Hope Crawls Through Ruins by Kain Rwan Va 319

Chapter 319 

Samuel looked at Nina with an expressionless face. “Do you really not care whether Ruby lives of dies 

Nina didn’t answer him directly. Instead, she fired back, “Why do you think I still came along even though Vincent seat a lousy trap?” 

Vincent’s face changed slightly. He turned to Nina. “So, you knew what I was up to from the moment I called you over guessed what I was planning to do to Ryan?” 

Nina glanced at him. “Vincent, did you ever really understand me?” 

Vincent’s whole body jolted, his eyes filled with shock as the truth finally hit him. 

He thought, ‘Yeah, that’s it!‘ 

‘How could I forget?‘ he mentally kicked himself. 

Ever since she was a kid, Nina always felt insecure. After Scarlet put her through all that training, she became the type in always think things through before making a move. 

She knew he loved her. 

And she knew, once people started talking about her marrying Ryan, Vincent would never just sit back and accept it. 

But for a while, he hadn’t made a single move. Then, out of the blue, he called her up, claiming he had news about Scarlet 

She’d asked him to look into Scarlet, but she was never the type to put all her hopes on just one person. 

She had her own intel network, and she’d already made contact with Samuel long ago. 

When it came to Samuel, Nina understood him better than Vincent ever could. 

Nina knew Samuel would never reveal his whereabouts that easily, so she decided to play a little mind game of her own 

Everything was unfolding just as she schemed. 

And Vincent was still thinking he’d outsmarted everyone. 

Vincent remembered the impostor posing as Nina with Ryan. 

Chances were that side of the plan was going to flop. 

‘No way the man Nina chose would be clueless enough not to spot the real her, Vincent thought 

Ha, turns out, he was just the clown all along. 

Nina didn’t bother with Vincent anymore. She turned to Samuel, her tone steady ‘Last time, I gifted Vincent a few truckloads of explosives. Thought they’d come in handy. So before I showed up today. I had Elaine set up another butch in advance…” 

She paused for a beat, then continued, “You know Elaine, right? Since you know her so well, you should realize that besides being a top designer, she’s got some real pull overseas. If she wants explosives, it’s just a phone call away 

Samuel’s gaze was cold and fixed on Nina, silent.

Chapter 319 

Nina loved seeing that look on people’s faces, wanting her dead, but totally powerless to do anything about it she expert her wrist, showing off her watch. 

“Oh, Grandpa, since you know me so well, you must realize I’m a tech genius, right? I’m not just a whitz at medicine, you know, I’ve got a knack for tech, too!” she said. 

She stretched out her words, milking the moment, then suddenly switched gears. “Guess I forgot, you’re a bit oft–round Grandpa. Tech stuff’s not really your thing, huh? No worries, let me give you a little demo 

Before she could finish, Samuel roared, “Stop!” 

How could him doesn’t have the knowledge of tech stuff? 

If he wanted to make his big move, he had to stay ahead of the game. 

Nina’s watch was a cutting–edge prototype from PrimeTech Innovations, a gadget so new it hadn’t even hit the shelves yo and it could send signals to other systems. 

Its tracking was insanely accurate. 

PrimeTech Innovations was Ethan’s company. 

Ethan definitely didn’t have the skills to pull off something like that. 

Which meant Nina was the real brains behind it. 

Samuel knew better than anyone just how much of a tech prodigy Nina was. If she was flashing that watch. it meant ber people had already surrounded the place. 

And they were packing explosives. 

All Nina had to do was flick her wrist, and those bombs would blow this whole underground palace sky–high. 

Samuel snapped, his body shaking as he glared at Nina. “Are you crazy? If those bombs go off, you’ll die too! Tm your grandfather! All I want is to bring someone back. Are you really willing to throw your life away to ruin my plans?” 

Samuel really thought Nina had gone crazy. 

She doesn’t care about the consequences at all.‘ he wondered. 

And all of this, just to ruin my plan.‘ he can’t believe it 

Nina smiled slyly. “Wrong. I’m not here to ruin your plan: I’m here to save Scarlet. I’m not dying, trust me Oh, and set a half–a–mile safety zone on this watch. No matter how close the bombs get. I’ll walk out unscathed 

“Bullshit!” Samuel roared. “Even if your watch is that accurate, you really think you’ll get out of here without a scratch when this whole palace comes crashing down?” 

“Oh, look at me, almost forgot to tell you, when I had time, I picked up some ancient martial arts. Didn’t much, just figured out how to teleport, So when this place collapses, I’ll just blink out of here. Not even a scratch on me 

Samuel was fuming. “Even if you manage to escape, what about the guy with you? You two grew up together, are you really going to let him die here?” 

Vincent turned his head to look at Nina.

Chapter 319 

He was dying to know if Nins would really leave him t 

“Tik, see? You still don’t get it Nina said, her tone mocking Its not like can only gated to drey bring with me. So. Grandpa, you’re the only one who’s going to get hurt here 

Samuel was left speechless. 

‘Great!’ he sighed 

‘She’s really my granddaughter he wondered. 

Step by step, she’s played me perfectly! he thought 

Nina didn’t waste any more words. She said coolly, “You’ve got two minutes. If I don’t se 

is going up in smoke as my answer! 

Samuel gave Nina a cold, silent glare. 

Nina just stared back at him. 

After a long pause, Samuel finally spoke. “Fine! Just wait 

In Betrico, inside a five–star restaurant. 

Ryan sat across from the fake Nina, a plate of medium–rare steak set between them. 

The fake Nina poured Ryan a glass of red wine. “Since we tied the knot, we’ve never really sat down for a peaceful meal together, have we? Ryan, let’s just enjoy this moment. I’m done worrying about everything else. Tonight, it’s just you and 

1. me. 

Ryan leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze lingering on the woman across from him. Suddenly, he glanced at his wanch Almost time, Ryan thought to himself. 

His hand drummed lightly on the armrest, his tone cold and unreadable. Ryan’s voice gave nothing away as he askst 18 sent you?” 

The fake Nina’s heart lurched at his words, and she almost spilled her wine. 

Wasn’t Ryan supposed to not notice anything wrong?‘ she thought. 

Wasn’t everything going smoothly between us?‘ she wondered. 

How did Ryan catch on so quickly?‘ she thought. 

The fake Nina tried to defend herself, but before she could get a word out, two big bodyguards rushed forward and grabbed her, holding her down. 

Ryan stood up, his voice cold as ice. “Rip that mask off her face!” 

The fake Nina was shocked, but she quickly got the picture and started begging for mercy. ‘No, please! Don’t do this to me! 1 was forced to take some weird drugs and parasites. Please, don’t hurt me! I’ll confess, I’ll tell you everything!” 

Before the plan started, the young master had laid out everything. If Ryan ever caught on, she had to grovel and beg for mercy, no matter what.

Sure enough, just as the young master predicted, Ryan waved his hand and the two bodyguards instantly relevond her 

The fake Nina met Ryan’s gaze. “I was, ” 

But before she could finish, she suddenly tossed a handful of powder at Ryan with a quick motion 

Ryan instantly dropped to the floor, as if on cue.
