Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns

A Rose 486

Meanwhile, Adam received the news, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

“Guys, we’ve tracked down Master Xev’s whereabouts. This time, we must catch him!”

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers were energized, their faces lit up with joy.

“That’s great! We finally have a lead on Master Xev. Truly, hard work pays off!”

“Exactly! It’s great! We can finally arrest him!”

“This underworld ruler, Master Xev, is really hard to track down!”

Adam also smirked slightly. It was all thanks to the information provided by Wilson earlier. This brother–in–law of his didn’t seem so unbearable anymore.

If they could successfully capture the ruler of the underground world this time, he would be sure to express his gratitude.

Quickly, Adam gathered his thoughts and said solemnly, “Time is of essence. Let’s set out immediately. Action!”

“Yes, captain!”

Yvette lounged lazily on the couch, her long, straight legs casually crossed, exuding the ‘demeanor of a boss. However, she had a lollipop in her mouth, which ruined her imposing

image.

“Boss, they’ve taken the bait and are heading towards the location we set up.”

“Hmm, got it.”

Yvette nodded nonchalantly, but there was a glint of coldness in her eyes. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Is everything I asked you to prepare ready?”

Jake nodded. “Boss, everything has been set up according to your instructions! The sedative incense has already spread throughout the entire room!”

Yvette nodded in satisfaction. This was a perfect opportunity to test her newly developed sedative incense. Unlike other types, her concoction had no scent, making it undetectable once

released.

Yet its potency was a hundred times stronger than ordinary versions–within three seconds of inhaling, anyone would be completely paralyzed, unable to exert even a fraction of their strength.

They had destroyed several of her bases, causing significant losses. This time, she intended to

ensure they came and never left.

Adam and his team donned combat uniforms, cautious and on high alert. They all knew the enemies inside were powerful, and a single misstep could lead to total failure.

Adam’s eagle–like eyes fixed intently on the house not far away as he quietly spoke, ” According to the intel we’ve gathered, Master Xev is here conducting business. I’ll disguise myself as a low–level henchman to slip inside. You all will act on my signal.”

“This operation must succeed; failure is not an option!”

If they missed this opportunity, trying to arrest Master Xev again would be incredibly difficult!

The team members wore serious expressions and quickly responded in unison, “Yes, captain!”

Adam then changed into casual clothing, donned a wig, and tucked a cigarette behind his ear, perfectly disguising himself. Unless one was familiar with him, they would never recognize his true identity and might mistake him for a petty thug.

“Hey, who are you? Who allowed you to come near here?”

As Adam approached the house, he was immediately pushed back by the guards at the door.

“Get lost! You can’t come near a place like this!”

“Hey…” Adam wasn’t angry at being turned away; instead, he responded with a grin. “Buddy, my boss is inside. I’m just delivering something for him. Could you give me a little leeway?”

“Who do you think you are to deserve any leeway from us?” The guard pushed him away impatiently. “Get lost! No one can enter without Master Xev’s orders!”

“Come on, we’re all just fellow men working for our bosses. No need to make things hard for me, just let me through!” Adam continued to smile, pulling out a large stack of bills from his pocket and slipping them into the guard’s hand.
