Chapter 460:


    Reclining with a careless ease, Daniel released a quietugh. “You really do live up to your honor as the Evans family’s chief guardian. Even with the odds stacked against you, you’re still cool under pressure. That takes real nerve.”


    Jason snarled, voice sharp and impatient. “If you’re here for small talk, save it. Get to the point.”


    With azy nce, Daniel shrugged. “This isn’t personal. We don’t have any grudge with the Evans family. It’s simple—we get paid, and we get rid of a problem. Today, that problem is Cole Evans.”


    “Who brought you onto this?” Jason pressed.


    Another quietugh escaped Daniel. “You already know how these things work, Mr. Evans. We get paid for our silence. If we started naming our clients, nobody would hire us again.”


    Jason gave up on that line of questioning and changed tactics. “Fine. Then at least tell me, who’s been feeding you information from inside our ranks?”


    Behind Jason, Lanny’s fists tightened, unnoticed by the rest.


    “That’s another thing I can’t give away,” Daniel replied, cool as ever. “If we exposed our sources, no one would ever work with us again.”


    A blond mercenary to Daniel’s left grew restless. “Sir, what’s the point in dragging this out? Let me finish them off…”


    “And we can all go home.” The man on Daniel’s right, his face marked by an ugly scar, nodded eagerly. “Once we take down the Evans family head, our reputation’s going through the roof. Let’s not waste any more time.”


    Daniel’s attention returned to Jason. “You hear that, Mr. Evans? We haven’t had a job this big in a while, and my guys are hungry for action. Since you’ve got guts, I’ll let you pass on anyst words to your family.”


    A smirk yed at Jason’s lips. “Think it through, Daniel. If Cole dies tonight, my family won’t stop until everyst one of you is buried. You might get your wealth, but you won’t live long enough to spend it.”


    A low chuckle escaped Daniel as he heard Jason’s words. “Everybody knows the Evans name carries weight across the globe, but from what I’ve heard, their influence in the Delta isn’t much to talk about, is it, Jason?”


    ?????? ???????? ???????????????? ??????????ν??????.??????


    Silence hung between them as Jason held his tongue. No words came to challenge Daniel’s im. Years had passed without the Evans family establishing a true foothold in the Delta, leaving Jason and his men with no ground to stand on.


    “No sugarcoating here,” Daniel continued, his voice confident and assertive. “The only names that make the Phantom Mercenaries cautious in this region are ze Wildfire and Thorn Rose. The rest are just background noise.”


    A sly grin spread across Daniel’s face as he added, “If ze Wildfire and Thorn Rose stay out of our business today, the Evans family head isn’t walking away alive.”


    His eyes locked onto Jason’s, cold and unflinching. “It’s nothing personal, Jason. The deal’s for Cole, not for you. Feeling generous today, I’m not looking to spill unnecessary blood. Walk away now, and you won’t have to keep looking over your shoulder.” His nce swept to Myles, Aron, and Hugh. “Same goes for you three—no one’s forcing you to die here.”


    Disgust shed in Hugh’s eyes before he spat on the dusty ground. “If you’re itching for a fight,e get it! I don’t run from anyone.”
