Chapter 202

When he regained consciousness, the man with the ghostly face removed his mask. Bathed in moonlight, his black eyes were cold and piercing as he stared at Nick with a chilling and bloodthirsty gaze.

Eric stepped forward and inquired, “Mr. Fallen, what should I do?”

“Tie up these two men and throw them in the car. As for Nick“” Edgar’s voice trailed off, her eyes narrowing with ruthlessness. “Hang him up and take him to the prepared hut. Sheng Ge will be here in ten minutes.”

“Yes,” Eric acknowledged.

Nick was abruptly awakened by the sensation of cold water splashing on his face. As he opened his eyes, he realized his hands were bound, and he was suspended from the beams of a dilapidated house with his feet barely touching the ground. The position was incredibly exhausting, and his arms ached unbearably.

He chuckled softly.

The ghost–faced man approached him, cutting straight to the chase. “There was a bottle of S404 biochemical sample stolen from the laboratory recently. Upon checking the records, I discovered you had visited the lab half a month ago.”

Nick refused to accept the accusation. “I wasn’t the only one who visited the laboratory. Why do suspect me?”

“Because on the same day you asked Sylvia to go to the bar, someone coincidentally took out that bottle of potion and harmed someone. Are you trying to tell me it had nothing to do with you?” the ghost–faced man questioned.

Nick furrowed his brows. “How did you find out?”
