Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

On a desolate road on the outskirts of Shoneport, a black sedan sped against the wind. Inside the car, a man

dressed in black with a long scar on his belt check was driving nervously while keeping a wary eye on his

companion in the passenger seat

Seeing his companion try calling again, but there was still no answer on the other end. His face grew grim, and

his voice was icy. “How is it? Still can’t get through?” he asked.

The companion on the passenger seat shook his head, somewhat agitated, and pounded the car door with a

heavy thud. “Can’t get through, damn it! he cursed.

In the back seat, a fierce-looking, heavily tattooed man sat next to a slender, pale-faced girl whose small frame

leaned against the seat.

The girl slumped in the seat, eyes tightly shut as if “unconscious,” looking completely harmless. Probably being

confident in the effectiveness of their drug, they didn’t bother to tie her up or search her body after knocking

Briar out. They simply left her lying in the seat.

The tattooed man casually glanced at Briar, then turned his attention to the two guys up front. Hearing the

passenger's frustration, he started to get

anxious.

“What's going on? Wasn't the guy still reachable two hours ago?” he asked.

The companion in the passenger seat was even more anxious than the other two. “Damn it, this guy’s shady.

Once we're done with this job, we'll leave Shoneport immediately. | have a bad feeling about this. He better not

rat us out,” he said.

Hearing his words, the other two immediately started cursing, and the air in the car grew even more tense.

“Damn it, | told you that guy looked like a total wimp, unreliable at all. | knew he couldn't be trusted. Now look at

us, we might be busting our asses for nothing,” one of them grumbled.

“Seriously, how did we end up agreeing to this so muddle-headedly? That punk better hope we don’t run into

him. Otherwise, | swear I'll mess him up s badly that he won't know what hit him,” the other snapped.

“Yeah, he dares to screw us over, does he? Just wait till we get our hands on him,” the other chimed in.

“But what now? We can’t just toss her out on the side of the road, can we?”

“No way. She's already seen our faces. If we just let her go, the cops will be on us in no time. | don’t want to

spend my days being chased around by the police; it’s way too frustrating.”

“So what? Do we just kill her?”

“Killing isn’t what we do, man. We're in this for cash, not to kill...”

“What else can we do then? She's seen us; there’s no way we can let her live.”

“Then screw it, let's just get rid of her to save the trouble in the future.”

“Who dares?” Suddenly, a girl's sweet voice rang out,through the tense, cramped air inside the car.

The three men turned their heads around in unison, eyes wide with terror, looking at Briar, who was supposed to

be knocked out in the back seat but was now slowly sitting up.

The companion in the passenger seat, shocked, asked in a shaky voice, “You... How are you awake?”

“With that subpar knockout drug, do you really think you can takedown?” Briar tilted her neck and stretched

her arms, smiling as she spoke. “You've got snerve, daring to kidnap me! Do you even know who | am?”

The tattooed guy was the fastest to react. He swore and lunged straight at Briar. “Damn it, Tiger, pull over! Tie

this chick up before she runs away!”

Chapter 209

These guys were accustomed to work that risked their lives. Regardless of what happened to the hirer, ensuring

the hostany’s safety remained fait their professional code.

Although it was the first tthey had encountered a hostage waking up halfway and turning around to threaten

them, they couldn't just ignore it

Moreover, this girl looked so calm. The tattooed guy suddenly had a bad feeling about all this.

With a screech, Tiger pulled the car over. He and the companion in the passenger seat jumped out, one from

each side, teaming up with the tattooed guy to pin Briar down.

‘How could three big grown men fail to handle one little girl?‘ they thought. However, reality proved them wrong.

They were no match for her, no matter how big and tough they were.

Briar had let them take her without a fight just to find out who was behind the kidnapping, but now, that wasn’t

necessary anymore.

It looked like their hirer had already run off; Ashton must have made his move.

Since these few guys were no longer of any use, there was no way Briar was going to go easy on them.

As soon as the back door opened, Briar lashed out with a swift kick, sending the tattooed guy flying out of the

car. In the smotion, she knocked the scar-faced man down with him.

The two crashed to the ground in a tangled heap and couldn't even get up for a long time.

The eyes of the companion in the paeat went bloodshot with fury. “Damn it, you bitch! You don’t take the easy

way, huh? Fine; guess you're

courting death...” he cursed.

Briar turned around coldly and said, “Yeah, you're the one with a death wish.”

With a twist of her wrist, a dagger suddenly appeared in her hand. The dagger gleamed, looking brand new, but

the tip shone with a chilling light. At a glance, it could tell it had seen blood before.

As the companion in the passenger seat lunged at her, Briar’'s dagger pressed right up against the artery in his

neck. All his anger and bravado vanished in an instant. The chill of the dagger against his skin made him freeze

as if someone had hit pause on his whole body.

Briar’s face was icy. “Get on your knees and don’t even think about moving if you want to live. Otherwise, my

knife won't show any mercy,” she said.

The tables turned so fast that in just a few seconds, Briar

calling the shots. Now, their lives were in her hands.

With her knife pressed against the passenger's throat, she forced the other two to back off. Her tone was icy and

threatening when she said, “You've got two choices: tellwho sent you to kidnap me, or else.”

Even though they were scared, their professional code was carved into their bones. All three shook their heads

and refused to tell.

Briar didn’t press them. “Option two: I'll kill you all, dump your bodies out in the wild, and | promise-no matter

who comes looking for you guys, no one will ever trace your deaths back to me.”

The three were shaking all over, their shoulders trembling. They wanted to

run,

but were too scared.

“Since you're all keeping quiet, that means you've picked option two. Great! | like option two best. It's so much

more exciting,” Briar said.

So right there, under the terrified and helpless stares of the three men, Briar lifted her dagger high up, her eyes

cold and merciless, and, without hesitation, slashed it straight at the throat of the companion in the passenger

seat.

“Screech!” Suddenly, the screech of brakes rang out behind them, and immediately after, Ashton called out,

“Briar...”

Briar reacted just as fast. She let go of the dagger, her legs went weak, and she was about to fall backward.

Ashton rushed over and swept her into his arms. “Briar, are you okay?” he asked.

Chapter 203

Briar looked up at him, putting on her most pitiful face as she whimpered, “Ashton, what fook you to long? | ran

seared in death. They wanted to give de

It was so close...

the three kidnappers were at a loss for words. Seriously, do you even hear what ! you've just said?” the three

thought, completely dumbfounder.
