Chapter 690

For some reason, Nicole didn't want to tell Colton about how she and Zachary had kissed.

Colton raised his chin. He had a feeling that it wasn't a simple matter at all, but he couldn't pinpoint what the

problem was.

Not wanting Colton to continue on the topic, she changed the subject and asked, "Shouldn't you be at the hospital?

What happened to the security guard who saved you?"

Thinking of Sasha's injury, Colton frowned once more.

"It's nothing serious. The bullet was stuck in the bone, so a minor operation was needed. The person is fine now."

Nicole lowered her voice and continued asking, "Who do you think is behind this?"

Colton stared at Nicole, knowing that she was trying to change the subject, but he played along with her.

"Undercity."

"You think someone from Undercity wants to kill you?" She stared at him while asking.

Ever since Hayden's identity was exposed, she and Colton were almost inseparable, so it didn't seem like Colton had

offended Undercity again. In that case, why would he be their target?

"Yes." Colton nodded in response.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while. He was the leader of Wolf, so after a quick deduction, there were no

more than five people who knew about his identity. Moreover, the five of them were trustable men to him. Another

possibility would be that someone hired Undercity to murder him.

It was not uncommon for Undercity since they were an organization that would carry out missions after getting

paid.

"There are two possibilities. One, someone in Undercity intends to kill me. Two, Gardner Corporation's competitor

paid them to kill me."

"What's your plan, then?" inquired Nicole as she raised her head. Although they avoided it this time, there were still

unidentified dangers. Besides, the enemy hid in the dark. Hence, they wouldn't be able to find out when the enemy

would attack again.

"I've contacted the leader of Undercity and will have a talk with him tomorrow," Colton went straight to the point.

No matter which possibility it was, Undercity had attacked him too frequently. He had to teach them a lesson to

frighten them.

Raising her brow, Nicole asked, "Do you think the leader of Undercity will tell you who tried to kill you?"

"No," Colton replied without hesitation. With a slight smile on his face, he explained, "Honesty matters most in the

business world. The reason why Undercity hasn't fallen and is still standing strong for so many years is that they

never disclose their client's information."

The same went for Wolf. Although they didn't accept requests for murder, they still offered munitions and

bodyguards. For a secretive organization like theirs, it was a huge taboo to reveal the identity of the client.

"Aren't you walking into a trap, then?" Nicole asked while looking up at him, unable to fathom his intentions. If he

couldn't get the client's information, then what was the use of meeting the leader of Undercity?

Seeing the worried look on Nicole's face, Colton instantly felt better. He then caressed her cheeks and smiled.

"It'll be helpful that I meet him. Besides, if I can't stop them, then I will pay for my life. Once Undercity accepts the

money, it will be easier to negotiate with them."

Nicole understood now. She then pushed away his improper hand and uttered, "You're going to cut off everything

bad that comes your way by using money."

With a smile in his eyes, Colton nodded slowly. "That is one way to put it."

Nicole grasped his idea. Even though it was a dumb way, it worked. However, she was still concerned about his

safety, so she reminded him, "Be prepared when you meet him. If they have any intentions to do something

unfavorable to you, at least be prepared."
