It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 173

When the monitor room screen went dark, everyone fell into silence. After hearing what Malcolm said, everyone stopped. Enoch focused on other surveillance screens, hoping to see Lucia. However, he only saw five minutes later after the camera was destroyed, the warehouse’s automatic roller shutter door was closed. Now there was no going back for the people inside.

“Damn it! Stop it!” Malcolm roared madly.

At that moment, hard feelings no longer mattered to him. He had also forgotten the mission and responsibility he carried for the Evans family, and all the previous struggle between him and Lowell was in the past. He didn’t want to worry about anything else as long as Lucia could appear safe and sound.

He loved Lucia, the wild and proud woman. But he had destroyed everything Lucia had bit by bit in the cruelest way. He had sent Lucia away from him in person.

“Didn’t you hear me?” Stop it right now,” Malcolm roared, looking at the motionless crowd.

Everyone was exceptionally silent. Byron looked at Enoch. No one dared to speak. To be exact, no one knew how to explain the current situation to Malcolm. In order to prevent Lowell to escape in any way, they had made it so that the roller shutter door could not be opened again once it was closed automatically after the camera was destroyed. This program had been removed, which meant that everything was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.

Because no one believed that there really were people who weren’t afraid of death, and no one believed that some people would be ready to replace others with their own lives. No one believed that when one of them could leave, they would choose to die together. Maybe they didn’t want to die together, but the roller shutter door acted faster and cut off their pension before they made the decision.

“Malcolm, there’s nothing we can do now… There’s no reopening code in the established program. And it’s too late to reset it. The bomb will go off soon,” Enoch said, destroying the last Malcolm’s glimmer of hope.

Looking at the dark surveillance screen, Malcolm suddenly ran away. Enoch quickly pulled Malcolm over. With Enoch’s hint, Byron joined him. No matter how much Malcolm resisted, he couldn’t break free from the grip of these two men at the same time.

“Sir. Evans, calm down. It’s too dangerous to come out now. Everyone present knows what the bomb meant. It’s enough to burn any living creature in the warehouse to ashes. Calm down. Please.” Byron became more anxious than usual.

A loud sound sounded at this time. A thick layer of dust and rubble immediately appeared on another surveillance screen. All the people in the room stood up consciously, looking at the ground, and no one dared to make a sound. Hearing the sound of the explosion, Enoch and Byron released their hold on Malcolm at the same time. They looked at the surveillance screen with disbelief in their eyes. When the thing really happened, everyone’s hearts were touched.

Because no one ever thought things would end like this.

“No…” Malcolm’s voice was so weak and pale.

Panic, shock and despair appeared on Malcolm’s face, which had always been calm and expressionless. When all kinds of emotions were intertwined, such a powerful king also sat on a chair dejectedly. The messy scene on the screen made him a little stunned.

Malcolm looked at the remote in his hand. There was a trace of regret in his dull expression. When he had the chance to take Lucia, he activated the timing system. He was too confident. He had underestimated Lowell’s love for Lucia and Lucia’s stubbornness and indomitability. Step by step, he had forced Lucia to die, and also pushed himself into a situation where there was no way to escape.

Suddenly, Malcolm threw the remote control madly at the monitoring screen, and the metal remote control smashed the screen too forcefully. The debris fell to the ground with crisp sounds. However, in the room, no one stopped Malcolm.

“Malcolm…” Enoch wanted to say something, but he swallowed all the words as soon as he saw Malcolm’s cold eyes.

Without glancing at Enoch, Malcolm suddenly turned and ran out. Byron and Enoch quickly followed him. And the people in the monitoring room began to deal with the mess in the room.

No need to guess, they all knew where Malcolm was going. It took at least fifteen minutes to walk from the surveillance room to the warehouse. Enoch and Byron followed closely behind the runner Malcolm. The sudden sound of the police whistle made them look at each other and quicken their steps. When Malcolm was about to reach the warehouse, they pulled him hard and hid behind a building.

“Malcolm, calm down. The local police have arrived on the scene. The explosion would definitely cause public panic. The problem at our mine is not yet resolved. If you show up rashly, everything will get more out of control.” Enoch quickly analyzed the current situation.

