Chapter 289 I’ll Take You There

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

Nathael, a request she hadn’t accepted. Rather than convincing her further, he used the explosion and finger to make her face the consequences of her refusal.

Maggie’s heart quivered; her lovely almond eyes brimmed with tears, and the edges of her eyes turned

crimson.

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.”

Maggie averted her eyes. Her hand clenched into a fist on the table as her gaze shifted to the collapsing temple. Though her nails dug into her flesh, she felt no pain.

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.

Maggie acted on instinct, plunging into the chaotic rubble.
