As a result, I wondered if there was a limit to what he was capable of doing.
Meanwhile, although Garrett’s men didn’t fear death, they were not willing to lose their lives because of me.
Having heard the threat, Garrett raised his gaze at Nathaniel and fell silent in thought.
After a long while, he regained his senses and sneered, “Looks like I have raised nothing but a worthless dog. Instead of catching prey, you end up biting me instead. Well done, Nathaniel. Well done.”
Just as he spoke, he sprang up from the sofa and glared at Nathaniel face to face. Both of them were within striking distance of each other.
Even though Garrett was shorter than Nathaniel, he made up for it with his commanding presence. At that moment, both of them were standing toe to toe against each other.
“I’m not going to be fooled. After all, you’re not going to die for this woman.” Narrowing his gaze, Garrett’s murderous aura intensified.
Staring right at him, Nathaniel retorted steadily, “Mr. Jensen, why don’t you try me?”
With their eyes locked, the tension in the atmosphere reached a crescendo as an invisible psychological battle began. It felt as if all hell would break loose at any moment.
After a staredown that lasted a minute, Garrett wavered. Raising his hand, he signaled for the guns to be lowered.
He understood how desperate one could be when forced into a corner, let alone the fact that Nathaniel’s methods were never conventional. Therefore, a kamikaze attack by him was entirely possible.
“Do you think you can protect her?” Mr. Jensen scoffed. “The factions in Southeast Asia alone will never let her live!”
