"It seems you've understood my meaning. Since you understand, there's nothing more to say. Give a message to your boss: if he wants something, he can come forward directly. There's no need for sneaky tactics. I hate people who scheme behind others' backs."
After saying this, Sylvia stood up, but her wrist was grabbed by someone.
"Now that you've figured out what we're up to, do you think I can just let you leave like this?"
Seeing the man's furious expression, Sylvia knew his plan had failed. The consequences of failure were clear to everyone; he couldn't explain to Miles.
But the more he panicked, the calmer Sylvia became.
"Whether you place an order or not is your business. Whether I can leave here is my ability. Why don't you try to see if I can really leave from here?"
After saying this, Sylvia snatched her hand back and gave the man a cold look before leaving. However, her speed couldn't match his. Suddenly, he pulled out a handkerchief from his bag and covered his nose and mouth.
The next moment, Sylvia was stunned. She had been outwitted by this man. She vowed to remember this and return the favor to Miles intact, showing him who to mess with and who not to.
While he was still conscious, Sylvia wanted to call someone nearby, but he quickly lost strength. He couldn't even grab his phone as it fell to the ground. His body felt numb, and he eventually lost consciousness.
After losing consciousness, Sylvia didn't know how long it had been. All he knew was that when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room.
The room had a strong fragrance that made Sylvia feel uncomfortable. He frowned. He had planned to leave, but as soon as he stood up, he felt weak.
He involuntarily fell back, knowing the effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet. What kind of drug was this? It was so effective. But he noticed his phone was still next to him. What was going on? Did that person have a change of heart and leave the phone for him?
But that didn't make sense. Why would that man leave the phone for him? He would surely find a way to take the phone away, or leave it here to give him false hope.
But the fact that the phone was here still gave Sylvia a glimmer of hope. He struggled to pick up his phone, only to find it had no signal. It seemed the man had left a signal blocker as well. Sylvia couldn't send any messages to his people to come and get him.
Sylvia didn't even know where he was, but he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
If he kept waiting passively, he would become a sitting duck.
Taking a deep breath, Sylvia bit his tongue hard to endure the pain. Even though his whole body was numb, he felt a surge of strength. He propped himself up, gasping for breath, and struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall as he walked out step by step. Could he get a signal once he left this room?
