Chapter 1414


    Barrett’s gaze lifted nonchntly, a flicker of nothingness in his eyes, “I didn’t inform you.”


    Lingering in the shadows, Evan spoke with a subdued voice, “Caleb and the others were my brothers


    too. To avenge them is my duty.”


    Barrett’s indifferent gaze drifted past Evan, settling on the door that Aidyn had just shut, “You might as


    well go back with him, hear his side of the story.


    A scornful smirk yed on Evan’s lips, “He took me in, kept secrets from me. How is that different from


    grooming you, using you? The so-called truth is just honing two sharp des.”


    Both men were sharpened by Xavier to be des; Barrett’s edge was turned against his own kin, while


    Evan’s was used to solidify Mr Penrod’s influence and secure loyalty.


    The realization soured Evan’s thoughts, “In the end, Caleb, the members who died in the biozone, and


    the others, they were just pawns in Mr. Penrod’s revenge. And yet we served him loyally.”


    These members, though they also used the hidden force of the Siren Organization to remove familial


    obstacles, still held true to their belief in purging the business world of its cancers, not merely being


    used.


    Thinking of his brothers-in-arms deceived, Evan felt an indignant pang, “Once this is over, I’ll turn


    against Mr. Penrod. When I do, you keep out of it.”


    Barrett spared him a nce, his voice as cool and deep as ever, “What you need to do, after it’s all


    finished, is to disband the members, then use Yates as a proxy to fight Penrod, not take him on


    yourself.”


    They’d been used enough; now, let Yates and Xavier duke it out. But before that, Barrett’s task was to


    use this as a bargaining chip to bring Eleanor


    home.


    Barrett exuded a chill Evancked, “I thought you’d be upset knowing the truth, but you’re as calm as


    ever.”


    A cold smirk appeared in Barrett’s eyes. If Evan had been through what he had, he’d know the phrase


    ‘being used’ was trivial.


    Whatever Mr. Penrod gave was never truly theirs. Taking it away was only natural. There might be a


    moment’s disappointment, but it would fade.


    In his life, Barrett sought not familial affection, nor anyone’s pity or sympathy. He yearned only for


    Eleanor; beyond her, he desired nothing else.


    Feeling empathy for Barrett, Evan stepped out of the shadows, striding into the sunlight where Barrett


    stood.


    “I once resented you for Xavier’s favoritism. From now on, I, Evan, will follow Mr. Law’s lead without


    question.”


    His voice rang clear, with newfound conviction. Barrett arched an eyebrow at Evan’s sincere facade.


    “After avenging Caleb and the others, I’m done with Siren. You don’t need to follow me.”


    “As long as you lead Siren, I’ll follow,” Evan affirmed, steadfast.


    Barrett’sshes.fluttered faintly.


    “Are youmitted to this?”


    Evan nodded, “I’ve gathered the headquarters members. I can’t move Penrod’s men, but it’s enough to


    support you.”


    Barrett was decisive,manding coldly, “Tell your men, tomorrow at 10:25 AM, be on standby at the


    airport in the Golden Sea District.”


    10:25 was when Barrett’s private jet was scheduled tond.


    From that moment on, their mission was singr-49 lives, including Caleb’s, must be answered for by


    Area Opaca, eye for an eye.


    Within the Golden Sea District, a man in a ck suit with amanding presence stepped briskly out


    of the airport, followed by his entourage.


    Evan, waiting outside, saw Barrett emerge and signaled his men to open the car door.


    Barrett slid into the car with his usual grace and turned to Evan.


    “Let’s go.”


    At Evan’s signal, masked members swiftly boarded the vehicles.


    As the car doors mmed shut, a fleet of ck cars sped into the district.


    Scott stood by with his team, awaiting Barrett’s arrival next to a row of helicopters.


    Soon, the convoy arrived at the rendezvous point, navigating the rugged mountain roads with precision.


    Barrett alighted from the lead car, followed by Evan and Gianna.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Gianna, now aware of everything, had confronted Xavier the night before, receiving a disappointing


    response.


    Knowing her brother had sided with Barrett, she chose to stand with him, unwavering.


    With Gianna’s support, even without Penrod’s men, they had enough to take on Area Opaca.


    Scott presented Barrett with white gloves, addressing him respectfully:


    “Sir, each helicopter has been rigged with explosives, and the st radius has been calcted by


    professionals. Whether it’s the initial or secondary flight personnel, everyone’s safety is assured.”


    Taking the gloves, Barrett nodded slightly.


    “Nothing less than perfection.”


    “You can count on it,” Scott assured. He was known for his wless execution.
