Chapter 168:
Upon his arrival, he noticed Ashton approaching him with several skewers in hand.
Ashton greeted him with a smile, “Thanks for the firewood, Liam. We almost ran out p>
After taking a closer look at Liam, Ashton’s expression changed as if he had noticed something important.
Pretending to be concerned, Ashton asked, “What happened to you? Why are you covered in rashes after just a few minutes? We’re in a remote area. You should be more cautious p>
Liam’s face went pale, and he almost snapped at Ashton right then.
However, after remembering Ashton’s combat skills, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger for the moment. Liam silently reminded himself to stay calm. Ashton was tough. Liam vowed that he would settle everything, old and new, once his backup arrived.
With that resolution in mind, he snorted dismissively and walked toward the entrance of his campsite.
Ashton watched Liam’s reaction, then he turned and walked back to his own campsite, still carrying the skewers and moving at a leisurely pace.
At his campsite entrance, Liam paced back and forth for about ten minutes, feeling uncomfortable and growing more impatient by the second.
Unable to contain his frustration any longer, he began to mutter under his breath, “A bunch of useless idiots! I sent the coordinates a long time ago, and they still haven’t shown up? Enjoy your arrogance for now, Ashton Baldwin, but you’ll regret it later. Even if you beg on your knees, I won’t let you off easily!” Liam then unleashed a torrent of insults aimed at Ashton.
At that moment, a small group of individuals walked by Liam. They appeared well-dressed and seemed like city office workers out on an excursion.
Liam barely glanced at them as he continued hurling insults at Ashton.

However, when they overheard Ashton’s name, they stopped in their tracks and approached Liam with curiosity.
“Excuse me, sir, are you acquainted with Ashton p>
Already agitated, Liam’s irritation flared up further at the mention of Ashton’s name, prompting him to glare at the newcomers.
“What does it matter to you? Mind your own business and leave p>
Liam was unaware that these were actually assassins from the Dark Night Organization, sent by Phillip to target Ashton. The group’s leader, observing Liam’s dismissive behavior, deduced that Liam must have a connection to Ashton. The leader’s initially calm demeanor quickly shifted as he adopted a more stern expression.
“I’ll give you one more chance to answer. What is your relationship with Ashton p>
Liam detected a threatening undertone in the man’s voice.
Because of that, his own anger intensified further.
He assumed that these individuals were likely colleagues or friends of Ashton, probably invited to join the outing.
