It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 430

Luke sped toward the countryside where they locked up Paul Du. His face was cold and aloof, eyes fixed on the road ahead. No one could see through his poker face.

This was the first time he'd been unable to protect Edward, and now his boss was badly injured. He felt both concerned and frustrated. He blamed no one for it but himself, his own carelessness.

He had thought that these few days would be peaceful, so he hadn't taken precautions. Yet, things happened. He made the most foolish mistake as a bodyguard -- being careless.

"Boss! You're here! How's Mr. Mu?" An underling came forward and greeted him just when he stopped his car.

"He's alright. Has the guy confessed?" Luke asked, his tone cool but also a bit mad. He was angry that his people hadn't arrived at the scene in time last night.

"No, he's still in a coma. We don't know whether he's really unconscious or just faking it." The man answered timidly while keeping an eye on Luke's expression. He was trying to suss out Luke's mood right now. Was Luke sullen or about to hit the ceiling? He could only tell that Luke was definitely not in a good mood.

"Have you ever thought of waking him up?" Luke stopped, turned around and cast a cold look.

"Well... We thought you want to interrogate him yourself," The man replied inconsistently. Luke's eyes were so intimidating that he even lost the ability of talking smoothly.

"What? Is this your first day or...I don't know. You can't even handle such a minor thing?" Luke said. His eyes grew even colder. He stared at the underling as if he would blow off his steam at any minute.

"Sorry, boss. We'll do better next time." The underling bowed his head, afraid of meeting Luke's cold eyes.

Luke frowned and felt quite enraged. Maybe he should have given them more discipline and training. They couldn't do anything right. He hadn't punished them for arriving late last night, and now they left him another new problem. Was there a negligence in the hiring process?

"Where is he? Take me to him." He had to get everything he needed from Paul's mouth. Edward had given the order. And he wanted to get the job done before Edward woke up, so he must do it quickly.

"He's in the basement. Are you going to question him right now?" Luke didn't answer, but walked towards the basement. Maybe it was Edward's injury that made Luke colder than usual.

The underling didn't dare to fall behind, so he mustered his courage and did his best to keep up with his boss.

"Boss." The two guards quit chit-chatting and stood up immediately at the sight of Luke. They got nervous when they sensed his somber mood. Their hearts sank, not knowing what might happen.

"Wake him. If he's still in a coma, just ditch him in the crocodile pool. We'll chalk it up to you win some, you lose some." Luke ordered after seeing Paul on the ground. If he was faking, they'd soon know. He wondered if Paul would continue to fake unconsciousness after hearing what he said.

"Yes, boss." The guards around took action right away. They fetched a barrel of water and poured it on Paul.

The sudden cold water made Paul shiver, which gave away the fact that he was awake.

"Quit faking. Just tell me. I don't have much time to waste on you," Luke said, and sat down on the bench. He looked at him playfully while crossing his legs domineeringly.

"What do you want to know? You have to tell me that at least." Paul asked. He had planned to ignore Luke's questions, but the threat of being fed to the crocodiles made him change his mind.

"Don't even try to play tricks on me. You are not ready for the consequences." Luke cast him a disdainful look, then shook his legs leisurely as if he wasn't affected by Paul's denial, not at all.

"I know nothing. What do you want from me?" As much as Paul dreaded being thrown into crocodiles, he was more aware of the explosive consequences of telling the truth. So he planned to stall as long as he could.

"Laong, cut his hand off. The crocs are hungry," Luke turned to a subordinate and ordered. It looked like that the man would not tell the truth until he was taught a lesson.
