There were already here were guards standing sentry outside the gates. When Nicholas showed up, they said, “Greetings, sir.”
Nicholas ignored them and walked through the gates, but he stepped on a rickety wooden bat. It made him stop, and then he picked it up. He weighed it in his hand, fury flaring in his eyes, and he made his way to the warehouse.
Edward had received news of Nicholas’ arrival and was awaiting him in silence. When Nicholas came in, he approached him. “Mr. Sawyer-”
However, it was like Nicholas couldn’t see him. His gaze of hatred was fixed on the person who almost killed Tessa. Nicholas, like a demon from hell, slowly approached the man who was tied up and lying on the ground, wanting nothing but his life.
Edward was so stunned that he had even forgotten what he wanted to say. The driver was terrified. Every step Nicholas took made his fear mount, and his heart trembled. He knew what was coming when he saw the bat Nicholas was holding. “Don’t come near me!”
Struggle as he might, he couldn’t escape as he was tied up tightly. All he could do was squirm like a maggot.
Edward snapped out of his stupor, and the next second, he heard the screams of the driver echoing through the air. Nicholas was swinging the bat violently and smashing it upon the driver time and time again.
“Please, stop! I can’t take it anymore!” The driver begged for his life, but it was useless. All Nicholas could see was red. The driver almost killed the most important person in his life, and he would pay dearly for it. He swung his bat even harder.
