Chapter 375 Maggie’s Kidnapping
Maggie knew that Nathael harboured lingering resentment over the incident where Timmothy had abducted her right under his nose.
She aimed to afford him a chance to liberate himself from that remorse.
Nathael maintained a stoic silence, his lips pressed together as he pondered the proposition.
In the meantime, Maggie felt unsettled and persisted, “How about giving it a shot? Let’s delve into a cosplay adventure!”
Nathael blinked his deep eyes open and murmured gently, “Your boldness is quite remarkable.”
Perplexed, Maggie inquired, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
His statement left her utterly baffled!
“Nathael!” Maggie suspected a misunderstanding, unaware that within a few days she would find herself tied up by Timmothy.
A subtle grin graced Nathael’s lips, softening his features and instantly dispelling the cold, rendering him strikingly attractive.
Maggie leaned closer and exclaimed, “You smiled! That’s an agreement in my book. No backing out now!”
Noting his unwavering determination, Nathael’s brow creased once again, his voice chilling as he cautioned. These individuals are seasoned international mercenaries, each with a trail of blood behind them. If you end up in their grasp and anything goes wrong….
Unfazed, Maggie fixed her gaze on him, steadfast in her conviction. “Nothing will go awry, Nathael. You must have faith in yourself! You’re the best!”
With no hesitation, Maggie depicted a hopeful future for Nathael, leaving him at a loss for words for quite some time. Even upon reaching the company, he remained subdued.
Nonetheless, Maggie stayed resolute, standing beside him with a smile as she exchanged pleasantries with others.
She held unwavering faith in him, understanding that he esteemed himself even more than her own life.
Should another mishap befall her, it could very well lead to her demise!
After extensive persuasion, Nathael eventually acquiesced with a nod.

Furthermore, he had discreetly stashed a dagger and a small packet of sedatives on her, acquired through means unknown.
Just as Maggie was poised to signal for a cab, a white van suddenly screeched to a halt before her.
Two figures clad in helmets and military boots emerged from the van.
“What are you
Maggie attempted to protest, but before she could react, a cloth saturated with sedatives was pressed against her mouth.
She held her breath, simulating unconsciousness as her body went slack.
Subsequently, she was unceremoniously thrown into the van.
The van had been stripped of several seats. Maggie was flung onto the bare metal floor. The cold surface bit through her clothing, her discomfort escalating with each jolt of the vehicle.
Although she held her breath, she still ingested a fair amount of sedatives, leaving her feeling drowsy and disoriented. Her condition wasn’t great.
However, her acting skills were passable, and coupled with her previous experience, she managed to maintain some semblance of consciousness.
“Search her. See if she has anything on her.”
A foreign man spoke, and shortly after, Maggie could sense someone approaching to search her, taking away her phone and wallet,
As for those two tracking devices, they are the most advanced stealth equipment internationally, and with these mercenaries entering the country, it was difficult to obtain high–end inspection machines. Thus, they went unnoticed.
