Chapter 289 I’ll Take You There

Maggie paused for a moment, understanding Timmothy’s implication.

She stared intently at the seemingly harmless man before her while uttering through clenched teeth, “I should’ve ended you on the mountainside just now.”

Timmothy met her gaze with indifference, offering a smile as he remarked, “Practice makes perfect. Perhaps next time, you’ll be more ruthless.”

Bang! A deafening noise rang out.

In an instant, the already crumbling temple collapsed entirely, burying Timmothy and his hired men.

Their comrades outside fled first.

Some assisted each other, drenched in blood while cursing, “Damn, he’s insane!”

Maggie couldn’t resist running towards the temple, and this time, Timmothy raised his hand, signalling Toby to not stop her.
