Chapter 666 The Leader Has Arrived

“B-Bring him in?” Baffled, the bodyguard gaped at Yvette. “Shouldn't we tie him up with Bailey?”

Yvette kicked him and said through gritted teeth,” You idiot! Don't you know who Edmund is? He's Artemis' cousin! If we tie him up with Bailey, Artemis will grow suspicious for sure! Artemis may have forgotten everything about Bailey, but he still recognizes his own cousin. Seeing Edmund tied up with Bailey might trigger his memories. Are you trying to get me killed?”

The bodyguard stared at Yvette speechlessly.

“Don't just stand there gawking! Go tie him up and bring him in! The leader will be arriving soon, and the last thing we want is for him to see Edmund!” Yvette screeched.

“Y-Yes, of course! Right away!” the bodyguard replied hastily.

Twenty minutes later, a black SUV slowly pulled up to the warehouse.

Artemis was sitting in the passenger seat, and he could spot Bailey from this distance. She was tied to the wooden post, and she was drenched and shivering.

At that moment, rage seized Artemis, and the air around him grew cold as his murderous intent filled the car.

Holden sensed that Artemis was close to erupting in anger and quickly said, “You've managed to restrain yourself all these years, so what's a little moment longer? If you blow your cover now, you'll only put Bailey and yourself in greater danger. It isn't worth it.”

Artemis closed his eyes and counted to ten. When he had calmed down, he opened his eyes, and the storm that had been brewing in them earlier was gone.

“Stop the car. I'll get down here,” he announced grimly.

Holden was a little hesitant. If he let Artemis down here, the latter would definitely pass by the wooden post, whereupon he would see Bailey's miserable state and go on a rampage.

Holden suggested, “I think I'd better drive up to the warehouse entrance, then we'll nab Yvette right on the spot.”

Artemis glanced at his watch and said, “Veikko and Sylvester are dealing with the special forces hiding in the surrounding area, but they couldn't have wrapped things up yet. We'll stall and buy them some time, and once they've taken out the men lying in ambush, we can take down Yvette easily.”

Nonetheless, he could not help reminding Artemis, “In that case, don't let your anger get the better of you. The most they did with Bailey was drench her in ice water, but she's largely unhurt and she'll recover after a couple of days of rest. You've got to
