Xavion was quick on the investigation. Just half an hour later, he sent over all the information about Darius, including every move he made abroad.

Then, lan said in shock, “Briar, you know what? Darius has a younger brother named Boyden Graham, and he’s a notorious arms dealer who’s always drifting along the border…”

Briar raised an eyebrow and leaned next to lan to check out the files. “An arms dealer who roams the border? Ashton, does Connor know about someone like this?”

‘Logically speaking, a guy like that should be a top priority for Connor, the head of the overseas mercenaries, right?‘ Briar thought. ‘How could Ashton have absolutely no recollection of Darius and Boyden?‘

Hearing this, even the usually unflappable Ashton was surprised. “An arms dealer working the border? How come I’ve never heard Connor mention him?”

Briar handed the files over to Ashton. “Yeah, and his arms business is no small operation! He just never dared to cross paths with Connor.”

With someone as ruthless as Connor running the border mercenaries, there was no way he’d let a rat like that stir up trouble and throw his weight around on his turf.

Ashton looked at Brandon. “Get in touch with Connor and ask him about this.”

Brandon nodded. “Got it.”

It was strange. Brandon had never heard Connor mention these guys either. It was as if Darius and Boyden had just appeared out of thin air.

Sure enough, when Brandon called Connor to ask about the arms dealer on the border, Connor was in the dark.

Now, not only was Brandon getting nervous, but even Ashton was starting to lose his cool.

He took Brandon’s phone and told Connor on the other end, “Connor, I’ve already sent you the info Xavion dug up on Darius and Boyden. You have two days to get to the bottom of this. We’re heading to the border the day after tomorrow.”

Connor replied awkwardly, “Understood, Mr. Wade. I’ll look into it right away.”

Ashton vanished completely. He turned to Brandon and said, “Get things
