Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

As soon as Brandon stepped out of the car, his men lit up with excitement. One of them couldn’t hold back and shouted, “Brandon, can we start now? We’re all itching to get going.“,

Their hands seemed to have a mind of their own, itching to do something.

Brandon casually slipped one hand into his pocket and took the AK–47 from a nearby man with a grin. “Can’t wait, huh?”

Everyone responded in unison, their voices booming, “We can’t wait!”

The faces of the scrapyard’s bodyguards went pale as they thought, ‘Brandon? Which Brandon? Could it be Ashton’s right–hand man, Brandon?‘

One of the bodyguards recognized Brandon and blurted out, “It’s really Brandon. Boss, what do we do? Are we still going to fight?”

The head bodyguard smacked his subordinate on the head. “Fight? You think we’ll live to tell the tale if we do?”

The subordinate protested, looking wronged. “But you always say, ‘We take the money, we fix the problem.‘ Isn’t that your rule, boss?”

The head bodyguard said nervously, “Yeah, but you’ve got to know who you’re dealing with. Put your guns away and fall back.”

He thought, ‘Sure, you take the money to fix someone’s mess, but only if you’re still alive to spend it.‘

The subordinate shot a look at the head bodyguard, who was already backing off, and pursed his lips, thinking, ‘Look at you, acting all scared. Some boss

you are!‘

Still, the subordinate didn’t dare disobey, and he followed the head bodyguard, stepping aside to clear the way.

He wasn’t being a coward; he was just knowing when to back down.

Brandon’s men were left dumbfounded.

They thought, ‘Seriously? You’re throwing in the towel before the fight even starts?‘

“Hey, what’s wrong with you guys? You’ve got guns in your hands. Why are you chickening out? Stop hiding and come at us,” Brandon taunted.

Brandon was both amused and exasperated by the bodyguards‘ antics. He didn’t expect that after so many years, Ashton’s name still scared people this

much.

“So what are we waiting for? Let’s go in and capture Hayden,” Briar called out from behind. Before Brandon could even reply, she took the lead and walked right in.

As she passed the group of bodyguards clutching their guns, Briar strolled in like she owned the place, not even bothering to spare them a glance.

Brandon wouldn’t dare let Briar go in there by herself. The bodyguards at the door might be cowards who’d back down at the mention of Ashton, but the ones sticking close to Hayden were ruthless thugs with blood on their hands. They only cared about money and wouldn’t show mercy just because Briar
