Chapter 667 Buying Time

Men do not shed tears easily, especially one in a position as powerful as Artemis. He would rather bleed before crying before another.

At that moment, however, faced with a woman as determined and strong as Bailey, Artemis felt the urge to cry for the first time in his life.

Life had not been far from kind to her, yet she had never given up in the face of adversity. Instead, she fearlessly faced each hurdle head-on.

No matter how battered each challenge left her, she never lost her smile.

I must've done something right in my past life to meet someone as extraordinary as Bailey.

He knew all the thoughts going through her head, which only fueled his desire to destroy her enemies and give her the comfortable life she deserved.

I've held it in so far. Laying all my cards on the table now will only waste her earlier sacrifices.

The best thing he could do was to play his part to the end.

Artemis declared, “I'm not the one responsible for snaring you with such dirty tactics, though I must admit I'm glad to see you in our hands. Tarragon and the Saviors have been embroiled in an endless battle to subjugate each other for years, but the fight was always too close to call. Many elite assassins were sacrificed in the process. You're at my mercy now. If you die, the Saviors will lose their leader, and it'll only be a matter of time before Tarragon swallows the organization whole.”

Bailey scoffed and retorted, “What's this? Are you admitting you're not my match? Is that why you resorted to dirty tactics to trap me? Well, even if you win, your victory will forever be tarnished. You're not a hero in my eyes, Artemis. You're just a spineless coward.”

Before Artemis could utter a reply, Yvette dashed toward Bailey and slapped her viciously.

“You b*tch! How dare you criticize the leader of Tarragon! I bet you have a death wish! The Saviors have only been around for a couple of years; you're practically a bunch of infants. How could you ever compete with Tarragon and its decades of experience?”

Bailey managed a smirk despite how numb her face felt from the cold.

The numbness turned out to be a godsend, as she did not feel any pain despite Yvette's powerful slap.
