Chapter 444<\/p>\n
Hearing Ghost Hand\u2019s words, Nathan was so scared that his legs trembled, and he collapsed on the ground.<\/p>\n
Staring at the gun aimed at him, Nathan pleased repeatedly in a shaky voice, \u201cI\u2019ll sign it. I\u2019ll work with you.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, don\u2019t kill me. Don\u2019t kill me. I\u2019ve got family\u2013young and old. If I\u2019m gone, what will happen to them?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I die, what will happen to my thousands of employees and my business?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan cried his heart out as he spoke. He knew all too well what Ghost Hand and his crew could do. After being locked up there for days, Nathan had seen many who refused to compromise shot dead.<\/p>\n
Nathan couldn\u2019t die there. Everyone would be afraid of death. He had no choice but to give in.<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand chuckled, clearly pleased, and said, \u201cVery good. A wise person adapts to circumstances. Nathan, let\u2019s sign the contract later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise you\u2019ll return safely to see your family.\u201d<\/p>\n
After speaking, Ghost Hand glanced in Cherise\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
Mary clung tightly to Cherise\u2019s arm, and Cherise could feel her trembling. She reached out and gently patted Mary\u2019s hand, trying to comfort her.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked up in the direction where Ghost Hand was standing.<\/p>\n
Even though he wore a mask, Cherise knew he was staring at her<\/p>\n
As expected, a few minutes later, Ghost Hand spoke again, \u201cIt\u2019s great to meet you today. Let\u2019s meet again at the same time the day after tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon hearing those words, the captives tensed up with fearful expressions.<\/p>\n
It seemed the gathering would be held the day after tomorrow. Everyone wondered who it would be next time and if it would be their turn.<\/p>\n
While everyone was on edge, Ghost Hand said almost playfully, \u201cIn the past, we\u2019ve always invited gentlemen on stage. \u201cSo, why don\u2019t we warmly welcome a new lady on stage the day after next?<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Leach, or rather, Mrs. Chivers now, what are your thoughts?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Mary gasped in fear and whispered, \u201cWhat should we do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone else followed Ghost Hand\u2019s gaze towards Cherise.<\/p>\n
Many people recognized her, but even more were surprised when they heard her being called Mrs. Chivers.<\/p>\n
It would have been unimaginable that Morris\u2018 wife, the spouse of the most feared, respected, and wealthiest man in Clusia, could be captured and brought to such a terrifying place by Ghost Hand.<\/p>\n
Everyone was waiting for Cherise\u2019s response.<\/p>\n
In the end, Cherise raised her head with an air of arrogance and calmly said, \u201cWhatever.\u201d Then she just continued to stand there quietly.<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand clapped for her and said, \u201cGreat! The woman chosen by Morris is indeed extraordinary. I\u2019m eagerly looking<\/p>\n

forward to the day after tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghost Hand waved at the crowd before he walked back to the att<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s eyes followed his figure, studying his movement, trying to guess how old he was.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cherise kept exploring the structure of the huge factory. It was heavily fortified, with surveillance cameras everywhere.<\/p>\n
Aside from the rooms, she could hardly find any exits.<\/p>\n
It appeared that the breakfast and the people outside had entered through the attic. Cherise assumed that the exit must be<\/p>\n
located there.<\/p>\n
She narrowed her sharp eyes with a hint of curiosity and, under the urging of the Ghost Hand staff, turned and returned to the room with Mary, Damian, and Charles.<\/p>\n
After leaving Carson\u2019s island, Morris seemed to be feeling much better.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t return to Chivers Residence, but after another visit to the Dark Web Division, he regained his usual vigor and went back to work at the Chivers Group.<\/p>\n
On the road, Leo, who was driving, and Steven in the passenger seat, were reporting on their work<\/p>\n
Leo said, \u201cMr. Chivers, we have been unable to contact Nathan Anderson, the CEO of the chip company with which we signed a contract some time ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been two months since we last heard from him, and we have learned that his family has reported his disappearance to the authorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am concerned that our project may need to be delayed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Another missing one. Is that a coincidence?\u201d Morris said so as if he was making a statement rather than asking a question.<\/p>\n
Just as Morris finished speaking, Steven received a phone call. After hanging up, he said, \u201cMr. Chivers, word from our people is that Nathan has returned to the office.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon hearing this, Morris gently rubbed his lips, deep in thought.<\/p>\n
Nathan had just been released from Ghost Hand earlier that morning.<\/p>\n
As night fell, Nathan got out of his car in a private underground parking lot, ready to take the elevator home.<\/p>\n
He looked completely exhausted and dispirited.<\/p>\n
It seemed like Nathan hadn\u2019t yet recovered from the torment of the past two months, and he was very cautious.<\/p>\n
The elevator door opened, and Nathan walked in.<\/p>\n
Before the door could close, a tall man in a black baseball cap followed Nathan inside.<\/p>\n
Nathan started to feel a bit uneasy and quickly pressed the button for his floor, the thirty\u2013second.<\/p>\n
The man in the baseball cap pressed the button for the thirty\u2013third floor.<\/p>\n
Seeing that they weren\u2019t going to the same floor made Nathan feel somewhat relieved.<\/p>\n

However, for some reason, the elevator suddenly got stuck as it reached the eighteenth floor and stopped there.<\/p>\n
Nathan started to panic; he had endured this closed\u2013off feeling for two months. He didn\u2019t expect to experience it again after leaving the Ghost Hand.<\/p>\n
Nathan backed into the farthest corner of the elevator, leaning against the wall, sweating heavily, and struggling to stay upright as he slowly started to slide down.<\/p>\n
He kept saying, \u201cI\u2019ll sign it. I\u2019ll sign anything you want. I\u2019ll give you all my company\u2019s secrets.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to be here. I want to go home. Don\u2019t point that gun at me. I\u2019ll do whatever you say.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-467","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
