Shelves lined with bottles and jars, test tubes filled with colorful liquids, and the bubbling sound of distillation surrounded them. This was just a part of Seth's lab, which contained both poisons and antidotes. Each was labeled with a code, not a name. The lab housed at least a dozen researchers, fully geared up and working diligently. Nash was placed on a sofa, unconscious.---Nina was taken to the hospital for a full-body check-up. Apart from some scrapes, she was fine. Thanks to Scarlett's protection, she had survived the ordeal. She worried about Scarlett, who had always expressed her loneliness and isolation. Even in the operating room, Scarlett was alone, with no one to visit her. Nina did not want her to be alone and wanted to provide her with some warmth.Nina waited outside the operating room, hoping that when Scarlett woke up, she would see someone who cared about her. Maybe that would give her more hope to live. After three hours, Scarlett was wheeled out

She looked at Scarlett lying in the hospital room, thinking Scarlett might have the answers. Nina sat quietly, opened her phone, and checked for information online. The road explosion had made the news immediately, given the connected world they lived in. People were discussing it everywhere, creating a sense of panic.The official announcement simply stated that an anti-crime operation had begun, with no details provided. She asked Kate about it. Kate explained that to avoid public panic, details would only be released once the operation concluded successfully. This meant that the current calm could be the precursor to a larger storm. The operation wasn't over, which likely meant Nash was still on duty.Nina furrowed her brows, feeling the complexity of the situation. Who was the real target of this operation?Looking outside, everything seemed calm. Compared to the chaos she witnessed at the scene, the hospital felt much more serene. At mealtime, James showed his concern b

Scarlett did not understand. "What are you talking about?"Nina looked outside again, noticing James’s occasional expressions of unease. She felt that her suspicions were partially correct. Nash might be trying to gain Seth’s trust and would likely take some calculated risks. The fact that Nash and Miranda were still missing only added to her concerns."James, did Nash go to see Seth?" Nina asked directly."Well..." James hesitated. "Captain will come back. Don't worry about him. If he returns, I'll inform you immediately."Scarlett, catching on, said to Nina, "If Nash really went to see Seth, it’s probably to get the antidote. Seth can make medicines and likely has his own lab. He must have learned from Pharaoh. He wouldn’t waste his skills."Nina's expression grew tense as she turned back to James. "Why didn’t you go with him? You haven’t made any moves. Did Nash go alone? Isn’t that too dangerous?"James was cornered. "Captain didn’t want us to follow.""Big goof, why can’t

Seth pointed to another row of vials. "The antidotes are over there."Both the poisons and antidotes were labeled with numbers, making it impossible to distinguish which was which.Seth looked at Nash and continued, "What do you think of my proposal?"Nash turned his gaze back to Seth. "Does it have to be a collaboration?"Seth smiled. "You're about to marry my daughter. I consider you family. If you're unwilling, it shows you don't respect me."At his words, Seth’s men began to shift, ready to draw their guns.Miranda, still worried, pleaded, "Dad, Nash is definitely on my side."She continued to persuade, "Nash, just listen to my dad. He saved you. As long as no one says anything, no one will know what you're up to. You don't have to worry about being exposed!"Her thoughts were always hopeful.Nash simply observed his surroundings. The vials were well-protected, and there likely wouldn’t be any issues."Nash, you still haven't answered me," Seth pressed.Nash asked, "Wher

Seth's situation was even worse than Sawyer's. Now, he was consumed with rage and had to keep an eye on the outside commotion. The special forces were closing in. Seth needed an escape plan for himself. He called all his men to hold off the special forces and opened a secret escape route. He had prepared this escape tunnel when he built the lab, anticipating a day like this.Seeing Seth attempting to flee, Nash immediately pursued him. Seth glanced back with a cold smile. "Nash, you think it's over? The real show is just beginning!"Without hesitation, Seth activated a mechanism and slipped into the tunnel, quickly locking the hatch behind him. The tunnel was pitch black by the time Nash opened it, with no sign of Seth.Left behind was only a distraught and helpless Miranda, clutching her head. "Nash, Nash!" she called out, still concerned for him.Nash glanced at her with a stern expression, not responding."Captain!" James rushed in, relieved to see Nash unharmed. "Where's S
