Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 130

This bloody scene stunned everyone in the hall into silence. For a moment, only the groans of the captured men could be heard. Everyone was staring at Briar, who was surrounded by a chilling, murderous aura. No one spoke.

It wasn’t until quite a while later that Hamish let out a playful whistle and sincerely praised, “Wow! That was badass.”

No one had expected that the seemingly frail Briar could fight like that. The way the knife had been stabbed into the man’s body was masterful. It was close to the heart. It was enough to maim, but not to kill.

Ashton had already reached Briar, kicking away the injured man at her feet, then began checking her up and down carefully.

After confirming that she was unharmed, he finally managed to suppress the rage burning in his chest and asked in a low voice, “Are you hurt?”

Briar was wearing a white T–shirt today, with a long–sleeved black plaid shirt on top. The shirt, which had been open before, was now fully buttoned all the way to the collar.

She had buttoned it up only after entering the interrogation room. Perhaps in case she got hurt, and he wouldn’t see.

Worried she might have gotten injured but was hiding it from him, Ashton gently asked again.

“Nope.” Briar shook her head, eyes glinting playfully, her tone even carrying a light chuckle. “That guy was too weak.”

He really was. She’d knocked him down with a few kicks, and when he panicked, he even tried to slash her with a knife….

Seeing that she still had the mood to joke, Ashton finally relaxed.

He grabbed a few tissues from a nearby desk and took her hand, carefully wiping the blood off each of her delicate fingers.

Then he placed her behind him protectively and turned his cold gaze on Ronan, who was sweating profusely.
