Chapter 2268 He Attacked

Abel's attitude was completely different from when they were in the lounge earlier.

Perhaps Abel never wanted to follow Jeff since the beginning.

Even if Sebastian could not protect him, he was still better than a weird cripple like Jeff.

What was more, the situation was still unclear because they did not know what was going on outside.

How could Nicole and Luca ruin Sebastian's career so easily?

Abel was not a fool.

If he did not do something at this time, he did not know how he would explain it to Sebastian later.

Nicole did not dare to move for fear that Abel would accidentally pull the trigger.

People like Abel who carried weapons with them abroad disregarded human life, so Nicole did not dare to test his limits.

Just as Luca was about to come over, Nicole winked at him.

Thus, Luca stood there dumbfoundedly and stared at Abel coldly.

Luca was on guard as if he was ready to attack.

Jeff was the closest to Abel.

However, it was a pity that he could not even stand up, let alone save Nicole from a professional assassin like Abel.

Abel also expected this. That was why he dared to be so unscrupulous.

Soon, they heard voices coming from outside the room.

Someone was approaching their room.

Abel had a complicated expression, but the muzzle of his gun was still pointing at the back of Nicole's head. He did not dare to relax for one second.

Suddenly, someone opened the door of this room from the outside.

Abel’s eyes flickered, and he looked over excitedly.

Then, a muffled sound suddenly pierced the air.

Abel looked back in disbelief at the man in the wheelchair who had an extra gun in his hand at some point.

That gun even had a silencer.

Abel noticed a bloody wound on his own chest.

He looked at his wound with a distorted, complex, and shocked expression.

Jeff's face was extremely cold and calm. A chill permeated from his eyes. They look dangerous and mysterious like the unknown seabed, which made people shudder.

The gun on the back of Nicole's head fell to the ground. Abel knelt on the ground in defeat and pointed at Jeff as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Abel looked unreconciled.

However, no matter how unreconciled he was, he no longer had a chance to regret his decision.

He had been with Jeff for so long and only regarded him as a useless person.

Abel did not even know that Jeff had a gun.

Luca walked over in a few steps, pulled Nicole behind him, and pointed the gun in his hand at Abel, who was lying on the ground.

That was because Luca was afraid that Abel would attack from behind.

Nicole’s face was calm, and she did not seem to be frightened by this accident.

The whole situation lasted merely two minutes.

The noise outside was getting closer and more chaotic.

The seawater looked as if it could swallow everything at anytime.

Nicole fixed her gaze on Jeff. She was about to say something when someone pushed the door open.

It was Leighton.

Leighton narrowed his eyes and saw the person who was lying on the ground.

He pursed his lips and looked at Nicole and Luca.

'You guys alright?"

Nicole nodded.

Leighton looked at Jeff. "Ms. Stanton, is he the one you're looking for despite the danger?"

Jeffs face changed slightly.

His eyes darkened for a moment.

What that man implied was that Nicole came specially to look for him.

It was not a passing thing.

Jeffs heart tightened.

It was as if someone had squeezed it hard.

He felt unspeakably bitter.

Jeff looked at Nicole, who turned her head slightly and looked away.

"How are you guys doing?"

"We caught him, and we've restrained most of the others. We can go up first and leave some people here to search for the rest."

Leighton spoke indifferently, so Nicole also responded indifferently.

Then she looked at Jeff.

"Mr. Lieberman, shall we?"

Jeff's face was tense. He pursed his lips, and he looked hesitant.

Did she know about his identity or not?

Or was she aware of it, but only pretended not to know?

Luca glanced at Jeff and did not say anything. He just walked behind Nicole.

Jeff looked back and hid the fading light in his eyes.

Nicole did not know.

Otherwise, Luca’s expression would expose it.

Leighton looked at Jeff and nodded without being overly friendly or hostile. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.

Then, Leighton walked out as well.

Jeff looked at the person lying in a pool of blood on the ground without any guilt or fear.

He tucked the gun back behind his waist and glanced over calmly.

His expression was cold, and his eyes were sharp.

What was he afraid of the moment he fired the gun just now?

He was afraid that Abel would be a step faster than him and would hurt Nicole.

Fortunately, he got rid of Abel first.

Even if his hands were covered with blood, he did not care.

As soon as he went out, he saw Connor walking in front. His subordinates tied Sebastian up tightly, and Sebastian's face was glum and unwilling.

"Connor, we went our separate ways! You're deliberately taking revenge against me. How did you find this place anyway?"

Connor seemed to be in a good mood. 'Wanna take a guess?"

Sebastian wished he could lunge over and kill Connor.

Unfortunately, Sebastian knew he was doomed.

When Sebastian was brought over to the room, he saw Nicole and Luca coming out.

Then, he saw Jeff.

His eyes changed slightly.

'You..."

Jeff raised his dark eyes and gave him a look.

Sebastian, who was about to blurt out something, held back his words in an instant.

It was just that when he looked at Jeff, there was unconcealable anger in his eyes as if he had been cheated.

'We're friends! How could you betray me?!"

Jeff kept silent and said nothing.

Compared with Jeff’s betrayal, what makes Sebastian even angrier was that his hard work was about to be ruined.

Sebastian knew exactly what he was facing after going ashore.

He still had not expanded his efforts worldwide, and his career had not yet begun.

George Quay, the richest man in Liberty, promised to invest in him.

Giving up at this critical moment meant that Sebastian would really end up with nothing.

Sebastian gritted his teeth anxiously.

He could not help but curse at everyone present.

Leighton and Connor looked at Sebastian like he was a clown, and they were not the slightest bit angry.

Their victorious attitude provoked Sebastian even more.

Connor said in a playful tone, 'That's enough. It’s no point to keep cursing at us. It'll be dawn soon. Do you want to be surrounded by people when you arrive on shore?"

Connor looked at his subordinates, who immediately led Sebastian forward.

Leighton had already begun to prepare his men to search for the remaining people who managed to slip away.

Connor glanced at Nicole.

"Ms. Stanton, shall we go since you've found your friend?"

Nicole nodded.

She lifted her foot and walked forward without any hesitation.

The person in the wheelchair glanced at her back with deep eyes.

Suddenly, Sebastian had an idea. He charged at the people who restrained him and ran toward the anatomy room.

Connor was startled and narrowed his eyes.

Immediately afterward, his eyes flickered.

"Sh*t! He wants to activate the self-destruction system! Stop him!" 1
