Briar thought, ‘Precautions in advance?

‘Precautions against what?

“To stop her from getting addicted to killing and losing control? Or to prevent her from going on a killing spree that would be difficult to clean up?‘

Briar gave Ashton a slight smile but said nothing, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in his words.

Reece, who loved watching drama unfold, chimed in, “Briar, you can’t blame Ashton. You are one of the eight instructors at the renowned DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base. Ashton… is scared!”

Hamish coughed lightly, reminding Reece not to be so obvious about sowing discord, or Ashton would make them pay.

Ashton was not the type to take a loss lying down.

Reece snuck a glance at Ashton. Upon seeing the smile on his lips and that he didn’t seem angry, Reece grew bolder, saying, “Ashton, don’t you agree? I was putting in a good word for you and Briar out of brotherly love.”

Ashton smiled. “Excellent. You’re a true friend. Thank you.”

Reece waved his hand. “Don’t mention it. It’s the least I could do… Ouch, holy crap!”

Before he could finish his words, Reece saw Ashton take a gun from a nearby bodyguard and cock it. Terrified, Reece bolted.

Hamish shook his head helplessly and thought, ‘Why did Reece have to go and provoke Ashton, the cunning fox? Ashton doesn’t wait long to get his revenge.

Reece bolted toward the door, and Ashton chased him out, looking like they were ready for a hard fight.

Briar only glanced over for a moment before looking away. She turned to Hamish and asked, “Hamish, is there something you want to tell me?”

Hamish paused, surprised, then smiled. “It seems Reece and I fooled Ashton with our performance, but we couldn’t fool you.”

Briar told Alexia and Alex, who had finished their commotion, “You two can leave us. Go and guard the door. Don’t let Ashton in.”

Alexia and Alex gave Briar an “OK” sign, headed for the main entrance, and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
