Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Briar raised an eyebrow and said, “So, I should thank you?”

Feeling awkward, lan scratched his head and said, “No need for thanks. Just don’t beat me up.”

If he hadn’t taken it upon himself to bring Emily along, their operation tonight would have been much smoother. After all, with Emily, the risk of being discovered by Ashton’s people only increased.

Briar smiled and said, “I won’t beat you up tonight.”

‘But after tonight? Well, no promise,‘ she thought.

Briar had seen all kinds of people who had thrown their own family under the bus, but lan was on another level. He didn’t just screw over his teammates; it was as if he was dying to rip off her disguise himself, afraid that she was hiding too well.

With Ashton’s razor–sharp instincts, he would figure out in no time how they managed to sneak two people through a military base and all the way to the

dock.

Once Ashton realized the security footage had been tampered with by a hacker, and knowing lan was just a mercenary who was only good at fighting, Ashton would rule him out right away. That would leave only one possibility.

No matter how well Briar had been keeping up her act, in a situation like this, where all the suspicious points had been eliminated, even the most impossible answer would become the only one left.

‘So yeah, my hacker persona is about to be blown wide open,’ she thought to herself.

After hearing Briar’s analysis, lan kicked Sawyer several times and said, “Briar, it’s my fault. I acted too impulsively. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe! can get a hacker friend to take the fall and say he did it remotely?”

Briar chuckled and said, “That kind of reason might fool others, but Ashton will see right through it. Don’t forget, he’s got Brannon controlling the border forces and a Dark Net at his disposal.”

“Briar, your man is so powerful. He monopolizes most of the big–money gray businesses both in the country and abroad,” lan said, and could no longer
