A few SUVs with blacked–out windows sped past their car, but the lead SUV suddenly slammed on the brakes and screeched to a halt.

The other vehicles screeched to a halt behind them. The passenger door of the lead car swung open, and out stepped a burly man, built like a tank, gripping an AK–47. That stupid remark earlier came right from him.

One after another, the doors of the other SUVS flew open, and more men stepped out, each one clutching rifles and pistols. Their eyes were cold and vicious. These were the kind of guys who’d killed people before.

Ian and the other two didn’t hesitate for a second. The moment the burly guy finished talking, they already had their guns up and aimed right back at them. Muzzles stared down muzzles. The tension exploded in a heartbeat.

Riley and Artemus had a reputation around here, so even if they were worried deep down, others couldn’t see it on their faces.

Riley took a step forward, without a hint of emotion, shielding Briar, who was still sitting there unmoved, behind him. “Who are you people? We’re from the mercenary group. If you know what’s good for you, don’t ask for trouble.”

Artemus stepped up right after him. “Back off, or don’t blame us for what happens next.”

But no matter how tough they looked, there were only three of them. As for Briar sitting on the stool, the mercenaries didn’t take her seriously.

To them, she was just some scrawny woman, so how much trouble could she possibly cause?

‘She’s been too scared to look up since we stepped out of the car. We all saw it, they thought.

These mercenaries just assumed Briar, who kept calmly grilling her fish, was some ordinary girl scared out of her wits.
