In the thick of the mounting tension, a frantic shout pierced the air, “Miles, stop!”
The one attempting to hold Miles back was none other than Stretch. Through Stretch’s eyes, Miles seemed on a self-destructive path, but Stretch had a fervent desire to stay alive. He was anxious that Miles might jeopardize the deal they were in the midst of finalizing.
Yet, Stretch felt overwhelmed with helplessness. He was unequipped to restrain Miles. Despite possessing a ghostly power, Stretch was unable to tap into it given his current condition. Furthermore, if he dared to physically intervene, there was no predicting Miles’s reaction. The unpredictable Miles might very well retaliate and shoot Stretch where he stood.
Out of nowhere, the chilling sound of a gunshot pierced the silence, its echo bouncing off the fields flanking the road.
Surprisingly, the anticipated gruesome scene did not unfold. There was no bloody mess. The bullet had cleanly traveled through Wesley’s head, coming to rest on the road behind him, its only evidence being a bullet hole.
Confused, Miles scrunched his eyebrows, preparing to fire another round.
However, before he could pull the trigger again, an intervening voice declared, “The blame lies with me, not Wesley. I was the one who authorized the file’s deletion. Wesley was merely executing tasks on the company’s behalf. He’s technically innocent.”
Shortly after, a group of unique individuals made their appearance, emerging from a car parked nearby. At the forefront was a seemingly average young man, around twenty-five, donning a pristine white lab coat. He was accompanied by a team of security personnel.
