Micheal let out a long sigh as he hurried back toward the security post. After what had just happened, he knew better than to remain anywhere near Sophia's office. Natalie was not someone he wanted to deal with while she was furious, especially after eating all the food she had apparently stored in the office.When he reached the entrance, he spotted two security guards standing at their usual positions by the gate. Micheal immediately walked over and casually offered to take one of their posts.The two men stared at him in surprise.Ever since Micheal had joined them, he had never once volunteered to stand at the gate. Most of the time, he simply sat nearby doing his own thing, and they had never bothered him about it. They knew Sophia had personally brought him into the company, and after seeing his abilities during the incident with the Vane family, none of them had any intention of making trouble for him.Since he was offering to work for once, however, they certainly were not goi

Micheal's expression changed the moment he heard Natalie speak. What the hell was she thinking? Why would she say something like that and leave him to deal with Adrian alone?He quickly turned his head toward Sophia, hoping she would at least say something, but Sophia merely looked away as if none of this had anything to do with her. Micheal stared at her for a moment before letting out a bitter smile. When he turned back, Natalie was already looking at Adrian with a faint smile on her face.She looked unusually pleased.Micheal immediately understood what was going on. Natalie was finally getting her revenge on him. After everything he had done to annoy her over the past few days, she had finally found a perfect opportunity to sit back and watch him suffer.She might not have been able to beat him in a fight, but she could certainly make things troublesome for him.Adrian's expression relaxed when he realized Sophia had no intention of helping Micheal. He straightened his expensive s

"So, where are we headed?" Micheal asked after settling into the van. He glanced at Evelyn, who was sitting beside him, while the other officers looked over and gave him friendly nods. They were already familiar with Micheal's reputation and knew that he had a close relationship with their captain. More importantly, they had heard enough about his abilities to understand why Evelyn had decided to bring him along, so none of them had objected when she told them he would be joining the operation."We uncovered the hideout of a group of human traffickers," Evelyn replied, her expression becoming serious. "We're heading there now.""Human traffickers?"Micheal's relaxed expression disappeared, and his brows furrowed.Evelyn nodded. "They're involved in more than just trafficking people. Sometimes, when they can't find buyers for their victims, they kill them and sell their organs. They've also been connected to several other serious crimes, which is why we've been trying to locate their m

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Evelyn whispered as she followed Micheal toward the building.She glanced around nervously, her hand tightening around the weapon at her side.“We're walking straight into their hideout dressed like their people. If someone asks us a question we can't answer, we're finished.”“Don't worry,” Micheal replied with a relaxed laugh. “It'll be fine.”Evelyn frowned at his back.How could this man still be so relaxed?Micheal, however, suddenly changed his demeanor as they approached the entrance. The playful smile disappeared, and he straightened his posture before walking inside with the confidence of someone who had every right to be there.He didn't look around nervously or hesitate.He simply walked in.That confidence immediately made Evelyn more nervous.They had barely gone a few steps when a masked man approached them.“What are you two doing here?” the man asked suspiciously. “Aren't you supposed to be patrolling outside?”Evelyn's heart tightene

Amand's eyes widened.“Huh?”He barely had time to react before Micheal twisted his wrist, stripped the gun from his hand, and pulled Evelyn away from him.“Bang! Bang!”Alonzo and Mike fired at the same time.Micheal immediately ducked, dragging Evelyn down with him as the bullets struck the wall behind them. He rolled behind the sofa where Alonzo and Mike had been sitting only moments earlier.At the same time, the gunfire outside suddenly became much louder.Bang! Bang! Bang!The shots continued without pause.The operation had finally erupted into a full battle.Evelyn's heart hammered against her chest as she crouched beside Micheal. She was still pressed closely against him, and she could feel the warmth of his body as he shielded her from the gunfire.She had never been this close to a man before.For a moment, her mind became strangely distracted.Micheal's usual shameless grin was gone. His face was serious, his eyes focused entirely on the enemies in front of him.Evelyn fou
