Chapter <b>283 </b>
“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 singlement fromn 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 red at Ian and dodged Alexia’s yful 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 vi. At a bend in the road, a ck 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 ck 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
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 surelye after him personally.
“Briar, what are we going to do? I can’t hit him!” Ian eximed 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 <b>said</b>, “Get out of the way.”
Brandon looked conflicted <b>“</b>Mrs Wade you know I can’t disobey an <b>order </b>from Mr. Wade. Not unless you
defeat me.”
<b>A </b>
“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,unching 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<b>, </b>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 bnce.
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 rmed. 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 vi, Ashton was in a standoff with Harith, who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards in ck. when he suddenly sneezed. ‘Who is cursing me at such a critical moment?‘
Reeceughed 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 atn.”
“Ian is clearly not on the same level as Briar!” Hamish shrugged.
The two sat on the sofa chatting as if no one else was there. Theypletely ignored Harith, who red 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<b>, </b>but Ashton was the most devilish of them all.
Ashton had been hiding in this mountain–view vi for years, which undoubtedly had the best security <b>in </b><b>all </b>of Shoneport. Yet, he brazenly barged in with Reece and Hamish, Without a single bodyguard, the <b>three </b><b>of </b>them fought their way from the foot of the mountain into his house in less than half an hour.

They dragged him from upstairs study down to the living room like a helpless chick. If Adhon hard tray intended to kill him right away, he wouldn’t will be sitting here, staring them doren
Ashton pressed his index finger to his forehead, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Harsh. The you hear that? My wife is about to storm in, and the’s not as easy to deal with as I am”
Harith was so furious at Ashton’s words that he felt as if he might cough up Blood So Briar init easy to deall with? And you, Ashton, are? he thought
