Three days later Ch 4

The analyst had helped him make great 

contributions

But, Brittany looked like she was in so much 

pain… 

Outside the warehouse, gunfire was still 

sounding

Brittany’s intimate partnership outweighed the 

analyst’s assistance

What’s more, if the intelligence officer 

survived, it would be her who got the most 

credit… 

Jake made up his mind

He grabbed his subordinate’s collar and said

Anyway, the perimeter has been resolved, so 

there’s no need to waste time here. Just 

throw a bomb in and say the bandits

detonated it themselves. Hurry up, don’t 

waste time.” 

Jake bent down and picked up Brittany

turning to leave

The moment the bomb was thrown, Jake 

turned back

The light of the explosion illuminated the 

woman who was tied up

I smiled sadly at Jake

Jake’s eyes widened

Chapter

The blast wave knocked me out cold

When I came to, I was already patched up

Sean Donovan, the captain who’d pulled me 

out, finally let out a quiet sigh of relief

His voice was icy, like he was still mad at me

Slight concussion, pretty bad scrapes on 

your arm, but you’ll bounce back. Lucky 

you’re alive.” 

I smiled weakly, wincing at the pain

After all these years, he was still such

hardass

I closed my eyes as I listened to Sean brief 

the higherups on the mission’s success

Everything that had happened was a setup. 

Or rather, the game had started the day 

Brittany joined the team

Brittany was a mole, planted by the enemy

The top brass hadn’t expected Jake to fall for 

such a basic honeytrap

He claimed he loved me, but he was easily 

swayed by another woman

I didn’t want a man like that

So Jake became a pawn, unknowingly playing 

his part

く 

We used Jake and Brittany to feed the 

organization false information, leading them 

down a path to selfdestruction

Today, the moment I stepped into that 

enemyoccupied field command, Operation 

Decapitation was officially in motion

The perimeter attacks were just a distraction

a way for me to infiltrate the core base and 

transmit the precise coordinates

When Jake entered the warehouse, he found 

a badly wounded leader

That was because I’d already taken him out

But only I and a few highranking officials 

knew the truth

く 

The agency would announce that Jake’s team 

had killed the leader, protecting me from 

retaliation

When we were planning the op, Sean’s eyes 

flashed with anger. Being a scapegoat is an 

honor! If he wasn’t useful, I’d put a bullet in 

his head!” 

The original script had me walking away 

unscathed, telling Jake the truth, and begging 

for his forgiveness

Three days ago, I’d changed the script

Chloewould die in the blast

And I would walk away from everything and 

get my freedom

The shockwave from the explosion threw 

Jake to the ground

He scrambled to his feet and tried to charge 

into the fire

It was too late

The bomb had gone off

Chloe was gone

Remembering her last smile, Jake felt like his 

heart was exploding

He dug through the wreckage, his fingers raw 

and bleeding, trembling as he tried to make 

sense of what happened

く 

This can’t be happening. Chloe wouldn’t be 

here.” 

I must have been wrong. It just looks like 

her.” 

Jake muttered to himself, desperately trying 

to convince himself it wasn’t true

Brittany tried to comfort him, reaching out to 

hug him

Jake shoved her away

Get away from me! If it weren’t for you,

wouldn’t have” 

He wouldn’t have ordered the bomb to be 

dropped

く 

He was the one who killed Chloe

Noit was Brittany’s fault

Jake stumbled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot

Those who knew him knew this was a sign he 

was ready to kill

Jake’s hand went to his gun

The black barrel was pointed at Brittany

At the last second, a dart hit him in the neck

injecting a tranquilizer

The dart had no effect

A second dart

く 

A third dart

Finally, he swayed and collapsed

Captain Sean Donovan’s face was twisted 

with anger. Get him out of here! I’m in 

charge of cleaning up.” 

Jake woke up two days later

The nurse smiled as she saw his confused 

look. Mr. Foster, are you feeling okay?

heard you did something great

Congratulations!” 

He smiled to be polite

A moment later, the smile froze on his face

Great deed
