Chapter 1151 5 Million

The van soon arrived at the base on the outskirts. The science academy had poured a considerablesum into building this base. There were even rumors that shady deals with the black market had alsobeen exchanged to build this place.

A few burly men roughly manhandled Nicole as she was weak since the drug had not worn off.

A big man grabbed her, and his gaze turned lewd when he noticed the ripped shirt on her chest. Hestarted to stare at the skin on display.

She had goosebumps when she noticed his gaze. Then, she tightened her fist as she mustered hercourage and shouted, "How much did the Yaels pay you? I can pay you triple as long as you let mego!"

The men couldn't help but laugh at her and looked at her in amusement. "Triple? I doubt you can eventake a few hundred from your pocket by the looks of it. Stop pulling our leg."

She suppressed the fear in her heart and continued to offer, "I really have that kind of money. You justneed to let me go and I'll transfer the money right away."

The men were rather swayed by Nicole's claim as the Yaels paid them a handsome sum. If Nicolecould pay them triple the amount, they would be making a fortune.

One of the men couldn't hold back his anticipation and inquired impatiently, "Can you give us amillion?"

Nicole immediately answered, "Yes. I can give each of you a million as long as you guys let me go."

Those words were such a temptation that the other man could barely restrain the greed in his eyes.

Just as they were pondering the matter, a person suddenly spoke up, "You idiots! Do you think youcould live to spend that money if we crossed the science academy?"

This reminded them that they couldn't go against the promise no matter the amount Nicole could givethem.

They knew what the science academy was involved in. If they let Nicole go, they would be next.

They had assisted the academy in several shady activities over the years such as communicating withthe black market and selling bodies and organs under the table. None of these transactions could seethe light of day, especially when they earned big bucks through their work with the science academy.So, they knew which party to prioritize.

The few men looked at Nicole with sad looks. "Even though your price is very tempting, sorry. If webetray the science academy, we won't even have the chance to enjoy that money. So, sorry, girl."

"That's right. But what we can do now is let you enjoy yourself a little before you die. Don't you thinkthat's great?" A roar of raucous laughter burst out at that suggestion.

Nicole clenched her fist as she knew Colton would come. So, all she needed to do was to stall for time.

Her bright eyes looked up and landed on the few men. Then, she shut her eyes and told them in ahoarse voice, "I can give you guys 5 million. Right now. But you can't touch me!"

Even if she died, she wanted to die with honor, without anyone soiling her.

"Sure. Give us the money now and I'll give you an easy death." The lead man laughed.

Nicole gestured for them to untie her. The men looked at her petite body and deemed that she wasn't athreat. So, they let their guard down and untied her.

After she was untied, she started to massage her hands as she glanced at the men while searching forher phone.

As expected, her phone was taken away earlier.

Nicole turned to look at the lead man and said softly, "Please return my phone to me. Then, I cantransfer the money to you."

The man looked at her with skepticism. "Are you really going to transfer 5 million to us?"

She nodded and said with a smile, "What do you have to lose? I can't do anything else now that I haveyou guys watching my every move. Hand my phone to me. I'll make the transfer right away."
