There were already here were guards standing sentry outside the gates. When Nicholas showed up, they said, “Greetings, sir.”
Nicholas ignored them and walked through the gates, but he stepped on a rickety wooden bat. It made him stop, and then he picked it up. He weighed it in his hand, fury flaring in his eyes, and he made his way to the warehouse.
Edward had received news of Nicholas’ arrival and was awaiting him in silence. When Nicholas came in, he approached him. “Mr. Sawyer-”
However, it was like Nicholas couldn’t see him. His gaze of hatred was fixed on the person who almost killed Tessa. Nicholas, like a demon from hell, slowly approached the man who was tied up and lying on the ground, wanting nothing but his life.
Edward was so stunned that he had even forgotten what he wanted to say. The driver was terrified. Every step Nicholas took made his fear mount, and his heart trembled. He knew what was coming when he saw the bat Nicholas was holding. “Don’t come near me!”
Struggle as he might, he couldn’t escape as he was tied up tightly. All he could do was squirm like a maggot.
Edward snapped out of his stupor, and the next second, he heard the screams of the driver echoing through the air. Nicholas was swinging the bat violently and smashing it upon the driver time and time again.
“Please, stop! I can’t take it anymore!” The driver begged for his life, but it was useless. All Nicholas could see was red. The driver almost killed the most important person in his life, and he would pay dearly for it. He swung his bat even harder.
The driver’s screams rang across the air, and then Edward heard the cracks of the driver’s bones. He shivered in fear, but even so, he wanted to see if he could convince his employer to stop. I can’t let him dirty his hands for scum like the driver. However, he realized he couldn’t muster the courage to even approach Nicholas, much less convince him.
Just as Edward was at a loss, Kieran arrived at the scene. He saw what his brother was doing and roared at once, “Why are all of you standing there? Pull them apart!”
Edward and the bodyguards snapped out of it, then they scrambled to stop Nicholas, but none of them could stop a furious beast. “Off with you!” Nicholas kicked away the bodyguards and was about to land another strike.
However, Kieran stepped in. He held his brother. and pulled him away as best he could. “Stop, Nick. He’s going to die if you don’t stop!”
“As he should!” Nicholas was still glaring at the driver while trying his best to break free of Kieran’s grasp.
It took Kieran his all to keep his brother in check. “Calm down! I know he deserves this, but death is mercy for him. At least torture him a little for what he did to Tessa.”
Nicholas froze, and he finally calmed down, but his rage for the driver remained unabated. “You’re right. Death is mercy for him.” He tossed the broken bat away.
The driver, who was about to black out, shivered. A hint of regret welled up within him. / shouldn’t have taken this job. Look what that got me into.
Alright. Time to step in. Edward said, ‘Sir, there’s someone behind this attempted murder. I found out about it just before you came.”
“You should’ve opened with that. How are we supposed to interrogate this guy now? Nicholas already beat him half to death.”
