Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1530

After hanging up, Mr. Nettleton dropped his laid-back act. He got out of the car, handed his phone to his assistant, and strode forward with the swagger of someone who knew exactly what he was doing—a gun tucked at his waist, glinting in the sunlight. "Nice to finally meet you. I'm Conner."

Miles reached out, matching Conner's grip in a handshake. "Heard a lot about you, Mr. Nettleton. I'm Miles."

Conner smirked. "So, you Dark Web guys running the old 'Triple Transfer' trick? Where's the Boss, the Mover, and the Shifter?"

Miles hesitated, thrown off for just a second. Wasn't Conner supposed to be ruthless? He'd heard stories about how dangerous the man was, but right now, he seemed almost too easygoing.

Then their eyes met. For a moment, Miles caught the cold edge behind Conner's smile-a flash of something lethal. He straightened unconsciously. This guy was every bit as dangerous as the rumors said.

Conner's car rolled forward, but Miles waved off the offer to ride together. Soon enough, Dark Web's own car pulled up. The two vehicles drove side by side toward the meeting spot.

Inside Conner's car, his assistant fidgeted. “Boss, why aren't we just charging in? Quick in, quick out. That's how you always do it."

Conner, uncharacteristically serious, replied, "You know what's waiting in there? How many people? How many exits? Where they're keeping everyone?"
