Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058 Engaging in Combat

It was not bad, considering that he knew that they would try to take it by force.

Colton lifted his eyes and glanced at Sasha before looking around at the people around them. Since they were currently in Jerry's base, there was quite a large number of people present, and he roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred of them there.

"I have twenty men with me plus the people outside this base. If you think that we can put up a fight against all of your men based on our merger numbers, you can choose not to believe me."

Jerry reached out and extended a hand, stopping Sasha. He was quite confident in his men; they were all well-trained, and he didn't believe for a moment that Colton could defeat a hundred of his men with only twenty people, especially considering that his men were all armed. If a fight actually broke out, Colton would be on the losing end.

At that thought, Jerry pointed to one of the men and ordered, "Go and bring them over."

The man he pointed out bobbed his head before running outside in the direction where Beryl had said that Wendy was most likely being locked up.

They began to wait for some time when a gunshot abruptly sounded from afar, causing them to immediately tighten their guard.

Jerry whipped around to look at Colton and demanded, "You called your men over?"

However, Colton only shrugged with an innocent expression. "Someone probably has a grudge against you. You should know whoever that person is. So, how could you push all the blame on me?"

When Jerry stared at him disbelievingly, Colton remained unfazed, saying with a smile, "Ever since I left the plane, you've already sent your men to keep an eye on me, and you know everything I've ever since I've arrived. I only have around twenty men who are all waiting outside, so it has to be one of your enemies knocking at your door."

Jerry furrowed his brow. Colton had a point; he had sent his men to tail and observe Colton. That was why he had not taken him too seriously as he was well aware that Colton only had twenty men with him. Besides, he had his fair share of enemies from being in this line of work. After all, the powerful were always surrounded by wolves, and coupled with the fact that he was never one to hold back, it was a fact that he had offended quite a few influential figures recently.

Jerry's expression turned grave. He couldn't continue wasting any more of his time with Colton if that were truly the case. "As you can see, Mr. Gardner, we've been met with unforeseen circumstances. I guess we can only leave today's matters for another day."

He stood up and prepared to leave when Sasha stopped him, narrowing her eyes at Colton. As someone who had dated him in the past, she still had a good understanding of this man's true nature.

"He may have secretly sent someone over. Keep an eye on them for now just to be on the safe side. If they're colluding with those people, we'll be the ones at a disadvantage, don't you think?"

Her words immediately brought Jerry to his senses, and he said to the guards outside, "You, come in and keep an eye on these people."

Dominic rose to his feet and threatened coldly, "Jerry, don't forget that it won't reflect well on you if word gets out that you're detaining people without authorization like this. Don't ruin your own reputation."

Jerry hesitated a little, but Sasha pointed out, interjecting, "If they're really working with them, it won't be a matter of reputation, it'll be a matter of our lives."

These words immediately dashed all of Jerry's doubts, and he instantly said, "Please remain seated for a moment. I'll be back soon."

With that, a few burly men with heavy weapons walked in. Although Colton and the others were carrying pistols with them, from the looks of things, they wouldn't have the time to draw their weapons before they took their last breath.

Dominic didn't speak any further and returned to his seat, while Colton sat on the couch with an indifferent expression, as if everything was within his calculations.

Sasha couldn't shake off her feeling of unease, but as gunshots continued to sound outside, she couldn't help but head out to take a look at what was going on.
