Chapter 261


    Chapter 261


    When they witnessed their master being assaulted, Ss’ bodyguards hurriedly rushed forward and


    wanted to surround Nichs, but were kicked over by the bodyguards from the Sawyer Family.


    All of a sudden, the situation was reversed where the men working for the Reinharts were eitherying


    on the floor or kneeling as they cried out in pain.


    With a face as solemn as the grim reaper, Nichs paced to Ss. “Where’s Henry


    Tompkins?”


    Even if Ss was an idiot, he could now tell that Tessa didn’t have a fall out with Nichs. Furthermore,


    Nichs even came over specially to help her.


    Threatening Tessa was a child’s y to him, but in front of Nichs, he didn’t dare to throw his weight


    around as he did not dare say a word.


    To Ss, Nichs was simply too terrifying and he wouldn’t mind giving up on the USB sh drive if it


    meant that his life could be saved. Even if hispany went bust, so be it.


    However, it was clear that Nichs didn’t want him to have an easy way out. When Ss didn’t answer


    him, he peered at him from above. “Where is he?”


    Whether it was from the pain or from the fright, Ss couldn’t be sure, but his back was instantly


    soaked in perspiration. His face was also covered in ayer of cold sweat as he had been fished out of


    the waters.

    Striking back would only mean his own death, and he lost all guts as he hurriedly ordered his injured


    bodyguard, “T-Take that brat, no. Bring Mr. Tompkins out. Quickly.”


    After receiving the order, the bodyguard quickly scrambled off to release Henry. Besides Ss, all the


    other bodyguards were motionless and remained as quiet as mannequins. None of them even dared to


    help Ss to his feet either while the noisy Amber didn’t dare to make a scene.


    Soon, that bodyguard returned from the dark room with Henry while shouting, “We’re back. I’ve brought


    him here!”


    At the sight of Henry, Ss felt spiteful and relieved at the same time; spiteful because after going


    through so much hassle, the hostage he had finally abducted was


    released just like that. At most, he had given that brat Timothy a beating, but he also had a taste of his


    own medicine because that earlier kick from Nichs had almost sent him on his way.


    However, Ss was relieved that he didn’t take it out on Henry after bringing him back; otherwise, he


    reckoned that his ending would be even worse than now.


    After his release, Henry was still a little lost, thinking that Timothy had really handed over the software


    in exchange for his safe release. Hence, when he saw Timothy, he yelled, “Tim, don’t give it to him! I’m


    fine!”


    Seeing that Henry didn’t sustain any more injuries and was merely locked away without being deeply


    hurt, Timothy breathed a sigh of relief. “I didn’t give it to him. Don’t worry,” he assured with a chuckle.


    It was only then that Henry took a good look around and saw an expressionless Nichs, after which


    he whispered to Timothy in surprise, “Isn’t President Sawyer… Why is he here?”


    “We have misunderstood him. He’s innocent and I could only save you without a


    glitch because he came to help us out this time. Or else, I think I’ll really need to use the USB sh


    drive in exchange for your life,” Timothy said, grinning.


    Still shocked, Henry said, “Okay, that’s good. That’s our blood and sweat, and we can’t give it away no


    matter what, not even if it’s in exchange for me.” Then, he turned to Nichs. “Thanks for your help,


    President Sawyer.”


    In reply, Nichs nodded slightly in acknowledgement.


    “P-President Sawyer, I have already handed him over and didn’t harm him further. Will you let me go?”


    Ss asked, looking at him pleadingly.


    Henry spat and looked at Ss, who was still on the floor, with contempt. “You have no shame at all.


    Earlier, you were not like this when you came to ourpany to rob. us. Where’s your swagger from


    before?”


    “You!” Humiliated publicly, Ss was a little embarrassed and wanted to curse him, but when he spun


    his head and saw Nichs’ face, he suddenly lost his voice.


    For some unknown reason, he felt that it would be even more shameful if he started cursing in front of


    Nichs.


    This was the attitude of a true elite; even without cursing, he was able to instill fear by just standing.


    Ignoring what Ss was thinking in his head, Timothy stepped forward. “I’m warning you for thest


    time. Don’t disturb our lives again.”
