Chapter 867:
Ritchie froze for a moment, and then his eyes widened.
âWho would be stupid enough to go after those Harlee cares for? Are they out of their minds? Do they have a death wish?â
Tonya nodded.
âItâs Haleâs crew. Later, weâll ensure Jose and Belinda are safe and let Harlee handle the rest. Sheâs furious this time. Sheâs going to take care of it personally.â
Ritchieâs face lit up with anticipation. It had been ages since heâd seen Harleeâs wrath in action. The encounter was bound to be brutal and unforgettable.
In a deserted industrial site on Baythornâs edge, the tension was palpable.
Ritchie raced furiously, the car roaring as he pushed its capabilities to the brink.
A trip that would normally take sixty minutes was slashed to forty.
He was desperate to avoid delays and the inevitable scolding that would follow. Tardiness meant not just facing Harleeâs wrath but also enduring Tonyaâs sharp remarks.
Roughly three hundred meters from the facility, Ritchie glanced sideways.
âTonya, head in first and meet Harlee. Iâll find a secure spot to park.â
Tonyaâs face lit up with excitement, eager to witness Harleeâs legendary temper in action.
âOkay. Iâll go in first.â After Tonya disappeared from view, Ritchie hastily tucked the vehicle into a concealed nook, climbed out, and promptly lost his composure.
He retched by the side of the road, a rare occurrence since his return. Though speed had once been a thrill for him, it now felt jarring and alien.

For the entire journey, heâd suppressed his discomfort, refusing to show weakness before Tonya. If she associated him with vulnerability, his image as a dependable figure would crumble.
Thankfully, Ritchie recovered quickly. The moment passed, and he straightened himself, ready to move on. Meanwhile, Tonya had already reached Harlee, who waited with an air of calm authority.
It was understandable that Tonya was exhilarated.
Harlee hadnât engaged in confrontation for over a year, ever since theyâd dismantled a fraud syndicate together. Tonya couldnât help but reminisce about Harleeâs previous exploits, where she had taken on opponents with relentless determination. The memory thrilled Tonya to no end.
Harlee had been out of action for quite some time, making todayâs events all the more thrilling.
Haleâs lackeys were every bit as foolish as their leader.
Despite Hale being in custody, they still had the audacity to target those Harlee cared for. They had certainly mastered the art of courting disaster.
Tonya approached, eager for instructions.
âWhatâs the plan, Harlee?â
Harlee handed over a detailed layout and replied, âIâve scoped out the interior. Iâll take the lead. You and Ritchie handle extraction. Remember, Rhysâ parents are the priority.â
Once inside, each of you will secure one of them.â Tonya nodded firmly.
âUnderstood. Weâll ensure their safety so you can focus.â
Harlee acknowledged with a sharp nod just as Ritchie joined them.
Tonya quickly relayed the details to Ritchie, and the trio prepared for their mission.
Elsewhere, concealed in the undergrowth near the factory, Kiaan remained on edge. Repeated attempts to contact Harlee had failed, leaving him with a gnawing sense of dread.
