Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Honestly, Ashton couldn’t be bothered with this so–called Garza family. They weren’t even on the radar of Shoneport’s top tier families, so it made sense that he didn’t know much about them.

Both Ashton and Hamish turned their eyes to Reece, who instantly lit up. Reece had people from all walks of life under his wing. When it came to the city’s hidden corners and shady dealings, there was hardly anything he didn’t know.

Reece rubbed his short, prickly hair and spoke up, saying, “The Garza family has roots that trace back to the Galarza family. A long time ago, during some tough times, they changed their last name to Garza to stay under the radar and avoid trouble. Even after things improved and they moved to Shoneport, they never really caught the attention of the wealthy people around here. Most of their business dealings are a bit shady and happen mostly overseas they hardly interact with people in our community.”

Hamish, clearly getting annoyed, cut in, “Reece, just get to the point. Tell us about this Hayden guy.”

Briar and Frank nodded in understanding before Frank added, “Yeah, spill more information about that guy.”

Reece chuckled, “His name’s Hayden. He is the youngest in the Garza family, just 20 years old. He is incredibly intelligent, and he holds a double from Atrington University overseas. He only returned this year, and met Emily at a banquet…”

As he spoke, Reece glanced at Hamish before adding, “Oh, and that banquet? It is the one your family hosted.”

Hamish was left speechless.

“So what’s Hayden into these days?” Ashton, who’d been silent this whole time, finally zeroed in on the real question.

Reece shot a glance at Ashton, who wasn’t in a good mood, and replied, “Gray market stuff. Ashton, you know how it goes…”

A lot of things like looting and violence were legal abroad, and nobody even bats an eye at it.

Ashton nodded in understanding, then slowly turned to Briar, who was practically buzzing with curiosity. He asked gently, “Briar, you said you wanted to handle this guy yourself, right?”

Briar raised an eyebrow, quickly catching on to what Ashton meant. She probed, “Ashton, what are you planning? As long as you don’t kill him or ruin their plans, I’m fine with whatever.”

“Alright,” Ashton replied as he ruffled Briar’s hair before turning his gaze to Reece. “I will get my men to take care of him.”
