Chapter 729:
“Look after him. I'll deal with everything else when I'm back,” she said firmly.
She cut off the communication device without waiting for a reply.
Verruckt’s keen instincts were a problem, and she had no way of knowing if he'd already noticed something was
wrong. Either way, she couldn't waste t— she needed him awake now. The clock was ticking. The moment
the police uncovered the mafia’s trail, the lab would connect the dots, and this factory wouldn't stay hidden for
long.
Without a second thought, she kicked Verruckt’s leg sharply, ensuring that the pain would jolt him awake.
“Ugh,” Verruckt groaned as the sharp pain jolted him awake. His eyes fluttered open, and the first thing he
noticed was Allison’s face. She looked both worried and scared. Her hair was a bit messy, with loose strands
framing her temples. Her hands were smeared with blood, and her teary eyes glimmered as though she'd just
experienced a genuine fright.
“Mr. Shaw, you're finally awake,” Allison said, her voice laced with concern as she pressed her fingers against
one of his wounds.
As his senses returned, Verruckt grimaced. His body ached like he'd been run over by a train.

into a bad neighborhood. | got lost... and a one-eyed man kidnappedand draggedhere.”
She wiped at her eyes, forcing tears to roll down, her voice breaking as though she were truly distressed.
“They draggedto a warehouse,” Allison continued, her voice trembling. “Right when they were about to do
something, another group barged in and took them down. While | was trying to get away, | spotted you. | was
scared they might cback, so | brought you here to hide.”
Her eyes darted around nervously as if she’d just realized something unsettling.
“I don’t even know where we are,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Verruckt frowned and glanced around. The air carried a stale, metallic scent, and the crumbling walls gave it
away — this was clearly an old, abandoned factory.
Although the setting was bleak, with every corner exuding despair, its isolation offered a peculiar sense of safety
amid the chaos.
