CHAPTER 1029 ROGER’S DEPARTURE

Roger and Ray stayed at the villa for the whole week and felt relieved after seeing that Undercity didn'tmake a move.

Since Roger was in charge of most of the miscellaneous things at Lome, not to mention that they haddispatched many members here because of what happened to Nicole, it was time for Roger and Roy toreturn after their one-week stay.

"Boss, there are still matters to be dealt with in Lome, so it's about time we return to check up on them,"Roger informed Nicole.

Nicole nodded while looking at the man. "Sure. You can head back."

Nodding, Roger added, "If there's anything to follow up on, just call me and I'll come straight over."

Nicole looked at his serious expression before moving her gaze from his face to his arm. A long scarran from his arm to his wrist. Although they managed to deal with the wound quickly, the scar waspermanent.

Nicole's gaze dimmed and she pondered momentarily before asking, "Roger, have you ever thought ofquitting?"

Roger was slightly shocked upon hearing the sudden question. A while later, he smiled bitterly as helooked into Nicole's eyes, explaining, "Boss, people like us are used to spending our days in violence.I'm already feeling a little restless after staying with you for a week, let alone quitting.

"That answer made Nicole feel upset. There were basically no elderly in Lome, but it wasn't becausethey didn't welcome older people. It was because once those members became older, their energycouldn't keep up with them during missions, and they would accidentally die under the enemy's attack.

Roger wasn't that old. He was in his thirties and in his prime, but he was bound to grow old.

"Even if Lome stops its line of business, I now have the ability to provide for all of you!" Nicole spokedeterminedly.

She didn't want to watch Roger and the others die.

When Roger heard what she said, he grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. "Boss, don't fret. We'reused to living dangerous lives. Perhaps it's because we're such that we cherish our lives even more."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Roger, Nicole said nothing. Instead, she sighed softly andmurmured, "Then all of you should be more careful. Tell me if you need money."

"Sure. I understand. Although Colton is shrewd, he's quite capable, so I feel assured knowing thatyou're with him." Roger had an indistinguishable gentleness in his voice when he said that.

Nicole didn't say anything and nodded in response.

Seeing the two of them being so inseparable, Colton couldn't take it anymore and came over. Hewrapped his arm around Nicole's waist and looked at Roger. "Return to where you came from and takegood care of Lome. You don't have to worry about anything else. I will protect Nicky."

After Colton finished, he heard Roger snort and mocked, "Protect her? But you didn't manage to do sowhen she was at the hospital."

Watching the two grow more hostile toward each other, Nicole spoke up to break the fight. "Alright,alright. Stop arguing! Roger is going back today, so stop provoking him."

In the end, both men obediently stopped arguing.

Colton arranged for a private plane to send Roger and Roy back. Once they were gone, he smiled insatisfaction as he held Nicole in his arms and buried his head in the crook of her neck. "They're finallygone. Otherwise, I can't even be affectionate with you."
