[You're asking for it!]

With a cold snort, Jacques Behrman raised his foot and kicked Yueyue. Yueyue dodged awkwardly and threw a punch, but he grabbed her hand and twisted it hard.

'Click—'

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and Yueyue let out a muffled groan as Jacques Behrman knocked her to the ground. Immediately afterward, a barrage of powerful punches rained down on her.

All that could be heard were muffled thuds of fists, and in the blink of an eye, Yueyue's face was a bloody mess.

A bloodthirsty smirk crept across his lips as Jacques Behrman rose and kicked her several more times before turning to the trembling Cui Xueling. "[Cute girl, now tell me, who is this Jing Li you're looking for!]"

Her clothes were ruined, and her photos had long since disappeared, but she didn't have them, while Yueyue did.

Cui Xueling pointed at Yueyue and said, "The photo is on her!"

Jacques Behrman was undoubtedly furious at that moment.

He didn't want to be enemies with EN, after all, they had only recently started cooperating.

EN had previously stated that it would not participate in the riots; at most, they would make some money from the wealthy and send troops to protect those tycoons.

She's just a woman; if they had spoken up, the boss might not have refused.

They try to launch a sneak attack without even giving any warning. Do they think they're dead?

Fortunately, this stupid woman was afraid of death and betrayed EN; otherwise, if he had failed the mission, who knows how the leader would have punished him!

Those bastards from EN, they have so many places to hide hostages, why did they have to pick the area under his jurisdiction?

[Look what trouble you've caused me! Get your ass to search!]

Enraged, Jacques Behrman slapped his subordinate and cursed.

The other person, trembling, began to search Yueyue's body.

Yueyue, who had regained some consciousness, clung tightly to the photo and refused to let go, which earned her another beating. Only when she was too weak to resist did he snatch the photo from her hand and hand it to Jacques Behrman in a fawning manner.

It was her?!

Jacques Bellman was quite surprised to see Jing Li's photo.

[This woman is here, isn't she? Kill her!]

Cui Xueling, who was secretly observing his expression, shouted out excitedly.

[Shut up, who do you think you are, to order me around?]

Impatient Jacques Behrman slapped him across the face, ordered his men to take the man to his room, and then left to contact their leader, Gabriel.

This matter is of great importance, and he, a mere rebel leader, cannot make the decision on his own.

Soon, the two sides made contact, and he informed Gabriel Nabarro of what had happened.

[Is that girl with you now?]

With a cigar between his fingers, Gabriel Nabarro tapped rapidly on the table, clearly deep in thought.

[Yes, that woman is a tough character. She dared to go against us even when she was unarmed; she's probably an EN insider.]

Jacques Bellman offered his own perspective.

[A person who can make EN turn against you to save you must hold a very important position in EN... Why don't we invite her to the headquarters for a few days... We should treat our guest well and not neglect her.]

To avoid war with EN, you should withdraw quickly, lest EN gain the upper hand.

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes as Gabriel Nabarro spoke.

This is truly an unexpected gain.

By bringing women to headquarters, they won't have to worry about EN not cooperating with their Red Dragon Army.

[Yes, Chief, those hostages...]

Jacques Bellman hesitated.

[In business, sincerity is key. Consider this a small gift for EN; that girl is worth far more than they are.]

The implication is that he will switch from the first killing point to a different hiding place.
