Hiding in the woods, Memphis swallowed as he watched the formidable Briar take down four burly men with four shots in under thirty seconds.
As expected, Briar was still her old self.
Still as ruthless as ever.
They recalled when they first joined the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base and were assigned to Briar for special training, only to see that she was a girl, and an underage one at that…
Because they arrogantly underestimated her, Briar put them through hellish training that almost broke them.
Later, they went on an assessment mission with Briar, but an unexpected incident left their entire team trapped in a primeval forest.
It was Briar who single–handedly killed twenty–one people and broke them out of the encirclement.
So, even if the bodyguards at the cave entrance were all combat–ready mercenaries, they were no match for Briar.
However, the gunshot quickly drew more bodyguards from inside the cave.
“Who’s there? Quick, get her!” A group of bodyguards rushed out. Their expressions changed drastically when they saw their comrades lying dead on the ground.
Then they looked again and saw only a woman standing at the cave entrance.
So, a single woman had killed their four comrades.
When they saw the gun in her hand, there was no room for doubt.
They knew it was her.
It didn’t matter how this woman killed their comrades; she had to die today.
The bodyguards charged forward, yelling as they aimed their guns at Briar.
But in the next second, the shouting bodyguards scattered in panic.
“Holy shit! Get down…”
“Damn it, run!”
One moment, Briar was holding a gun, and the next, it was a bomb.
They thought, ‘What the hell? This woman doesn’t play fair.
They were in a cave.

The blast from just one bomb would leave them nowhere to hide, and it could even affect the stone walls of
the cave…
Briar watched the bodyguards scramble for cover in a panic, a wicked sneer playing on her lips. “Why run? I only have seventeen or eighteen of these little gourd bombs.”
One of those little gourd bombs was enough to kill them all, and she had seventeen or eighteen of them.
They would be blown to bits, leaving not even a skeleton behind.
They wondered who on earth Briar was.
She was so vicious.
Over half of the bodyguards assigned to the secret research facility in the cave were not professional killers. Some had never even fired a gun or killed anyone.
Security in Shoneport was exceptionally tight, so it was an incredible feat for the Lopez family to equip each of their men with a gun.
So, when the bodyguards saw a woman with a sinister smile rushing at them with a bomb in her hand, their first instinct was not to kill her.
Instead, they ran! This was absolutely terrifying.
No one would risk their life fighting a woman with a bomb.
These bodyguards believed that their four companions had foolishly charged forward even after seeing the woman with the bomb. Who else would die if not them?
As they fled, they silently cursed the four for their stupidity.
Briar pursued the bodyguards into the cave, planting small gourd–shaped bombs in the stone walls along the
way.
These modified time bombs would soon be incredibly effective.
She was so bold, and she wasn’t afraid of the surveillance cameras.
She was Briar, the legendary hacker Bree. Of course she would hack their surveillance system before entering such a dangerous and unknown place.
She had already overridden the cave’s surveillance system, causing the monitors to go black. No one else knew where she had planted the bombs.
With a single gourd–shaped bomb, Briar herded the bodyguards into the main laboratory chamber, like a hunter cornering its prey.
Luckily, the main laboratory chamber was large enough. Otherwise, they would have crashed into the bodyguards assigned to guard it as they rushed in.

Six bodyguards were stationed in the main chamber. They were all international mercenaries hired by the Lopez family for a hefty sum.
They were in a completely different league than the other bodyguards.
Hearing the commotion, they ran over to see what was happening and were furious. “Damn it! You idiots! Why are you running? Kill her! What a bunch of idiots, forced to run and hide by a single woman. How pathetic.”
Without another word, the mercenaries raised their guns and fired.
They had blood on their hands and were nothing like those cowardly bodyguards.
Besides, this woman dared to break into the lab, so she couldn’t be left alive. Who knew if someone had sent her to steal their research findings?
Soon, gunshots erupted once more.
The researchers in the main lab finally noticed the intruder. Upon seeing the girl holding a bomb, they began to scream and run, plunging the room into chaos.
This commotion made it much easier for Briar to move and find cover.
Using a few panicked researchers as cover, she flawlessly dodged multiple shots from the six mercenaries.
It was quite amusing, whether it was the bodyguards at the cave entrance or the mercenaries guarding the main lab, to Briar, their combat abilities were utterly pathetic.
But it was these incompetent bodyguards and the Lopez family’s crude methods of concealment that had somehow managed to fool her for so many years.
Like an idiot, she had scoured the world for the Lopez family, searching for that secret laboratory….
It was ridiculous.
What was even more pathetic was that her dear grandfather had just watched as she ran around like a headless chicken, searching aimlessly.
A series of gunshots from behind snapped Briar out of her daze. She dodged behind a rock wall and glanced back.
The next instant, her brow furrowed.
Memphis had followed her in after all.
“That kid. Haven’t I told him to cover my rear?’ she thought.

Resigned, Briar nodded. “Alright. Be careful.”

While firing his gun, Memphis still found time to give Briar an “OK” sign. “Don’t worry, Briar.”
With time running out, Briar didn’t hesitate. She turned and charged toward the small room beside the main chamber.
She hadn’t seen Brody anywhere on her way in. Across the entire lab, this small room was the only place someone could be hiding.
Briar kicked open the door to the small room. A fierce killing intent immediately rushed at her, and she dodged on pure instinct.
Then, she tossed the small gourd bomb inside.
