Chapter 860: Chapter 860

Chapter 860:

“Are you sure?” Baldrick asked.

Harlee answered, “Eighty to ninety percent sure.”

Baldrick understood that when Harlee estimated eighty to ninety percent, it might as well be a certainty.

He probed, “What’s your strategy?”

Tonya, seated close by, was quick to suggest, “We should get rid of them all.”

Baldrick turned toward Harlee.

“Do you agree with that approach?”

Harlee didn’t utter a word, but her determined expression spoke volumes.

Baldrick had his reservations since the resources for such a mission were limited.

Harlee seemed to pick up on his hesitation.

“I can deploy my own team. You’d just need to back us up discreetly.”

Baldrick still had concerns about working with the Shadow Moon Society.

He sipped his coffee.

“I’ll have an answer for you tomorrow.”

Harlee set her cup down with a thud.

“Fine, but I’m moving forward with or without your help.”

Baldrick exhaled slowly.

“I’m not saying I won’t assist, but we need to think this through.” Harlee didn’t respond.

The tension in the room thickened, yet Tonya appeared unaffected. Whenever Harlee and Baldrick conversed, a disagreement was almost guaranteed. Only a truly critical situation could prevent their usual disputes. Indeed, they spent the next two hours intensely debating the mission.

Tonya, ever the observer, watched from the sidelines, deliberately keeping out of the discussion.

After an additional half-hour, they came to a decision: Baldrick would lend unlimited covert support, but Harlee’s team would lead the charge.

Concluding their debate, they all moved back to the living room.

Harlee settled into the couch with ease, scrolling through her phone in a laid-back manner that seemed slightly inappropriate to the elders. She didn’t see herself as an outsider. Instead, she waited for dinner, casually scrolling through her phone.

While Baldrick remained in the coffee room making calls to other leaders, Tonya played with the remote, searching for an engaging show to watch.

Just as Tonya switched to a news channel, Albin sneaked up behind her, startling her into giving him a playful retaliation with a couple of light slaps.

In the background, the TV announced, “Today, credible sources report that in the high-profile kidnapping case, both Mr. Green and Miss Morgan plummeted off a cliff…” Tonya swiftly lunged for the remote and shut off the TV as quickly as she could.

After that, Tonya turned, a hint of nervousness in her glance, toward Harlee, who was absorbed in her phone. Tonya exhaled deeply and then swung around to shoot a stern look at Albin standing behind her.

Albin tensed up.

Having been close to Harlee, he had heard some details about Rhys’ incident.
