Chapter 871:
Though Harlee despised traitors, she had to admit that without Kiaanâs help, she would have faced the bodies of Rhysâ parents. So, for Rhysâ sake, she was willing to set aside her principles, just as he was willing to sacrifice everything for her.
Kiaan felt relief wash over him as his life had been spared today.
As for the battle with the man in black, he figured, at worst, he would get hurt. Plus, he wasnât likely to lose.
âThank you, Miss Sanderson!â Kiaan shouted, rushing at the man in black.
He wrapped his arm around the man in blackâs head and viciously kneed the latterâs lower back, each hit harder than the last.
The man in black wasnât an easy target either.
He quickly countered, pinning Kiaan beneath him.
The two fought fiercely, their struggle almost evenly matched.
Tonya, standing next to Harlee, watched the fight with interest and asked, âHarlee, Aldrich said Hale is getting impatient.
Hale wants to see you.â
âIâm too busy,â Harlee replied flatly.
Tonya smirked.
âI hear these men are Haleâs most loyal followers. They wonât talk easily.
How are you planning to get them to reveal anything? Are you going to torture them or feed them to the snakes?â
LâŦâ¬$â ¢ââ³Ã¾Å§â¬ÑŠ¡η Ä @lиøνεlÅ.cøm
Tonya had dealt with these loyal followers many times, but more often than not, she couldnât get useful information from them. When she was less experienced, she had even accidentally killed some before they could speak. She assumed Harlee had no special methods for dealing with them either.
After all, Hale had been under interrogation for so long, and Harlee never intended to get anything from him. Tonya assumed Harlee lacked the confidence to try it out. The men in black that Hale had brought to Mogluylia were undoubtedly his best, willing to sacrifice everything for their mission.
Harlee laughed lightly.
âTorture a few of them and spare the rest.
By then, theyâll talk.â She paused and added, her voice colder, âAnd Hale will talk too.â
Tonyaâs eyes widened in surprise. When had Harlee become even more capable? Why hadnât she noticed this before? If she had, she would have asked Harlee for advice in her earlier interrogations, which could have spared her the constant criticism from Baldrick.
By this time, Kiaan and the man in black were still locked in their fight, with the man in black choking Kiaan, preparing to kill him.
Just as Kiaan was on the verge of losing consciousness, Harlee intervened with a swift kick that sent the men tumbling apart.
Harlee pressed her shoe against the man in blackâs vulnerable spot.
âDonât even think about finishing him off, or youâll die painfully.â
The man in blackâs eyes widened in disbelief. It was clear Harlee had seen through his plan.
Without giving the man in black a chance to speak, Harlee aimed her tranquilizer gun at his right shoulder, and within moments, he was out cold.
