Chapter 284 If God Shows Mercy to Mankind The soft morning sunlight was filtering through the windows, scattering a radiant glow across the forest. bed. "What do you want?" Maggic asked; her gaze was calm and composed. The sunlight enveloped her face, making her delicate features appear even more stunning.
Timmothy didn't give a direct response. Instead, he proposed, "Have you heard of the famous fountain on Parbo Hill? According to legend, if you climb to the summit and make a sincere wish at the fountain. people will see their disasters alleviated and their wishes fulfilled. Would you like to go see it?" Maggie disliked the way he spoke, which was as torturous as a slow execution, elusive, and unfathomable, making it impossible for her to guess his true intentions.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Timmothy smiled softly. He said warmly, "Don't you have any wishes? I'm just looking for someone to accompany me." This was, by far, the most absurd reason Maggie had ever heard. He wanted someone to accompany him on a climb, so he dragged her all this way! Looking at his pale, harmless face and the melancholic depths in his beautiful eyes, Maggie felt a sudden urge to bag his head and batter him.
"I'm not interested in climbing mountains. We're all adults here; let's go straight to the point. What do you want?" Maggie said it coldly.
Timmothy seemed slightly disappointed. He sighed and said, "Maggie, you're dying. Don't you have any wishes?" He approached the French window with his gaze fixed on the rising sun. There was a fragile air about him, as if he could break with the slightest touch. Yet, at the stime, an eerie sense of darkness lingered around him, rendering him both contradictory and enigmatic.
Maggie struggled to articulate her emotions toward him. This man seemed to be torn between two conflicting sides of himself, one veiled in shadows and the other bathed in sunlight.
Did she have any wishes? Of course, she did.
Maggie was silent for a long tbefore she broke it. Her voice was slightly hoarse. "I don't believe in God." Timmothy responded quietly, "Yet, the gods have given you a chance to start anew." Maggie was speechless and unable to argue with him.
Just then, Timmothy's phone rang/His overly pale fingers answered the call at a measured pace. Maggie stood not far away. She could clearly hear the voice on the other end.
"Mr. Timmothy, Mr. Nathael has arrived.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaggie's heart clenched when she heard this. She instinctively wanted to move forward. Before hanging up, Timmothy turned and looked at her, as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He asked, "Maggie, do you remember the explosion in Alosea?" 1/3 Chapter 284 If God Shows Mercy to Mankind A chemical plant in Alosea had once stored materials improperly, resulting in a massive explosion that released toxic gases, affecting many civilians.
At that time, she had been too busy strategizing for the Camerons to pay much attention to the incident. It was sensational news, and she knew sdetails.
The accident claimed over twenty lives and injured more than thirty people, resulting in severe repercussions for the local officials held accountable.
Maggie carefully recalled the accident and realized it had occurred around this time.
Was Timmothy implying She instinctively looked up when she thought of this. Her eyes reddening slightly, she asked in a raspy voice. "You plan to useas bait to lure Nathael to that chemical plant!" Timmothy said nothing. He merely smiled and said, "So, you do remember that incident." Maggie rushed forward quickly. She grabbed his shirt, her eyes icy, and warned. "Timmothy, if you dare to harm him even slightly, I'll drag you to hell witheven if it kills me!" Timmothy grinned. He wrapped an arm around Maggie's waist and leaned in close. His face looked both eerie and insane, as he stated, “But Maggie, it was you who dragged him to hell with you in a past life.
His breath brushed her ear, causing Maggie's body to shudder. Her throat tightened.
She didn't dodge, but she met his gaze with reddened eyes. The scent of a stranger felt uncomfortably unsettling for her.
Timmothy smiled gently, his eyes fixed on her as if awaiting her response.
Maggie snatched the phone from his hand and pushed him away violently.
In a composed manner, Timmothy calmly explained, “I sent him a video of you bound in the factory. He had quickly located the site." With trembling hands, Maggie attempted to call Nathael using Timmothy's phone.
Yet his calm demeanor hinted that the situation was far more complicated than she thought.
Indeed, when Maggie tried to make the call, she discovered the battery had been removed without her noticing.
It was a useless device now, nothing more than a brick.
"The weather's pleasant today. Let's go for a hike, Timmothy suggested slowly.
"What's the use of praying if you don't believe? God wouldn't forgive someone like you," Maggie retorted, meeting his gaze.
"How can you be so certain I'm not a believer? Or do you know what kind of person I am?" Timmothy chuckled and questioned.
Maggie opted not to continue the conversation. She couldn't comprehend Timmothy's behavior or ascertain his character.
2/3 14:19 Tue, 28 May BM- Chapter 284 If God Shows Mercy to Mankind.
But his actions were certainly erratic-far from something that could be done by an ordinary person.
Quietly, she calmed herself and lowered her gaze.
There must be a way out.
She needed to warn Nathael.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm58% Without knowing the exact tof the incident, she couldn't advise him to leave the arca and avoid the factory.
"If God shows mercy to mankind, I'm willing to show Nathael mercy," Timmothy murmured softly.
Her eyes welling up, Maggie replied slowly, "Okay, let's climb the mountain." Timmothy smiled and arranged for Maggie to change into casual hiking clothes.
Once he left the room, Maggie quickly searched for something sharp.
Unfortunately, there weren't many useful items in the room. The m sharpest thing she could find was a large shard of glass from the broken makeup mirror. It might not be ideal, but she had no other choice.
Just as Timmothy was examining a brooch she had intended to given Nathael Maggie dressed simply in a hoodie and sweatpants, emerged from the room. "That's an interesting design. Is this for Nathael?" Timmothy's voice was soft as he gently touched the back pin.
E The brooch looked out of place in his hands. Maggie met his gaze and demanded, “Give it back to me." Raising an eyebrow, Timmothy, with a lazy posture betraying a hint of exhaustion, commented, "Nathael will surely appreciate it."
Unsure of his intentions, Maggie was about to respond when Timmothy pocketed the brooch and stood up straight. Let's go. It's tto hike. We should reach the summit before noon." As the brooch vanished into his pocket, Maggie felt a tightness in her chest but knew it wasn't the right tto confront him.
She followed Timmothy out of the room and noticed Samuel, as well as a serious-looking young man who appeared to be under thirty.
Additionally, there were several armed foreign mercenaries, keeping a watchful eye on them.
