Chapter 160
“Let’s call it a night. Great work, everyone. I’ll make sure you get overtime pay for this p>
Mira checked the time and realized they were well past office hours.
“No worries at all! We’re riding the momentum right now p>
As long as this project launched successfully, none of them would ever have to worry about a paycheck again.
Before heading out, Owen gave a final word of warning. “Try to stay inside. If you have to go out, keep the Iron Wolves glued to your side p>
“Keep the recruitment drive going, Owen. Anyone with real talent, lock them down p>
“You got it p>
Once they secured their foothold in Melvion City, they needed to aggressively expand into other cities. When that happened, they’d need an army of top-tier talent.
Meanwhile, back at the scene of the street brawl.
The hired muscle the Mercer family had brought were sprawled across the pavement. Lacey was the only one left standing.
“Mira! Mira! If you walk away now, you’re never stepping foot in the Mercer house again!
You’re a heartless monster! You’re going to rot in hell p>
She watched Mira’s silhouette disappear into the complex, screaming until her voice cracked and her throat burned, but Mira didn’t even spare her a backward glance.
It wasn’t until they were completely out of sight that Mrs. Mercer finally gave up.
When did that wretched girl turn into such a cold-blooded sociopath?
If she had only known… if she had only known p>
“Ma’am, please call for help p>
A groan from one of the bleeding thugs snapped her out of her daze.
He couldn’t take it anymore. Why was she standing around screaming at a brick wall instead of calling for an ambulance?
Did she really think yelling at Mira would do anything? If the girl had an ounce of pity left, she wouldn’t have just hospitalized half a dozen men without blinking.
They needed medical attention immediately. Any longer, and they were looking at permanent nerve damage.
Jolted back to reality, Lacey fumbled for her phone.
“Ma’am, don’t call 911 p>
Another thug grunted through the pain.
It was too high-profile. If the cops showed up, they’d all end up in a holding cell.
“Right… right p>
Mrs. Mercer dialed her husband first.
Her life had been a breeze for years. She always had staff to handle problems. She had zero experience dealing with a literal crime scene.
After hanging up, she scrambled to call Ethan Mercer, and then Norman.
Finally, she surveyed the groaning men scattered across the ground and rushed over to her unconscious son.
“Lucas! Lucas, wake up! Please, wake up p>
How could that ungrateful brat be so vicious? Striking down her own brother? After everything the family had done to pamper her!
They should have thrown her out the
Land
day she was born. Just thinking
about poor Mara suffering in the
countryside for seventeen years broke her heart content
She had no idea what kind of chemical spray Mira had used. Was it lethal?
“Mom, stop staring and help me get them to the hospital p>
Ethan’s sharp voice snapped her out of her spiral.
He had brought a backup crew, and they were already hauling the injured men into their SUVS.
“This is all that wretched girl’s fault p>
“Save it. Pick up Lucas’s medical kit and get in the car p>
Ethan snapped.
Lacey flinched. Her eldest son had never spoken to her with such blatant disrespect.
She wanted to scream at him, but one look at the bloodied men around her made the words die in her throat.
Ethan was absolutely furious. He takes his eyes off them for one second, and they drive straight into a warzone!
He couldn’t wrap his head around it. Weren’t the last two hospital trips enough of a warning? Did they just love getting pulverized?
He had warned them over and over,
but they refused to listen. Did they honestly still think Mira was some helpless victim they could bully into submission?
What none of them knew was that Norman had also arrived, but he was hanging back in the shadows.
When Lacey called him earlier, Norman had lied and said he was tied up with work. But he had quietly followed them anyway.
He needed to report this absolute trainwreck directly to Mr. Porter before making a move, waiting to see how the fallout would unfold.
