Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 283

“Harith isn’t scary, nor is he hard to kill, but the person behind him is quite powerful” Alexia’s simple statement

made lan immediately grasp the gravity of their situation.

“So, that’s why Mr. Wade didn’t take you with him to make the arrest?” lan looked at Briar, his eyes filled with

awe and shock. “Briar, Mr. Wade is really in love with you!”

Briar was speechless. A single comment from lan shattered the tense atmosphere.

Alexia also looked at Briar and teasingly nudged her with a fist. “Well, well! We were just wondering why we

didn’t see Mr. Wade at the door today. It turns out he had already left.”

Briar glared at lan and dodged Alexia’s playful punch. “Are we going or not?”

“Let's go, let's go! The car is moving!” Knowing when to stop, Alexia didn’t tease Briar any further. A little

lightheartedness was fine, but too much would backfire.

The journey was smooth and uneventful. Their car entered the city, swiftly traversed through it, and reached a

winding road leading to a picturesque mountain villa. At a bend in the road, a black BMW was parked boldly, with

a person leaning casually against its door.

Squinting, he realized it was Brandon. lan ran a hand through his hair, stopped the car, and turned to Briar.

“Briar, Brandon is waiting over there. | think Mr. Wade sent him to stop us. What should we do?”

Briar’s face was expressionless, her eyes cold and brimming with killing intent. “Drive.”

“Alright.” lan silently pitied Brandon. ‘Briar was about to lose it!’ he thought.

As their car neared the black BMW, Brandon, who had been leaning against the door, stepped into the middle of

the road. He stood straight and looked at them apologetically.

lan had already slowed down. With Brandon standing in the middle of the road, he couldn’t simply press

gas

and run him over. Even if he could, he didn't dare to do so. After all, this was Brandon-Ashton’s most capable

right-hand man. If he hurt him, Ashton would surely cafter him personally.

“Briar, what are we going to do? | can’t hit him!” lan exclaimed in panic as the car inched closer to Brandon. yet

Briar still hadn't told him to stop.

Briar took a deep breath. “Stop.”

the

With a screech, the car skidded to a stop mere inches from Brandon's feet. Briar unfastened her seatbelt and

stepped out of the car, her face expressionless.

As Briar approached, Brandon greeted, “Mrs. Wade, Mr. Wade says it’s too dangerous ahead. He wants you to

wait here. He'll find the person you're looking for and bring them out.”

Briar stopped an arm'’s length from Brandon, her right hand behind her back. With a piercing gaze, she said, “Get

out of the way.”

Brandon looked conflicted “Mrs Wade you know | can’t disobey an order from Mr. Wade. Not unless you

defeat me.”

A

“Fine, let's fight.” Briar gave Brandon no chance for further talk, striking at him with a left-handed chop.

Not willing to confront Briar directly, Brandon quickly stepped back to avoid the blow. However, Briar continued

aggressively, launching a leaping 270-degree roundhouse kick aimed at Brandon's face.

A roundhouse kick like that required incredible explosive force in both speed and power. It could instantly

incapacitate an opponent, leaving them dizzy or, at the very least, unsteady on their feet. It was hard to believe

that such a powerful move, packed with explosive force, cfrom such a slender girl.

Briar’s roundhouse kick was so impressive that Brandon couldn't dodge it; he could only raise his arms to shield

his face. With a loud thud, he felt the full force of the kick. Brandon let out a muffled grunt and staggered back a

couple of steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

However, upon closer examination, Brandon's arms, having absorbed the kick from Briar, were trembling slightly.

It was evident just how much force Briar had put into that kick.

Brandon knew that if he fought Briar head-on, he would be instantly knocked to the ground. He was both worried

and secretly alarmed. Her skills were terrifyingly powerful.

The eight instructors from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base certainly lived up to their

reputation. What was even more terrifying was that Briar’s current skills were not her peak, and she was only 18.

A woman's physical abilities typically peak between the ages of 20 and 28.

In other words, with her current skills, she would reach an entirely new level once she entered her physical prime

after turning 20. At that rate, even Ashton would likely struggle to overpower Briar, especially considering he

was much older than her.

In the villa, Ashton was in a standoff with Harith, who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black. when

he suddenly sneezed. ‘Who is cursingat such a critical moment?”

Reece laughed and said, “Ashton, could it be that Briar got here, was stopped by Brandon, and is now cursing

you out of frustration?”

Hamish casually shifted his position on the sofa and chimed in, “I bet. But I'm curious if Brandon can stop Briar

on his own. | heard the eight instructors from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base are all

exceptionally skilled.”

Reece said dismissively, “I don’t know about that. | mean, look at lan.”

“lan is clearly not on the slevel as Briar!” Hamish shrugged.

The two sat on the sofa chatting as if no one else was there. They completely ignored Harith, who glared at them

from the other end, infuriating him. But he didn’t dare to confront them again.

He wasn’t sure whether the eight instructors from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base were

devils, but Ashton was the most devilish of them all.

Ashton had been hiding in this mountain-view villa for years, which undoubtedly had the best security in all of

Shoneport. Yet, he brazenly barged in with Reece and Hamish, Without a single bodyguard, the three of them

fought their way from the foot of the mountain into his house in less than half an hour.

Ashton pressed his index finger to his forehead, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Harsh. The you hear

reasonably and appeared ready to have a proper conversation with him.
