Briar leaned into Ashton’s arms. “I know what you’re worried about, but I’m not delicate, I can protect myself.

Briar understood what Ashton was worried about.

Just as she said, she was not delicate. If she confronted those people, it was uncertain who would truly be in danger.

Ashton kissed Briar’s forehead. “I understand, but it worries me that you always want to seek revenge alone. As the investigation has shown, your mother’s death isn’t just about the interests of the Jennings family and those people. It’s also tied to political struggles from over twenty years ago.”

Briar nodded. “I know. That’s why I didn’t object when you brought in Louie and Kameron.”

Ashton chuckled. “True. You didn’t object, but can you guarantee you’ll let them follow you discreetly every time you act alone?”

“I’ll try?” Briar said.

“No, you must,” Ashton said, laughing in exasperation. “Honey, Mr. McInnes spent 64 million dollars, after all! We should make the most of their skills for our benefit, don’t you think? Otherwise, wouldn’t that money be wasted?”

What else could Briar say?

“Fine. For the money, I’ll tell them where I’m going starting tomorrow, okay?” Briar relented.

Ashton had a point. With 64 million dollars spent, they couldn’t let it all go to waste.

Although the money didn’t come from her account, it was still a kind gesture from Gideon.

Ashton kissed Briar’s cheek again. “That’s my girl, so sweet and sensible. It’s settled, then. Starting tomorrow, no matter where you are, you have to tell them to follow you.”

“I know. I know,” Briar said, pushing Ashton away as he leaned in. “Can you let go of me now? I want to take a shower.”

A dangerous glint flashed in Ashton’s eyes. “What a coincidence. I want a shower, too. Shall we go together, honey?”

Then, without giving Briar a chance to refuse, he swept her into his arms and strode into the bedroom.

The bright moon and sparse stars marked the beginning of a beautiful night.

As night fell, a suppressed, angry question suddenly rang out in a dark, deserted alley, “Who did you say they

hired?”

Chapter 359

A man in black, almost blending into the night, repeated through gritted teeth, “They hired… Louie and Kameron from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base”

“How could they hire both of them at the same time?” that man asked again.

His tone was filled with disbelief.

Regular mercenaries from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base command the highest fees among global mercenary organizations, not to mention that Louie and Kameron were instructors there.

Hiring instructors from the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base required not only immense wealth but also profound influence. Well, if the information was accurate and Ashton was the one who hired them, there’s nothing to doubt.

With Ashton’s influence in international organizations, it was not impossible to hire those two as long as the price was right.

“So, what should we do now?” asked the man.

Ashton brought in such a powerful ally, clearly intending to fight them to the bitter end.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t forget, we still have our final trump card. Hasn’t Tristan arrived in Dasmieca?” The man in black lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and chuckled darkly. “When the time comes, we’ll have Tristan deal with Briar.”

The man asked hesitantly, “Can Tristan handle Briar alone? Don’t forget, the moment he sets foot in Dasmieca, he becomes one of her targets, too.”

Briar and Ashton have killed so many of their men. They were on a killing spree.

Tristan didn’t even dare to face Briar now and had been hiding at Marvin’s house.

“If he doesn’t dare to go, we’ll force him. The prized student he personally trained has turned rogue, so he should clean up the mess as a teacher, right?” The eyes of the man in black were icy, as if sending Tristan to his death meant nothing to them.

The other man wanted to say something else, but said worriedly, “But he’s the only one left who can continue researching the drug. If he also gets killed, how can we ever make a comeback?”

“As long as we have experimental data, we can stage a comeback whenever we want.” The man in black showed no concern, laughing. “Don’t panic. No one can trace this back to us.”

Who would have thought that the masterminds behind such a huge conspiracy would be the most unassuming family in Shoneport, the Hargreaves family?

Jannik‘ suppressed laughter was filled with unbridled arrogance.

The hunter becomes hunted. The feeling of reaping the benefits of others‘ conflicts was still as good as ever!

Upon seeing that Jannik had made up his mind, the man knew that saying anything more would be pointless. He nodded reluctantly. “Alright then. I’ll notify Tristan tonight. Let’s hope he doesn’t disappoint us this time.”

Tristan, who answered the call, exclaimed, “What did you say? Jannik wants me to kill Briar? Are you sure you heard that correctly?”