Although Malcolm stopped running, he continued to look in the direction of the warehouse explosion. He didn’t move at all. No words from Enoch came to mind. Malcolm was afraid of the mess before his eyes. He was afraid he would find something related to Lucia in this mess.

The three fell silent at the same time. The corpses that had been killed by the mercenaries along the way were taken into the vehicle by the police. Occasionally, police would call informants to ask questions. After doing a routine check-up, the police cars left. Cordon was placed around the warehouse. There was dead silence.

“Do you want to fall in love with me, Malcolm?”

“Ha ha…How about I call you honey?”

Maybe it was because of the psychological effect, or maybe it was because of the sadness of the moment, all Malcolm could think about at the moment was Lucia’s smiling face. All the sadness, strife and unhappiness were automatically erased from his mind. Suddenly he smiled, which seemed to be the most painful memory.

“Wildcat, in your memory, I should be cold, ruthless and cruel, right?” »

After freeing himself from Enoch and Byron’s grip, Malcolm quickly ran towards the ruins of the warehouse. Its sad roar echoed for a long time in the somewhat empty space. Byron and Enoch also followed him here. They looked at each other and kept a certain distance from Malcolm.

Now Malcolm needed to be alone.

“Byron, send more people to search here,” Malcolm suddenly ordered Byron behind him coldly.

“Yes,” Byron replied respectfully without asking any further questions.

Soon he turned around and left. Enoch shook his head helplessly. It was completely meaningless. There could be no life left after such a strong explosion. Enoch didn’t want to think about it anymore. However, if such a search could make Malcolm give up completely, Enoch would not stop him.

Byron gathered people together as soon as possible, and a large number of people entered the ruins of the warehouse. Fortunately, the warehouse was not a complicated reinforced concrete structure. It wasn’t that difficult to rummage through the broken bricks. A small excavator also entered the scene and searched carefully. Everyone knew the result, but no one dared to complain.

Without leaving, Malcolm stood still. Enoch stood beside him. He couldn’t bear to see the scene before him. When the rubble and gravel were overturned, a faint trace of b***d, as well as the dust from the rubble and the smell of burning flesh, appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The corpses were no longer complete and unrecognizable. Too much explosive force destroyed everything. Everyone lowered their heads and stopped what they were doing. Byron stepped aside so Malcolm could reach him easily. He knew that the last hope in Malcolm’s heart was gone.

“Handle the scene and leave,” Enoch told the other people.

Everyone looked at each other, quickly re-established the cordon set up by the police, and quickly withdrew from the scene of the explosion. Malcolm walked forward with heavy steps and stopped in front of the corpses. He couldn’t tell if it was Lucia’s corpse or Lowell’s. The pungent burning smell constantly stimulated his cerebral nerves. At this moment, his eyes were blank and numb. He wanted to reach out to touch the burned corpses, but when he touched them, he withdrew his hand.

He closed his eyes slightly and stood up silently. Lucia’s defiant face and unruly smile reappeared in his mind. He clenched his fists slightly. He owed Lucia in this life, and he would never have the chance to repay.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Squinting at the source of the light, he moved towards it step by step. He picked up the tiles himself, and the familiar diamond anklet appeared in front of him. Even in such a strong explosion, the diamond could still shine with its dazzling light intact, but at this moment, such light had become the greatest irony in Malcolm’s eyes.

He reached out to pick up the anklet from the ground, gently wiped the dust off the diamond, and then carefully put it in his pants pocket. During the whole process, Enoch did not make a sound but silently watched Malcolm’s every move. When he saw the familiar anklet, Enoch’s heart sank slightly.

He knew Malcolm’s heart was dead in that moment. No matter what happened in the future, no matter whether the curse on the Evans family was true or not, no matter what kind of situation he would face, Malcolm was no longer a man with a heart. His heart was gone with Lucia’s death.

What remained of his body was endless cruelty and cruelty. Even the smile that once bewitched everyone would no longer exist. Because the truest side of Malcolm’s heart had been fully revealed, without any concealment.

Maybe things would change again.

With a quiet sigh, Enoch walked over to Malcolm and placed a hand on his shoulder. After looking at Enoch coldly, Malcolm raised his head slightly, got up and left.

It was all over and buried in South Africa with the explosion.
