Seeing this, Charlie couldn't say much.
"Be careful and play it by ear. For that kind of desperate madman, you don't need to talk nonsense to him. If you can't, just get him killed. We'll protect you in the shadows."
Archie nodded.
Half an hour later.
Natalia was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
Her head was still a little dizzy and her eyes were too heavy to open. She managed to open her eyes a little, and then all she could feel was darkness around her. There was a light coming in from a distance and she could faintly see a man moving around.
What was this place?
she thought unconsciously. As far as she could remember, she had only just come out of the hospital and had wanted to go and buy Archie some of his favorite Chinese food, then got in the car and ...
Natalia frowned and thought in a daze. And then what happened to her?
The memory was mobilized and she shuddered hard.
No!
Natalia came to her senses instantly and bounced off the floor almost subconsciously.
It was dark all around her, with a little light coming through an unlocked door in front of her.
Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were also tied. The wooden floor beneath her smelled salty and damp, while the wind whistled in her ears like she was on a boat.
On a boat?
The knowledge gave Natalia a slight jolt. Her wrists hurt from being tied so tightly. She frowned and struggled to free herself, but instead of breaking free, she made her wrists more and more painful.
Her heart sank slightly and she pursed her lips as she struggled to move towards the door. With that ray of light, she looked through the doorway to see the man moving around outside.
His back ... looked so familiar!
She searched hard in her memory and soon remembered. It happened that the man turned around at that moment and confirmed her suspicions. Sure enough, it was Allen.
"Allen!" She shouted out, "What did you tie me up here for?"
Allen was waiting anxiously for an answer from Archie.
When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw that she had crawled to the door, so he hurriedly walked over to her, and with fierce eyes, he kicked her in the shoulder.
Natalia didn't stand still and fell backward.
Allen followed her in, turned on the lights in the cabin, and took her to the side. Then he said sternly, "Behave yourself! Or I'll kill you right now!"
His movement touched the wound on Natalia's calf. She grunted in pain and frowned.
"Allen, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, what you're doing is considered illegal imprisonment. It is against the law!"
Natalia said calmly as she kept her wits about her.
Allen smiled grimly and crouched down in front of her, then took out a cold, glittering dagger.
"Imprisoned? Against the law? Do you think I'm afraid of that now?"
He spoke to her as if to himself, "The Stevenson family is out to kill me, and if I don't kidnap you, do you think my future will be any better than prison?"
