Nash was in Gorgeous Country.
After encountering the drunk woman, Nash could not just leave her on the roadside. Hence, he got another room at the hotel and placed the drunk woman there. He left her his phone number before turning to leave.
By the time Nash returned to his own room, it was already evening. Darkness had fallen, but Theo still had not woken up.
Just as Nash let his guard down, a figure suddenly darted out of the bathroom. Nash hurried forward to chase it, but the shadow melted into the ground in an instant.
"It has a power similar to Mosley's..." Nash approached to investigate. He bent down and touched the black substance, then smelled it. "This is... gasoline..."
Suddenly, a spark flashed, and before Nash could react, he was engulfed in flames. He then remembered that there seemed to be similar substances inside the room.
It was no wonder Theo had been asleep for so long. He must have been drugged.
Nash was not the real one in danger.
Nash gathered true energy to dispel the flames on his body and immediately rushed back toward the hotel. "I was careless... That guy was probably just a lure. The real target is Theo!"
However, there was one thing that puzzled him. Nash had anticipated such dangers and taken protective measures early on, so why had they not been triggered?
By now, the building was ablaze with roaring flames.
