Under the dim glow of a streetlamp, his stare was predatory, full of impending threat.
The men looked to one another, realizing that Ryan was no ordinary man.
Their unease was palpable, yet they bravely warned, “Our boss demands a conversation with Ms. Sloane Todd. Just go away and don’t interfere p>
Ryan’s fists tightened, his scoff cold and mocking.
“And what if I do interfere p>

“Teach him a lesson p>
They lunged at Ryan.
Ryan swiftly maneuvered Jenessa out of harm’s way.

No doubt, it was the mastermind behind this.
With a cold command, Ryan kicked the phone toward the man.
“Answer it p>
The man hastily complied, his voice trembling as he connected the call.
As soon as the call connected, Soren Lee demanded impatiently, “Are you done? I’ve been waiting for too long. Why haven’t you brought Sloane to me yet p>
The man in black, his face clouding over, glanced nervously at Ryan and responded, “Mr. Lee, we’ve located Sloane, but she’s under the protection of a man. We can’t bring her back p>
“Who is the man protecting her? Did you mention my name? Who dares interfere with my business?” Soren retorted scornfully.
