Betrayed Then Back For Blood (Briar Jennings) novel Chapter 283

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 Ian immediately grasp the gravity of their situation.

“So, that’s why Mr. Wade didn’t take you with him to make the arrest?” Ian 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 Ian 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. Ian ran a hand through his hair, stopped the car, and turned to Briar. “Briar, Brandon is waiting over there. I 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.” Ian 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.

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

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 come after him personally.

“Briar, what are we going to do? I can’t hit him!” Ian 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.”

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 I can’t disobey an order from Mr. Wade. Not unless you

defeat me.”

“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, came from 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 cursing me at 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. I 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. I mean, look at lan.”

“Ian is clearly not on the same level as Briar!” Hamish shrugged.
