Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1337

King stood in the truck, his eyes scanning the scenery outside, his voice calm and steady.

"You used me and the Lynch family to take down that base. We helped you destroy it. For years, those base folks have meddled in Brielle's life, and I never held it against you. Now you've been tricked by me once, isn't that enough to call it even?" Irene stood at the front of the truck, her position giving her a higher vantage point. She had been searching for a place to rest forever, but this barren land was far from what she desired.

She even found herself envying Kenzo's fate, wishing everything could go back to the beginning, to be buried at sea, dissolved into nothingness-a fitting end.

She unfastened the throwing knife from her wrist, examining it closely in front of her.

Jaired stood beside King, also looking out over the land.

They were about to cross the fence, having delayed for over a day and night, and nobody could afford to wait any longer.

King had been tracking Brielle's movements, noticing her circling the same spot, obviously stuck somewhere.

Though there was no immediate danger, there was no telling if her mental state would start to falter. They needed to reach her side quickly.

The truck slowly moved forward, inching closer to the fence.

Nearby, Bryan stood watch in a guard tower.

"You're defying my orders?"
