Chapter 1779 The Showdown
Taking his hand off Natalie's eyes, Sean bent down to remove the rope bound to her body from the chair.
With this, Natalie could finally free herself from the chair. She could stand up from the chair, no longer tied to it.
Subsequently, Sean bent down again to untie the rope bound around her ankle.
She lowered her head to observe his movements and asked warily, “What are you up to, Sean?”
Is he planning to let me go? How can this be possible!
The only answer was for him to take her away so that he could threaten Shane.
Sean stared at Natalie for a while and then flashed her a smile after remembering her appearance.
It was no longer the mischievous and unsettling smirk, as if he was plotting something.
Instead, the smile was a genuine one from Sean, free from any ill intentions or complicated emotions.
Natalie was somewhat taken aback by what she saw for a moment.
She had seen many expressions on Sean's face, each one of them unsettling, making her feel uncomfortable.
But this time, seeing Sean's pure and earnest smile, she found herself unexpectedly unaccustomed to it for a moment.
In particular, she had no idea why he was smiling like that. It was as if there was some special meaning behind his smile.
Before she even had the chance to ask, Sean had already wiped the smile off his face, instantly becoming fierce and ruthless.
He drew a gun from his waist, cocked the safety, and pointed it directly at Natalie's temple.
At that moment, Natalie felt her mind go blank. The cold sensation of the gun muzzle felt like the Grim Reaper's scythe, causing her to freeze in terror.
She never imagined that Sean would change his expression so quickly.
One moment, he was laughing, and his laughter was so pure and innocent. The next moment, he transformed into a menacing figure, brandishing a gun at her, threatening her life.
A person like him was indeed an evil monster. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Looking at Natalie's pale face, a flicker of guilt flashed through Sean's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, returning to his fierce demeanor. “Nat, don't blame me. You've heard what he said, right? All my men were killed by Shane. Now, it's just him and me left. In order to turn the tables, I have no choice but to use you against Shane. Come with me!”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Natalie and pressed the gun's muzzle against her temple before stepping outside the tent.
Meanwhile, Shane's men had already eliminated all of Sean's men outside.
Although Sean's people were completely wiped out, Shane's side had only a few men left. At that moment, the remaining few searched every tent, looking for the whereabouts of Sean and Natalie.
“Mr. Thompson, are you sure Sean is here?” While this was happening, Stanley was bandaging Shane's wounds. As he tended to Shane's injury, Stanley added, “We've been fighting for so long, but Sean didn't show up at all. Perhaps he hasn't been here all along. This place could just be somewhere he left behind...”
Before he could finish his words, he saw Shane's face suddenly change dramatically before abruptly standing up from the rock.
What's going on?
Taken aback by Shane's reaction, Stanley then turned his head to follow Shane's gaze.
He then saw Sean arriving with Natalie.
After noticing Natalie with her head against the gun's muzzle, Shane's intent to kill Sean had reached its absolute peak.
With a fierce glare, he looked at Sean, “You're courting death!”
Sean looked at Shane's murderous intent toward him. Not only was he not afraid, but he even started to laugh at him. “Shane, you shouldn't have said those words. With Natalie as my guaranteed victory leverage in hand, it is still uncertain who will live and who will die.”
“Don't you dare use me to threaten my husband!” Natalie shouted, her voice filled with hatred.
Just when those words left her mouth, Sean hit her shoulder with his elbow, warning her fiercely, “Don't move, or don't blame me for losing control!”
Natalie's pupils contracted, and she dared not to move recklessly in an instant.
When Shane saw her like this, he felt as if his heart had been ripped out.
He clenched his fists tightly as he stared intently at Sean. “Let her go. This grudge is between you and me. Is this your magnanimity, Sean, to involve a woman in this?”
