The Overpowered Son-in-law Suicide bomb
Erik slammed Julia against the wall, his face contorted with rage as he towered over her. His grip tightened around her collar, and he spat his words with venomous intensity. "Who sent you? Where is Lady Isabella? Speak, or I'll make you regret it!"Julia met Erik's furious gaze with a defiant expression. "You think you can intimidate me? Nicholas will tear you apart when he finds out what you've done. He won't rest until he has your head."Enraged by her audacity, Erik lunged at Julia, his fist connecting with her jaw. She stumbled back, but her determination remained unwavering. Blood trickled down her chin as she stared defiantly at him.Breathing heavily, Erik smirked. "You don't understand, do you? This entire area is rigged with explosives. And I hold the detonator." He displayed a small button in his hand, his finger hovering ominously above it. "If I press this, the entire place will go up in flames, along with all the hostages. Your precious Nicholas won't be able to sav
The Overpowered Son-in-law Rescuing Julia
Nicholas tightened his grip on the binoculars as he observed the treacherous mountain road ahead. The rugged terrain of Hollow Creek presented a formidable challenge, but he was undeterred. He had brought a small but highly skilled team from the phoenix army, ready to confront the Crimson raiders and rescue Julia and the other captives from Erik's clutches.Sitting beside Yumi, Nicholas engaged in a conversation about their mission. "Yumi, we have to be prepared for anything. Erik and his men won't give up without a fight. Our priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages and neutralize the threat. We cannot let them harm anyone else."Yumi nodded, her eyes focused on the road ahead. "I understand, Your Highness. We have a strong team, and with the intelligence provided by Lazarus, we have a better chance at success."There was a long pause then Yumi asked, "I'm worried about Julia. Would she be alright?""Julia is tough," Nicholas replied. "She wouldn't back down without a fight
The Overpowered Son-in-law Dismantle those bombs
As the dust settled from the explosion, Nicholas's heart sank at Yumi's revelation. The realization that Hollow Creek was rigged with bombs sent shivers down his spine. The danger had escalated far beyond what he had anticipated. Lives hung in the balance, and every step they took could be their last.With a determined expression, Nicholas approached Yumi, his voice filled with urgency. "We need to find a way to defuse those bombs. Lives are at stake, and we cannot let Erik succeed in his ruthless plan."Yumi nodded, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of the explosives. "We must act swiftly and cautiously. We need to locate the bombs and neutralise them before it's too late."Lazarus joined them. "I'd send my men to accompany you. I'm sure Erik stationed men across the mountain side. If he's crazy enough, he might be attempting suicide bombing."Nicholas was more worried than ever. "We'd take the risk and deactivate the bomb before rescuing anyone."As the three of the
The Overpowered Son-in-law The signal
"Erik Cavanaugh!" Nicholas voice echoed down to Hollow Creek. "I'm calling you out! Come out here you coward!"Erik's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Nicholas's voice calling out to him from afar. The shock washed over him, quickly replaced by a mix of anger and disbelief. He had considered Nicholas a coward, incapable of facing him on the battlefield. Yet here he was, defying Erik's expectations.He stepped outside and snatched his binoculars from the nearby guard. He found Nicholas on the mountain hills with a megaphone. Erik slowly brought down his binoculars and turned to face the others. "Get me a mega phone and double the security. There's no telling what could be out there."As the guards scrambled about, Erik took out the detonator device and held it in his hands. If Nicholas goes on the offensive, this entire ghost town would go off in flames. Nicholas having gotten Erik's attention, he spoke with a determined expression, his voice filled with anger. "You sick bast

They had been waiting for this moment, strategizing and preparing for the rescue of the hostages.Nicholas turned to Lazarus, "That's the signal. Julia and Yumi must've deactivated the last bomb."Lazarus Mann looked convinced, "I believe so too. Let's end this. My men are ready whenever you are."Nicholas, with Lazarus Mann's men, took the lead as they moved swiftly and fast down the outskirts of Hollow Creek. They had to go through the maze of Erik's men, who were stationed throughout the town, ready to defend their leader at all costs.But there was a flaw in Erik's part. His men were disorganized by Julia and Yumi's intrusion. This distraction was part of Nicholas plans all along. A distracted group cannot function. The few vigilant terrorists opened fire at Lazarus Mann's charging men. Both parties exchanged gun fires. As gunfire erupted in the distance, chaos

The faint beeping of medical equipment filled the air, serving as a constant reminder of his current situation.His gaze shifted, and he saw his father, William, sitting beside his bed, his face etched with concern and relief. The sight of his father brought a sense of comfort amidst the confusion that clouded Nicholas's mind."Dad?"

"What in the world just happened? Who could have done this?"Yumi coughed and replied, her voice hoarse. "Could it be... Mrs. Abigail's killer?"Nicholas nodded, his expression determined.

"We cannot afford to panic, Yumi. We need to find a way out of here."Yumi's eyes widened in concern. "But how? We're surrounded by collapsed walls.

He thought a small dose of poison would slowly end my life."Hans was trembling. "How... how did you manage to survive? After taking that poison, I thought..."Rose gaze hardened as she interrupted him. "I returned to Mrs. Abigail, who concocted a cure for me. From that moment on, I started planning my revenge ag
