?<strong>Chapter 905:</strong>


    “Be mad all you want, but we both know you can’t ignore me forever.” With that, Jayden turned and left the cottage.


    In truth, Jayden wasn’t the least bit intimidated by Charlie. He believed Charlie was no longer a threat. Once Jayden brought out his trump card, Charlie would have no choice but to submit. This operation might be risky, but if it seeded, Jayden would reap boundless benefits.


    Less than an hourter, Jayden arrived in a deste town, far more remote than the outskirts. It had once been a livelymunity but was now reduced to a barren battlefield.


    Jayden and his men had trapped Charlie’s group, and both parties were currently caught in a deadlock. Charlie let out a litany of curses as he swept his gaze over his fallenrades, including Rory, who had been shot in the head by Jayden himself.


    Charlie and what remained of his forces were taking cover in a dpidated house. Taking advantage of the temporary ceasefire, Charlie sat down to collect his thoughts while the others rested. He needed to reassess the situation.


    How had Jayden gained such terrifying power? Not only had Jaydenpletely separated his forces, but he and his men had somehow managed to outmaneuver Charlie at every turn. Each step Charlie took only pulled him deeper into Jayden’s trap.


    After mulling it over for a while, Charlie muttered an expletive. “Enzo, you bastard. How dare you set me up! If I get out of here alive, I’ll make sure to hunt you down and send you to an early grave!”


    g?lnσν????s﹒??????, the heart of fiction


    Looking back, taking Enzo’s advice and deliberately provoking Jayden proved to be the dumbest decision Charlie had ever made.


    Charlie slumped against the wall in resignation. Just then, his phone rang. The screen was already cracked, and most of the device’s functions were no longer working, but it could still receive calls.


    Charlie stared at Jayden’s name shing on his screen and hesitated for a few seconds. When he finally took the call, the first thing he said was, “Are you calling to surrender?”


    This was met with lightughter. “Very funny,” Jayden drawled. “You sure got a lot of nerve to ask me that when you’re the one backed into a corner.”


    Jayden delivered his insults openly, yet Charlie remained unmoved by his words.


    Speaking softly, Charlie questioned, “What are your ns if surrender isn’t on the table? Surely, you didn’te here just to reminisce?”


    With a light chuckle, Jayden inquired, “Don’t you wonder about your daughter?”
