Gulp!

Staring at the phone in his hand that was constantly emitting a harsh ringtone, Nelson couldn't help but swallow hard. He appeared extremely terrified.

He swore, he had never been so afraid to answer a call as he was today!

At this moment, Nelson's heart was immersed in a state of panic, a feeling of fear as if a mountain was pressing on his heart, making his chest feel oppressed, and he was nearly unable to breathe!

The phone's ringtone kept ringing without end, and the piercing sound became even more eerie at this moment!

Thinking of this, Nelson's breathing became even more rapid. At this moment, he took a deep breath and then hardened his resolve, pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said, "Hello?!"

With this statement, Nelson's voice carried a slight tremble. He looked utterly terrified, like a frightened little chick, appearing completely helpless.

"Mr. Nelson, do you like the gift we sent you?"

Just as Nelson finished speaking, an extraordinarily deep voice came through, sounding incredibly somber, with a hint of mockery.

Buzz!

Upon hearing this sentence, Nelson's scalp instantly went numb.

Gift? What gift!?

Thinking of this, Nelson couldn't help but glance up, and in an instant, he saw the Maserati burning fiercely in front of him. His heart couldn't help but shiver!

Could it be that the so-called gift on the phone is his own Maserati that's on fire!?

Gulp!

Thinking of this, Nelson swallowed hard, looking at the burning Maserati in front of him, he took a deep breath and said, "The gift you're talking about is..."

"Of course, it's the Maserati burning in front of you!"

Before Nelson could finish speaking, a voice instantly came through the phone, with a tone of utter mockery.

So it's true!

Upon hearing this, Nelson's entire body shivered!

It really was the case; the 'gift' that the grim voice on the phone referred to was indeed his Maserati that was burning!

"What, what do you want to do!?"

Thinking of this, Nelson opened his mouth and said, "What do you want to do to me?!"

In his words, Nelson's voice was raised significantly, conveying a sense of panic that was hard to conceal. Looking at the Maserati burning fiercely in front of him, his whole body was filled with fear.

"What do we want to do?"

Upon hearing Nelson's words, the ominous man on the phone said, "We are merely following an important person's orders to give you a memorable warning!"

Speaking of which, the ominous man on the phone continued, "Oh, and lest I forget to tell you, this is just a simple warning. We don't want your life, but if you dare to continue defying the important person's will, you'll find nowhere to hide, not in all of Europe, not even the world!"

"If we want, neither your friends nor family will be spared, so here's a piece of advice - obediently follow the orders of that 'important person,' or next time, it won't just be the Maserati that burns!"

In his words, the man's ominous voice conveyed a trace of threat, a threat so dark and cold that it made Nelson's whole body tremble uncontrollably!

The next thing that burns won't just be the Maserati!

Upon hearing this, Nelson was utterly dumbfounded. He fully understood the subtext of these words.

The subtext of this was, if he didn't listen to that 'important person,' then the next thing to burn would be himself!

Instantly thinking of this, feelings of panic, dread, and helplessness surged through Nelson's heart, paralyzing him, making breathing difficult.

"Who, who are you guys?"

After taking two heavy breaths, Nelson quickly asked, "Who are you really?"

At this point, Nelson had a faint suspicion that the 'important person' referred to on the phone was likely the 'Manager Lu' he spoke with yesterday!

He wanted to know exactly who these people on the phone were!

"There is no absolute truth in the world, every restraint can be broken, we live in darkness but serve the light."

Upon hearing Nelson's query, a series of cold chants came from the phone: "We are assassins!"

Boom!

With these words, Nelson felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body trembling, standing frozen at the scene, not knowing what to do!

There is no absolute truth in the world, every restraint can be broken, living in darkness but serving light!

These words were dogma widely circulated within the Assassin Alliance!

He had actually received a threat from the Assassin Alliance!

Now Nelson was truly scared stiff; he never imagined that at this moment, the Assassin Alliance would actually come looking for him!

The more he thought about it, the more Nelson's body felt as if it was in the depths of a frigid winter, chilling him to the bone!

"My advice is over; take care of yourself!"

At this moment, while Nelson was still in unimaginable panic, the ominous voice on the phone spoke again, and with this voice, the call was abruptly ended.

Listening to the busy signals on the phone, Nelson was dumbfounded, looking at the burning Maserati in front of him, his gaze vacant, eyes unfocused, unable to articulate his fear and dread!

'If we want, neither your friends nor family will be spared...'

'This time it's just a simple warning, we don't want your life, but if you dare continue defying the important person's will, you'll find nowhere to hide, not in all of Europe, not even the world!'

At this moment, every word seemed like a sharp spike, stabbing deeply into Nelson's heart, making his whole body shiver, filled with unbearable fear!

Such threats truly filled him with waves of fear and anxiety.

"It's him!"

Thinking of this, Nelson resolutely said, his words full of panic, "This must have been done by that Manager Lu!"

Yesterday, Manager Lu had just called him, and today, the Assassin Alliance had given him a "memorable warning," connecting the dots, it was obvious that Lu Yu was behind this!

Thinking of this, Nelson grabbed his phone, found Lu Yu's number in the call history, took a deep breath, and immediately pressed the call button!

Even Nelson himself hadn't noticed that the time now was precisely the same as when he had called Lu Yu yesterday!
