man left the room to take a look outside after that. At the same time, Colton and Dominic''s


    gazes shed midair, as if they were scheming something, and before the other two could react, they


    were already sent crashing to the ground.


    As Nicole watched their swift and skilled actions, she finally grasped the intent behind their provoking


    words earlier—they sent one of the guards out as they were afraid that she wouldn''t be able to take


    him on.


    She nced at Colton and chided him with a smile, "Do I look like a damsel in distress to you?"


    Colton wrapped his arms around her, a trace of a smile curling his lips upward as he said nonchntly,


    "I''m not looking down on you, I''m just worried that you''d get hurt. I can''t bear the thought of you getting


    hurt."


    Dominic felt a shiver run down his spine at their conversation. So, he rubbed his arms covered in


    goosebumps and said disdainfully, "Okay, stop flirting and save the talk forter."


    With that, the three made their way toward the exit. As most of the people in the camp were drawn


    toward the gunfire in the distance, there was practically no one else around. Colton easily subdued the


    guard outside and quickly pulled Nicole along as they ran outside.


    Nicole lifted her head and looked at Colton. She was unable to shake off her worries as she asked him


    worriedly, "Aren''t we going to check on Wendy?"


    "I''ve already sent people over to Wendy, and she''s probably been rescued by now. We won''t be able to


    help out even if we join the fray now," Colton exined as he led Nicole out.


    His reason foring to this ce was to use Jerry to confirm Wendy''s location, and she had probably


    already been rescued at this point. Nevertheless, they had to confront Jerry head-on in order to make


    their getaway.
