Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

:

Now that the men had left and the fish was finished, Ashton wanted to coax Briar back to the villa.

But Briar clearly hadn’t had enough fun. “We haven’t gone to that stronghold to catch them yet! Ashton, you can go back first!”

Ashton said, “Brandon and Connor already searched the first two hideouts and didn’t find anyone. They should be arriving at the third one soon. Let them handle the capture.”

Briar shook her head. “I want to go and catch them myself.”

Ashton said helplessly, “Then I’ll go with you.”

They had been stopped by thugs before even reaching their destination. Although it turned out well, Ashton couldn’t feel at ease letting Briar run around alone.

Briar had wanted to say he didn’t need to come. With her and her three bodyguards‘ combat strength, if they ran into bad guys again, it was hard to say who would be bullied.

But Ashton was firm, so Briar had no choice but to obediently get into his car.

And so, the group drove toward the third stronghold.

With Ashton joining them, Riley and Artemus were even more vigilant along the way.

It was simple. On the border, Briar was a nobody. Apart from her beauty, she didn’t attract much attention wherever she went.

Of course, encountering Ismael and his clueless men at the Maysay River was an accident.

But Ashton was different.

Although Ashton hadn’t been seen on the border for many years, his face was so recognizable. Everyone would be thrilled to see him.

Ashton’s face was a walking fortune, a ticket to fame and glory. Those who were wary of their mercenary organization might see him and just feel a pang of envy.
