When Briar turned to look for the man in black, he had vanished, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

For a time, Briar believed the assassins had taken the man in black, and she searched for him frantically.

She feared the man in black would die in vain, just like the leader of their Hacker Alliance.

Later, the man in black who took a bullet for her became a weight on her conscience, and she felt incredibly guilty whenever she thought of him.

In the end, Ashton revealed to her in the most direct way that he was the mysterious, super–rich man who had bought her formula.

He was also the man in black she had been looking for so many years…

Ashton explained everything to Briar, “That’s basically what happened. Connor and his men rescued me after I was injured. I wasn’t intentionally avoiding you.

“As you know, a gunshot wound takes a long time to heal.

“Besides, I was the future head of the Wade family back then, so I couldn’t let anyone know I was injured.

“So, I returned to the 121 overseas organization to recover and had no idea you were searching for me everywhere.”

Ashton’s voice grew more forlorn and emotional as he spoke, “Besides, if I had known you were so worried and searching everywhere for me, I would have come to you, even with my injuries…”

“Oh, give me a break,” Briar said irritably. “Why would you have looked for me? Didn’t you find me later? You used the identity of a mysterious billionaire to buy three vials of truth serum from me.”

Ashton fell silent, not daring to continue the conversation.

At the time, Briar was just a young girl, and he had approached her solely for the truth serum she possessed.

But of course, Ashton wouldn’t dare say that.

Briar was still fuming. She crossed her arms, tilted her chin up, and scrutinized Ashton. “Be honest. Are you hiding any other secrets from me?”
