Chapter 730 Coercion and Inducement

James chuckled. “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t remove that coat, it won’t explode on its own.”
Erik became even more frightened.
Although the bomb was small, the gunpowder inside was highly
potent.
Moreover, the bomb was positioned to detonate when it was 3.3 feet away from Erik, enough to cause significant destruction.
Swallowing nervously, Erik asked, “Apart from me removing it, how else could it explode?”
Michael was busy adjusting the monitoring device, which he would give to Erik later.
“If you say something you shouldn’t say, it will explode. And you know very well what you shouldn’t say,” Michael replied.
Erik looked at James and Michael, blinking his eyes as he pondered the situation.
James saw through his thoughts and said, “Don’t even think about taking your own life. Your mother is still in the hospital.”

Erik’s eyes turned fierce. “You’re using my mother to threaten
me?”
James raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”
“In that case, what’s the difference between you and the woman who asked me to do something?” Erik said.
They were all using his weaknesses to force him to do things he didn’t want to do!
James responded, “Of course, there’s a difference. If you hadn’t attacked Chloe first, I wouldn’t have bothered to deal with you, let alone your mother.”
James, being a soldier, valued fairness, but he also understood the need for tricks and negotiations on the battlefield.
Coercion and inducement had always proven effective tools.
Erik questioned, “So, after this is over, what are you going to do with me? Or rather, how are you planning to kill me?”
Erik felt that now that he had fallen into the hands of James and Michael, he wouldn’t be able to survive.
He had been hanging on by a thread all his life and had grown accustomed to it.
James said, “What about making you spend the rest of your life in prison?”

“Enough. It’s almost time,” Michael uttered is brede,
Then, he took Erik out and put him into the car,

They arrived at the agreed–upon location, where Windy and James sat in the car, silently observing Brik from their position
The appointed time was 11:00 am.
As it drew closer, James and Michael stared intently, hoping to catch a clear glimpse of the other party’s appearance.
They had been waiting for quite some time, yet Erik remained the only person sitting there.
James checked the time and found it was already noon
It had been an hour since the scheduled time, and even if the other party had been cautious and wanted to verify if Erik had come alone, it shouldn’t have taken this long
Through Erik’s earphones, Michael asked, “Where is she?”
Erik gazed straight ahead and replied, “How would I know?”
He wasn’t responsible for communication with the other party, so he had no idea why she hadn’t shown up yet.

This response surprised Erik. He hadn’t expected that James and Michael would send him to jail.
“Enough. It’s almost time,” Michael uttered in a low voice.
Then, he took Erik out and put him into the car.

James and Michael immediately became alert, settling back into the car to observe the unfolding situation.
Erik looked at the woman and asked, “So it was you who wanted me to attack Chloe?”
The woman smiled, “Yes, it was me.”
From their advantageous point, James and Michael were able to see the woman’s face clearly. However, they couldn’t recognize her.
What had happened between this woman and Chloe?
Michael leaned closer to the microphone and asked, “Ask her why she wanted you to attack Chloe and what conflict they have.”
