The list of things John wanted Logan to prepare was rather long, and he couldn’t figure out how John wanted to use

them in such a short period of time. Nevertheless, he still sent his men to prepare them, and they came out of the

basement for a cigarette break while they were at it.

While they were shrouded in cigarette smoke, his men prepared the items requested by John one by one, but it

wasn’t complete as it was already late, and they couldn’t find everything on the list. Placing everything into a box,

they then showed it to him.

After a quick glance, John nodded. “Yeah, this will do.”

The sky was completely dark now, and both of them saw the man trying to free himself from the ropes binding him

when they returned to the basement.

“You better behave yourself!” Logan yelled and delivered him one more kick.

Helplessly, John hadn’t noticed that Logan was so fond of hustling before this. In contrast to that, he was more

composed than him. “Even if you can loosen the ropes, there’s no way for you to escape,” he pointed out.

Unable to contain his anger, the man glared and spat. This made Logan, who always had a foul temper, exclaim in

surprise, and he kicked him over. With one foot on the man’s back, he sneered, “Damn it, you still have the nerves

to challenge me at this time. You must be asking for it.”

On the other side, John didn’t intervene but opened up the box and picked out two items from it—a pack of slender,

long nails and a bottle of transparent, unknown fluid. Uncapping the bottle and pouring out the nails from the pack,

he glanced at Logan and said calmly, “Keep him still.”

Logan looked at him and smirked. “Alright, just do your best. I assure you that he won’t even have the chance to

struggle.”

Meanwhile, Sophia slept until midnight and woke up to use the bathroom. In staggering steps, she went into the

bathroom and stared at the empty bed when she returned, realizing that John was not in bed.

Scratching her head, she peered outside the window and saw that his car was not in the yard, either. He probably

went out, she reckoned.

Crawling back to bed, she recalled what happened during the day and figured that he must have left with Logan to

interrogate that man. Seeing that it was already way past midnight and judging from that man’s cowardly

appearance, she thought that he didn’t seem so capable and couldn’t figure out why it would take them such a long

time to deal with him.

As she had slept too much during the day, she was now wide awake and sat upright with her back leaning on the

headboard.

Since John didn’t send her a text nor give her a call, it seemed like he was assured of her situation here. Hence, she

sat there for a long while, and just as she wanted to lie down again because she couldn’t wait any longer, her cell

phone rang.

It wasn’t a call, but a text message.

The vibration of her cell phone made her jump in surprise. It was already way past midnight, and the sudden

vibration of the cell phone was very startling indeed.

Grabbing her cell phone, she glanced at it and saw that an unknown number had sent a zoomed-in picture of

herself. She could tell that it was a picture taken secretly of her at the mall today.

With furrowed brows, she wondered what was the meaning behind the picture. Was it a warning saying that all her

movements were being watched by this other person?

After thinking about it, she replied with nothing but a question mark.

Soon, she received another picture from the same number. It was still a picture of her, but it wasn’t one from the

mall.

This time, it was a picture of her at the entrance to her housing area.

Before she could scrutinize the picture, she received another one, which was taken when she was at home, and it
