Chapter 320


    Elliot raised his head and gazed at the chair, which was only a meter away. He had no idea what it was


    made of and could only see it shining silver in the dim light. The chair’s back was covered in colorful


    wiring, and two tubes connected to arge bucket on the right.


    His eyes widened with surprise, and he asked, “Ah! What are you doing?!”


    “We’re going to torture you, of course.”


    Saying that, Gabe frowned, grabbed Elliot’s cor, and dragged him to. that chair.


    ‘?Let go of me!” Elliot began to scream and struggled furiously. The sack and rope, however, had


    wrapped around him like a cocoon, making it nearly impossible for him to move. And Gabe started


    dragging him and took a few steps.

    In terror, Elliot yelled, his voice echoing in the basement, “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you right now! It’s Richard!


    Richard asked me to drive a truck and stage a car ident to kill Anna. He promised me that he would


    help me pay my debt if | make it.”


    Hearing that, Gabe frowned and looked back at Wayne. Of course, they knew what Richard’s purpose


    was: he wanted to take over Gabriel Group but Anna refused to let him do so, which was why he


    wanted to kill Anna.


    Under the dim light, Wayne looked more irritated.


    “You f*****g piece of s**t! How dared you try to kill my girlfriend!” he said as he took two steps forward


    and stomped on Elliot’s face. 320 Enemies


    ‘?Let me go, please! | didn’t want to do thi:


    in the first ce.”


    Fearing that Wayne would beat Elliot to death, Gabe immediately mediated, “We already know what’s


    going on, Mr. Wright. So, maybe we should let him go now.”


    Wayne paused and said, “You don’t need to do it, Gabe. Leave him to those two out there, and they


    know what to do.”


    Gabe sighed, feeling relieved that he wouldn’t have to deal with Elliot himself. He didn’t care what


    happened to Elliot because that guy deserved it anyway.


    They let the two thugs in after they came out of the basement. After a While, Elliot cried out loud in pain


    but his cries eventually faded away.


    Gabe shuddered as he imagined what the two thugs had done to Elliot. In the rearview mirror, he


    noticed Wayne’s cold expression. He asked Wayne, “What should we do now?”.


    “We’ll settle the score with Richardter,” Wayne said slowly.


    Wayne turned a blind eye to the horrible things that Richard did for the sake of Peter. Also, Wayne was


    busy these days, so he didn’t have time to manage the group. So, he thought it would be good to let


    Richard do his job for a while.


    However, by messing with Anna, Richard made a huge mistake. And Wayne would not let him o this


    time.


    The New Year was approaching, and practical exercise training was about to begin at the Military


    Academy in Birmingham.


    After getting his number te, Ryan carefully pinned it to his uniform.


    “Hey there, loser,” Emily said as she stood behind him. 320 Enemies


    Before turning around, Ryan felt a powerful arm p him on the shoulder. Emily smacked him so hard


    that he nearly coughed up blood.


    Meanwhile, Emily didn’t notice his reaction and said to him, “Just stay


    behind me after we leave the military zer. Ill protect you.”


    Ryan pushed her away with all his strength and said, “I’m not doing that! What did you just call me, by


    the way? We have to call each other by code names because it’s a rule. Remember, my code name is


    Phoenix.”


    Emily scowled at him, slung her drill gun over her shoulder, and said, “Shut up, loser. My cross-country


    scores were much higher than your highest scores even when | was on my period. In fact, the


    intelligence team is not required to take part in such exercises. This is not a big city, so we can just do


    a nket search instead.”


    Ryan was speechless for a moment before saying, “You can indeed nket search the city. But what if


    we’re really at war right now? Do you have to waste so much time unnecessarily searching all over the


    world if We’re not around?”


    Emily raised her brows and said, “Good idea! All jokes aside, Ryan, you can just follow me.”


    Ryan shook off her hand and said as he walked forward, “No, I’m not interested in it. Besides, | have


    something important to do this time. You don’t require someone to provide you with intelligence, do


    you? So, III just do my business.”


    “No, you can’t leave here on your own,” Emily said when she caught up with him,


    ‘?Yes, can. You said we would conduct a nket search, didn’t you? I’ll go to the city’s east side while


    the others look elsewhere,” Ryan answered.


    “There’s nothing to look for on the city’s east side! You won’t find 320 Enemies afl anything because


    there are a lot of people there. Go to the west side!”


    “No! I’m heading to the east side.”


    When Emily noticed Ryan’s persistence, she asked suspiciously, “What makes you want to go there so


    badly? Are you looking for something specific?”


    “Yeah, there’s a drug den there,” Ryan nodded, “so I’m going to check it out.”


    “You’re kidding me, right? Why didn’t you tell the cops if it’s true?”


    “I suspect those drug dealers are connected to the narcotics squad. So I’m going to go find them by


    myself.”


    Emily initially assumed Ryan was teasing her. But when she heard Ryan begin to tell the details, she


    became irritated and eximed, “You’re just messing around!”


    “No, I’m not!”


    “You cannot go there on your own! I’m going to tell our school about this!”


    Ryan tugged Emily’s arm and said, “No, don’t! Emily, | can handle it myself. Please. “


    Emily gave him a stern look and said, “Are you insane?! Our operation is merely a drill, and the crime


    dens are all set up by our school. Remember, we don’t have any real bullets in our guns! What can we


    do if something unexpected happens? There are more than just the two of us in our group. What if they


    truly believe it’s a fake one?”


    Ryan said thoughtfully, “That’s why | asked you to put me in charge of that area! They won’t enter my


    area as long as we each set our own. Trust me, I’m confident I’ll catch their boss. I’m not doing this to


    take credit, Emily; I’m doing it topletely eliminate them.” 320 Enemies


    Emily went entirely still. She felt that whenever Ryan spoke seriously, his ideas always impressed her.


    Ryan first caught her eye when he gave his speech at the start of the school year as the delegate of his


    department.


    Emily frowned and said, “Okay, | can promise you that. But you also have to promise me one thing.”


    “What? Really?”


    Ryan’s eyes glowed. Emily was the group’smander. So, if she agreed to this request, his n


    would be halfpleted. He hadn’t expected Emily to be so easily persuaded.


    “I’m going there with you.”


    Hearing that, Ryan froze, not knowing what to say.


    Emily continued, “And once we arrive there, you’ll have to ask my permission for everything you do.


    You must obey my orders because | am yourmander.”


    Ryan smirked. He was hesitant but had no choice but toply with this request.


    After the drill began, the students dispersed in groups. Emily asked two more students to apany


    her and Ryan to the east of the city after dividing the areas for the group.
