Gregory and Vickie were very shocked.
A mini bomb?
This…
Though when Gregory and Vickie thought about it thoroughly, it was not impossible.
They were not familiar with Jeff before, so they did not know what his weakness was.
However, they had slowly begun to understand Jeff after confronting him for so long.
Since he was from a thousand years ago, his arrogance and pride were in his bones.
Jeff always thought he knew more than the others and that meant he was better than them.
Indeed, he was talented and proficient in ancient martial arts.
However, this put him at a disadvantage against modern technologies.
Considering that Gideon used the opportunity of giving him the Arcane Jades to install a tracking device in the box containing the Arcane Jades, was that not an example?
So now, Gideon’s tactics had to be more brutal than Jeff instead of more merciful than his.
Gregory and Vickie were a little relieved.
Anyhow, they fell silent for a moment when they recalled Gideon’s question.
At last, Vickie took the initiative to voice out.
“We won’t blame you because life and death were decided by fate. Even if Jeff is alive, he might not help us wholeheartedly so no matter what, we still need to think of a way and solve this problem by ourselves.”
“If he gathers the twelve Arcane Jades, successfully activates the spacecraft, and causes a nuclear explosion, we won’t be the only ones dead; maybe hundreds and thousands of people, and millions of people could be affected by this disaster. We can’t let him do that.”
Gregory nodded.
“She’s right. We will think of a way for this issue. Jeff needs to die.”
Looking at them, it would be fake for Gideon to say that their words did not move him.
He raised his hands and patted their shoulders.
“Don’t worry. I’ve asked Sean to formulate a cure for this disease, and since we have the Money Bead in our hands. Vickie will still be fine for now. As long as the antidote is developed, curing the disease won’t be a big deal.”
Both of them nodded.
They did not dwell on this subject since the decision had been made.
Gideon then ordered his subordinates to spy on Jeff closely, and at the right timing and location, they would detonate the bombs immediately.
He had created the bomb very cleverly this time.
No one would ever think that the valuable Arcane Jades, that people were dying for, would be sliced open by Gideon with high tech cutting technique and inserted with explosive chips in every one of them.
When the time was right, they would flip the switch here and an explosion would erupt immediately.
Although the micronucleus element in it would not cause much impact on the surrounding, it would cause instant death to the person holding it.
That was why Gideon did not flip the switch immediately but instead asked someone to follow Jeff and wait for the best timing.
After all, the power of the micronucleus element was too enormous.
Gideon did not want to hurt innocent people, so he would only detonate the bombs if Jeff was alone at that time.
He firmly believed that Jeff would not hand the Arcane Jade to his subordinates now that he finally got his hands on it. He must be carrying it with him closely, and the next step was to wait till he was alone.
After Gideon’s instructions, Gregory and Vickie realized that they had nothing to do here, so they took the initiative to help out.
Meanwhile, Gideon went back to the medical ward.
Nell was still not awake for the time being.
Sean had gone to have some rest so Cathy kept watch by her sickbed.
Seeing that Gideon had come in, Cathy rubbed her red eyes and forced a smile. “You came. Why don’t you stay with her? I’m going out.”
With a nod, Gideon said sincerely, “Thanks, Cathy.”
Cathy waved her hands and did not say anything before she turned and left.
Gideon sat beside the sickbed.
