Chapter 864:

Noticing their reluctance, Kiaan continued, “It’s merely a proposal. Killing them is a point of no return, but kidnapping offers us bargaining chips.”

Kiaan went on to persuade them, cleverly phrasing his argument as if considering their interest.

“By abducting them, we complete Hale’s task, allowing us to retire safely, and there’s no need to fear Matteo’s vengeance once we’re back in Uwhor. If the abduction falls through, we can always eliminate them there and then. This strategy presents all benefits and no loss for us.”

The group began to waver as they all aimed to dodge Matteo’s wrath.

The group leader, a towering and burly man, sparked a cigarette and looked out the window with a determined, cold stare.

“You’re right. If it fails, we’ll eliminate them right then and there!”

The agreement formed quickly after.

“But we must keep the two hostages safe. They are our only lifeline!” As the agreement was reached, Kiaan confidently reassured the group, “Rest assured, I’ll create a flawless plan!” The group leader gave a slight nod, signaling Kiaan to proceed to his room for planning.

“Go ahead and draft the plan. We’ll evaluate its feasibility later.” Kiaan responded, “Understood.”

After Kiaan exited, the group leader gathered the others.

“Kiaan has been embedded in Mogluylia for too long.

He might not align with us anymore.

Exercise caution with his strategies and don’t follow them blindly.”

Originally, Kiaan had been strategically placed in Mogluylia as a sleeper agent by Hale, but now, Kiaan was viewed as a potential liability.

His suggestions were to be considered but with doubt.

At two o’clock, Harlee and Tonya departed from Baldrick’s house.

A work-related call came for Tonya, requiring her immediate attention.

Despite her reluctance, the urgency of the situation compelled her to leave. She made Harlee promise to call if anything happened, as she would be distressed if she didn’t know.

They had planned to visit the hospital, and Tonya was concerned that Harlee might be overwhelmed by emotions due to Rhys’ incident.

“I’m really okay,” Harlee assured with a smile. She had fortified herself mentally overnight. Whatever challenges lay ahead, she was determined to confront them head-on. Moreover, she was resolute in marrying into the Green family and safeguarding everything important to Rhys. In Harlee’s heart, nothing bad had happened to Rhys, and he was merely away from Baythorn.

Initially worried, Tonya found reassurance in Harlee’s earnest declaration about marrying into the Green family, recognizing Harlee’s thorough preparedness.

Tonya embraced Harlee warmly, resting her head on Harlee’s shoulder, and said softly, “Whatever your path, I’ll always be there to support you.”

Even if marrying into the Green family meant facing tremendous pressure, Tonya was ready to stand by Harlee.

Harlee felt deeply comforted knowing Tonya was her loyal supporter in all situations. She affectionately patted Tonya’s back and smiled.

“Having you by my side means everything.”

Tonya responded not with words but with a gesture intimate to them both. Their shared sign communicated, “Whatever comes our way, I’ll always be there for you.”
