Chapter 1084 Came to the Rescue

After Nicole knocked out the thugs, she began to search for an exit. However, there were no other exitsin the room except for the main door. The door was made of steel and was locked from the outside.Nicole pushed it with all her might, but the door didn't budge at all.

She furrowed her brows before turning her head to watch the men on the ground. A few moments ago,she strategically hit the men on their acupoints to knock them out. It wasn't meant to last long. The menwould wake up within a couple of minutes.

If I can't make it out as soon as possible, I'll have to deal with them again.

She found a makeshift crowbar in the room and started to pry the door open, but it had many padlockson it. Even after a few tries, the door did not move.

She started to feel tired. Sweat beads trickled down her face, perhaps due to the warm air in the roomor her fruitless hard work.

Nicole panted, but she didn't stop trying as she adjusted the angle of the crowbar and started overagain. A few moments later, the door clunked open all of a sudden.

She was overjoyed. Just when she reached for the door, she saw a few muscular men standing at theexit.

The thugs on the ground were nothing like the men before her. Their bulging muscles were a clear signthat they were trained.

Taking a few steps back, she scanned them through her narrowed eyes. There were three men at the

door. All three shared the same strong stature. She was no match for them in a fight.

The man standing in the front stepped into the room and glanced at the thugs on the ground. The sightmade him knit his brows. Then, his gaze turned to Nicole's face.

His companion couldn't help but comment, "One against four? She's tougher than she looks!"

The thugs might not be the strongest, but they were still adult men. However, all four of them wereknocked out by Nicole alone, indicating she was more capable than she looked.

The leader decided not to waste time. Thus, he ordered with a frown between his brows, "Hold herdown, and be quick."

The men were wary of the thugs' condition. Therefore, they studied her from the corner of their eyes asthey approached her.

Since their body builds were a signal that they were tougher to deal with than the thugs, Nicole pulledback into the room with a wary look on her face.

Just when a fight was about to break out between the two parties, they heard a crash from the outsideand found the door collapsed to the ground. It was a thick steel door, but the person outside stillmanaged to kick it down, indicating he exerted much force in his attack.

Before the people in the room could react, two tall figures came into their view.

A pang of sadness suddenly struck Nicole at the sight of Colton, and tears began to swim in her eyes.She wasn't afraid of the idea of having the three men surrounding her because she knew she wouldn't

go down without a fight. However, for some inexplicable reason, she felt like she was a mistreated littlegirl when Colton showed up.

Colton could feel his blood boiling when he saw the men on the ground and the other three men staringback at him.

Gabriel rolled up his sleeves. He might look like a gentleman, but he had been trained in the military.As a military official, his father was very strict with him, so before Gabriel took over the family business,his father had him join the army to hone his skills.

The pair didn't say a word as they got to work. They took out their opponents within a few seconds.

Locking eyes with Colton, Nicole rushed toward him and threw herself into his arms. His familiar scentsoothed the tension in her mind. Leaning against his chest, she mumbled through sobs, "I thought I'dnever see you again."

Looking down at the teary woman, Colton reached out a hand and patted her head. Such a sight brokehis heart as he murmured, "It's okay. I'm here now. I'll protect you."
