Chapter 1894
"Okay. Lawrence's men will come over to join us too. Well leave after that."
"Sure." Janus nodded and left.
Nicole looked at Jared. "I didn't know you had troops. Who exactly is Janus?"
Nicole had never asked him about this before, but since she did, Jared decided not to hide it from her. “He's my
mercenary."
Nicole frowned as she did not expect Jared to have a mercenary in his payroll.
Jared noticed her confusion, so he calmly explained, "It's difficult to work abroad. Before I had Janus, goods
belonging to the Johnston Group and JJ Johnston were always getting stolen in shady areas. We had no other choice
but to hire my distant cousin to be our mercenary..."
Hearing that, Nicole finally understood perfectly what was going on.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe JJ Johnston Group was involved in many industries, so it was not surprising that their goods had been illegally
targeted by certain entities. To ensure the safety of the goods and staff in international waters, some countries
would form their band of troops, business associations, and mercenaries.
"I see."
Johnston was a rare last name, so Janus definitely belonged to Jared's father's side of the family.
"Good." Jared smiled as he looked at her.
Soon after, Janus called. "Mr. Johnston, they're here. We can leave now."
"Sure." Jared ended the call and looked at Nicole, starting to get worried. "You should stay out of this."
There was a chance that a fierce war would be ignited in order for them to retrieve the Braves.
Nicole looked at him. "I won't stop worrying, not until I get to see the Braves being taken back with my own eyes. I
must go."
Jared noted the persistence in her gaze and knew that she would follow him even if he did not bring her along.
"Okay, but you need to stick with me. Got it?" he asked.
He would do his utmost to Nicole, even if it meant losing his life.
"Yeah, I know what my current situation is. I'll just have a look. I don't want accidents to happen," she said.
Jared understood her concern. "Sure. Let's go."
Then, the duo made their way downstairs, where a bulletproof jeep was parked, waiting for them.
Janus looked around vigilantly when he saw them coming down. He opened the door for them once they were near
and helped them into the car. When they left, Nicole saw more than ten black cars following them from behind .
Janus noted what she was looking at and explained, "Ten of the cars belong to us, the other seven belong to
Lawrence."
Jared smirked. "I didn't expect Lawrence to send so many of his men over."
He thought Lawrence was just being courteous, so he was not expecting this many people.
"This is a pleasant surprise." A smile grew across Janus's handsome face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Jared proceeded to say, "But we must still trust our men."
"Of course. Don't worry, Mr. Johnston." Janus nodded as he knew what Jared was worried about.
This mission had to be executed with utmost care.
There was a car leading the way in front of their jeep, taking them to the outskirts of the capital. Then, they
continued to head North.
After three hours, they arrived at a canyon area.
"There's no signal here, Mr. Johnston." Janus immediately looked around when they arrived.
Jared nodded and turned to Nicole. "Stay in the car. I'm going to have a look."
Nicole looked at him, worried. "Take care, please."
"Sure."
Jared got down from the car and there, he realized that they were at a high ground, and there was a canyon not far
up ahead.
At that moment, someone got down from the car that was leading them and approached Jared upon seeing him.
