Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 435

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Carlisle glanced at the clock. It was only 6:00 am.

Devoid of any desire to sleep, he decided to get up and go for a morning jog. During his jog, Francis received a call informing him that he had just arrived in Riverland due to a traffic jam.

Carlisle sat on the bench to catch his breath.

With a slight pant, he said, "Where's the security team you promised to find me?" "They're already in Riverland. I'll have them gather at Willow Grove," Francis replied.

Carlisle then ended his morning jog and returned to Willow Grove.

Meanwhile, outside Willow Grove, seven nondescript men with buzz-cut hairstyles gathered and engaged in lively conversation. They were seasoned special forces veterans, having served longer than Francis in the military.

After being discharged, they were dissatisfied with the job opportunities provided by the government and harbored ambitions to carve out a new path. However, they encountered repeated setbacks in their careers.

Hence, when Francis told them that his boss would offer a salary of at least five thousand, they accepted the job without hesitation. In fact, they would have been grateful even for a job offering only a thousand dollars.

Hands in pockets, Wendell Webb asked skeptically, "Francis, what exactly does your boss do? Just to be clear, if this job involves anything shady, count me out!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Francis sighed in response.
