Chapter 445<\/p>\n
Just as Nathan was about to collapse to the floor, the man in the baseball cap extended his arm, grabbed Nathan\u2019s collar, and pulled him back up.<\/p>\n
Being grabbed like that made Nathan shiver even more from fright.<\/p>\n
The man asked, \u201cWho are you revealing the secrets to? Who pointed a gun at you? And where are you coming home from?\u201d<\/p>\n
The questions brought Nathan back to his senses, and he looked up to meet the eyes under the man\u2019s cap.<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, he shouted in disbelief, \u201cMr. Chivers!\u201d<\/p>\n
The man in the baseball cap was indeed Morris, and he hadn\u2019t rested for an entire day and night.<\/p>\n
After finishing work at the Chivers Group, Morris changed clothes and came straight here to keep a watch.<\/p>\n
Nathan relaxed a little when he saw it was Morris, but then he became nervous again.<\/p>\n
Morris\u2018 tricks were as good as those of Ghost Hand. Nathan gently asked, \u201cMr. Chivers, why are you here at this time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris was starting to get impatient and remarked, \u201cAnswer the questions I asked you earlier honestly. You should know the consequences of lying to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan felt like breaking down, having just escaped one dangerous situation to fall into another.<\/p>\n
After thinking it over, Nathan gritted his teeth and said, \u201cMr. Chivers, I\u2019m really at my wit\u2019s end. I know you may have your methods, but you\u2019re a man of integrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere\u2019re the truth, it was Ghost Hand. Two months ago, Ghost Hand took me and forced me to reveal the tech secrets of my company, and I was not the only victim.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany influential people in Clusia are connected with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really don\u2019t know the exact location; I was blindfolded the whole time.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, I found myself cornered into a desperate situation. A man aimed a gun at me, threatening my life. I had no choice but to sign a contract with Ghost Hand, surrendering all my technology. Only after I complied did they let me go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no idea what Ghost Hand looks like; he\u2019s always dressed in black and wears a mask.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, the location where this occurred is likely undetectable by any GPS.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have their own signal\u2013blocking tower, which was constructed and is maintained by renowned international professionals, forced into service by Clusia\u2019s tech tycoons.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhost Hand\u2019s truly reckless. Consider the number of prominent figures who have vanished recently\u2013none have been found.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Nathan spoke, his expression became truly pained.<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s neck veins bulged prominently. He was astonished to learn that such a brazen organization operated within the otherwise tranquil region of Clusia.<\/p>\n
There was a signal\u2013blocking tower. Now Morris understood why he had found nothing after he had searched for a whole day and night<\/p>\n
Looking at Nathan, Morris asked, \u201cBefore you came out today, did you see any unfamiliar faces in there?\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathan seemed to be trying hard to recall as he shook his head, murmuring, \u201cIt seems like there was\u2013yes, there was! It was<\/p>\n
woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right. Ghost Hand called her Mrs. Chivers. It seemed there was an old lady next to her, but I didn\u2019t look closely.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan suddenly realized something and widened his eyes, staring at Morris. Nathan said, \u201cMrs. Chivers? Is that your wife, Mr. Chivers?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems like she\u2019ll be up the day after tomorrow, so she\u2019ll face the same tough decision as I did.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour wife looks like a delicate woman, Mr. Chivers\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Morris released his grip from Nathan\u2019s collar.<\/p>\n
As soon as Morris let go, the elevator started going up again. It wasn\u2019t until the door opened on the 32nd floor that Morris finally said, \u201cJust go home now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nathan glanced at Morris, looking conflicted. Finally, Nathan said, \u201cPlease, Mr. Chivers, don\u2019t tell anyone we met.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded as the elevator door slowly closed, and it started descending again.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Night fell. After dinner, but before returning to her room, Cherise intentionally walked past two Ghost Hand staff members engaged in conversation.<\/p>\n
One of them whispered, \u201cBoss is gone, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The other replied, \u201cYeah, he\u2019s left. Probably won\u2019t be back until tomorrow. Want to have some fun tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man agreed, \u201cDefinitely! Being stuck in this damn place every day is really getting boring.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust look at your bank account balance,\u201d the other guy teased.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Cherise smirked and went back to her room.<\/p>\n
It was past midnight, and everyone in Cherise\u2019s room was already asleep.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Cherise\u2019s eyes opened wide, and she sat up quickly.<\/p>\n
Seeing that the light under the door had disappeared, Cherise removed the rubber band from her wrist and tied her hair into a neat bun.<\/p>\n
Then she stood up and moved nimbly towards the door.<\/p>\n
She examined the somewhat complex door lock and took a thin black hairpin from her thick hair.<\/p>\n
With a gentle twist, Cherise opened the door just a crack withou causing any noise.<\/p>\n
Through the gap in the door, Cherise peeked into the lobby outside. Aside from a few lights on, all the other lights were off<\/p>\n
There were about six people on patrol at night, and Cherise could easily handle them.<\/p>\n
She glanced at that mysterious spot, silently counting, Three, I one. Then she quickly shut the door, moved out of the surveillance range, and slipped away.<\/p>\n
There weren\u2019t many needles left, so Cherise had to use them cal fously<\/p>\n

Cherise noted the positions of the night patrol and reached into her pocket for the peanuts she hadn\u2019t finished at dinner.<\/p>\n
+5<\/p>\n
Feeling her stomach slightly shrink after the past few days, she quickly flicked a peanut at each of the guys, hitting pressure points from a distance.<\/p>\n
In an instant, the once drowsy six slipped into a blank stare, standing straight as if frozen in time.<\/p>\n
After hitting their pressure points, Cherise didn\u2019t waste any time and dodged the security cameras again, sprinting like lightning toward the attic.<\/p>\n
There really were many cameras around. If Cherise hadn\u2019t been so slim and agile, she wouldn\u2019t have been able to avoid them.<\/p>\n
There were several guards in the attic, just like the lobby. Using the same method, Cherise flicked the last few peanuts at them.<\/p>\n
After that, Cherise cautiously observed the layout of the attic.<\/p>\n
As expected, she found the exit was on the second floor. There was a large iron door with a transparent glass pane in the middle.<\/p>\n
From there, Cherise could clearly see the pitch\u2013black sky outside, along with the towering cliffs and trees.<\/p>\n
It was clearly a basin\u2013like terrain. To the right of the iron gate was the place where Ghost Hand stood during the morning gathering, watching Cherise.<\/p>\n
To save time, Cherise fiddled with some buttons on her clothes, walked in with a bit of caution, and came out a few minutes later.<\/p>\n
Then, Cherise calmly retraced her steps back to her room, following the same path she had taken when she left.<\/p>\n
After locking the door, Cherise lay down on the wooden bed and closed her eyes to rest.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, all the night patrols and guards outside the door were back to normal. No one knew what had just happened, and no one noticed anything unusual.<\/p>\n
