CHAPTER 273
When Darren woke up, his vision was so blurry he couldn’t make out a thing.Even though he couldn’t see, he still tried to move, to sit up, but his body wouldn’t budge. Not even an inch.‘Where am I?’ he wondered, straining to shift himself.His body swayed, and that was when it hit him. He wasn’t lying down. He was hanging. Upside down.His eyes flew open, the blur clearing just enough for him to take in the sight before him.Stretching endlessly ahead was the ocean, and he was suspended from a pole, hanging in the middle of nowhere.“What the hell?!!!” he screamed, struggling to break free, but he only kept swaying. “Who the hell hung me here?! Who the fuck would do this to me?!”No other words came to him as he waited for a response.Whoosh!Only the sound of the wind reached him, sending a chill down his spine. He began to tremble from the cold.“Hey!” he screamed. “Are you even listening to me?!”The more he yelled, the more his voice echoed back at him.He was indeed alone, and
CHAPTER 272
Immediately, Kian saw Sean, and he was sure he was doomed.Sean had asked him to bring the man to him in thirty minutes, and now that Sean had come on his own meant that it was past thirty minutes already.And Sean had given him a warning that he was going to come get him and make him regret it if he wasted too much time, and now he had wasted too much time.“I was bringing him to you now,” Kian said, immediately lowering his gun. “He said he was going to come alone, but due to the pain in his legs, he had to slow down.”Sean’s brows arched.“I am telling the truth!” Kian said, wanting to defend himself before Sean could do anything else. “I told him that you wanted to meet with him, and he agreed! Isn’t that right, Darren?” Kian asked, turning his head to look at Darren.Kian’s gaze was pleading as he looked at Darren, and his eyes begged Darren to nod his head in agreement and agree to what he was saying.However, Darren shook his head.“My legs are fine,” he stated. “I am just here

CHAPTER 270
There was no reason for Kian to answer that question. He knew nothing would come of it. He only wanted to finish the task Sean had given him before Sean arrived. It had been a command — complete it and Sean would keep him alive.Earlier, he had come with the remaining two. Sean had told him to deal with the lackeys and bring the leader to him. He’d called it a test, and Kian wanted to be sure he finished it before Sean came for the leader himself if they dragged on too long.“Hey!” the leader yelled, snapping Kian out of his thoughts. “We’ve never done anything against each other before. So why did you and Levi come here to bother me and my men?”Kian hesitated; nothing came out.“Don’t tell me you’re here for the flower I sent my men to get?” the leader pressed.Kian shook his head as if the leader could see him. “That’s not it. I wanted the flower at first, but I don’t need it anymore,” he replied. “That flower almost became the death of me.”“What do you mean?” the leader asked,
CHAPTER 269
Several men sat in a dimly lit room, their faces shadowed and hard, each exuding an intimidating aura.The only light came from a single overhead bulb, flickering slightly, casting long, uneven shadows across the walls.The air was thick with tension, and the faint smell of smoke lingered, as if the room had been sealed for hours.All eyes were serious—brows furrowed, lips pressed into thin lines.No one moved. They stared in one direction, as if something there held their attention.At the far end of the room sat a large, slightly elevated chair, the most imposing piece of furniture in the space. One man occupied it, his presence commanding.He leaned back, hands resting on the armrests, eyes sharp and calculating. The others occasionally flicked glances toward him, subtle gestures of acknowledgment and respect.This was clearly the leader.Even without words, it was obvious. The way his posture filled the room, the faint smirk that hinted at control, he didn’t need to speak to ass
CHAPTER 268
At first, Kian didn’t hear what Sean had said clearly, so he just nodded his head, but then the words suddenly sank in.“What?!” Kian yelled, dumbfounded. “What do you mean — use us as bait?”Sean folded his arms and leaned back in his chair. “Do you need me to explain the meaning of bait to you?” he asked, eyes darting to the window again.Sean had first noticed the man was following him when he had finished tying Jamie to his car. At first, when he saw the man watching him, he had done nothing and just pretended not to see him, the man was that good at stalking and following. If Sean had been someone without any experience, he wouldn’t have noticed the man because of how skilled he was at his job.Sean wasn’t confused about where he had seen the man, either, since he had made sure to look at everyone at the auction. He had spotted the man earlier, scribbling in his notes, and had noticed the man’s weary appearance. Black hoodie, black pants, black glasses, literally everything b
