Chapter 1152 Stalling for Time
The men started to hesitate at the thought of the 5 million. After some thought, they figured that Nicole couldn't play any tricks under their watch. So, they agreed.
One of them went to take her phone and threw it to her. Then, she started to click on her phone with the men staring at her for fear that she might do something else.
Nicole obediently opened the banking app and looked up at them before saying seriously, "You need to give me your bank details for me to do the transfer."
They shot her dubious looks as this felt too good to be true. But they soon whipped out their phones to look for the necessary information since they had nothing to lose even if Nicole didn't have the money.
A quarter of an hour had passed after they all found their banking details.
Nicole wanted to transfer 5 million at once, but a notification popped up and said that she could only transfer 100 thousand per transaction.
She looked up at them with innocent eyes and said, "The banking app only allows me to transfer 100 thousand at one time. I'll need to transfer you 50 times."
The leader of the pack couldn't help but find the entire thing tedious, so he frowned and questioned hotly, "Are you trying to play games with us?"
Nicole answered straightforwardly, "I can cancel the transaction if you don't believe me."
Then, she went to put her phone down.
The other men got anxious and pipped in as they couldn't let the money fly away when it was right within their reach. "Do it. Do the transaction. I want to see how much you can transfer out."
Nicole had already known that they were a pack of greedy wolves. Now, she could at least stall for at least 10 more minutes and hoped that Colton and his men could arrive in time.
So, she started to do the transfer. When the transaction went through, the men jumped happily when they saw the notification appearing on their phones.
"Boss, we really got the money."
The men gathered around and jumped with joy when they realized Nicole had really transferred them the money. Then, they continued to threaten her to transfer more money.
Alas, a car screeching to a stop rang from behind them.
It caught their attention, and they turned around to see a luxurious sports car had stopped before them with a few vans trailing behind it. They could see tire marks on the ground due to the sudden break from the sports car.
Nicole watched as the car door opened and saw that it was none other than Colton.
Before the men could react, she immediately rose to her feet and backed away from the ensuing fight.
She had been saving her energy for this moment. When the bunch of burly men's attention was taken by the sports car, she ran as fast as possible.
Just as the men were about to go after her, Colton's tall figure blocked their path.
As Nicole was drugged, she started to see stars after a few minutes and stumbled forward. Luckily, Colton caught her in time before she fell to the ground.
Her face was terrifyingly pale, but she suppressed her nausea and told Colton, "Colton, I think I've been drugged."
Colton's gaze landed on the ripped shirt on Nicole as his eyes turned bloodshot. He took off his jacket and covered Nicole with it.
A hint of fury could be heard in his icy voice, "Did they do anything to you?"
Nicole shook her head. "No."
Then, the anger in his eyes dissipated a little as his hands cupped her cheeks and he urged gently, "Okay. Go wait for me in the car. I'll be done with them soon."
Yet, Nicole merely stared at him with concerned eyes. She knew he was a good fighter, but his body wasn't as powerful as before after he was infected with the voodoo bug.
