Briar’s marksmanship was superb, or at least, that was what Ashton thought.

So, as Freddie and his bodyguard tried to break out of the established safe zone, Ashton simply stepped aside to give Briar a clear shot.

At the same time, he shifted to another angle to shield Briar from the line of fire of the bodyguards battling

Ian.

Ashton glanced over at Ian, utterly speechless that he had spent two minutes and still hadn’t dealt with a few bodyguards.

‘One of the top eight instructors from the DDC Vanguard Base? His combat skills are pathetic,‘ he thought.

After capturing Freddie, he would have to find time to talk to Jabari. If the instructors‘ combat skills were this poor, how could they dare ask for such a high price for a collaboration?

Ian had no idea that his desperate efforts to buy time for Briar were being thoroughly despised by Ashton.

Briar knelt on the hood, aimed, and fired three shots, blowing out three tires on Freddie’s car.

The car swerved uncontrollably. Inside, a terrified Freddie was tossed about, losing all his usual composure.

“Boss, get out and run! I’ll cover you,” the bodyguard yelled after struggling to control the swerving vehicle and crashing it into a tree.

Blood oozed from the gunshot wound in Freddie’s shoulder, drenching his upper body. He was in a wretched state but had no time to worry about the injury.

Heeding his bodyguard, he nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out. He struggled to keep his balance as he ran toward the woods.

If he could just get out of Ashton’s and Briar’s sight, he might survive. He knew better than anyone just how terrifying Briar could be.

After all, he had watched Briar grow from a naive child, who would only cry when in danger, into an international assassin.

Her abilities and her capacity to learn were as precious as her mother’s blood.

This was also why, despite having numerous opportunities to kill Briar before she was fully capable, he never did.
